For simplicity of the disclosure, the description below refers to the components of a specific example by reference to the drawings. Of course, this is merely an example, and is not intended to limit the present application. Moreover, the present application can repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples.

In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0078] The air conditioner 1000 of the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0079] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner 1000 includes a front panel component 1 having an air outlet 12a, and a switch door component 200 movable relative to the front panel component 1 to open and close the air outlet 12a, the switch door component 200 being hidden inside the front panel component 1 when the air outlet 12a is opened. The front panel component 1 includes a panel support 11 and a front panel 12 disposed on the front side of the panel support 11, the portions of the front panel 12 on both sides of the air outlet 12a in the left-right direction are respectively a first panel portion 12b and a second panel portion 12c, the switch door component 200 opens the air outlet 12a by moving in the direction from the first panel portion 12b to the second panel portion 12c, and the first panel portion 12b is provided with a first limiting structure 127a at both ends in the left-right direction, the first limiting structure 127a is in limiting cooperation with the panel support 11 to limit the front-to-back movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11.

[0080] The air conditioner 1000 includes a front panel component 1 on the front side, the front panel component 1 has an air outlet 12a for the air conditioner 1000 to blow air. The switch door component 200 is movably arranged at the air outlet 12a, the switch door component 200 opens the air outlet 12a when the air conditioner 1000 blows air, and the switch door component 200 closes the air outlet 12a when the air conditioner 1000 stops blowing air. The switch door component 200 is hidden inside the front panel component 1 when the air outlet 12a is opened, which can reduce the space occupation outside the air conditioner 1000.

[0081] The front panel component 1 comprises a panel support 11 and a front panel 12 arranged at the front side of the panel support 11, and an air outlet 12a is arranged on the front panel 12, and the front panel 12 comprises a first plate part 12b and a second plate part 12c arranged on the left and right sides of the air outlet 12a respectively. The switch door component 200 opens the air outlet 12a by moving in the direction from the first plate part 12b to the second plate part 12c. Alternatively, the switch door component 200 can slide in the direction from the first plate part 12b to the second plate part 12c; or alternatively, the switch door component 200 can rotate in the direction from the first plate part 12b to the second plate part 12c to open the air outlet 12a.

[0082] It can be understood that, during the movement of the switch door component 200, the switch door component 200 moves close to or away from the first plate part 12b, and the movement amplitude of the switch door component 200 relative to the second plate part 12c is small, and therefore it is necessary to ensure the structural stability of the first plate part 12b and reduce the interference between the switch door component 200 and the first plate part 12b during the movement of the switch door component 200.

[0083] In the related art, a panel reinforcing sheet metal is usually arranged between the panel support and the front panel for secondary connection, but the connection mode of arranging the panel reinforcing sheet metal does not actually rigidly connect the panel and the panel support, and the effect of improving the rigidity of the panel side is not significant.

[0084] The utility model discloses both ends in the left and right directions of the first plate part 12b are provided with the first limiting structure 127a, and the first plate part 12b is limited and cooperates with the panel support 11 through two first limiting structures 127a. Compared with the mode of connecting the front panel and the panel support by arranging the reinforcing sheet metal, compared with the indirect limiting cooperation mode of the three pieces (namely the reinforcing sheet metal, the front panel and the panel support), the panel support 11 and the front panel 12 of the utility model are directly limited and cooperated, the number of structural pieces is reduced, and therefore the assembly tolerance of the front panel component 1 can be reduced.

[0085] And the panel support 11 and the front panel 12 are directly limited and cooperated, the structural stability between the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 is strong, the cooperation gap between the switch door component 200 and the front panel component 1 can be better controlled, the gap between the switch door component 200 and the first plate part 12b in the closed state is small, and the gap is stable and not easy to deform, the interference between the switch door component 200 and the first plate part 12b during the movement of the switch door component 200 is reduced, and the switching action of the switch door does not scratch the front panel component 1.

[0086] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model, the two components of the panel support 11 and the front panel 12 are directly limited and matched, relative to the indirect limiting and matching of three components, the assembly tolerance of the front panel component 1 can be reduced, the matching gap between the switch door component 200 and the front panel component 1 can be better controlled, the switch door can ensure that the gap is small in the closed state, and the switch action of the switch door will not scratch the front panel component 1.

[0087] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first limiting structure 127a of the first plate part 12b at the end close to the air outlet 12a in the left-right direction is a proximal end limiting structure 127a1, and the first limiting structure 127a at the end away from the air outlet 12a is a distal end limiting structure 127a2, the proximal end limiting structure 127a1 is used for the position of limiting and matching with the panel support 11, which is a proximal end matching part 127a11, the distal end limiting structure 127a2 is used for the position of limiting and matching with the panel support 11, which is a distal end matching part 127a21, and the distal end matching part 127a21 is arranged away from the front surface of the front panel 12 in the front-back direction relative to the proximal end matching part 127a11.

[0088] In this way, the front panel 12 can be limited and matched with the panel support 11 at a position relatively close to the front panel 12 at the proximal end close to the air outlet 12a, and can be limited and matched with the panel support 11 at a position relatively away from the front panel 12 at the distal end away from the air outlet 12a, and such force support makes the structure of the front panel 12 more stable, and the front panel 12 is not easy to deform, and the matching gap between the switch door component 200 and the front panel component 1 can be better controlled.

[0089] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 3 The front panel 12 comprises a panel body 122 and a clamping plate structure 1272, the clamping plate structure 1272 is arranged at the rear of the panel body 122 in a spaced manner, and the end 1272a close to the air outlet 12a of the clamping plate structure 1272 is connected with the panel body 122 to form a limiting groove 12723 between the clamping plate structure 1272 and the panel body 122, and the limiting groove 12723 constitutes the proximal end matching part 127a11.

[0090] The limiting groove 12723 is defined by the panel body 122, so that the proximal end matching part 127a11 can be closer to the edge position of the front panel 12 close to the air outlet 12a, the deformation of the edge position of the front panel 12 can be reduced, and the matching gap between the switch door component 200 and the front panel component 1 can be more easily controlled.

[0091] Exemplarily, the front surface of the panel body 122 constitutes the front surface of the front panel 12, so that the structure can be simplified and the structural stability can be improved.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The first protruding structure 1132 of the panel support 11 protrudes forward at the edge close to the air outlet 12a, and is inserted into the limiting groove 12723 to achieve the limiting cooperation between the proximal limiting structure 127a1 and the panel support 11.

[0093] The first protruding structure 1132 of the panel support 11 protrudes forward, and the clamping plate structure 1272 of the front panel 12 protrudes backward, the first protruding structure 1132 is inserted into the limiting groove 12723 to limit the movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11 in the front-back direction. The plug-in cooperation between the first protruding structure 1132 and the limiting groove 12723 can shorten the distance between the panel support 11 and the front panel 12 close to the air outlet 12a, which is conducive to supporting the position of the limiting groove 12723 of the front panel 12. And by setting the first protruding structure 1132 on the edge of the panel support 11, the structural strength of the edge of the panel support 11 can be improved.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the edge of the panel support 11 close to the air outlet 12a can directly support the rear surface of the front panel 12 without protruding, which can improve the cooperation stability of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11, reduce the structural deformation of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 close to the air outlet 12a, and better control the cooperation gap between the door opening and closing component 200 and the front panel component 1.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the edge of the panel support 11 close to the air outlet 12a can directly support the rear surface of the front panel 12 without protruding, which can improve the cooperation stability of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11, reduce the structural deformation of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 close to the air outlet 12a, and better control the cooperation gap between the door opening and closing component 200 and the front panel component 1.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 The front panel component 1 further comprises an upper decorative strip 13 arranged in front of the panel support 11 and higher than the front panel 12, and the distal limiting structure 127a2 and the proximal limiting structure 127a1 are both limited to cooperate with the panel support 11 through the upward movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11. As shown in Figure 6 The lower part of the first protruding structure 1132 has an avoiding gap S1, and the clamping plate structure 1272 is adapted to extend backward into the avoiding gap S1 and make the first protruding structure 1132 inserted into the limiting groove 12723 through upward movement.

[0097] The design richness of the air conditioner 1000 is improved by arranging the upper decorative strip 13. When the front panel 12 is mounted on the panel support 11, it moves upward from the bottom, so that the distal end limiting structure 127a2 is limited and matched, and the proximal end limiting structure 127a1 is limited and matched. Through the matching mode of moving upward from the bottom, the upper end of the front panel 12 is always lower than the upper end of the panel support 11, so that the scratching and wear of the upper decorative strip 13 by the front panel 12 during installation can be reduced, the interference of the upper decorative strip 13 by the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 during installation can be reduced, the assembly efficiency and assembly reliability can be improved, and the working stability of the upper decorative strip 13 can be improved.

[0098] The first protruding structure 1132 protrudes towards the front side, and the lower part of the first protruding structure 1132 has an avoiding gap S1. When the front panel 12 moves upward and rearward relative to the panel support 11, the clamping plate structure 1272 moves rearward into the avoiding gap S1 to the rear of the first protruding structure 1132, and correspondingly, the first protruding structure 1132 moves forward and upward relative to the clamping plate structure 1272, so as to be inserted into the limiting groove 12723 formed between the clamping plate structure 1272 and the panel body 122.

[0099] In some other embodiments of the present application, the front panel component 1 does not include the upper decorative strip 13, and the front panel 12 can move downward, leftward or rightward relative to the panel support 11 to realize limiting and matching. At this time, the avoiding gap S1 can be reselected or cancelled.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The front panel 12 includes the panel body 122 and the first clamping hook 1271. The first clamping hook 1271 includes an extension part 12711 and a clamping hook part 12712. The extension part 12711 extends rearward from the panel body 122, and the clamping hook part 12712 is connected to the rear end of the extension part 12711 and is arranged rearward of the panel body 122 in a spaced manner, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping hook part 12712 constitutes a distal end matching part 127a21.

[0101] The first clamping hook 1271 includes the extension part 12711, which can pull the distance between the panel support 11 and the front panel 12 away from the air outlet 12a, thereby improving the support reliability of the front panel 12. As shown in Figure 3As shown, the limiting groove 12723 is configured as a proximal end fitting part 127a11, which is defined by the face plate body 122, and is arranged adjacent to the front surface of the face plate body 122 in the front-rear direction, so that the proximal end fitting part 127a11 forms a force point. The hook part 12712 constitutes a distal end fitting part 127a21, which is arranged away from the front surface of the front panel 12 in the front-rear direction, and the distal end fitting part 127a21 forms a force point. The connecting position of the extension part 12711 and the face plate body 122 forms a force point. As shown in the figure, Figure 3 As shown, the three force points form a triangular connection, which has stability and further improves the connection rigidity of the first plate part 12b and the face plate bracket 11, and can better control the fitting gap between the door opening and closing part 200 and the front panel part 1.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 As shown in the cross section of the front panel part 1, the connecting position of the extension part 12711 and the face plate body 122 constitutes a first vertex D1, the fitting position of the hook part 12712 and the face plate bracket 11 constitutes a second vertex D2, and the fitting position of the limiting groove 12723 and the face plate bracket 11 constitutes a third vertex D3. The first vertex D1, the second vertex D2 and the third vertex D3 constitute three vertices of an obtuse triangle.

[0103] The line connecting the first vertex D1 and the second vertex D2 constitutes the first side S1 of the above-mentioned obtuse triangle, the line connecting the second vertex D2 and the third vertex D3 constitutes the second side S2 of the above-mentioned obtuse triangle, and the line connecting the third vertex D3 and the first vertex D1 constitutes the third side S3 of the above-mentioned obtuse triangle. The length of the third side S3 is greater than the length of the first side S1, and the length of the second side S2 is greater than the length of the third side S3. The angle between the first side S1 and the third side S3 constitutes a first angle X1, the angle between the second side S2 and the first side S1 constitutes a second angle X2, and the angle between the third side S3 and the second side S2 constitutes a third angle X3. The angle of the first angle X1 is greater than the angle of the second angle X2, and the angle of the second angle X2 is greater than the angle of the third angle X3.

[0104] It can be understood that the extension part 12711 extends rearward by a smaller size to meet the structural stability of the hook structure 1272, so the length of the first side S1 is the shortest; and the first plate part 12b is configured to extend from left to right with a tendency of tilting from front to back, so the length of the second side S2 is greater than the length of the third side S3. And the limiting groove 12723 constitutes the proximal end cooperation part 127a11, the space is limited, so the angle of the third angle X3 where the third vertex D3 is located is the smallest, the small angle in the triangle corresponds to the small side, so the length of the first side S1 opposite to the third angle X3 is the shortest; similarly, the angle of the first angle X1 where the first vertex D1 is located is the largest, the second side S2 opposite to the first angle X1 is the longest; the angle of the second angle X2 where the second vertex D2 is located is moderate, and the length of the third side S3 opposite to the second angle X2 is moderate.

[0105] Therefore, the above three vertices (i.e. the above three stress points) form an obtuse triangle connection, which can further improve the connection rigidity and cooperation stability of the first plate part 12b and the panel support 11, better control the cooperation gap between the switch door part 200 and the front panel part 1, and occupy less space in the cooperation position, which is beneficial to improve the structural compactness.

[0106] In some embodiments of the utility model, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the panel support 11 has a second protruding structure 1131 protruding rearward at a position away from the air outlet 12a, like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the second protruding structure 1131 is formed with a clamping hole 11311, and the hook part 12712 extends rearward into the clamping hole 11311 and is limited to the rear side of the second protruding structure 1131 to realize the limiting cooperation of the distal end limiting structure 127a2 and the panel support 11.

[0107] The second protruding structure 1131 protrudes rearward from the panel support 11, and by pulling away the distance between the panel support 11 and the front panel 12 away from the air outlet 12a, cooperation with the hook part 12712 is realized, which is beneficial to improve the support reliability of the front panel 12.

[0108] The second protruding structure 1131 is formed with a clamping hole 11311, and the first hook 1271 can extend into the clamping hole 11311 to limit the hook part 12712 to the rear side of the second protruding structure 1131, and the cooperation of the first hook 1271 and the second protruding structure 1131 limits the movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11 in the front-rear direction. And by forming the clamping hole 11311 on the panel support 11, the processing difficulty can be reduced, and the support reliability of the hook part 12712 is stronger.

[0109] In some other embodiments of the present utility model, the elastic arm extending backward can be arranged at the position of the panel support 11 far from the air outlet 12a, and the hooking part 12712 is card jointed with the elastic arm backward to realize the limiting cooperation of the distal end limiting structure 127a2 and the panel support 11.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 5 , the front panel component 1 further comprises an upper decorative strip 13 arranged in front of the panel support 11 and higher than the front panel 12, and the distal end limiting structure 127a2 and the proximal end limiting structure 127a1 are both limited cooperated with the panel support 11 through the upward movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11. As shown in Figure 8 , the second protruding structure 1131 comprises a clamping position part 11312 above the clamping hole 11311, and the hooking part 12712 extends upward relative to the extending part 12711 to be limited in the rear side of the clamping position part 11312 through the upward movement after extending into the clamping hole 11311.

[0111] The design richness of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved by arranging the upper decorative strip 13. When the front panel 12 is installed on the panel support 11, it is moved from below to above, so that the distal end limiting structure 127a2 is limited cooperated, and the proximal end limiting structure 127a1 is limited cooperated. Through the cooperation mode of moving from below to above, the upper end of the front panel 12 is always lower than the upper end of the panel support 11, so that the scratching and abrasion of the upper decorative strip 13 by the front panel 12 during installation can be reduced, the interference of the upper decorative strip 13 by the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 during installation can be reduced, the assembly efficiency and assembly reliability can be improved, and the working stability of the upper decorative strip 13 can be improved.

[0112] After the hooking part 12712 extends into the clamping hole 11311 backward, it moves upward, the extending part 12711 passes the clamping position part 11312 to make the hooking part 12712 stop at the rear side of the clamping position part 11312, and the cooperation of the hooking part 12712 and the clamping position part 11312 limits the movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11 in the front-rear direction. In addition, as shown in Figure 8 , the extending part 12711 can stop below the clamping position part 11312 to limit the upward movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11, which can play the role of upper limiting and further improve the assembly stability of the front panel 12.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the two ends of the second plate part 12c in the left-right direction are respectively provided with second limiting structures 127b, which have the same structure as the first hooks 1271 and the same limiting cooperation mode with the panel support 11.

[0114] As shown, Figure 9 two rows of second limiting structures 127b are arranged on the second plate part 12c, and the two rows of second limiting structures 127b are arranged in the left-right direction and are spaced apart, thereby improving the connection stability between the front panel 12 and the panel support 11.

[0115] As shown, Figure 5 the second limiting structure 127b has the same structure as the first hook 1271 and includes an extension part and a hook part; correspondingly, as shown, Figure 4 the panel support 11 is provided with a second clamping hole 1133, and the second limiting structure 127b extends into the second clamping hole 1133 and is limited to move on the rear side of the panel support 11. The structure of the second limiting part and the second clamping hole 1133 is simple, which can reduce the processing difficulty and improve the cooperation reliability of the second plate part 12c and the panel support 11.

[0116] Moreover, by arranging the second limiting structure 127b to have the same structure as the first hook 1271 and the same limiting cooperation mode with the panel support 11, the upward movement of the front panel 12 relative to the panel support 11 to realize the limiting cooperation of the distal end limiting structure 127a2 and the proximal end limiting structure 127a1 can complete the limiting cooperation of the second limiting structure 127b, which reduces the operation difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown, Figure 5 the length direction of the front panel 12 is the up-down direction, as shown, Figure 10 the left and right side edges 12d of the front panel 12 are side edges 12d extending in the up-down direction, and the front surface of the panel support 11 is formed with side grooves 11a extending in the up-down direction at positions corresponding to each side edge 12d, and the side edge 12d is fitted into the corresponding side groove 11a.

[0120] By forming the recess 11b in the front panel 12 of the panel support 11 and fitting the whole-circumference profile edge of the front panel 12 in the recess 11b, the profile height difference between the profile edge of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 can be reduced at the upper and lower ends and the left and right ends, the gap between the profile edge of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 can be reduced, and the integrity of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved.

[0122] Through the fitting mode of moving upward from the bottom, the upper end of the front panel 12 is always lower than the upper end of the panel support 11, so that the scratching and abrasion of the upper decorative strip 13 by the front panel 12 during installation can be reduced, the interference of the upper decorative strip 13 by the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 during installation can be reduced, the assembly efficiency and assembly reliability can be improved, and the working stability of the upper decorative strip 13 can be improved.

[0124] The voice module 16 can be used for sound emission and / or sound collection. By assembling the voice module 16 on the upper decorative strip 13, the height of the upper decorative strip 13 is close to the height of the human head, the sound emission and / or sound collection effect of the voice module 16 arranged at the height on the upper decorative strip 13 is good. And by installing the voice module 16 on the upper decorative strip 13, without arranging a structure for installing the upper decorative strip 13 on the front panel 12 and the panel support 11, the machining of the front panel 12 or the panel support 11 can be simplified, the assembly of the front panel 12 and the panel support 11 is facilitated, and the manufacturing cost of the front panel 12 or the panel support 11 is reduced.
