[0041] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0042] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 A panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0043] A panel assembly 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a front panel 10 and a light-emitting component 20.

[0044] The light-emitting component 20 is mounted on the front panel 10 and includes a light-emitting element 21 and a reflector 30. The reflector 30 has a reflective surface 32. The light-emitting element 21 includes a light-emitting element 22. At least a portion of the light-emitting element 22 is opposite to the reflective surface 32. The reflective surface 32 is used to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting element 22 onto the reflective surface 32.

[0045] By including a light-emitting component 20 in the panel assembly 100 and mounting the light-emitting component 20 on the front panel 10, the light-emitting component 20 can be turned on or off according to the operating mode of the air conditioner, or change color according to the operating mode of the air conditioner to indicate the status of the air conditioner to the user.

[0046] For example, when the air conditioner is off, the light-emitting component 20 is off, and when the air conditioner is on, the light-emitting component 20 is on to indicate to the user the on / off status of the air conditioner.

[0047] For example, when the air conditioner is off, the light-emitting component 20 emits white light to indicate the location of the air conditioner's on button in a dark environment; when the air conditioner is on, the light-emitting component 20 emits colored light to indicate to the user that the air conditioner is on.

[0048] When the air conditioner is heating, the light-emitting component 20 emits warm-colored light; when the air conditioner is cooling, the light-emitting component 20 emits cool-colored light. For example, when the air conditioner's temperature varies, the intensity of the emitted light can change according to the temperature to indicate the air conditioner's status to the user.

[0049] By including a reflector 30 in the light-emitting component 20, the reflector 30 having a reflective surface 32, and the reflective surface 32 being used to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 onto the reflective surface 32, the optical path of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 20 can be increased, making the light emitted by the light-emitting component 20 more diffuse and reducing the discomfort caused by the concentrated light of the light-emitting component 20 entering the human eye.

[0050] By aligning at least a portion of the light-emitting element 22 with the reflective surface 32, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 22 is first emitted onto the reflective element 30 and then reflected by the reflective element 30. This increases the optical path while making the structure of the light-emitting assembly 20 more compact. Furthermore, given a fixed installation angle for the light-emitting element 21, the reflector can be positioned at the required angle during production and assembly. This allows the light emitted by the light-emitting element 21 to be reflected at a set angle, making it easier to adjust the light direction of the light-emitting assembly 20 and reducing design and procurement costs.

[0051] According to the panel assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment, by including a reflector 30, the reflector 30 having a reflective surface 32, and the reflective surface 32 being used to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 onto the reflective surface 32, the reflector assembly can be placed at the required angle position during the production and assembly process, provided that the installation angle position of the light-emitting component 21 is fixed. This allows the light emitted by the light-emitting component 21 to be reflected at a set angle, thereby making it easier to adjust the light direction of the light-emitting component 20 and reducing design and procurement costs.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The reflective surface 32 and the light-emitting element 22 are arranged in the vertical direction. By arranging the reflective surface 32 and the light-emitting element 22 in the vertical direction, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 22 can first be emitted into the reflective surface 32 in the vertical direction and then emitted forward. Compared with the related technology in which the light-emitting element 22 emits light directly forward, the optical path can be increased without increasing the length of the light-emitting component 20 in the front-back direction, making the structure of the light-emitting component 20 more compact.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The reflective surface 32 is located above the light-emitting element 22 and faces forward. At least a portion of the light-emitting element 22 is arranged opposite to the reflective surface 32 in the vertical direction and emits light upward. By positioning the reflective surface 32 above the light-emitting element 22 and facing forward, the light-emitting element 22 can emit light from bottom to top. After the light shines on the reflective surface 32, it is reflected forward by the reflective surface 32, which increases the optical path without increasing the length of the light-emitting component 20 in the front-back direction, making the structure of the light-emitting component 20 compact. Furthermore, when people use the air conditioner, since the light-emitting component 20 of the air conditioner is usually located above the person's line of sight, by positioning the reflective surface 32 above the light-emitting element 22 and making the light-emitting element 22 emit light upward, the discomfort caused by the light emitted by the light-emitting element 22 directly entering the eyes can be avoided. Furthermore, given that the installation angle of the light-emitting component 21 is fixed, the reflector can be placed at the required angle during the production and assembly process as needed. This allows the light emitted by the light-emitting component 21 to be reflected at a set angle, making it easier to adjust the light direction of the light-emitting component 20.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The reflective surface 32 extends forward at an angle from bottom to top. By making the reflective surface 32 extend forward at an angle from bottom to top, the reflective surface 32 can fully receive the light emitted by the light-emitting element 22 and reflect this light forward.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The angle of the reflective surface 32 can be adjusted. This makes it easier for relevant personnel to adjust the angle of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 20.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the reflective surface 32 has an uneven structure. By forming an uneven structure on the reflective surface 32, the reflective surface 32 can be made uneven, allowing the reflective surface 32 to disperse light more fully and reduce discomfort caused by direct light entering the human eye.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the concave-convex structure is formed in a sawtooth or stepped shape. By forming the concave-convex structure in a sawtooth or stepped shape, it is easier to manufacture the concave-convex structure on the reflective surface 32.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The light-emitting component 21 is mounted on the reflector 30, which in turn is mounted on the front panel 10. By mounting the reflector on the front panel 10, its position is fixed, and the light emitted by the light-emitting component 21 illuminates the front of the front panel 10, making it easier for personnel to see. Mounting the light-emitting component 21 on the reflector 30 also fixes the relative position between them, preventing relative sliding or movement that could cause unstable light emission from the light-emitting component 20.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reflector 30 is detachably connected to the front panel 10. By making the reflector detachably connected to the front panel 10, the installation or maintenance of the reflector can be made more convenient.

[0060] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 9 The light-emitting component 21 is provided with a mounting lug 37, which is connected to the panel by fasteners. By providing the mounting lug 37 on the light-emitting component 21 and connecting the mounting lug 37 to the front panel 10 by fasteners, the connection between the front panel 10 and the light-emitting component 21 can be made more secure, and the light-emitting component 21 can be more effectively prevented from falling off the front panel 10.

[0061] For example, the reflector 30 is provided with a mounting lug 37, which is connected to the panel by fasteners.

[0062] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9The reflector 30 includes a reflective portion 31 and a mounting portion 33. The reflective portion 31 has a reflective surface 32, and the mounting portion 33 has a mounting cavity 34. At least a portion of the light-emitting component 21 is located within the mounting cavity 34. A light-transmitting hole 35 is formed on the mounting portion 33, located between the reflective surface 32 and the light-emitting component 22. By having a mounting cavity 34 within the mounting portion 33, and at least a portion of the light-emitting component 21 located within the mounting cavity 34, the connection between the reflector 30 and the light-emitting component 21 can be made more secure, and relative sliding between the light-emitting component 21 and the reflector 30, which would otherwise cause unstable light emission of the light-emitting component 20, can be more effectively prevented. By forming a light-transmitting hole 35 on the mounting portion 33, located between the reflective surface 32 and the light-emitting component 22, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 can pass through the light-transmitting hole 35 and illuminate the reflective surface 32, enabling the light-emitting component 20 to emit light normally.

[0063] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 A mounting opening 36 is formed on the rear side of the mounting cavity 34. The mounting opening 36 is used for mounting the light-emitting component 21 into or removing it from the mounting cavity 34. By forming a mounting opening 36 on the rear side of the mounting cavity 34, the light-emitting component 21 can be mounted from the rear side of the mounting cavity 34 into the mounting cavity 34 through the mounting opening 36, or removed from the mounting cavity 34 from the rear side through the mounting opening 36, which facilitates the installation between the reflector 30 and the light-emitting component 21. Furthermore, the front sidewall of the mounting cavity 34 can limit the forward movement of the light-emitting component 21, preventing it from sliding forward and falling off the reflector 30.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The light-emitting component 21 includes a lamp holder 24 and a light-emitting element 22, which is detachably mounted on the lamp holder 24. By including the lamp holder 24 in the light-emitting component 21 and detachably mounting the light-emitting element 22 on the lamp holder 24, the light-emitting element 22 can be fixed by the lamp holder 24, preventing the light-emitting component 21 from shifting or shaking, which would cause relative movement between the light-emitting component 21 and the reflector assembly, resulting in unstable light emitted by the light-emitting component 20. The detachability between the light-emitting element 22 and the lamp holder 24 facilitates the installation of the light-emitting element 22.

[0065] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The lamp holder 24 is provided with a positioning groove 25, and the light-emitting element 22 is provided with a positioning protrusion 23, which is accommodated in the positioning groove 25. By providing a positioning groove 25 on the lamp holder 24 and a positioning protrusion 23 on the main body, and by accommodating the positioning protrusion 23 in the positioning groove 25, the connection between the main body and the lamp holder 24 can be made more secure.

[0066] For example, the main body is provided with two positioning protrusions 23, and the lamp holder 24 is provided with two positioning grooves 25, with the two positioning protrusions 23 respectively accommodated in the two positioning grooves 25.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 ,and Figure 2 An air outlet 11 is formed on the front panel 10, and a light-emitting component 20 is located above the air outlet 11. By positioning the light-emitting component 20 above the air outlet 11, it is possible to avoid the light-emitting component 20 blocking the air outlet 11, which would reduce the air outlet area and affect the temperature control effect of the air conditioner; furthermore, positioning the light-emitting component 20 above the air outlet 11 makes it easier for the user to see the light emitted by the light-emitting component 20, making the light-emitting component 20's prompts to the user more obvious and clear.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The panel assembly 100 also includes a display unit 40, which is mounted on the front panel 10. A receiving space 42 is defined between the display unit 40 and the front panel 10, and at least a portion of the light-emitting component 20 is located within the receiving space 42. By including the display unit 40 in the panel assembly 100, the display unit 40 can display the status information of the air conditioner, such as the air conditioner's temperature and fan speed, thus providing more information to the user. By defining the receiving space 42 between the display unit 40 and the front panel 10, and with at least a portion of the light-emitting component 20 located within the receiving space 42, interference between the display unit 40 and the front panel 10 can be avoided.

[0069] For example, the display unit 40 and the front panel 10 are detachably connected by a snap-fit.

[0070] For example, the display unit 40 and the front panel 10 are detachably connected by fasteners, and the front panel 10 is provided with a connection hole 12 through which the fasteners pass.

[0071] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 4-6 The display unit 40 includes a display panel 41 and a display module 44. The display module 44 is mounted on the display panel 41 and located behind the display panel 41. A receiving space 42 is defined between the display panel 41 and the front panel 10. The receiving space 42 and the display module 44 are arranged vertically. By defining the receiving space 42 between the display panel 41 and the front panel 10, and by arranging the receiving space 42 and the display module 44 vertically, interference between the display module 44 and the front panel 10 can be avoided. Furthermore, the light-emitting component 20 can be located behind the front panel 10, allowing the front panel 10 to protect the light-emitting component 20 and prevent water or dust from falling into it, which could reduce its luminous efficiency.

[0072] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 4-6 The accommodating space 42 is located above the display module 44. A support plate is provided on the rear side of the display panel 41. The support plate is located below the light-emitting component 20 and between the light-emitting component 20 and the display module 44. By providing a support plate on the rear side of the display panel 41, which is located below the light-emitting component 20 and between the light-emitting component 20 and the display module 44, the support plate can separate the accommodating space 42 from the display module 44, preventing the light-emitting component 20 from falling out of the accommodating space 42 and colliding or interfering with the display module 44. Furthermore, the support plate can be used to support the light-emitting component 20 upwards, further preventing the light-emitting component 20 from falling.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 4-6 The accommodating space 42 is located above the display module 44, and at least part of the reflective surface 32 is located above the display panel 41. By positioning at least part of the reflective surface 32 above the display panel 41, the light reflected from this part of the reflective surface 32 can be emitted, preventing the display panel 41 from blocking or weakening the light emitted by the light-emitting component 20, allowing the user to see the light emitted by the light-emitting component 20 more clearly.

[0074] For example, when installing the light-emitting component 20, the light-emitting element 22 is first inserted into the slot of the reflective component, so that at least part of the extension is accommodated in the reflective space. Then, the reflective component is installed on the front panel 10 from the front side using fasteners. In this way, the reflective component can limit the light-emitting element 22 forward, and the front panel 10 can limit the light-emitting element 22 backward, preventing the light-emitting element 22 from moving and causing the light-emitting angle of the light-emitting component 20 to be unstable. Finally, the display unit 40 can be installed on the front panel 10 from the front side, wherein the support plate on the display unit 40 is located below the light-emitting component 20 and is used to support the light-emitting component 20 upward.

[0075] An air conditioner according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a housing assembly, which includes a front housing component and a rear housing component. The rear housing component is connected to the rear side of the front housing component. The front housing component includes a panel assembly 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention. An air outlet 11 is formed on the front housing component, and an air inlet is formed on the rear housing component.

[0076] For example, the air conditioner can be a split-type floor-standing air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and the indoor unit includes a panel assembly 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0077] For example, an air conditioner includes a heat exchange and air supply assembly, which is located within the housing assembly.

[0078] For example, the heat exchange and air supply assembly may include a heat exchanger component, a duct component, and an air outlet frame component. The heat exchanger component is located between the air inlet and the duct component, and the air outlet frame component is connected to the front side of the duct component and can be installed on the front housing component. The duct component includes a duct casing and a fan, with at least a portion of the fan disposed within the duct casing, which forms a duct. The air outlet frame component forms an air outlet channel, which is located downstream of and communicates with the duct, and the air outlet side of the air outlet channel is opposite to the air outlet 11. The fan is used to drive the airflow, and the heat exchanger component is used to exchange heat with the airflow to regulate the airflow temperature.

[0079] For example, there can be one air outlet 11, which extends in the vertical direction. The air outlet 11 can be provided with a switch door for opening and closing the air outlet 11. The switch door can move around the circumference of the casing to open or close the air outlet 11. There can be two switch doors, which are arranged in the left and right direction.

[0080] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner includes a reflector 30 in the panel assembly 100. During the production and assembly process, when the installation angle of the light-emitting component 21 is fixed, the reflector is placed at the required angle position. This allows the light emitted by the light-emitting component 21 to be reflected out at a set angle, making it easier to adjust the light direction of the light-emitting component 20 and reducing design and procurement costs.

[0081] The following reference Figures 1-10 The present invention describes a panel assembly 100 according to some specific embodiments.

[0082] In this embodiment, the panel assembly 100 includes a front panel 10 and a light-emitting assembly 20. The light-emitting assembly 20 is mounted on the front panel 10 and includes a light-emitting component 21 and a reflector 30. The reflector 30 has a reflective surface 32. The light-emitting component 21 includes a light-emitting component 22. At least a portion of the light-emitting component 22 is opposite to the reflective surface 32. The reflective surface 32 is used to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 onto the reflective surface 32.

[0083] The reflective surface 32 is located above the light-emitting element 22 and faces forward. At least a portion of the light-emitting element 22 is disposed opposite to the reflective surface 32 in the vertical direction and emits light upward. In the vertical direction, the reflective surface 32 extends forward at an angle. The reflective surface 32 has an uneven structure formed on it, which is formed in a serrated or stepped shape.

[0084] The light-emitting component 21 is mounted on the reflector 30, which is mounted on the front panel 10. The reflector 30 and the front panel 10 are detachably connected. The light-emitting component 22 is provided with a mounting lug 37, which is connected to the panel by fasteners.
