[0031] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the duct panel 3 is a housing panel for installation on the outside of an air conditioner, the duct panel 3 has a joint mounting port 31 for mounting the duct joint 1 at a position close to the air outlet of the air conditioner, the opening profile of the joint mounting port 31 matches the outer profile of the duct joint 1, the installation gap between the two is controlled within the range of 0.2-3mm, the duct panel 3 has a mounting plate body 32 for mounting the duct joint 1, the mounting plate body 32 has an outer plate surface u facing the outside of the air conditioner and an inner plate surface v facing the inside of the air conditioner, and the duct joint 1 is installed on the outer plate surface u.
