[0024] The utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0025] In order to make the utility model's purpose, technical scheme and advantage more clearly, the following is in combination with the drawings and example, and the utility model is further described in detail. It should be understood that the specific example described here is only used to explain the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a kind of air conditioner display assembly.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-4 The air conditioner display assembly includes air conditioner shell 1 and display shell 2, and air conditioner shell 1 and display shell 2 are detachably connected.

[0028] Display shell 2 includes integrally-formed display hard shell 9 and flexible layer 4.

[0029] It also includes connecting piece, and connecting piece is used to detachably connect display shell 2 and air conditioner shell 1, and after display shell 2 and air conditioner shell 1 are assembled, flexible layer 4 is located between display hard shell 9 and air conditioner shell 1, and is interference fit with air conditioner shell 1.

[0030] The interference fit of flexible layer 4 with air conditioner shell 1 here refers to that, after display shell 2 and air conditioner shell 1 are assembled, flexible layer 4 is deformed, so as to improve sealing effect.

[0031] In the application, by configuring display shell 2 as integrally-formed display hard shell 9 and flexible layer 4, flexible layer 4 and air conditioner shell 1 are interference fit to realize sealing, so as to simplify assembly process and improve assembly efficiency;Connecting piece is also provided for connecting and assembling display hard shell 9 and air conditioner shell 1, and it is convenient to control the deformation amount of flexible layer 4.

[0032] In the embodiment, the area where flexible layer 4 contacts air conditioner shell 1 is closed curve. Thus, good sealing effect is provided, and the closure in the closed curve here should be ignored in practice based on local disconnection of line requirement.

[0033] In the embodiment, the side of the flexible layer 4 close to the air conditioner shell 1 is provided with a plurality of groups of flexible ribs 7, the flexible layer 4 is in interference fit with the air conditioner shell 1 through the flexible ribs 7, and the area where each group of the flexible ribs 7 contacts the air conditioner shell 1 is a closed curve. The interference fit is achieved through the flexible ribs 7, which is more convenient for adjusting the interference fit amount.

[0034] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in the embodiment, the flexible ribs 7 are arranged in two groups.

[0035] One end of the flexible rib 7 is connected to the flexible layer 4, and the end of the flexible rib 7 away from the flexible layer 4 is an inclined portion 8. The inclined portion 8 has a tendency to incline outwardly relative to the middle portion of the display shell 2. After the display shell 2 and the air conditioner shell 1 are assembled, the inclined portion 8 is deformed, so that the inclined portion 8 inclines outwardly relative to the middle portion of the display shell 2 more obviously.

[0036] As shown in Figure 6 , the inclined portion 8 has a tendency to incline outwardly relative to the middle portion of the display shell 2 in a natural state; and as shown in Figure 3 , after assembly, the inclined portion 8 is deformed under pressure, so that the inclined portion 8 inclines outwardly relative to the middle portion of the display shell 2 more obviously. In this way, it is easier to maintain the sealing effect during assembly. Specifically, the maximum distance of a point on the flexible rib 7 from the flexible layer 4 in the natural state of the inclined portion 8 is h, and the distance between the flexible layer 4 and the air conditioner shell 1 after assembly is t. h is controlled to be greater than t, thereby achieving good sealing effect.

[0037] In the embodiment, the connecting member is a screw. After the display shell 2 and the air conditioner shell 1 are assembled, the two opposite surfaces of the display shell 2 abut against the air conditioner shell 1 and the screw respectively, so as to control the deformation amount of the flexible layer 4.

[0038] The detachable connection mode includes various forms, such as buckles and screws. In the embodiment, the detachable connection is achieved through screw assembly, which is beneficial to ensure the distance between the flexible layer 4 and the air conditioner shell 1. Specifically, after assembly, the two opposite surfaces of the display shell 2 abut against the air conditioner shell 1 and the screw respectively, so as to ensure that the distance between the flexible layer 4 and the air conditioner shell 1 is t.

[0039] Further, the air conditioner shell 1 has a flat outer surface for assembling the display shell 2, and a plurality of protruding studs 6 on the outer surface for screw assembly. After the display shell 2 and the air conditioner shell 1 are assembled, the two opposite surfaces of the display shell 2 abut against the studs 6 and the screw respectively, so as to control the deformation amount of the flexible layer 4.

[0040] The above implementation is convenient for the processing and assembly of various components of the product.

[0041] In the embodiment, the flexible layer 4 is distributed in the edge area of the display shell 2, a circle of limiting protrusions 5 is arranged on the outer surface of the air conditioner shell 1, and the flexible layer 4 is distributed outside the limiting protrusions 5 relative to the middle part of the display shell 2 after the assembly of the air conditioner shell 1 and the display shell 2.

[0042] Through the arrangement of the limiting protrusions 5, the assembly of the air conditioner shell 1 and the display shell 2 can be guided and limited, and the flexible layer 4 and the flexible ribs 7 thereon can be ensured to be located in the appropriate position after the assembly.

[0043] In the embodiment, the display shell 2 has a plurality of assembly parts 3 for cooperating with the studs 6 and being assembled by screws, and the assembly parts 3 are distributed in the circumferential direction of the display hard shell 9 and extend outward relative to the middle part of the display shell 2.

[0044] The above embodiment is used to facilitate the machining and assembly process of various components of the product.

[0045] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
