Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically an air conditioner panel assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle air conditioning panel is a device inside a car used to control and adjust the functions and settings of the air conditioning system. It is usually located on the center console or dashboard for easy operation by the driver and passengers. It generally consists of buttons, knobs, support brackets, circuit board assemblies, etc. Buttons control the output of various switch functions, and knobs control the adjustment of air volume and temperature.

[0003] In existing technologies, the mounting positions of air conditioner panel components are usually fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to the mounting hole positions of different vehicle models. This limits the applicability of the panel components and is not conducive to installation and use in various vehicle models. At the same time, the buttons on the air conditioner panel are prone to accumulating dust and debris during use. After prolonged use, the dust and debris can cause greater resistance when pressing the buttons, thus affecting their normal use.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an air conditioner panel assembly that solves the problems of existing air conditioner panel assemblies where the mounting positions are fixed and not suitable for different vehicle models, and where buttons are prone to accumulating dust and debris, affecting normal use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a panel assembly for an air conditioner, so as to solve the problems in the prior art where the mounting parts on the air conditioner panel assembly are fixed in position and are not easy to be used in different car models, and the buttons are easy to attract dust and debris, which affects normal use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a panel assembly for an air conditioner, comprising a panel body, a knob rotatably mounted on the panel body, and a button mounted on the panel body, wherein the top and bottom surfaces of the panel body are provided with mounting mechanisms, and a cleaning component is provided on the panel body;

[0007] Each set of mounting mechanisms includes a mounting rod fixedly connected to the panel body, two symmetrically opened sliding cavities within the mounting rod, two lead screws rotatably connected within the two sliding cavities, two movable blocks movably mounted on the lead screws, two through slots on the mounting rod corresponding to the two sliding cavities for guidance, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the movable blocks, a mounting connector fixedly connected to the connecting plate, an operating slot on the mounting rod, and a rotating wheel rotatably disposed within the operating slot and connected to the two lead screws.

[0008] It should be noted in the solution that the cleaning component includes a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the panel body, an installation cavity opened in the U-shaped frame, an air collection pipe fixedly connected to the installation cavity, an air pump installed on the air collection pipe, and multiple air outlet pipes uniformly fixedly connected to the air collection pipe for exhaust.

[0009] It is worth noting that a protective cover for protecting the button is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame, and a magnetic component is fixedly connected to the protective cover.

[0010] Furthermore, it should be noted that the U-shaped frame is also equipped with adsorption components that correspond one-to-one with the two magnetic components and magnetically engage with them.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the U-shaped frame is also provided with a switch for controlling the air pump.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the U-shaped frame is also provided with an air exchange hole for air pump intake.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By rotating the wheel, the corresponding two lead screws rotate, causing the moving block to move the two mounting connectors closer or further apart via the connecting plate. This allows the panel assembly to be used in different car models, effectively avoiding the problem of fixed mounting positions on the air conditioner panel assembly making it difficult to be used in different car models.

[0015] 2. Air is blown into the air collection pipe by an air pump, and the air is blown onto the buttons through the air outlet pipe to clean the buttons.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example: Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution, including a panel body 1, a knob 2 rotatably mounted on the panel body 1, and a button 3 mounted on the panel body 1. The top and bottom surfaces of the panel body 1 are provided with mounting mechanisms 4, and the panel body 1 is provided with cleaning components 5.

[0023] Each set of mounting mechanisms 4 includes a mounting rod 41 fixedly connected to the panel body 1, two sliding cavities 42 symmetrically opened in the mounting rod 41, two lead screws 43 rotatably connected in the two sliding cavities 42, two movable blocks 44 movably mounted on the lead screws 43, two through slots 45 opened in the mounting rod 41 and paired with the two sliding cavities 42 for guidance, a connecting plate 46 fixedly connected to the movable blocks 44, a mounting connector 47 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 46, an operating slot 48 opened in the mounting rod 41, and a rotating wheel 49 rotatably disposed in the operating slot 48 and connected to the two lead screws 43.

[0024] Specifically, rotating the wheel 49 drives the two lead screws 43 to rotate, and the two lead screws 43 drive the two moving blocks 44 to move. Under the guidance of the through groove 45, the two moving blocks 44 drive the two mounting connectors 47 to move through the connecting plate 46, and adjust the position of the mounting connectors 47 to facilitate installation and use for different vehicle models.

[0025] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that the cleaning component 5 includes a U-shaped frame 51 fixedly connected to the panel body 1, a mounting cavity 52 opened in the U-shaped frame 51, an air collection pipe 53 fixedly connected in the mounting cavity 52, an air pump 54 installed on the air collection pipe 53, and a plurality of air outlet pipes 55 uniformly fixedly connected to the air collection pipe 53 for exhausting air.

[0026] Specifically, after the air pump 54 is started, the generated gas enters the air collection pipe 53 and blows air onto the button 3 through multiple air outlet pipes 55 to clean the button 3.

[0027] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that a protective cover 6 for protecting the button 3 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 51, and a magnetic component 7 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 6.

[0028] Specifically, when button 3 is not in use, the protective cover 6 is rotated to protect button 3 and prevent dust and debris from contaminating button 3.

[0029] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the U-shaped frame 51 is also equipped with an adsorption element 8 that corresponds one-to-one with the two magnetic elements 7 and magnetically engages with them.

[0030] Specifically, when rotating the protective cover 6 to protect the button 3, the magnetic component 7 and the adsorption component 8 are magnetically connected to lock the protective cover 6. At the same time, opening the protective cover 6 is relatively simple and effortless.

[0031] Further as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the U-shaped frame 51 is also equipped with a switch 9 for controlling the air pump 54.

[0032] Specifically, the switch 9 is configured to allow the operator to control the air pump 54 to be turned on and off.

[0033] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the U-shaped frame 51 is also provided with an air exchange hole 10 for the air pump 54 to enter.

[0034] Specifically, the ventilation holes 10 are designed to meet the ventilation needs of the air pump 54 during operation.

[0035] In summary: When installing this panel assembly, the rotating wheel 49 drives the two corresponding lead screws 43 to rotate simultaneously according to the position of the mounting holes for different vehicle models. Under the action of the threads, the two lead screws 43 drive the corresponding moving blocks 44 to move. When the two moving blocks 44 move closer or further apart, the connecting plate 46 drives the mounting connectors 47 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting connectors 47. After rotating the two rotating wheels 49, the positions of the four mounting connectors 47 are adjusted, making the panel assembly suitable for installation and use on different vehicle models. The operation is simple and effectively avoids the problem that the fixed position of the mounting parts on the air conditioner panel assembly is not suitable for installation and use on different vehicle models.

[0036] When in use, rotating the protective cover 6 causes the magnetic component 7 to separate from the adsorption component 8, exposing the button 3 for easy operation. When the panel assembly is not in use, pressing the switch 9 starts the air pump 54. The air pump 54 draws in outside air through the ventilation hole 10 and blows it into the air collection pipe 53. Multiple air outlets 55 blow air to clean the button 3. After cleaning, rotating the protective cover 6 causes the magnetic component 7 to magnetically connect with the adsorption component 8, protecting the button 3 and preventing dust and debris from adhering to the surface of the button 3, which would cause the button 3 to be difficult to press. This effectively avoids the problem of dust and debris easily adhering to the buttons on the air conditioner panel, affecting normal use.

[0037] The air pump 54 can be purchased from the market and is a mature technology in this field, which has been fully disclosed, so it will not be described again in the specification.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
