Detailed Implementation

[0040] 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 intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0041] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0042] The panel component 100 of the first aspect of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the panel component 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the panel component 100 includes: a panel 1 and a display component 2. The panel 1 has a light-transmitting area 11a. The display component 2 includes a dot matrix screen 21 and a light element 22. The light element 22 is arranged around the dot matrix screen 21 (that is, the light element 22 is located on the outer periphery of the dot matrix screen 21, and can be continuously surrounded or intermittently surrounded). Both the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 are opposite to the light-transmitting area 11a.

[0044] Panel 1 is the main body of panel component 100, and panel 1 has a light-transmitting area 11a. The dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 of display component 2 are both arranged opposite to the light-transmitting area 11a, so that the light emitted by the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting area 11a for user observation. For example, the light-transmitting area 11a can be a hollow area, and the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 can directly display information to the outside; for another example, the light-transmitting area 11a can also be a closed solid area, and the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 can transmit light through the light-transmitting area 11a to display information. The dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 do not directly contact the outside world, which can reduce the interference of the external environment and improve the working stability.

[0045] According to the panel component 100 of this utility model embodiment, since the display component 2 includes a dot matrix screen 21 and a light element 22, and the light element 22 surrounds the dot matrix screen 21, it can be combined with control to realize various display effects in the light-transmitting area. For example, it can be combined with control to realize three switching: the dot matrix screen lights up alone, the light element lights up alone, and the dot matrix screen and the light element light up together, thereby meeting different user needs. Moreover, by setting the dot matrix screen, different content can be displayed, which can occupy less space and display more content. Furthermore, since the light element surrounds the dot matrix screen, when the light element and the dot matrix screen light up together, the light element makes the information on the dot matrix screen more eye-catching.

[0046] For example, the display component 2 includes a dot matrix screen 21 and a light element 22. The dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 can be turned on separately or together to form a linkage effect, which can improve the functionality of the display component 2.

[0047] For example, the dot matrix screen 21 includes multiple light-emitting units, such as multiple light dots (i.e., small LED beads), and these light-emitting units are arranged in an array, such as... Figures 3-5 As shown, different content can be displayed by changing the combination of different light-emitting units.

[0048] In related technologies, the panel component uses a light panel to illuminate a snowflake-shaped light cavity to light up a snowflake-shaped icon, which can remind the user that the cooling is running. However, this method has a single display method, cannot be changed, expresses less content, and lacks interaction with the user.

[0049] The dot matrix screen 21 of this embodiment can display different content by changing the combination of light-emitting units, occupying less space and displaying more content. For example, it can display digital display of cooling temperature, providing users with more comprehensive and richer information. Users can also change the information after control, realizing information interaction. Compared with LED screens or LCD screens to display information, the dot matrix screen 21 of this embodiment has a lower cost.

[0050] The display component 2 also includes a light element 22, which is arranged around the dot matrix screen 21, thus leaving more space for the dot matrix screen 21. The dot matrix screen 21 is closer to the center of the display component 2 than the light element 22, making it easier for users to observe the content on the dot matrix screen 21. Furthermore, the light element 22 forms a complete ring of light bodies around the dot matrix screen 21, or forms intermittent rings. The light from the light element 22 is evenly distributed around the dot matrix screen 21, making the light around the dot matrix screen 21 uniform and providing a more comfortable viewing experience for users.

[0051] According to the panel component 100 of this utility model embodiment, the dot matrix screen 21 can display different content by changing the combination of light-emitting units, occupying less space and displaying more content. Furthermore, users can control the design to create their own patterns or change the displayed information, achieving information interaction. Compared to using LED or LCD screens to display information, the dot matrix screen 21 of this utility model embodiment is lower in cost. Moreover, by setting up lighting components 22 around the dot matrix screen 21, the information on the dot matrix screen 21 becomes more prominent and easier to observe. The lighting components 22 also make the light around the dot matrix screen 21 more uniform, making the user's viewing experience more comfortable.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 can display external weather icons, such as sunny weather (e.g., Figure 4 (a) shown) or rain (as shown) Figure 4 (b) As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 can also display the external temperature. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 can also display a combination of emoticons and graphics that indicate indoor air quality. For example, good air quality is displayed using smiley faces and heart patterns (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (as shown in (a)), or for example, bad air quality is displayed with a crying face (as shown in (a)). Figure 5 (b) shows, for example, clean air quality is displayed with a smiley face and a flashing pattern (as shown in the image). Figure 5 (c) shows an example of how fresh air quality is displayed using a smiley face and a leaf pattern (e.g.) Figure 5 (d) is shown for easy observation by the user.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the lighting element 22 includes an ambient light.

[0054] The ambient light offers flexible display effects and can be linked with the dot matrix screen 21 to enhance information sensitivity and facilitate user observation.

[0055] For example, when the dot matrix screen 21 displays the cooling temperature, the ambient light can display a blue light, and the light will turn on and off sequentially along the circumference of the light element 22 to form a circular blue light bar, giving the visual impression that a cool breeze is blowing; as another example, when the dot matrix screen 21 displays information that requires user confirmation, the light element 22 will turn on and off in time to prompt the user that there is information to be confirmed.

[0056] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the light element 22 may include a common lamp body or a lamp ring, which serves to provide illumination, making the information on the dot matrix screen 21 more eye-catching and easier to observe.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 is rectangular, and the light element 22 is circular. The inner circumferential ring R2 of the light element 22 is concentrically set with the smallest circumscribed circle R1 of the dot matrix screen 21 and forms a radial gap.

[0058] The dot matrix screen 21 is rectangular, which can occupy less space and display more content. The smallest outer circle R1 of the dot matrix screen 21 is smaller than the inner circumference ring R2 of the light component 22. During installation, the light component 22 and the dot matrix screen 21 will not interfere with each other, and it is easy to set up a light-blocking structure between them.

[0059] It is worth noting that the rings mentioned in this article, unless otherwise specified as circular rings, can be rings of any shape, such as polygonal rings, elliptical rings, circular rings, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, display component 2 is mounted on panel 1. Mounting display component 2 on panel 1 improves the installation stability of display component 2, and makes the arrangement of dot matrix screen 21 and light element 22 relative to the light-transmitting area 11a more stable, which is beneficial to the information display of display component 2.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the display component 2 includes a mounting base 23, and the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 are both mounted on the mounting base 23. The mounting base 23 is mounted on the panel 1.

[0062] Both the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22 are mounted on the mounting base 23. The integrated design of the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22 saves space, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the assembly efficiency of the display component 2. The mounting base 23 provides support and installation. Both the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22 are mounted on the mounting base 23, which is then connected to the panel 1. The stable arrangement of the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22 relative to the light-transmitting area 11a is beneficial for information display.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 23 includes a first annular rib 232, the lighting element 22 is located in the outer ring area of ​​the first annular rib 232, and the dot matrix screen 21 is located in the inner ring area of ​​the first annular rib 232.

[0064] The first annular rib 232 separates the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22, improving the installation stability of the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22. In addition, the first annular rib 232 can also block light, reduce light interference between the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22, and improve the display clarity of the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22.

[0065] It is worth noting that if the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22 each have a light shield, the first annular rib 232 can be omitted as needed, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. Alternatively, if the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22 each have a light shield, the first annular rib 232 can also be provided on the mounting base 23, and the light shield and the first annular rib 232 can work together to block light, further improving the light blocking effect.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting base 23 also includes a base plate 231 and a second annular rib 233. The lighting element 22 is located on the outer side of the base plate 231. Both the first annular rib 232 and the second annular rib 233 protrude from the outer side of the base plate 231. The second annular rib 233 concentrically surrounds the first annular rib 232. An annular groove 2311 is formed between the first annular rib 232, the second annular rib 233 and the base plate 231. The lighting element 22 includes a lamp body 221, which is located within the annular groove 2311. The term "outer" in this paragraph refers to the outer side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing the user. The opposite side is "inner," i.e., the inner side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing away from the user.

[0067] Mounting base 23 includes base plate 231, which provides support. Lighting element 22 is supported on the outside of the base. The inward and outward directions are based on panel 1. Lighting element 22 is located on the outside of panel 1 of base plate 231 to emit light towards the outside of panel 1. First annular rib 232 and second annular rib 233 both protrude from the outside of base plate 231. First annular rib 232 and second annular rib 233 clamp the lamp body 221, which can improve the installation stability of lamp body 221.

[0068] The second annular rib 233 is concentrically wrapped around the outside of the first annular rib 232. The inward and outward directions are based on the center of the first annular rib 232. The second annular rib 233 is located radially outside the first annular rib 232. An annular groove 2311 is formed between the first annular rib 232, the second annular rib 233 and the base plate 231. The first annular rib 232 and the second annular rib 233 define the sidewalls of the annular groove 2311, and the base plate 231 defines the bottom wall of the annular groove 2311. The lamp body 221 is set in the annular groove 2311, which can improve the installation stability of the lamp body 221.

[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting base 23 has a first outlet 2312 that communicates with the annular groove 2311, and the lamp body 221 extends out a lamp wire, which extends out of the mounting base 23 from the first outlet 2312.

[0070] The lamp wire can supply power to the lamp body 221 or transmit signals to the lamp body 221 to control the lamp body 221. By providing a first outlet 2312 on the mounting base 23, the lamp wire extending from the lamp body 221 can extend out of the mounting base 23 through the first outlet 2312. The first outlet 2312 can restrict the direction of the lamp wire and improve the neatness of the wiring.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the base plate 231 has a first cable outlet 2312 in the annular groove 2311, and the lamp wire extends from the first cable outlet 2312 to the inside of the chassis. Compared with opening the first cable outlet on the first annular rib or the second annular rib, opening the first cable outlet 2312 on the base plate 231 can improve the installation stability of the lamp body 221; and the first cable outlet 2312 is opened on the base plate 231 in the direction of the lamp body 221 closer to the inside of the panel 1, so the lamp wire extending from the first cable outlet 2312 will not block the outside of the lamp body 221 and will not affect the light emission of the lamp body 221, thereby improving the display effect of the display component 2.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, a first support structure 2313 is provided in the annular groove 2311. The first support structure 2313 is supported between the base plate 231 and the lamp body 221 to prevent the lamp body 221 from moving towards the base plate 231.

[0073] By setting the first support structure 2313 to support the lamp body 221, the lamp body 221 can be prevented from moving towards the base plate 231, which can improve the installation stability of the lamp body 221, reduce the shaking of the lamp body 221, and thus improve the working reliability of the lamp body 221.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a first positioning structure 2314 is provided in the annular groove 2311, and a second positioning structure 2211 is provided on the lamp body 221 to cooperate with the first positioning structure 2314 in positioning, so as to prevent the lamp body 221 from moving circumferentially along the annular groove 2311.

[0075] By setting the first positioning structure 2314 and the second positioning structure 2211 for positioning cooperation, the circumferential movement of the lamp body 221 relative to the annular groove 2311 can be reduced, improving the installation stability of the lamp body 221 and thus enhancing the light-emitting reliability of the lamp body 221. Furthermore, by stably arranging the lamp body 221 relative to the annular groove 2311, the lamp wire extending from the lamp body 221 can stably extend from the first outlet 2312, improving the wiring stability of the lamp wire.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the sidewall of the annular groove 2311 is provided with a protrusion 23141 extending inward into the groove. The protrusion 23141 is configured as a first positioning structure 2314. The outer contour edge of the lamp body 221 is provided with an inwardly recessed groove 22111. The groove 22111 is configured as a second positioning structure 2211. When the lamp body 221 is installed in the annular groove 2311, the protrusion 23141 and the groove 22111 are inserted and engaged, thereby positioning the lamp body 221 relative to the mounting base 23 and preventing the lamp body 221 from moving circumferentially along the annular groove 2311.

[0077] There can be one or more protrusions 23141. When there are multiple protrusions 23141, the protrusions 23141 are arranged at annular intervals along the annular groove 2311, and the grooves 22111 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the protrusions 23141, which can further improve the positioning stability of the lamp body 221 relative to the mounting base 23.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the lighting component 22 also includes a lampshade 222, at least a portion of which is disposed within the annular groove 2311 and covers the lamp body 221.

[0079] The lampshade 222 covers the lamp body 221, which can block light, reduce light interference between the dot matrix screen 21 and the lamp body 221, and improve the display clarity of the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22. At least a portion of the lampshade 222 is disposed within the annular groove 2311, which can improve the installation stability of the lampshade 222, reduce the mutual interference between the lampshade 222 and the lamp body 221, and help improve the working reliability of the lighting element 22.

[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the lampshade 222 includes a cover end plate 2221 and a cover surrounding plate 2222. The cover end plate 2221 is located on the outside of the lamp body 221 and covers the opening of the annular groove 2311. The cover surrounding plate 2222 extends from the cover end plate 2221 toward the annular groove 2311 and surrounds the lamp body 221. The term "outer" in this paragraph refers to the outer side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing the user. The opposite side is "inner," i.e., the inner side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing away from the user.

[0081] The end cover plate 2221 covers the outside of the lamp body 221, thereby protecting the lamp body 221. The cover plate 2222 extends from the outer peripheral edge of the end cover plate 2221 toward the annular groove 2311, with at least a portion of the cover plate 2222 located within the annular groove 2311. The end cover plate 2221 covers the opening of the annular groove 2311. Thus, the lamp cover 222 and the annular groove 2311 together limit the position of the lamp body 221, improving the installation stability of the lamp body 221 on the mounting base 23. Furthermore, the lamp cover 222 and the annular groove 2311 together form a relatively enclosed space, which can protect the lamp body 221 located between the annular groove 2311 and the lamp cover 222, improving the working stability of the lamp body 221.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the outer end of the first annular rib 232 is provided with a first limiting structure 2321, and the outer end of the second annular rib 233 is provided with a second limiting structure 2331. The first limiting structure 2321 stops and limits the inner peripheral edge of the cover end plate 2221, and the second limiting structure 2331 stops and limits the outer peripheral edge of the cover end plate 2221 to prevent the lamp cover 222 from coming out of the annular groove 2311.

[0083] Here, the inward and outward directions are based on panel 1. The end of the first annular rib 232 near the outer side of panel 1 is provided with a first limiting structure 2321, and the end of the second annular rib 233 near the outer side of panel 1 is provided with a second limiting structure 2331. The inner and outer peripheral edges of the end plate 2221 are respectively stopped and limited, restricting the outward movement of the lampshade 222, thereby restricting the lampshade 222 from detaching from the annular groove 2311 and improving the installation stability of the lampshade 222.

[0084] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11As shown, the end of the first annular rib 232 near the outer side of the panel 1 is provided with a first limiting structure 2321 extending radially toward the second annular rib 233, and the end of the second annular rib 233 near the outer side of the panel 1 is provided with a second limiting structure 2331 extending radially toward the first annular rib 232. Correspondingly, the inner peripheral edge of the end plate 2221 is provided with a first fastening position 22222 recessed toward the inner side of the panel 1, and the outer peripheral edge of the end plate 2221 is provided with a second fastening position 22223 recessed toward the inner side of the panel 1. The first limiting structure 2321 cooperates with the first fastening position 22222 to stop and limit the end plate 2221, and the second limiting structure 2331 cooperates with the second fastening position 22223 to stop and limit the end plate 2221.

[0085] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple first limiting structures 2321 are arranged at annular intervals along the first annular rib 232, and multiple second limiting structures 2331 are arranged at annular intervals along the second annular rib 233, which can improve the installation stability of the lampshade 222. Furthermore, the first limiting structures 2321 and the second limiting structures 2331 are staggered along the annular axis, which can further improve the installation stability of the lampshade 222.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11 As shown, a third positioning structure 2315 is provided in the annular groove 2311, and a fourth positioning structure 22221 is provided on the cover plate 2222 to cooperate with the third positioning structure 2315, so as to prevent the lamp cover 222 from moving circumferentially along the annular groove 2311. By setting the third positioning structure 2315 and the fourth positioning structure 22221 to cooperate, the installation stability of the lamp cover 222 can be improved.

[0087] Furthermore, the lampshade 222 is accurately positioned relative to the mounting base 23, which facilitates the further cooperation between the first limiting structure 2321 and the second limiting structure 2331 and the end plate 2221, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11 As shown, the bottom wall of the annular groove 2311 is provided with a positioning protrusion 23151 protruding outward toward the panel 1. The positioning protrusion 23151 is constructed as a third positioning structure 2315. The cover plate 2222 is provided with a positioning groove 222211 extending inward and outward along the panel 1. The positioning groove 222211 is constructed as a fourth positioning structure 22221. The third positioning structure 2315 and the fourth positioning structure 22221 are interlocked to position the lampshade 222 relative to the mounting base 23, preventing the lampshade 222 from moving circumferentially along the annular groove 2311.

[0089] The positioning protrusion 23151 can be one or more. When there are multiple positioning protrusions 23151, the positioning protrusions 23151 are arranged at annular intervals along the annular groove 2311, and the positioning grooves 222211 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the positioning protrusions 23151, which can further improve the positioning stability of the lamp cover 222 relative to the mounting base 23.

[0090] In some embodiments of this utility model, the end of the cover plate 2222 away from the cover end plate 2221 is supported on the base plate 231, and the base plate 231 can also support the cover plate 2222, further improving the installation stability of the lamp cover 222.

[0091] Furthermore, the end of the cover plate 2222 away from the cover end plate 2221 is restricted by the bottom plate 231, preventing the lamp cover 222 from moving toward the inside of the panel 1. The first limiting structure 2321 and the second limiting structure 2331 can prevent the lamp cover 222 from moving toward the outside of the panel 1, thereby further improving the installation stability of the lamp cover 222 and reducing the occurrence of shaking and friction of the lamp cover 222.

[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 includes a screen body 211 and a screen cover 212. The screen body 211 includes a screen panel 2111 and an array of light dots 2112 arranged on the screen panel 2111. The screen body 211 is located inside the screen cover 212 and is installed on the screen cover 212. The screen cover 212 is installed on the mounting base 23.

[0093] The screen body 211 includes a screen panel 2111 and LED dots 2112 arrayed on the screen panel 2111. Different content can be displayed by illuminating different LED dots 2112. The screen body 211 is used for information display. The screen cover 212 serves for installation and protection. The screen body 211 is installed inside the screen cover 212. The screen cover 212 can protect the internal screen body 211 and is used to connect with the mounting base 23. The screen cover 212 can stably connect the screen body 211 relative to the mounting base 23, improving the working stability of the dot matrix screen 21.

[0094] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12As shown, the mounting base 23 includes a base plate 231, the dot matrix screen 21 is disposed on the outside of the base plate 231, and the screen cover 212 includes a cover end plate 2121 and a cover surrounding plate 2122. The cover end plate 2121 is disposed on the outside of the screen body 211, and the cover surrounding plate 2122 extends from the cover end plate 2121 toward the base plate 231 and surrounds the screen body 211. The cover end plate 2121 is connected to the screen body 211, and the cover surrounding plate 2122 is connected to the base plate 231. The term "outer" in this paragraph refers to the outer side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing the user. The opposite side is "inner," i.e., the inner side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing away from the user.

[0095] Mounting base 23 includes a base plate 231, which provides support. Dot matrix screen 21 is positioned outside the base plate 231 to emit light towards the outer side of panel 1. Screen cover 212 includes a cover end plate 2121 and a cover surrounding plate 2122. Cover end plate 2121 is located outside and connected to the screen body 211. Cover surrounding plate 2122 is connected to cover end plate 2121 and surrounds the screen body 211. Cover surrounding plate 2122 is connected to the base plate 231. Thus, cover end plate 2121 and cover surrounding plate 2122 enclose the screen body 211 and position it within the space formed between the screen cover 212 and the base plate 231. This protects the screen body 211 and improves the stability of the screen body 211 relative to the mounting base 23, thereby enhancing the operational reliability of the screen body 211.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the screen panel 2111 includes an edge portion 2111a and a support portion 2111b. The edge portion 2111a is arranged around the support portion 2111b, and the light points 2112 are all arranged on the support portion 2111b. The cover plate 2121 is frame-shaped and defines a frame opening 2123. The cover plate 2121 is connected to the edge portion 2111a, and the frame opening 2123 is opposite to the support portion 2111b.

[0097] The screen panel 2111 is used for arranging the light dots 2112. The light dots 2112 are set in the support part 2111b, and the edge part 2111a is set around the support part 2111b. Thus, the light dots 2112 are set in the middle of the screen panel 2111, which makes it convenient for users to observe the content on the dot matrix screen 21.

[0098] The end plate 2121 is frame-shaped and defines a frame opening 2123. The end plate 2121 is connected to the edge portion 2111a. The frame opening 2123 on the end plate 2121 is opposite to the support portion 2111b, thereby aligning the light spot 2112 with the frame opening 2123, avoiding obstruction of the light spot 2112, and improving the clarity of the information displayed on the dot matrix screen 21.

[0099] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7, Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, a shaped groove 2316 is formed on the base plate 231, which is matched with the outer cover 212. The cover plate 2122 is embedded in the shaped groove 2316. The dot matrix screen 21 is rectangular. One of the length direction and the width direction of the dot matrix screen 21 is the first direction X, and the other is the second direction Y. The two side walls of the shaped groove 2316 in the first direction X are the groove side walls 23161. The base plate 231 includes a connecting groove 2317 located outside one end of the shaped groove 2316 in the second direction Y. The cover plate 2122 has a first snap-fit ​​structure 2124. The groove side wall 23161 has a second snap-fit ​​structure 2318 that snaps into the first snap-fit ​​structure 2124. A first connecting ear 2125 protrudes from the cover plate 2122. The first connecting ear 2125 is embedded in the connecting groove 2317 and connected to the base plate 231 by a first threaded fastener.

[0100] A groove 2316 is formed on the base plate 231. The outer cover 212 fits into the groove 2316, and the cover plate 2122 is embedded in the groove 2316, thereby improving the installation stability of the outer cover 212 and the mounting base 23. The screen body 211 is connected to the outer cover 212. By embedding the cover plate 2122 in the groove 2316, the arrangement stability of the screen body 211 relative to the mounting base 23 is improved, and the protection of the screen body 211 is enhanced. The side of the screen body 211 is doubly protected by the side wall of the cover plate 2122 and the groove 2316, which reduces the impact damage to the screen body 211.

[0101] Using the length and width directions of the dot matrix screen 21 as a coordinate system, the two side walls of the shaped groove 2316 in the first direction X are called groove sidewalls 23161. The groove sidewalls 23161 clamp the cover plate 2122 along the first direction X, which can restrict the movement of the cover plate 2122 in the first direction X. Furthermore, a second snap-fit ​​structure 2318 is provided on the groove sidewalls 23161, and a first snap-fit ​​structure 2124 is provided on the cover plate 2122. The snap-fit ​​cooperation of the first snap-fit ​​structure 2124 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 2318 can further improve the connection stability between the screen cover 212 and the mounting base 23.

[0102] For example, a snap-fit ​​block extending along the first direction X is provided on the side wall 23161 of the slot. The snap-fit ​​block is constructed as a first snap-fit ​​structure 2124. Snap-fit ​​grooves are provided on both ends of the cover plate 2122 in the first direction X. The snap-fit ​​grooves are constructed as second snap-fit ​​structures 2318. The snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​grooves snap-fit ​​together, thereby improving the connection stability between the screen cover 212 and the mounting base 23.

[0103] Of course, this is not the only option. The first snap-fit ​​structure 2124 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 2318 can also be constructed in other forms, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0104] A connecting groove 2317 is also provided at one end of the fitting groove 2316 in the second direction Y. A first connecting ear 2125 protrudes from one side of the cover plate 2122 in the first direction X. The first connecting ear 2125 is embedded in the connecting groove 2317 and is connected to the base plate 231 by a first threaded fastener. This can fix the screen cover 212 and the mounting base 23, improving the connection stability between the screen cover 212 and the mounting base 23. It can also limit the movement of the cover plate 2122 in the second direction Y and limit the cover plate 2122 from falling outward. The groove sidewall 23161 has already limited the movement of the screen cover 212 in the first direction X, thereby limiting the movement of the screen cover 212 in multiple directions, improving the installation stability of the screen cover 212, and reducing the shaking of the screen cover 212, thus reducing the wear caused by the shaking of the screen body 211 relative to the screen cover 212.

[0105] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, a second support structure 2319 protrudes from the outer side of the base plate 231. The second support structure 2319 is used to support the screen panel 2111 to prevent the screen body 211 from moving towards the base plate 231. This not only improves the arrangement stability of the screen panel 2111, but also allows the screen panel 2111 to be arranged closer to the outer side of the panel 1, making the light spots 2112 on the screen panel 2111 closer to the outer side of the panel 1, which is beneficial to improving the clarity of the information of the light spots 2112.

[0106] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, a shaped groove 2316 is formed on the base plate 231, the shaped groove 2316 is fitted with the screen cover 212, at least a portion of the screen cover 212 is embedded in the shaped groove 2316, the base plate 231 has a second cable outlet 231a communicating with the shaped groove 2316, the screen body 211 extends out a screen cable, and the screen cable extends out of the second cable outlet 231a to the outside of the mounting base 23.

[0107] A groove 2316 is formed on the base plate 231. The screen cover 212 is fitted with the groove 2316, and the cover plate 2122 is embedded in the groove 2316, thereby improving the installation stability of the screen cover 212 and the mounting base 23.

[0108] The screen cable can supply power to the screen body 211 or transmit signals to the screen body 211 to control the screen body 211. A second cable outlet 231a is provided on the base plate 231, allowing the screen cable extending from the screen body 211 to extend beyond the mounting base 23. The second cable outlet 231a restricts the cable routing direction, improving cable neatness. Furthermore, the second cable outlet 231a is located on the base plate 231, facing inwards from the screen body 211 towards the panel 1. The screen cable extending from the second cable outlet 231a will not obstruct the outer side of the screen body 211, thus not affecting the illumination of the LED dots 2112, thereby improving the display effect of the dot matrix screen 21.

[0109] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, a connecting groove 2316 and a connecting groove 231c for the second outlet 231a are also provided on the base plate 231. The screen cable extends out through the screen body 211 provided in the connecting groove 2316, and extends out from the second outlet 231a after passing through the connecting groove 231c. The connection groove 231c can further improve the neatness of the screen cable routing.

[0110] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown, panel 1 includes a front panel 11, which is constructed as a single piece and defines a light-transmitting area 11a. The light-transmitting area 11a is a closed solid area. The front panel 11 includes a third annular rib 111 extending inward from the light-transmitting area 11a. The third annular rib 111 is fitted to the dot matrix screen 21 and surrounds the dot matrix screen 21. The lighting element 22 is located around the third annular rib 111. The third annular rib 111 is connected to the mounting base 23 by a second threaded fastener. The term "inner" in this paragraph refers to the inner side of the panel, i.e., the side of the panel facing away from the user.

[0111] The front panel 11 is a single piece, and the light-transmitting area 11a is a closed solid area that allows light from the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 to pass through for information display. The single-piece design of the front panel 11 improves its structural stability. Furthermore, by placing the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 on the inner side of the front panel 11, they do not directly contact the outside environment, reducing interference from external factors and improving operational stability.

[0112] The third annular rib 111 is arranged around the dot matrix screen 21. The relative positional relationship between the dot matrix screen 21 and the third annular rib 111 can be used to position the mounting base 23 and the front panel 11, which helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0113] Furthermore, the third annular rib 111 separates the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22, which can block light, reduce light interference between the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22, and improve the display clarity of the dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22. Not limited to this, the third annular rib 111 also serves to fix the device in place. The third annular rib 111 is connected to the mounting base 23 via a second threaded fastener, which can improve the installation stability of the display component 2 and the front panel 11.

[0114] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 13 As shown, a threaded hole 1111 is provided on the third annular rib 111. After the second threaded fastener passes through the mounting base 23, it is threadedly fastened to the threaded hole 1111 on the third annular rib 111, which can improve the installation stability of the display component 2 and the front panel 11. By providing a threaded hole 1111 on the third annular rib 111, the structural stability of the threaded hole 1111 can be improved, and it is also beneficial to increase the depth of the threaded hole 1111 to meet the fixed connection requirements of the second threaded fastener.

[0115] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 is rectangular, with one of its length and width directions designated as the first direction X. Elastic buckles 112 are respectively provided on both sides of the third annular rib 111 along the first direction X. The mounting base 23 includes a base plate 231, with both the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22 located on the outer side of the base plate 231. A locking hole 231b is formed on the base plate 231, located between the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22, and... Figure 6 As shown, the locking hole 231b is opposite to and engages with the elastic buckle 112 to prevent the mounting base 23 from detaching from the front panel 11 inwards. The "inwards" mentioned in this paragraph refers to the inner side of the panel 1, that is, the side of the panel 1 facing away from the user.

[0116] An elastic buckle 112 is provided on the third annular rib 111. The mounting base 23 includes a base plate 231, on which a locking hole 231b is formed. The locking hole 231b engages with the elastic buckle 112 to prevent the mounting base 23 from detaching from the front panel 11 inward, thereby improving the connection stability between the mounting base 23 and the front panel 11. During installation, the elastic buckle 112 can be engaged with the locking hole 231b to position the mounting base 23 relative to the front panel 11, and then the second threaded fastener can be used to fix the mounting base 23 to the third annular rib 111, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Elastic buckles 112 are provided on both sides of the third annular rib 111 in the first direction X, and two corresponding locking holes 231b are provided on the base plate 231, which can improve the positioning accuracy between the mounting base 23 and the front panel 11.

[0117] By placing the card hole 231b between the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22, the engagement of the elastic buckle 112 and the card hole 231b will not interfere with the operation of the dot matrix screen 21 and the light component 22, thus improving the installation stability of the display component 2. Furthermore, the arrangement of the card hole 231b, the dot matrix screen 21, and the light component 22 on the base plate 231 is reasonable, resulting in a compact structure and high space utilization of the display component 2.

[0118] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a second connecting ear 234 protrudes from the outer periphery of the mounting base 23, and the second connecting ear 234 is connected to the front panel 11 via a third threaded fastener panel 1.

[0119] The second threaded fastener fixes the middle part of the mounting base 23 to the third annular rib 111, and the third threaded fastener fixes the second connecting ear 234 on the outer periphery of the mounting base 23 to the front panel 11. The mounting base 23 and the front panel 11 have strong installation stability and can reduce the bulging of the middle part of the mounting base 23, which is beneficial to improving the display clarity of the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22.

[0120] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting base 23 has multiple second connecting ears 234 protruding from its outer periphery. These second connecting ears 234 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the mounting base 23, which improves the installation stability between the mounting base 23 and the front panel 11. Figure 13 As shown, a plurality of threaded posts 113 extending toward the inside of the front panel 11 are provided on the front panel 11, and a third threaded fastener passes through the second connecting ear 234 and is threadedly fixed to the threaded posts 113.

[0121] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, panel 1 also includes panel bracket 12, which is located on the inner side of front panel 11 and is assembled and connected to panel 1. Panel bracket 12 forms a hollow clearance area 12a at the corresponding display component 2. At least one third threaded fastener passes through panel bracket 12 and second connecting ear 234 in sequence and is then connected to front panel 11.

[0122] The panel bracket 12 is used to support the installation of the panel 1. The panel bracket 12 forms a hollow avoidance area 12a at the corresponding display component 2, which can reduce interference with the display component 2 and facilitate the installation of the display component 2.

[0123] like Figure 1As shown, a fixing hole 121 is provided on the front panel 11. The third threaded fastener passes through the panel bracket 12 and the second connecting ear 234 in sequence and is connected to the front panel 11. The panel bracket 12, the display component 2 and the front panel 11 can be fixedly connected by a single third threaded fastener, which can save manufacturing costs and improve assembly efficiency.

[0124] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, panel 1 includes a front panel 11 constructed as a single piece. The front panel 11 defines a light-transmitting area 11a, which is a closed solid area. The dot matrix screen 21 and the light element 22 are both hidden behind the light-transmitting area 11a.

[0125] The front panel 11 is a single piece, providing strong structural stability. The light-transmitting area 11a is a closed, solid area, with the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 hidden behind it. Light from the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 can pass through the light-transmitting area 11a to display information. Furthermore, by placing the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 on the inside of the front panel 11, the front panel 11 protects the display component 2. The dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting components 22 do not directly contact the outside environment, reducing interference from external factors and improving operational stability.

[0126] In some embodiments of this utility model, the front panel 11 includes a light-transmitting plate and a decorative layer. The light-transmitting plate is an integrally formed part, and the decorative layer covers the outer surface of the light-transmitting plate. The decorative layer is light-transmitting at least in the light-transmitting area 11a.

[0127] The light-transmitting panel is a one-piece molded part, which can improve the structural stability of the front panel 11. Light can be transmitted through the light-transmitting panel. The decorative layer covers the outer surface of the light-transmitting panel, which can prevent light from being projected from areas other than the light-transmitting area 11a. The decorative layer transmits light in the light-transmitting area 11a, and the light from the dot matrix screen 21 and the lighting element 22 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting area 11a to display information.

[0128] Of course, this is not the only possibility. The decorative layer can also transmit light in other areas of the light-transmitting panel while being translucent in the light-transmitting area 11a, so that the front panel 11 can display other information or be more eye-catching. For example, if the decorative layer is translucent at the edge surrounding the light-transmitting panel, the entire outline of the front panel 11 can be illuminated by arranging light strips along the edge of the decorative panel, making the front panel 11 more eye-catching.

[0129] For example, the front panel 11 can be a coated part, with the coating structure being a decorative layer; and for another example, the front panel 11 can be a sprayed part, with the sprayed layer structure being a decorative layer.

[0130] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, panel 1 also includes panel bracket 12, which is located on the inner side of front panel 11 and is assembled and connected to panel 1. Panel bracket 12 forms a hollow avoidance area 12a at the corresponding display component 2.

[0131] The panel bracket 12 is used to support the installation of the panel 1. The panel bracket 12 forms a hollow avoidance area 12a at the corresponding display component 2, which can reduce interference with the display component 2 and facilitate the installation of the display component 2.

[0132] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, display component 2 also includes a signal receiving device 24.

[0133] Users can send signals to display component 2 to control and change the displayed information, thereby enabling information exchange.

[0134] For example, a user can transmit a signal to the signal receiving device 24 of the display component 2 to control the dot matrix screen 21 to switch the displayed information. For instance, the user can control the dot matrix screen 21 to display indoor temperature information and then switch to outdoor temperature information, thus providing more information on the dot matrix screen 21.

[0135] As another example, the user can display the signal receiving device 24 of component 2 transmitting a signal to control the dot matrix screen 21 to display information edited by the user. For example, after the user edits the text, they can transmit a signal to make the dot matrix screen 21 display the text, thus enhancing the entertainment experience.

[0136] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 As shown, the dot matrix screen 21 includes a screen body 211 and a screen cover 212. The screen body 211 includes a screen panel 2111 and an array of lamp dots 2112 arranged on the screen panel 2111. The screen cover 212 covers the screen body 211. The signal receiving device 24 is integrated into the screen body 211. The screen cover 212 forms a signal receiving hole 2126 at the corresponding signal receiving device 24.

[0137] The screen body 211 includes a screen panel 2111 and LEDs 2112 arrayed on the screen panel 2111. Different content can be displayed by illuminating different LEDs 2112. The screen body 211 is used for information display. The screen cover 212 protects the internal screen body 211. The screen body 211 is installed inside the screen cover 212, which serves both installation and protection functions.

[0138] The signal receiving device 24 is integrated into the screen body 211, which can improve the structural compactness of the dot matrix screen 21. The signal receiving hole 2126 is formed on the screen cover 212, which can reduce the obstruction of signal transmission and facilitate the signal reception of the signal receiving device 24.

[0139] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the panel 1 has a clearance hole 114. The panel component 100 also includes a knob device 3. The knob device 3 includes a knob 30. The knob 30 is disposed opposite to the clearance hole 114 and can extend and retract relative to the panel 1 through the clearance hole 114.

[0140] This allows the knob 30 to be rotated when it extends out of the panel 1, and the panel 1 to protect the knob 30 when it retracts relative to the panel 1, reducing damage to the knob 30 from the external environment and improving the reliability of the knob device 3.

[0141] "Extension" can also be understood as a lifting and lowering movement along the penetration direction of the clearance hole 114. For example, the clearance hole 114 passes through the thickness direction of the panel 1, and the knob 30 can move relative to the thickness direction of the panel 1. The knob 30 rises towards the outside of the panel 1 along the thickness direction of the panel 1 and falls towards the inside of the panel 1 along the thickness direction of the panel 1.

[0142] For example, the panel component 100 is used for an air conditioner. The user rotates the knob 30 to adjust parameters such as temperature, fan speed, and mode of the air conditioner. These parameters are displayed visually on the display component 2, which can improve the user's adjustment accuracy and facilitate use.

[0143] For example, the knob 30 reciprocates between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the panel 1. When the knob 30 is in the extended position, the knob 30 may be completely protruding from the outer surface of the panel 1, or the knob 30 may be partially protruding from the outer surface of the panel 1. For example, when the knob 30 is in the extended position, the height difference between the outer surface of the knob 30 and the outer surface of the panel 1 is 5mm-20mm. When the knob 30 is in the retracted position, the outer surface of the knob 30 may be flush with the outer surface of the panel 1, or the surface of the knob 30 may be slightly lower than or slightly protruding from the outer surface of the panel 1. For example, when the knob 30 is in the retracted position, the height difference between the outer surface of the knob 30 and the outer surface of the panel 1 is no more than 4mm.

[0144] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 14 As shown, the knob device 3 further includes a driver 32a, which drives the knob 30 to extend and retract relative to the panel 1. The driver 32a provides power to drive the knob 30 to extend and retract relative to the panel 1.

[0145] For example, such as Figures 14-15 As shown, the driver 32a is disposed on the panel 1 (i.e. directly or indirectly mounted on the panel 1), and the driver 32a is in transmission cooperation with the knob 30 to drive the knob 30 to extend and retract relative to the driver 32a.

[0146] Or, for example, such as Figure 16 As shown, the driver 32a is disposed on the knob 30 (i.e. directly or indirectly mounted on the knob 30), and the driver 32a is in a transmission cooperation with the panel 1 to drive the knob device 3 as a whole to extend and retract relative to the panel 1.

[0147] The transmission method is not limited; for example, it can be mechanical transmission, such as gear transmission, belt transmission, chain transmission, screw transmission, etc. The driving power can be electric drive, hydraulic drive, pneumatic drive, etc. When the knob 30 moves through the clearance hole 114, the movement trajectory of the knob 30 is not limited; for example, it can move along a straight line, or it can move along a curve, etc.

[0148] Among them, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, when the driver 32a is disposed on the panel 1 and is in transmission cooperation with the knob 30 to drive the knob 30 to extend and retract relative to the driver 32a, the driver 32a is disposed on the panel 1, which makes the installation and wiring of the driver 32a convenient, and the area available for the driver 32a is large, which is convenient for the arrangement; and the driver 32a is disposed separately from the knob 30, so the driving force required for the extension and retraction of the knob 30 is lower, which can save driving force.

[0149] Among them, see Figure 16 When the driver 32a is located on the knob 30 and is in transmission cooperation with the panel 1 to drive the knob device 3 to extend and retract relative to the panel 1, no transmission structure is required between the driver 32a and the knob 30, thereby simplifying the construction of the knob 30 and allowing the knob 30 to be flexibly selected.

[0150] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the knob device 3 is located below the display component 2, and the panel 1 is also provided with a button device 4. The button device 4 is used to control the extension and retraction of the knob device 3, and the button device 4 is located below the knob device 3.

[0151] The knob device 3 is located below the display component 2. When the user rotates the knob, the display component 2 can be directly observed without obstructing the user's line of sight.

[0152] For example, the parameters adjusted by the user rotating the knob are directly displayed on the display component 2, and the user can directly observe the adjustment structure while rotating the knob, which is convenient to use.

[0153] For example, the button device 4 includes a button that can be touched to control the structure on the panel component 100. For example, touching the button can control the extension and retraction of the knob 30 to facilitate operation of the knob 30; touching the button can also wake up the display screen on the panel 1 to obtain information from the display screen; touching the button can also enable power on / off or one-click AI (Artificial Intelligence) function, etc., for ease of use.

[0154] The button device 4 is used to control the extension and retraction of the knob device 3. Touching the button will cause the knob to rise towards the user through the clearance hole for easy use. Touching the button again will cause the knob to fall back to the inside of the panel 1, protecting the knob and improving the overall integrity of the front side of the panel 1. By placing the button below the knob, the user's hand can be prevented from obstructing the knob's rise, thereby improving the working stability of the knob device 3.

[0155] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the panel 1 is also equipped with a button device 4, which is used to control the extension and retraction of the knob device 3, which can improve operability and help improve the working reliability of the knob.

[0156] For example, the panel component 100 is used in an air conditioner. The user touches a button to drive the knob to rise from the panel 1, and then rotates the knob to adjust parameters such as temperature, fan speed, and mode of the air conditioner, which improves the operability and interactivity of the air conditioner. After adjustment, touching the button again drives the knob to move to the inside of the panel 1. The panel 1 can protect the knob, reduce the interference of the external environment on the knob, and improve the working stability of the knob.

[0157] Furthermore, the panel component 100 according to the present utility model embodiment can also integrate devices such as a display screen, voice interaction, and remote control signal receiver, which will not be described in detail here.

[0158] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a panel component 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0159] The type of air conditioner is not limited. For example, it can be an integrated air conditioner, such as a kitchen air conditioner, a portable air conditioner, or a window air conditioner; it can also be a split air conditioner, such as a split wall-mounted unit, a split floor-standing unit, a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, or a built-in air conditioner.

[0160] The panel component 100 is located in the indoor part of the air conditioner. The user can directly observe the information on the panel component 100, and the user can drive the knob device 3 or button device 4 on the panel 1 to control the air conditioner.
