DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be 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.

[0057] In the present disclosure, the orientation words such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. used without the opposite description indicate the orientation or position relationship defined based on the drawing shown in the drawing, which is only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a specific orientation, and a specific orientation configuration and operation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer of the corresponding structure profile. The length direction of the panel, the height direction of the panel, and the thickness direction of the panel can refer to the directions shown in the drawings, the length direction of the panel 1, i.e. the length direction of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the height direction of the panel 1, i.e. the height direction of the air conditioner indoor unit. Figures 1 to 4

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the terms such as "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequentiality and importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same reference signs in different drawings represent the same elements.

[0059] ​In the description of the present disclosure, it also needs to be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", "connected", "install" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] In the related art, in order to improve the use experience of the air conditioner, such as to avoid the air of the air conditioner directly blowing to the user, a human body sensor for detecting indoor human body information is arranged on the air conditioner panel, but due to the small space on the air conditioner panel, and other components (such as an electronic control board, etc.) are also arranged on the air conditioner panel, the fixing of the wire harness of the detection module (such as the connecting wire harness between the detection module and the electronic control board) on the air conditioner panel is not convenient, in addition, how to increase the detection range of the indoor object information has also become the current research direction.

[0061] In view of this, as Figures 1 to 8 shown, according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a panel assembly 100 for an air conditioner indoor unit is provided. Figure 1 The three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the panel assembly provided by an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure is exemplarily shown, and it should be understood that, Figure 1 only the connection position of the first electric connecting wire on the detection module is shown for illustration, and the wiring structure is not shown. As Figure 1 shown, the panel assembly 100 includes a panel 1 and at least one detection module 3, the panel 1 has an arrangement surface 11, the detection module 3 is installed on the arrangement surface 11, the detection module 3 has a detection surface 31 for detecting the object information in the room, a first end 34 of the detection module 3 is away from the arrangement surface 11, and a second end 35 of the detection module 3 is arranged close to the arrangement surface 11, so that the detection surface 31 is arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11, wherein the first end 34 (i.e. the end of the detection module 3 away from the arrangement surface 11) is adapted to be electrically connected with the electronic control board 2 through the first electric connecting wire 20.

[0062] The above-mentioned detection surface 31 is the surface of the side of the detection module 3 from which the signal is emitted when the detection module 3 emits the signal, or the surface of the side of the detection module 3 which is first contacted by the signal when the detection module 3 receives the signal.

[0063] In the above-mentioned panel assembly 100, the at least one detection module 3 installed on the panel 1 can be electrically connected with the electronic control board 2 through the first electric connecting wire 20, the electronic control board 2 can control the detection module 3, and can process the information detected by the detection module 3, so as to realize the detection of the indoor object information, and further improve the use experience of the user.

[0064] For example, the detection module 3 can be used to detect the specific position of the indoor personnel, and under the action of the electric control panel 2, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner indoor unit is adjusted to avoid the wind blown out through the air outlet 13 of the air conditioner directly blowing to the human body, so as to improve the use experience of the user.

[0065] Through the above technical solution, since the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is away from the arrangement surface 11 of the panel 1, and the second end 35 of the detection module 3 is close to the arrangement surface 11 of the panel 1, so that the detection surface 31 of the detection module is arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11. In this way, by reasonably designing the inclination angle of the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 and the included angle between the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 and the arrangement surface 11, the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 can be directed to the area to be detected in the indoor, and the object information in the indoor is detected. This is beneficial to reduce the invalid detection area of the detection module 3 and can reduce the detection dead angle of the detection module 3.

[0066] In addition, since the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is away from the arrangement surface 11 of the panel 1, and the first electric connection line 20 is connected to the first end 34 of the detection module 3, in other words, the first electric connection line 20 is connected to the end of the detection module 3 away from the arrangement surface 11, and the first end 34 of the detection module 3 away from the panel 1 has a certain distance from the first electric connection line 20. The connection between the first end 34 of the detection module 3 and the first electric connection line 20 is more convenient, and the wiring is convenient.

[0067] It can be understood that the above-mentioned detection dead angle refers to the area that the signal of the detection module 3 cannot cover. For example, when the number of detection modules 3 is one, and the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 is attached to the panel 1 for installation, since the signal of the detection module 3 presents a half "8" shape diffusion, the signal of the detection module 3 can only cover the area in front of the air conditioner indoor unit where the detection module 3 is arranged, and cannot cover the area on the left and right sides of the air conditioner indoor unit. In this case, the areas corresponding to the left and right sides of the air conditioner indoor unit are the detection dead angles.

[0068] The specific type of the above-mentioned detection module 3 is not limited in the present disclosure. For example, the above-mentioned detection module 3 can be a human body detection module, which is used to detect whether there is personnel in the detection indoor and the specific position of the personnel in the indoor, and adjust the air direction, air volume, etc. of the air conditioner according to the dynamic information of the indoor personnel, so as to improve the use experience of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the above-mentioned detection module 3 can also be a temperature detection module, which can be used to detect the temperature of the air in different areas of the indoor, and dynamically adjust the air direction, air volume, etc. of the air conditioner according to the detection value, so as to reduce the temperature difference in different areas of the indoor, and also improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0069] In the present disclosure, the detection module 3 can have any inclined direction on the panel 1, which is not limited in the present disclosure. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the first end 34 is the lower end of the detection module 3 (i.e. the lower end of the detection module 3 in the height direction of the panel 1), the second end 35 is the upper end of the detection module 3 (i.e. the upper end of the detection module 3 in the height direction of the panel 1), and the detection surface 31 and the arrangement surface 11 are arranged at an angle in the height direction of the panel 1. That is, the detection module 3 is inclined up and down along the height direction of the panel 1, so that by reasonably designing the inclination direction of the detection module 3 and the included angle between the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 and the arrangement surface 11, the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 can be directed to the area to be detected in the room, and the object information in the room can be detected.

[0070] For example, the detection module 3 can be inclined towards the ground 8 (i.e. inclined downward along the height direction of the panel 1), and the detection area of the detection surface 31 arranged towards the ground 8 can be mainly concentrated on the ground 8 and the wall surface in the room (i.e. the area where people move), and not concentrated on the area where the ceiling 7 is located (i.e. the area where people do not move), thereby reducing the dead angle of the detection module 3.

[0071] As another embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection module 3 can also be inclined upward along the height direction of the panel 1, so as to be able to scan the ceiling 7 area in the room, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0072] In order to further facilitate the connection of the detection module 3 and the first electric connection line 20, optionally, the first end 34 is provided with a connection terminal, and the connection terminal is adapted to be connected to the control panel 2 through the first electric connection line 20. The connection terminal can connect the detection module 3 and the control panel 2, so as to realize the signal transmission between the detection module 3 and the control panel 2.

[0073] In order to facilitate the fixation of the first electric connection line 20, optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the panel assembly 100 further comprises a wiring structure 12, and the wiring structure 12 is arranged on the arrangement surface 11. At least part of the first electric connection line 20 is arranged in the wiring structure 12, and is connected to the control panel 2 after passing through the wiring structure 12, that is, one end of the first electric connection line 20 is connected to the first end of the detection module 3, and is connected to the control panel 2 after passing through the wiring structure 12.

[0074] Since the wiring structure 12 is arranged on the arrangement surface 11 of the panel 1, and at least part of the first electric connection line 20 for electrically connecting the detection module 3 and the electric control board 2 is arranged in the wiring structure 12, the first electric connection line 20 of the detection module 3 can be fixed on the panel 1 through the wiring structure 12, the fixing effect of the wire harness (the first electric connection line 20) of the detection module 3 on the panel assembly 100 is good, and the wire harness is not easy to shake, the appearance is high, and the interference or collision between the first electric connection line 20 and other parts in the indoor unit of the air conditioner is avoided, and the normal use of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is affected.

[0075] Especially when the wiring structure 12 is a structure for wiring the motor 5 and other components of the panel 1 on the panel 1, the wiring structure of the detection module 3 does not need to be arranged separately, and the wire harness of the detection module 3 can be fixed through the wiring structure 12, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the entire panel assembly 100 and reducing the production cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0076] In order to reduce the length of the first electric connection line 20, optionally, as shown in Figure 1 in the height direction of the panel 1, the distance between the first end 34 and the wiring structure 12 is less than the distance between the second end 35 and the wiring structure 12. In other words, the distance between the first end 34 for connecting the first electric connection line 20 on the detection module 3 and the wiring structure 12 is short, and the first end 34 which is short in distance from the wiring structure 12 is conducive to shortening the connecting wire harness between the detection module 3 and the electric control board 2, on the one hand, it can facilitate wiring, on the other hand, it can also avoid the increase of the cost caused by the increase of the length of the first electric connection line 20.

[0077] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 in the thickness direction of the panel 1, the distance between the first end 34 and the wiring structure 12 is less than the distance between the second end 35 and the wiring structure 12. The first end 34 of the detection module 3 which is short in distance from the wiring structure 12 is conducive to shortening the connecting wire harness between the detection module 3 and the electric control board 2, on the one hand, it can facilitate wiring, on the other hand, it can also avoid the increase of the cost caused by the increase of the length of the first electric connection line 20.

[0078] The specific position of the wiring structure 12 on the panel 1 is not limited in the present disclosure, as an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 the panel assembly also includes the above-mentioned electric control board 2 mounted on the arrangement surface 11, the detection module 3 and the electric control board 2 are arranged along the length direction of the panel 1, and in the height direction of the panel 1, the first end 34 of the detection module 3 and the wiring structure 12 are located below the electric control board 2. The detection module 3 and the wiring structure 12 arranged below the electric control board 2 are low in height, on the one hand, it can facilitate wiring, on the other hand, it can also facilitate the maintenance of the operator.

[0079] As other embodiments of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned wiring structure 12 can also be located above the electric control panel 2, or the above-mentioned wiring structure 12 can also be located at the same height as the electric control panel 2, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0080] Here, it should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the above-mentioned wiring structure 12, as long as the above-mentioned wiring structure 12 is suitable for wiring. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the above-mentioned wiring structure 12 includes a wiring groove 121, and at least part of the first electric connecting line 20 is located in the wiring groove 121 and connected to the electric control panel 2 after passing through the wiring groove 121. Since at least part of the first electric connecting line 20 is connected to the electric control panel 2 after passing through the wiring groove 121, the wiring groove 121 can play a guiding role for the first electric connecting line 20 on the one hand, which facilitates the introduction of the first electric connecting line 20 to the electric control panel 2, and on the other hand, it can also play a fixing and protection role for the first electric connecting line 20, which can effectively avoid the first electric connecting line 20 from shaking or colliding with other parts in the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0081] As other embodiments of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned wiring structure includes a plurality of buckles, and the plurality of buckles are arranged in the extension direction of the first electric connecting line 20. In this way, the plurality of buckles can also realize the fixation of the above-mentioned first electric connecting line 20.

[0082] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the above-mentioned wiring groove 121 extends along the length direction of the panel 1. The wiring groove 121 extending along the length direction of the panel 1 can be formed as a straight groove, which is beneficial to reduce the length of the first electric connecting line 20 between the detection module 3 and the electric control panel 2. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for wiring; on the other hand, it can also avoid the cost increase caused by the excessive length of the first electric connecting line 20.

[0083] The present disclosure does not limit the angle between the detection surface 31 of the detection module 3 and the arrangement surface 11 of the panel 1, and as an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the above-mentioned detection surface 31 and the arrangement surface 11 are arranged at an angle in the length direction of the panel 1. In other words, the detection surface 31 is arranged left and right obliquely (as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the left-right direction of the drawing plane), in this way, by reasonably designing the inclination angle of the detection module 3, the detection dead angle of the detection module 3 on the corresponding area on both sides of the length direction of the panel 1 can be reduced, for example, the above-mentioned detection module 3 can be inclined towards the direction away from the wall surface on the left side of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the detection area of the detection surface 31 arranged on the right side of the air conditioner indoor unit can be mainly concentrated on the ground 8 and the wall surface of the indoor, that is, the personnel activity area, and will not be concentrated on the left side of the air conditioner indoor unit, that is, the area close to the wall body on the left side of the air conditioner indoor unit (that is, the area where personnel will not move), thereby also reducing the detection dead angle of the detection module 3.

[0084] Here, it can be understood that the above-mentioned detection surface 31 can be arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11 only along the height direction of the panel 1, or the above-mentioned detection surface 31 can be arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11 only along the length direction of the panel 1, or the above-mentioned detection surface 31 can be arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11 both along the height direction of the panel 1 and along the length direction of the panel 1, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0085] In order to increase the detection range of the indoor object information, optionally, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, at least one detection module 3 includes two detection modules 3 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the panel 1, such as a first detection module 32 and a second detection module 33, and the detection surface 31 of the two detection modules 3 is arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11 in the length direction of the panel 1, for example, the detection surface 31 of the first detection module 32 is arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11 in the length direction of the panel 1 (that is, the distance between the detection surface 31 of the first detection module 32 at both ends of the length direction of the panel 1 is different), and in the length direction of the panel 1, the detection surface 31 of the first detection module 32 is arranged opposite to the detection surface 31 of the second detection module 33.

[0086] In this way, by reasonably designing the included angle between the detection surface 31 of the two detection modules 3 and the panel 1, it is beneficial to make the detection module 3 have a larger (such as 180°) detection range in the length direction of the panel 1, and the two detection modules 3 with larger detection range can not only detect the object information of the area in front of the air conditioner indoor unit, but also simultaneously detect the object information on both sides of the air conditioner indoor unit, which has a larger detection range and a smaller detection dead angle, and is beneficial to improve the user's experience.

[0087] As a second embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 7 shown, in the length direction of the panel 1, the detection surface 31 of the two detection modules 32 can also be arranged opposite to each other, for example, the detection surface 31 of the first detection module 32 can also be arranged opposite to the detection surface 31 of the second detection module 33.

[0088] Therefore, by reasonably designing the included angle between the detection surface 31 of the two detection modules 3 and the panel 1, the detection module 3 can also have a larger detection range.

[0089] In addition, by arranging the detection surface 31 of the two detection modules 3 towards different directions of the panel 1 (i.e. the above-mentioned opposite or facing arrangement), on the one hand, the detection areas of the detection surface 31 of the multiple detection modules 3 with different orientations can cover different positions in the room, so as to detect the object information in different areas of the room, thereby increasing the detection range of the object information. On the other hand, the detection range of the multiple detection modules 3 arranged along the length direction of the panel 1 can also cover the left and right areas of the air conditioner (such as the indoor unit), and the detection module 3 can also realize the detection of the object information on the left and right sides of the air conditioner, which is beneficial to reduce the dead angle of the indoor object information detection.

[0090] In order to process the information detected by the detection module 3, optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The panel assembly 100 also includes an electronic control board 2 mounted on the arrangement surface 11, and at least one detection module 3 includes two detection modules 3 arranged on both sides of the electronic control board 2 in the length direction of the panel 1, and at least part of the first electrical connection line 20 between any one of the two detection modules 3 and the electronic control board 2 is arranged in the wiring structure 12.

[0091] Since the two detection modules 3 are arranged on both sides of the electronic control board 2 in the length direction of the panel 1, by reasonably designing the orientation of the detection module 3, for example, one of the two detection modules 3 is oriented towards one side of the panel 1, and the other of the two detection modules 3 is oriented towards the other side of the panel 1, the above-mentioned two detection modules 3 can simultaneously detect the object information in different areas of the room, which is beneficial to increase the detection range of the indoor object information, thereby reducing the dead angle of the indoor object information detection.

[0092] In addition, since at least part of the first electrical connection line 20 between any one of the two detection modules 3 and the electronic control board 2 is arranged in the wiring structure 12, by the wiring structure 12, the fixation of the first electrical connection line 20 of any one of the two detection modules 3 on the panel 1 can be realized, and the fixation effect of the first electrical connection line 20 on the panel assembly 100 is good, and it is not easy to shake, has high aesthetic property, and is not easy to interfere or collide with other parts in the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0093] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific arrangement position of the above-mentioned two detection modules 3 on the panel 1, and as an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the panel 1 is provided with an air outlet 13 for guiding air to the indoor, and the two detection modules 3 are respectively located on the two sides of the air outlet 13 in the length direction of the panel 1. Since the two detection modules 3 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the air outlet 13, by reasonably designing the positions of the two detection modules 3 on the air outlet 13, the distance between the two detection modules 3 can be large, the signal coverage of the two detection modules 3 with a large distance is wide, and the object information of a larger area can be detected, and the dead angle is small.

[0094] In order to facilitate the installation of the detection module 3 on the panel 1, optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the panel assembly 100 further comprises a mounting member 4, and the detection module 3 is mounted on the arrangement surface 11 through the mounting member 4, so that the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is away from the arrangement surface 11, and the second end 35 of the detection module 3 is arranged close to the arrangement surface 11. The mounting member 4 can realize the installation of the detection module 3 on the panel 1, without the need to provide a structure (such as a groove) for installing the detection module 3 on the panel 1, and the installation of the detection module 3 on the panel 1 can be realized only through the mounting member 4, so that the installation of the detection module 3 on the panel 1 is more convenient.

[0095] The specific structure of the mounting member 4 is not limited in the present disclosure, as long as the mounting member 4 is convenient for installing the detection module 3, and is convenient for being installed on the detection module 3. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the mounting member 4 comprises a first part 41 and a second part 42, the first part 41 extends in the height direction of the panel 1, and the second part 42 extends in the length direction of the panel 1 towards the direction close to the wiring structure 12, wherein the detection module 3 is arranged on the first part 41, and the first electric connection line 20 of the detection module 3 is connected to the electric control panel 2 from the second part 42. The second part 42 of the mounting member 4 can play a guiding and fixing role for the first electric connection line 20 of the detection module 3, and since the second part 42 extends towards the direction of the electric control panel 2, it is also beneficial to reduce the length of the first electric connection line 20 of the detection module 3, facilitate arrangement, and can reduce the cost. In this way, by reasonably designing the relative position between the second part 42 of the mounting member 4 and the wiring structure 12, the length of the first electric connection line 20 between the detection module 3 and the electric control panel 2 can be further reduced.

[0096] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second part 42 is substantially aligned with the wiring structure 12 arranged on the arrangement surface 11 in the height direction of the panel 1. The distance between the second part 42 of the mounting member 4 and the wiring structure 12 is short in the height direction of the panel 1, which is beneficial to reduce the length of the first electric connection line 20 between the detection module 3 and the electric control panel 2.

[0097] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 5As shown, the mounting member 4 is configured as a box structure 43, the mounting member 4 has a first cavity 44 located at the first part 41 and a second cavity 45 located at the second part 42, the detection module 3 is arranged in the first cavity 44, the second part 42 is provided with a wire passing hole 46 communicating with the second cavity 45 on the end face away from the first part 41, and the first electric connecting wire 20 passes through the wire passing hole 46, that is, the first electric connecting wire 20 passes through the second cavity 45 and the wire passing hole 46 and enters the wiring structure 12. Since the mounting member 4 is configured as a box structure 43, in this way, the detection module 3 can be installed inside the mounting member 4, and the mounting member 4 can protect the detection module 3, so that the detection module 3 is not easy to collide with other parts during use, which is beneficial to improve the service life of the detection module 3.

[0098] In order to further improve the service life of the detection module 3, optionally, as shown in the figure, in the height direction of the panel 1, the height of the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is not less than the height of the wire passing hole 46. Since the height of the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is not less than the height of the wire passing hole 46, and the mounting member 4 has a bent first part 41 and a second part 42, in this way, even if the air conditioner indoor unit produces water due to condensation and the like during use, the water flow cannot flow to the detection module 3 through the wire passing hole 46, effectively avoiding the detection module 3 being damaged by contacting water, even causing a short circuit and a fire. The service life of the detection module 3 is longer and the safety is higher.

[0099] As mentioned above, as an optional embodiment, the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is an end away from the panel 1 in the thickness direction, and in the height direction of the panel 1, the height of the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is not less than the height of the wire passing hole 46, which to some extent helps to improve the height of the lower end (i.e. the first end 34) of the detection module 3 and makes the wiring end (i.e. the first end 34) of the detection module 3 away from the panel 1, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the detection module 3.

[0100] In order to realize the installation of multiple detection modules 3 on the panel 1, optionally, as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the number of the mounting member 4 is multiple, the multiple mounting members 4 include two mounting members 4 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the panel 1, the two mounting members 4 are respectively located on both sides of the electric control panel 2 in the length direction of the panel 1, and / or the two mounting members 4 are arranged symmetrically along the line connecting the two mounting members 4 in the length direction of the panel 1. The multiple mounting members 4 can realize the installation of multiple detection modules 3 on the panel 1, and the fixing effect of the multiple detection modules 3 on the panel 1 is good.

[0101] In addition, since the two mounting members 4 are symmetrically arranged about the line connecting the two mounting members 4 in the length direction of the panel 1, the detection modules 3 in the two mounting members 4 can share the same wiring structure 12 (such as the wiring groove 121), which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the panel 1 and reduce the production and manufacturing costs of the panel 1.

[0102] In order to facilitate the installation of the detection module 3 in the mounting member 4, the mounting member 4 is provided with a mounting surface 441 for mounting the detection module 3, and the mounting surface 441 is arranged at an angle with the arrangement surface 11, so that the first end 34 of the detection module 3 is away from the arrangement surface 11, and the second end 35 of the detection module 3 is arranged close to the arrangement surface 11. Figure 5

[0103] In this way, by reasonably designing the included angle between the mounting surface 441 and the arrangement surface 11 of the panel 1, when the detection module 3 is installed, it is not necessary to repeatedly measure the installation angle of the detection module 3 on the panel 1, and only by mounting a plurality of detection modules 3 on the corresponding mounting surfaces 441, the detection module 3 and the panel 1 can be arranged at a preset angle, which is beneficial to simplify the installation steps of the detection module 3 on the panel 1, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the detection module 3 on the panel 1.

[0104] Here, it should be noted that the specific installation method of the detection module 3 in the first cavity is not limited in the present disclosure, and the detection module 3 can be installed in close contact with the bottom wall of the first cavity, and the detection module 3 can be installed in suspension in the first cavity.

[0105] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 The bottom wall of the first cavity 44 is provided with at least two connecting protruding columns 442, and the protruding column end face 444 away from the bottom wall is provided with a first mounting hole 443, which is used to be connected with the second mounting hole on the detection module 3, and the mounting surface 441 includes the protruding column end face 444.

[0106] In this way, when the detection module 3 is installed on the connecting protruding column 442, the detection module 3 and the bottom wall of the containing cavity can have a certain gap, so that even if the side of the detection module 3 away from the panel 1 is uneven (for example, the side of the detection module 3 away from the panel 1 has protruding and / or recessed components), the detection module 3 can be reliably installed in the containing cavity through the connecting protruding column 442, effectively avoiding the case that the uneven detection module 3 is directly installed on the bottom wall of the containing cavity, and the detection module 3 is not installed stably in the containing cavity.

[0107] ​The specific mounting manner of the detection module 3 on the connecting protrusion 442 is not limited in the present disclosure. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting member 4 further comprises a threaded fastener, and a threaded hole is formed in the connecting protrusion 442. The threaded fastener can pass through the second mounting hole on the detection module 3 and be screwed with the connecting protrusion 442, so that the detection module 3 is fixed on the connecting protrusion 442 with good fixing effect.

[0108] As another embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection module 3 can also be fixed on the connecting protrusion 442 by a fixing pin, a rivet or the like, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0109] It should be noted that the specific arrangement position of the connecting protrusion 442 in the accommodating cavity is not limited in the present disclosure. Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , the number of the connecting protrusions 442 is two, and the two connecting protrusions 442 are arranged in the accommodating cavity along the diagonal line of the detection module 3. The detection module 3 fixed in the accommodating cavity along the diagonal line has good fixing effect and is not easy to loosen.

[0110] In order to improve the strength of the mounting member 4, optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , the mounting member 4 further comprises a plurality of reinforcing ribs 47, which are arranged between the side wall of the first chamber 44 and the bottom wall of the first chamber 44. The reinforcing ribs 47 are provided with a lapping surface 471 for lapping with the detection module 3, and the lapping surface 471 and the protrusion end surface 444 jointly define a mounting surface 441. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 47 arranged between the side wall and the bottom wall of the first chamber 44 can improve the overall strength of the mounting member 4. The mounting member 4 with high strength is not easy to be damaged and has a long service life.

[0111] In addition, since the reinforcing ribs 47 are further provided with the lapping surface 471 for lapping with the detection module 3, and the lapping surface 471 and the protrusion end surface 444 jointly define the mounting surface 441. In this way, the reinforcing ribs 47 and the connecting protrusion 442 can jointly support the detection module 3, which is conducive to improving the fixing effect of the detection module 3 in the mounting member 4 and further avoiding the shaking of the detection module 3.

[0112] In order to facilitate the installation of the mounting member 1 to the panel 1, optionally, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the mounting member 1 is provided with a first positioning portion 48 and a first mounting portion 49, and the panel 1 is provided with a second positioning portion and a second mounting portion 15.
