[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model more clear and obvious, the following will be combined with the drawing to the embodiment of the utility model detailed description.It needs to be explained that, in the case of not conflict, the embodiment in this application and the feature in the embodiment can be combined each other.

[0046] Embodiment one

[0047] As Figures 1-4 Shown, Figures 1-4 The air conditioner 100 in the embodiment one of the application is shown.The air conditioner 100 includes face frame 1 and panel 2.Face frame 1 is the framework structure of air conditioner 100, and panel 2 is rotationally connected to face frame 1.Face frame 1 can be structured as frame structure.The top of face frame 1 is provided with main air inlet 11.Main air inlet 11 is used to inhale indoor air.

[0048] As Figures 5-7As shown, the panel 2 is arranged at the front side of the face frame 1 and covers the front side of the face frame 1. The panel 2 comprises a plate body 21 and a first reinforcing rib 23. The plate body 21 is configured as a substantially rectangular plate. The plate body 21 is arranged vertically. The top end of the plate body 21 is bent towards the main air inlet 11 of the face frame 1. The top end of the plate body 21 is provided with a secondary air inlet 22 which vertically penetrates the plate body 21. The secondary air inlet 22 on the panel 2 is close to the main air inlet 11 of the face frame 1. The secondary air inlet 22 on the panel 2 can be a strip-shaped opening extending in the horizontal direction. The first reinforcing rib 23 can be configured as a strip-shaped protrusion. The first reinforcing rib 23 is located at the top end of the plate body 21 and close to the region of the secondary air inlet. The first reinforcing rib 23 is connected to the plate body 21. The first reinforcing rib 23 can improve the structural strength of the region of the plate body 21 close to the secondary air inlet 22.

[0049] In this way, since the top end of the panel 2 is provided with the secondary air inlet 22, the secondary air inlet 22 on the panel 2 and the main air inlet 11 on the face frame 1 can simultaneously suck indoor air, thereby improving the total air inlet area of the air conditioner 100 and ensuring that the air inlet amount of the air conditioner 100 will not become smaller. Meanwhile, since the panel 2 is provided with the first reinforcing rib 23 which is close to the secondary air inlet 22, the structural strength of the top end of the panel 2 is improved, which can compensate for the weakened structural strength due to the opening of the secondary air inlet 22, so that the panel 2 is not easily deformed and cracked, and damage to the air inlet side of the panel 2 when being stepped on or falling is prevented.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the secondary air inlet 22 of the plate body 21 is provided with a grid 20. The grid 20 is connected to the plate body 21. The grid 20 can be in a mesh shape. The grid 20 divides the secondary air inlet 22 into a plurality of mesh holes 221, and the cross section of the mesh hole 221 can be rectangular. In this embodiment, the plurality of mesh holes 221 are arranged in sequence along the top edge of the plate body 21.

[0051] In this way, since the secondary air inlet 22 of the plate body 21 is provided with the grid 20 which is connected to the plate body 21, the grid 20 can improve the structural strength of the plate body 21 at the secondary air inlet 22, thereby further reducing the risk of deformation and cracking of the plate body 21. Meanwhile, the grid 20 can also play a certain protective role to avoid larger foreign matters from entering the air conditioner 100 through the secondary air inlet 22.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of mesh holes 221 are arranged in sequence along the top edge of the plate body 21. A plurality of first reinforcing ribs 23 are provided, and the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 23 are all arranged on the grid 20 and respectively surround the plurality of mesh holes 221. The number of the first reinforcing ribs 23 can be the same as the number of the mesh holes 221, and the first reinforcing ribs 23 are arranged one by one with the mesh holes 221, and the first reinforcing rib 23 surrounds the mesh hole 221 corresponding thereto.

[0053] In this way, the first reinforcing rib 23 is arranged on the grid 20 to improve the structural strength of the grid 20, thereby further improving the structural strength of the panel 2 in the area near the auxiliary air inlet 22 by improving the structural strength of the grid 20, and preventing the panel 2 from being deformed.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the plate body 21 includes a side plate 211 and a top plate 212. The side plate 211 is a rectangular plate structure. The side plate 211 is arranged vertically. The top plate 212 is arranged at the top end of the side plate 211, and the top plate 212 is bent towards one side of the side plate 211. The side plate 211 can be bent towards the side of the top plate 212 close to the frame 1. The grid 20 and the auxiliary air inlet 22 are arranged on the top plate 212. The auxiliary air inlet 22 and the grid 20 can be arranged on the side of the top plate 212 away from the side plate 211.

[0055] The first reinforcing rib 23 includes a first rib 231 and a second rib 232. The first rib 231 can be configured as a straight bar and extends horizontally on the grid 20. The first rib 231 is arranged on the side of the mesh hole 221 away from the side plate 211. Two second ribs 232 are arranged, one second rib 232 extends from one end of the first rib 231 to the side plate 211, and the other second rib 232 extends from the other end of the first rib 231 to the side plate 211. The extension direction of the first rib 231 and the extension direction of the second rib 232 are perpendicular.

[0056] In this way, the first reinforcing rib 23 is configured as a U-shaped structure, and the first reinforcing rib 23 is further connected to the side plate 211, which can further improve the structural strength of the panel 2.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the panel 2 includes a plurality of support ribs 25. The second rib 232 is arranged one-to-one corresponding to the support rib 25. One end of the support rib 25 is connected to the side of the corresponding second rib 232 away from the grid 20, and the other end of the support rib 25 is connected to the side plate 211. The support rib 25 can be connected to the end of the second rib 232 close to the side plate 211. The width of the support rib 25 can be 0.8 mm.

[0058] The two ends of the support rib 25 are respectively connected to the side plate 211 and the second rib 232, which can improve the connection strength between the side plate 211 and the grid 20, reduce the deformation between the side plate 211 and the second rib 232, and prevent the panel 2 from shrinking and deforming.

[0059] In one illustrative embodiment, a plurality of first ribs 231 are flush with each other. The plurality of first ribs 231 may be arranged sequentially along the same straight line and all extend along that line. The side of each plurality of first ribs 231 facing away from the second rib 232 abuts against the front frame 1 of the air conditioner 100. The plurality of first ribs 231 serve as support points for the panel 2 and the front frame 1. The first reinforcing ribs 23 not only strengthen the structural strength of the panel 2 but also support the panel 2.

[0060] Panel 2 also includes a support plate 24. The support plate 24 and the first rib 231 are disposed on the same side of the grille 20. The support plate 24 is flush with the first rib 231. The surface of the support plate 24 is parallel to the extending direction of the first rib 231. Multiple support plates 24 may be provided, for example, five. The height of the support plate 24 protruding from the grille 20 is greater than the height of the first rib 231 protruding from the grille 20. The side of the support plate 24 facing away from the mesh 221 abuts against the face frame 1 of the air conditioner 100.

[0061] When panel 2 is stepped on, panel 2 will undergo significant deformation. This deformation will cause the first rib 231 to be unable to continue supporting the frame 1. Since the height of the support plate 24 protruding from the grille 20 is greater than the height of the first rib 231 protruding from the grille 20, the support plate 24 can still support the frame 1 when panel 2 undergoes significant deformation, preventing panel 2 from deforming and misaligning with the frame 1, causing the main air inlet 11 and the secondary air inlet 22 to overlap, thereby damaging the air conditioner 100.

[0062] In one illustrative embodiment, the support plate 24 connects two adjacent first ribs 231. The support plate 24 may be disposed between two adjacent first ribs 231 and connected to these two first ribs 231 and the grid 20.

[0063] In this way, the support plate 24 connects the two first ribs 231, further enhancing the structural strength of the panel 2.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] like Figures 8-10 As shown, Figures 8-10 The structure of another air conditioner 100a according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The air conditioner 100a includes a frame 1a and a panel 2a. The frame 1a is the skeleton structure of the air conditioner 100a, and the panel 2a is rotatably connected to the frame 1a. The frame 1a can be constructed as a frame structure. A main air inlet 11a is provided at the top of the frame 1a. The main air inlet 11a is used to draw in indoor air.

[0066] like Figures 11-13As shown, the panel 2a is arranged on the front side of the face frame 1a and covers the front side of the face frame 1a. The panel 2a comprises a plate body 21a and a first reinforcing rib 23a. The plate body 21a is configured as a substantially rectangular plate. The plate body 21a is arranged vertically. The top end of the plate body 21a is bent towards the main air inlet 11a of the face frame 1a. The top end of the plate body 21a is provided with a secondary air inlet 22a. The secondary air inlet 22a is configured as a strip-shaped gap, and the extending direction of the secondary air inlet 22a is the same as the extending direction of the top edge of the plate body 21a. The first reinforcing rib 23a is arranged on the plate body 21a and located below the secondary air inlet 22a. The extending direction of the first reinforcing rib 23a is the same as the extending direction of the secondary air inlet 22a of the plate body 21a. In this embodiment, the panel 2a further comprises two connecting arms 20a. One end of the connecting arm 20a is fixedly connected to the plate surface of the plate body 21a towards the face frame 1a. The connecting arm 20a can be connected to the top end of the plate body 21a. The connecting arm 20a and the plate body 21a can be integrally formed. The end of the connecting arm 20a away from the plate body 21a is provided with a rotating shaft arranged horizontally, and the connecting arm 20a is rotatably connected to the front side of the top of the face frame 1a through the rotating shaft. The panel 2a as a whole can rotate around the rotating shaft. The panel 2a can be rotated to a closed position covering the face frame 1a, or to an open position away from the face frame 1a. The two connecting arms 20a are respectively located near the opposite ends of the secondary air inlet 22a. The first reinforcing rib 23a extends from one connecting arm 20a along the plate surface of the plate body 21a to the other connecting arm 20a.

[0067] In this way, since the top end of the panel 2a is provided with the secondary air inlet 22a, the secondary air inlet 22a on the panel 2a and the main air inlet 11a on the face frame 1a can simultaneously suck indoor air, thereby increasing the total air inlet area of the air conditioner 100a and ensuring that the air inlet amount of the air conditioner 100a will not decrease. At the same time, the secondary air inlet 22a is a gap without obstruction, and the air inlet amount is larger. Since the panel 2a is provided with the first reinforcing rib 23a, and the first reinforcing rib 23a is located near the secondary air inlet 22a and extends along the secondary air inlet 22a, the structural strength of the top end of the panel 2a is improved, which can compensate for the weakened structural strength due to the secondary air inlet 22a, so that the panel 2a is not easily deformed or cracked, and the air inlet side of the panel 2a is prevented from being damaged when stepped on or fallen.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 23a comprises a first strip plate 231a and a second strip plate 232a. The first strip plate 231a and the second strip plate 232a are both configured as a strip plate structure. One side of the first strip plate 231a is connected to the plate body 21a, and the plate face of the first strip plate 231a can be perpendicular to the plate face of the plate body 21a. The first strip plate 231a extends along the plate body 21a, and the extending direction of the first strip plate 231a is the same as the extending direction of the auxiliary air inlet 22a. The two ends of the first strip plate 231a are respectively connected to the two connecting arms 20a. One side of the second strip plate 232a is connected to the side of the first strip plate 231a away from the plate body 21a. The extending direction of the second strip plate 232a is the same as the extending direction of the first strip plate 231a. The opposite ends of the second strip plate 232a are respectively connected to the two connecting arms 20a. The plate face of the first strip plate 231a is perpendicular to the plate face of the second strip plate 232a. In this way, the cross section of the first reinforcing rib 23a is in the shape of the Chinese character "7".

[0069] The first strip plate 231a can resist the bending moment perpendicular to the plate face direction thereof, and the second strip plate 232a can resist the bending moment perpendicular to the plate face thereof. Since the plate face of the first strip plate 231a is perpendicular to the plate face of the second strip plate 232a, and the first strip plate 231a and the second strip plate 232a are connected to each other, the first reinforcing rib 23a can resist the bending moment in various directions, and the structural strength is greatly improved, further improving the structural strength of the panel 2a.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 23a further comprises a plurality of first reinforcing plates 233a. The first reinforcing plates 233a can be configured as flat plates. The plurality of first reinforcing plates 233a are all arranged between the second strip plate 232a and the plate body 21a. The plate face of the first reinforcing plate 233a is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first strip plate 231a. The plurality of first reinforcing plates 233a can be arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the extending direction of the second strip plate 232a. Three edges of the first reinforcing plate 233a are respectively connected to the first strip plate 231a, the second strip plate 232a, and the plate body 21a.

[0071] In this way, the first reinforcing plate 233a can connect the first strip plate 231a, the second strip plate 232a, and the plate body 21a together, making the connection between the first strip plate 231a, the second strip plate 232a, and the plate body 21a more compact, and at the same time improving the structural strength of the first reinforcing rib 23a and the plate body 21a, thereby further increasing the structural strength of the panel 2a.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the panel 2a further comprises two second reinforcing ribs 24a. Each second reinforcing rib 24a extends along the plate face of the plate body 21a from the top end of the plate body 21a to the bottom end of the plate body 21a. The two second reinforcing ribs 24a are respectively located on the opposite sides of the plate body 21a.

[0073] The two second reinforcing ribs 24a are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the plate body 21a, which can further improve the structural strength of the opposite sides of the plate body 21a and further reduce the risk of damage to the panel 2a caused by external force.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the second reinforcing rib 24a comprises a third strip-shaped plate 242a and a fourth strip-shaped plate 241a. The third strip-shaped plate 242a and the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a are both configured as a strip-shaped plate structure. One side of the third strip-shaped plate 242a is connected to the plate body 21a, and the plate surface of the third strip-shaped plate 242a can be perpendicular to the plate surface of the plate body 21a. The third strip-shaped plate 242a extends along the plate body 21a and extends from the top end of the plate body 21a to the bottom end of the plate body 21a. One side of the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a is connected to the side of the third strip-shaped plate 242a away from the plate body 21a. The extending direction of the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a is the same as that of the third strip-shaped plate 242a. The fourth strip-shaped plate 241a extends from the top end of the plate body 21a to the bottom end of the plate body 21a. The plate surface of the third strip-shaped plate 242a is perpendicular to the plate surface of the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a. In this way, the cross section of the second reinforcing rib 24a is in the shape of the Chinese character "7".

[0075] The third strip-shaped plate 242a can resist the bending moment perpendicular to the direction of its plate surface, and the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a can resist the bending moment perpendicular to its plate surface. Since the plate surface of the third strip-shaped plate 242a is perpendicular to the plate surface of the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a, and the third strip-shaped plate 242a and the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a are connected to each other, the second reinforcing rib 24a can resist bending moments in various directions, has extremely high structural strength, and further improves the structural strength of the panel 2a.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the second reinforcing rib 24a further comprises a plurality of second reinforcing plates 243a, which can be configured as flat plates. The plurality of second reinforcing plates 243a are all arranged between the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a and the plate body 21a. The plate surface of the second reinforcing plate 243a is perpendicular to the extending direction of the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a. The plurality of second reinforcing plates 243a can be arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the extending direction of the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a. Three edges of the second reinforcing plate 243a are respectively connected to the third strip-shaped plate 242a, the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a, and the plate body 21a.

[0077] In this way, the second reinforcing plate 243a can connect the third strip-shaped plate 242a, the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a, and the plate body 21a together, making the connection between the third strip-shaped plate 242a, the fourth strip-shaped plate 241a, and the plate body 21a more compact, while improving the structural strength of the second reinforcing rib 24a and the plate body 21a, thereby further increasing the structural strength of the panel 2a.
