Detailed Implementation

[0041] The principles and features of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides an integrated side panel 100 for a panel device 200 of an embedded air conditioner. Taking an embedded air conditioner installed within a ceiling 400 as an example (e.g., a ducted air conditioner), the panel device 200 is located on the lower side of the unit 300, and the projected area of ​​the panel device 200 on the horizontal plane is larger than the projected area of ​​the unit 300 on the horizontal plane. The panel device 200 includes a main body 21, a first side panel 102, and a second side panel 104 (e.g., a ducted air conditioner). Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the first side plate 102 and the second side plate 104 can be located on both sides of the length direction (e.g., left-right direction) of the main body 21 to reinforce both ends of the main body 21 in the length direction. The main body 21 may include an air outlet frame 23 and a return air frame assembly 24 connected to the air outlet frame 23. The air outlet frame 23 is provided with an air outlet, and the return air frame assembly 24 includes a return air frame 241 and a return air grille 242. The air outlet frame 23 and the return air frame assembly 24 are arranged along the width direction (e.g., front-back direction) of the main body 21. At least one of the first side plate 102 and the second side plate 104 is provided with the integrated side plate 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The integrated side plate 100 is connected to the air outlet frame 23 and the return air frame assembly 24.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the integrated side panel 100 includes: a side panel body 11 and at least one functional plate integrally formed with the side panel body 11. The side panel body 11 and the functional plate can be an injection-molded integral structure, which has low production cost and light weight. Alternatively, the side panel body 11 and the functional plate can also be an integral structure produced by processes such as casting or 3D printing.

[0044] The side panel body 11 is provided with a first fixing structure, which is configured to be fixedly connected to the main body 21 of the panel device 200. Therefore, the side panel body 11 can be fixedly connected to the main body 21 of the panel device 200 through the first fixing structure, thereby reinforcing the main body 21 of the panel device 200.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the functional panel is located on the side of the side panel body 11 near the body 300 of the embedded air conditioner in the thickness direction, and extends in the direction close to the body 300. At least one of the functional panel includes at least one of the rodent-proof panel 12 and the first fixing panel 13.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the rodent-proof plate 12 is configured to cover the wiring space 161 between the side panel body 11 and the main body 300 to prevent rats from entering the wiring space 161 and chewing the wires. There is generally also a gap between the bottom of the main body 300 and the main body 21 of the panel device 200 for wiring. The wiring space 161 between the side panel body 11 and the main body 300 is connected to the aforementioned gap for wiring. The rodent-proof plate 12 can extend to abut against the side wall and / or the bottom wall of the main body 300 to cover the wiring space 161 between the side panel body 11 and the main body 300. Thus, the wiring space 161 between the side panel body 11 and the main body 300, as well as the wiring gap between the main body 300 and the main body 21, are blocked, effectively preventing rats from entering and chewing the wires.

[0047] The first fixing plate 13 is provided with a second fixing structure for fixing to the body 300, thereby realizing the function of connecting the panel device 200 and the body 300.

[0048] The integrated side panel 100 provided in this application embodiment integrally forms the side panel body 11 and at least one functional board, integrating the functions of the side panel body 11 and at least one functional board in related technologies, thereby reducing the number of parts and eliminating the assembly process between the side panel and the functional board. Therefore, it is beneficial to simplify the assembly process of embedded air conditioners and improve the production efficiency on the assembly line.

[0049] The number of functional panels can be one, which can be either a rodent-proof panel 12 or a first fixing panel 13. Alternatively, there can be two functional panels, namely a rodent-proof panel 12 and a first fixing panel 13. Or, there can be three or more functional panels, including at least a rodent-proof panel 12 and a first fixing panel 13.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the functional panel near the body 300 (i.e., the upper panel) is provided with reinforcing ribs 134. These reinforcing ribs 134 can be arranged in a crisscrossing grid pattern to improve the structural strength of the functional panel. Reinforcing ribs 134 can also be provided on one or both sides of the side panel body 11, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing ribs 134 can also be configured as a grid with interlaced horizontal and vertical lines to improve the structural strength of the side plate body 11.

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, the first fixing structure includes at least one fixing hole 111 for mounting a fastener, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this allows for the connection of the side panel body 11 and the main body 21 of the panel device 200 via fasteners, resulting in high connection strength and reliable fixation.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing structure includes six fixing holes 111, five of which are used to fix the air outlet frame 23 with screws, and the other is used to fix the air return frame assembly 24 with screws.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second fixing structure includes a connecting plate 131, which is located at the end of the first fixing plate 13 away from the side plate body 11. The connecting plate 131 is provided with connecting holes 1311 for mounting fasteners (such as screws) to connect the body 300 via fasteners.

[0054] Among them, the connecting hole 1311 can be an oblong hole, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fasteners can be moved according to the holes in the body 300 during the connection process, facilitating quick alignment with the holes in the body 300. The connecting plate 131 can be located on the lower side of the body 300 and fixed to the bottom wall of the body 300 with screws. Side plates 133 can be provided around the first fixing plate 13, and the side plates 133 and the connecting plate 131 form a supporting step, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this allows the side plate 133 to abut against the side wall of the fuselage 300, achieving pre-positioning.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting buckle 132 is provided at the end of the connecting plate 131 away from the side plate body 11. The limiting buckle 132 is configured to engage with the limiting groove 231 of the main body 21 (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown) a snap-fit ​​connection is used to pre-position the integrated side panel 100 with the main body 21. This improves the assembly efficiency between the integrated side panel 100 and the main body 21 of the panel device 200, thereby improving production efficiency on the assembly line.

[0056] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, there can be two limiting buckles 132, located at both ends of the length of the connecting plate 131. The limiting buckles 132 can be L-shaped buckles, and the limiting groove 231 can also be L-shaped grooves, so that the L-shaped buckles can be inserted into the limiting groove 231 along the L-shaped trajectory, and the horizontal part of the L-shaped buckle abuts against the top wall of the limiting groove 231 to achieve limiting.

[0057] Of course, the number of limiting buckles 132 is not limited to two; it can also be one, three, or more. The shape of the limiting buckles 132 is also not limited to the above-described scheme.

[0058] In some exemplary embodiments, the main body 21 of the panel device 200 is provided with an air outlet, and an air guide plate 28 is provided inside the air outlet, such as... Figure 9As shown. The air guide plate 28 can rotate under the drive of the air guide plate motor 22 to adjust the air outlet direction.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at least one functional panel includes a first fixing plate 13. The side panel body 11 is provided with a mounting notch 112, as... Figure 3 As shown, the integrated side panel 100 also includes a second fixing plate 14 integrally formed with the side panel body 11. The second fixing plate 14 is located on the side of the side panel body 11 closer to the fuselage 300 in the thickness direction, and on the side of the first fixing plate 13 away from the fuselage 300 in the thickness direction (i.e., the lower side), and together with the first fixing plate 13 and the side panel body 11, forms a mounting groove 143 that communicates with the mounting notch 112, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, mounting slot 143 is configured to mount the air guide plate motor 22.

[0060] Therefore, the air guide plate motor 22 can be installed into the mounting slot 143 through the mounting notch 112 and connected to the air guide plate 28 to drive the air guide plate 28 to rotate. Thus, the integrated side plate 100 also integrates the function of mounting the air guide plate motor 22, further improving the integration of the integrated side plate 100, which is conducive to reducing the number of parts, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing product costs.

[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second fixing plate 14 is provided with at least one of a positioning part 1422, a fixing part 1421, and a clearance hole 144. The second fixing plate 14 is located below the first fixing plate 13. The second fixing plate 14 may include a side panel 141 and an end plate 142. The side panel 141 and the first fixing plate 13 enclose a mounting groove 143 with openings at both ends. The end plate 142 covers the end of the mounting groove 143 away from the mounting notch 112. The positioning part 1422, the fixing part 1421, and the clearance hole 144 are all provided on the end plate 142.

[0062] The positioning part 1422 is configured to cooperate with the positioning part 222 of the air guide plate motor 22 (e.g. Figure 8 The positioning part 1422 can be, but is not limited to, a positioning hole, a positioning post, etc., to cooperate with the integrated side plate 100 to pre-position the air guide motor 22 and the integrated side plate 100, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the air guide motor and the integrated side plate 100. Correspondingly, the positioning mating part 222 can be, but is not limited to, a positioning hole (such as...). Figure 8 (As shown), positioning posts and other structures. The positioning posts are inserted into the positioning holes to achieve pre-positioning of the air guide plate motor 22 and the integrated side plate 100.

[0063] The fixing part 1421 is configured to be fixedly fitted with the air guide plate motor 22 (e.g., Figure 8The mounting portion 1421 can be, but is not limited to, a mounting hole 111, a connecting post, or other structures, in conjunction with the mounting portion 221, to fix the air guide plate motor 22 to the integrated side plate 100. Correspondingly, the mounting portion 221 can be, but is not limited to, a connecting post, a mounting hole (such as...). Figure 8 (as shown in the figure) and other structures. Fasteners are inserted through the fixing holes 111 and connected to the connecting posts to achieve a fixed connection between the air guide plate motor 22 and the second fixing plate 14.

[0064] The clearance hole 144 is configured to allow the output shaft 223 of the air guide motor 22 to pass through and partially extend out of the mounting groove 143, such as Figure 2 As shown.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second fixing plate 14 is provided with a clearance hole 144, two positioning posts and two connecting posts, and the air guide plate motor 22 is provided with two positioning holes and two fixing holes, as shown. Figure 8 As shown. Two positioning posts are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes, and two connecting posts are aligned with the two fixing holes. The air guide motor 22 is fixed to the integrated side plate 100 by two screws.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, at least one functional board includes a first fixing plate 13 and a rodent-proof plate 12. The first fixing plate 13 and the rodent-proof plate 12 are spaced apart along the length of the side panel body 11, so that a wiring space 162 connected to the wiring space 161 is formed between the first fixing plate 13 and the rodent-proof plate 12 to facilitate wiring. For example, this allows the wires of the air guide plate motor 22 to pass through the wiring space 162, enter the wiring space 161 between the side panel body 11 and the main body 300, and then enter the wiring interval between the main body 300 and the main body 21 of the panel device 200, and connect to the electrical control box 26 on the other side.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the wiring space 162 is provided with a wiring structure 1621 integrally formed with the side plate body 11, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the wiring structure 1621 may include, but is not limited to, wiring clips, winding posts, and other structures to facilitate fixing the wire.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, the side panel body 11 is integrally formed with a pre-installed structure, which is configured to install a pre-positioning component. The pre-positioning component is configured to cooperate with the body 300 of the embedded air conditioner so that the panel device 200 is pre-positioned with the body 300, such as... Figure 1 As shown. This facilitates the subsequent alignment of the holes between the first fixing plate 13 and the body 300, and also avoids the operator holding the panel device 200 by hand, thereby improving the assembly efficiency between the panel device 200 and the body 300.

[0069] Therefore, the integrated side plate 100 also integrates the functions of the pre-installed structure of the fuselage 300, further improving the integration degree of the integrated side plate 100, which is beneficial to reducing the number of components, improving the assembly efficiency, and reducing the product cost.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the pre-installed structure includes a first protrusion 171 and a second protrusion 172 that are spaced along the length direction of the side plate body 11. As Figure 4 shown, both the first protrusion 171 and the second protrusion 172 are provided with shaft holes 173, and the shaft holes 173 are configured to install the rotating shafts 181 at both ends of the pre-positioning member configured as a hook 18. As Figure 4 shown.

[0071] In other words, the pre-positioning member is configured as a hook 18, such as a "U-shaped" hook 18. As Figure 4 shown, rotating shafts 181 are provided at both ends, and the rotating shafts 181 are rotatably inserted into the shaft holes 173 of the first protrusion 171 and the second protrusion 172, and can thus rotate relative to the side plate body 11. Corresponding ear hooks 302 are provided on the fuselage 300. During the installation process, the hook 18 can be first hung on the ear hook 302 to pre-position the panel device 200 and the fuselage 300, and subsequent screw fixation can be carried out conveniently and labor-savingly.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, the integrated side plate 100 further includes a flange 15 integrally formed with the side plate body 11. As Figure 3 shown. The flange 15 is provided at one end (i.e., the lower end) of the side plate body 11 in the width direction away from the fuselage 300, and the flange 15 is provided with a deformation shrinkage hole 151. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown.

[0073] During the installation process, the fuselage 300 of the embedded air conditioner is located above the ceiling 400, and the upper part of the panel device 200 also passes through the opening in the ceiling 400 and is inserted above the ceiling 400 and connected to the fuselage 300. There is a ring of convex edge (equivalent to a flange) at the bottom of the panel device 200, which is located on the lower side of the ceiling 400 to block the opening in the ceiling 400. The flange of the integrated side plate 100 is a part of this ring of convex edge.

[0074] However, due to the relatively large size of the panel device 200, local deformation or unevenness may occur during installation, causing the bottom protrusion of the panel device 200 to not fit tightly against the ceiling 400, resulting in a noticeable gap. In this case, fasteners can be passed through the deformation and contraction hole 151 and connected to the ceiling 400 to correct the shape of the panel device 200, ensuring that the bottom protrusion of the panel device 200 fits tightly against the ceiling 400, thus optimizing the appearance of the panel device 200 after installation. The deformation and contraction hole 151 is located on the upper side of the return air grille 242. The return air grille 242 can be removed during fastener installation (e.g., ...). Figure 11 (As shown), after fastening the fasteners, install the return air grille 242. The return air grille 242 can cover the fasteners at the deformation contraction hole 151, as shown. Figure 12 As shown, this does not affect the appearance of the panel device 200. If there is no obvious gap between the panel device 200 and the ceiling 400, the deformation shrinkage hole 151 can be left empty.

[0075] Therefore, the integrated side plate 100 also integrates deformation shrinkage holes 151, which further improves the integration of the integrated side plate 100, which helps to reduce the number of parts, improve assembly efficiency, and reduce product costs.

[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown in the embodiments, this application also provides a panel device 200 for an embedded air conditioner. The panel device 200 includes a main body 21, a first side panel 102, and a second side panel 104. The first side panel 102 and the second side panel 104 are located on both sides of the main body 21 and are connected to the main body 21. At least one of the first side panel 102 and the second side panel 104 is configured as an integrated side panel 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.
