For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 A panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a panel 1, a display assembly 2, and a semi-transparent film 3.

[0034] Specifically, panel 1 has a light-transmitting area, through which light can pass through panel 1, for example, from one side of panel 1 in the thickness direction to the other. Display assembly 2 is disposed on one side of panel 1 in the thickness direction and includes display panel assembly 21. A photosensitive device 2111 is provided on the side of display panel assembly 21 facing panel 1. The photosensitive device 2111 is opposite to the light-transmitting area and can detect the intensity of light passing through the light-transmitting area.

[0035] The display panel assembly 21 may be equipped with indicator lights. When the panel assembly 100 is used in an air conditioner, the display assembly 2 is located inside the panel 1 of the air conditioner. The indicator lights can indicate the air conditioner's temperature, operating mode (e.g., cooling or heating), and other information. The display panel assembly 21 can be connected to the air conditioner's control module. The brightness of the indicator lights can be controlled according to the intensity of light detected by the photosensitive device 2111. For example, during the day, when the photosensitive device 2111 detects strong light, the brightness of the indicator lights can be increased to facilitate user observation of the information indicated by the indicator lights. At night, when the photosensitive device 2111 detects weak light, the brightness of the indicator lights can be reduced or turned off to avoid disturbing the user's sleep.

[0036] In related technologies, if light shines perpendicularly on the photosensitive device, the photosensitive device is completely exposed to the light and its parameters are relatively large. However, if light shines on the photosensitive device at other angles, the panel provides some light blocking, resulting in smaller parameters for the photosensitive device, making it difficult to obtain an average value.

[0037] A semi-transparent film 3 is disposed in the light-transmitting area of ​​the panel 1 or on the side of the panel 1 facing the display component 2 and opposite to the light-transmitting area. The semi-transparent film 3 has a light-uniforming function, which reduces the light intensity difference entering the photosensitive device 2111 from various angles, makes the photosensitive parameters easier to set, enhances the reliability of the photosensitive function, and allows the user to use the photosensitive function normally in multiple lighting scenarios, reducing the possibility of photosensitive failure and ensuring the normal use of the photosensitive function.

[0038] According to the panel assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting a semi-transparent film 3 in the light-transmitting area of ​​the panel 1 or at a position opposite to the light-transmitting area on the side of the panel 1 facing the display assembly 2, the light intensity difference entering the photosensitive device 2111 from various angles is reduced, the photosensitive parameters are easy to set, the reliability of the photosensitive function is enhanced, the photosensitive function can be used normally in multiple lighting scenarios, the possibility of photosensitive failure is reduced, and the normal use of the photosensitive function is guaranteed.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the display panel assembly 21 includes a display panel 211, a display cavity 212, and a cavity diaphragm 213. A photosensitive device 2111 is disposed on the display panel 211, and the display cavity 212 is disposed on the side of the display panel 211 facing the panel 1. The display cavity 212 has a clearance hole 2121 disposed opposite to the photosensitive device 2111. Light passing through the panel 1 can pass through the clearance hole 2121 and be received by the photosensitive device 2111. The clearance hole 2121 can prevent the display cavity 212 from blocking the transmission of light.

[0040] The display cavity 212 may be provided with a contour structure for displaying information. This contour structure is positioned opposite to the indicator light, and the light emitted by the indicator light can be emitted through the contour structure to display the corresponding pattern. For example, when displaying temperature, the contour can be the shape of a number, and different numbers can be displayed by controlling the on / off state of the indicator lights on the edge of the contour.

[0041] A cavity diaphragm 213 is attached to the side of the display cavity 212 facing away from the display panel 211. For example, the cavity diaphragm 213 can be bonded to the display cavity 212. The cavity diaphragm 213 makes the light emitted by the indicator light more uniform when emitted, enhancing the display effect. In addition, the cavity diaphragm 213 has a cutout area 2131 opposite to the avoidance hole 2121. The cutout area 2131 can prevent the cavity diaphragm 213 from affecting the light received by the photosensitive device 2111. A semi-transparent film 3 is attached to the side of the display cavity 212 facing away from the display panel 211 and located in the cutout area 2131. This facilitates the setting of the semi-transparent film 3 and ensures the uniform light distribution effect of the semi-transparent film 3.

[0042] Furthermore, the semi-transparent film 3 and the cavity film 213 are integrated. Therefore, when manufacturing the panel assembly 100, the cavity film 213 and the semi-transparent film 3 can be simultaneously attached to the side of the display cavity 212 away from the display panel 211 without having to perform two separate operations, thus improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0043] Optionally, the display cavity 212 and the display panel 211 are snap-fitted together.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a baffle plate 2122 extending towards the display panel 211 is provided on the peripheral wall of the clearance hole 2121. The baffle plate 2122 is arranged around the photosensitive device 2111, and one end of its axial direction abuts against the display panel 2111. This allows the photosensitive device 2111 to be spaced apart from other light-emitting components such as indicator lights on the display panel 211, avoiding the influence of other light-emitting components on the display panel 211 on the photosensitive device 2111, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection by the photosensitive device 2111.

[0045] Furthermore, a seal is provided between the axial end of the shield 2122 facing the display panel 211 and the display panel 211. The seal can be a dark-colored seal, such as a black seal, which can further prevent light from other light-emitting components on the display panel 211 from passing through the gap between the shield 2122 and the display panel 211 and being received by the photosensitive device 2111, thus ensuring the accuracy of the detection by the photosensitive device 2111.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, a semi-transparent film 3 is attached to the side of the panel 1 facing the display component 2 or the side away from the display component 2. The semi-transparent film 3 can be attached to the light-transmitting area of ​​the panel 1 to uniformly distribute the light passing through the panel 1, ensuring the normal operation of the photosensitive function.

[0047] Of course, this utility model is not limited to this. In the light-transmitting area, a semi-transparent film 3 can be provided on the side of the panel 1 facing the display component 2 or the side away from the display component 2 to improve the uniformity of light.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the panel 1 includes a panel body 11 and a light-shielding layer 12. At least a portion of the panel body 11 is a transparent area, and the light-shielding layer 12 covers the side of the transparent area opposite to the display component 2. The light-shielding layer 12 has a light-entry hole, and the light-entry hole and the area on the panel body 11 opposite to the light-entry hole form a light-transmitting area. Optionally, the light-shielding layer 12 can be a sprayed coating or a film coating.

[0049] It is understood that at least a portion of the panel 1 is a spray-coated panel 1 or a laminated panel 1. When the light-shielding layer 12 is a spray-coated layer, the spray-coated layer is sprayed onto the side of the transparent area of ​​the panel body 11 away from the display component 2 by a spraying process. When the light-shielding layer 12 is a laminated layer, the laminated layer can be pasted onto the side of the transparent area of ​​the panel body 11 away from the display component 2.

[0050] In a specific example of this utility model, the light-shielding layer 12 is a coating layer, and the semi-transparent film 3 is attached to the side of the panel body 11 opposite to the display component 2. The semi-transparent film 3 is disposed inside the light-entry hole, and the semi-transparent film 3 and the coating layer are integral components. Therefore, when manufacturing the panel component 100, the coating layer and the semi-transparent film 3 can be attached to the side of the panel body 11 opposite to the display component 2 at the same time, without the need for two separate operations, thus improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0051] In addition, when the semi-transparent film 3 is disposed on the side of the panel body 11 facing the display component 2 or attached to the display cavity 212, the light-entry holes on the light-shielding layer 12 may include multiple sub-holes arranged in an array.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the panel body 11 includes a main panel 111 and a sub-panel 112. The main panel 111 is a non-transparent component and has mounting holes 1111. The sub-panel 112 is a transparent component and is disposed within the mounting holes 1111. The sub-panel 112 and the main panel 111 are separate components, and the sub-panel 112 forms a transparent area of ​​the panel body 11. The display component 2 is opposite to the sub-panel 112, and a light-shielding layer 12 is disposed on the side of the sub-panel 112 facing away from the display component 2. Therefore, only the sub-panel 112 area can be configured as a spray-coated panel 1 or a film-coated panel 1, which simplifies the processing technology of the panel component 100 and improves production efficiency.

[0053] Optionally, the sub-panel 112 and the main panel 111 can be snap-fitted together.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display assembly 2 also includes a display box 22, which is located on one side of the panel 1 in the thickness direction and connected to the panel 1. The display panel assembly 21 is located between the display box 22 and the panel 1. The display box 22 and the panel 1 can be snapped together, and the display panel assembly 21 and the display box 22 can be snapped together. Specifically, the display panel 211 and the display box 22 are snapped together. The display box 22 can fix the display panel assembly 21 to one side of the panel 1 in the thickness direction, improving the reliability of fixing the display panel assembly 21.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, the display component 2 is located at one end of the panel 1 along its length. A pivot arm 221 is provided on the side of the display box 22 opposite to the panel 1, for rotatably connecting with a structure such as the frame of an air conditioner to which the panel component 100 is mounted, thereby enabling the panel component 100 to be opened and closed. When the panel component 100 is used in an air conditioner, the internal filter of the air conditioner can be cleaned when the panel component 100 is open. Furthermore, the pivot arm 221 located on the display box 22 reduces the length of the panel component 100, which is beneficial for reducing the length and volume of the air conditioner.
