[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This type of variable-shape air conditioner panel, during daily use, involves the operator placing the movable plate and vertical rod inside the hidden box, then sliding the movable plate. The outer surface of the vertical rod continuously presses against the outer surface of the fixed rod, causing the vertical rod to move the slider within the slot and onto the surface of the round rod. This compresses the mounting spring, causing the vertical rod to slide against the pressure plate, which in turn compresses the return spring until the fixed block and round shaft are below the horizontal rod. Simultaneously, rotating the movable plate and vertical rod causes the fixed block and round shaft to rotate until the round shaft is below the circular slot. Stopping the sliding of the movable plate allows the return spring to spring back, pushing the round shaft into the circular slot, thus enabling the installation of the top panel display. Conversely, it can be disassembled.

[0013] This type of variable-shape air conditioner panel allows the operator to slide the mounting plate during daily use. This slides the mounting plate, causing the locking block to slide as well. The locking block then engages with the slot, causing the mounting plate to slide the connecting rod. The connecting rod then moves the connecting magnet until the connecting rod and the connecting magnet are inside the storage slot. Simultaneously, the fixing magnet and the connecting magnet attract each other, connecting the mounting plate and the movable plate. This allows the shape of the panel display to be changed, thus adapting to preferences and home decoration styles. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a variable-shape air conditioner panel, including a hidden box 1, which is installed inside the air conditioner casing. A movable plate 2 is movably installed inside the hidden box 1. The outer surface of the movable plate 2 and the inner surface of the hidden box 1 are both smooth, allowing the movable plate 2 to slide more smoothly inside the hidden box 1. A strip-shaped groove 3 is formed around the bottom of the movable plate 2. A round rod 4 is fixedly installed inside each strip-shaped groove 3. A slider 5 is movably installed on the surface of each round rod 4. The outer surface of the round rod 4 and the inner surface of the slider 5 are both smooth, allowing the slider 5 to slide more smoothly on the surface of the round rod 4 and reducing the occurrence of jamming. A mounting spring 6 is fixedly installed on one side of each slider 5. The inner surface of the mounting spring 6 is movably connected to the outer surface of the round rod 4. When the slider 5 slides, it compresses the mounting spring 6, thus putting it in a compressed state. A vertical rod 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each slider 5. When the vertical rod 7 is compressed, it drives the slider 5 to move along the movable plate. The interior of the vertical rod 7 and the surface of the groove 3 slide. A fixing block 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical rod 7. A round shaft 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block 8. When the vertical rod 7 slides, it will drive the fixing block 8 to slide, which in turn will drive the round shaft 9 to slide. A fixing rod 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the interior of the hidden box 1. A horizontal rod 11 is fixedly installed around the interior of the hidden box 1. A round groove 12 is opened on the top of the horizontal rod 11. The round groove 12 is adapted to the round shaft 9. The inner surface of the round groove 12 and the outer surface of the round shaft 9 are rough, which can make the connection between the two tighter. A return spring 13 is fixedly installed around the bottom of the interior of the hidden box 1. A pressure plate 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the return spring 13. The outer surface of the pressure plate 14 is movably connected to the inner surface of the hidden box 1, and the inner surface of the pressure plate 14 is movably connected to the outer surface of the fixing rod 10. When the vertical rod 7 slides, it will drive the pressure plate 14 to slide inside the hidden box 1, which will squeeze and compress the return spring 13.

[0021] The top of the movable plate 2 has a storage slot 15, and a fixing magnet 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage slot 15. The fixing magnet 16 is compatible with the connecting magnet 21. When the two come into contact, they will attract each other, thereby connecting the mounting plate 18 to the movable plate 2. The top of the movable plate 2 has four slots 17 around it. The four slots 17 are the same size and are compatible with the locking blocks 19. The inner surface of the slots 17 and the outer surface of the locking blocks 19 are both rough, which can make the connection between the two tighter. The mounting plate 18 is movably installed inside the hidden box 1. A locking block 19 is fixedly installed around the bottom of the mounting plate 18. When the mounting plate 18 slides, it will cause the locking block 19 to slide until it is inside the slot 17. A panel display screen 22 is movably installed on the top of the mounting plate 18. Different shaped panel display screens 22 can be placed on the top of the mounting plate 18 according to preferences and home decoration styles. A connecting rod 20 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting plate 18, and a connecting magnet 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting rod 20. When the mounting plate 18 slides, it will cause the connecting rod 20 to slide, which in turn will cause the connecting magnet 21 to slide.

[0022] Working principle: The operator places the movable plate 2 and the vertical rod 7 inside the hidden box 1, and then slides the movable plate 2. The outer surface of the vertical rod 7 continuously presses against the outer surface of the fixed rod 10. The vertical rod 7 then drives the slider 5 to slide inside the strip groove 3 and on the surface of the round rod 4, thereby pressing and compressing the mounting spring 6. At this time, the vertical rod 7 slides against the pressure plate 14, which in turn presses and compresses the return spring 13 until the fixed block 8 and the round shaft 9 are below the horizontal rod 11. Simultaneously, the movable plate 2 and the vertical rod 7 are rotated, causing the vertical rod 7 to drive the fixed block 8 and the round shaft 9 to rotate until the round shaft 9 is below the round groove 12. Then, the sliding of the movable plate 2 is stopped, and the return spring 13 returns to its original position. The spring will push the round shaft 9 into the inside of the round groove 12, so that the panel display screen 22 on top can be installed. Conversely, it can be disassembled. Next, select the panel display screen 22 of the desired shape and place it on the top of the mounting plate 18. Slide the mounting plate 18, and the mounting plate 18 will drive the locking block 19 to slide. Then the locking block 19 will lock into the inside of the groove 17. At this time, the mounting plate 18 will drive the connecting rod 20 to slide, and the connecting rod 20 will drive the connecting magnet 21 to slide, until the connecting rod 20 and the connecting magnet 21 are inside the storage groove 15. At the same time, the fixing magnet 16 and the connecting magnet 21 will attract each other, so that the mounting plate 18 and the movable plate 2 can be connected, thereby changing the shape of the panel display screen 22.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
