Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the 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 application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0019] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0020] In the description of this application, "several" means one or more, "more than" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0021] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, terms such as "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0022] In some cases, users can set the display information of the air conditioner through their mobile phones. However, users can only preview the set images and text through their mobile phones and cannot perceive the actual display effect of the set images and text on the air conditioner screen.

[0023] In addition, the following pain points are common among users when using air conditioners: As people's living habits and living environments continue to improve, people's living spaces are getting larger and larger. Small-screen air conditioners are not convenient for users to view device information in larger living spaces, and the information that can be displayed is relatively limited. There are more and more smart air conditioner products on the market, but the screens that users often see are not much different from those of traditional air conditioner products, and the information obtained through the screen is also very similar and lacks novelty.

[0024] The existing solutions have the following drawbacks: First, some air conditioners are equipped with touch screens similar to tablets to achieve richer display effects. However, these screens are coupled with the control system, displaying a lot of complex content. If the system freezes, it will affect the user's operation of the device. Furthermore, the need to simultaneously manage display and control leads to higher energy consumption. Second, many smart air conditioner products connect to the internet to display more information on other devices, such as mobile apps and central control screens. However, these display methods are inefficient, usually requiring users to unlock the screen and enter the specific device's operation page to view the information. Moreover, they cannot be viewed when the mobile phone or central control screen is not nearby.

[0025] Based on the above, this application provides a display component and an air conditioner, which are designed to synchronously display patterns set by the user in the air conditioner control application interface on the air conditioner screen, so that the user can directly perceive the actual display effect of the set patterns on the air conditioner screen.

[0026] The various embodiments of the display component of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is a circuit connection diagram between the communication module, the main controller, and the matrix display screen in a display component provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a front view of the structure of a display component provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a rear view of the structure of a display component provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0028] In one embodiment, this application also proposes a display component 200, including a communication module 230, a main controller 220, and a matrix display screen 210. The communication module 230 is used for communication connection with a mobile terminal, the main controller 220 is electrically connected to the communication module 230, and the matrix display screen 210 is electrically connected to the main controller 220. It can dynamically display color graphics and text, and the color graphics and text are the same as the settings in the mobile terminal.

[0029] Specifically, the display component 200 includes a communication module 230, a main controller 220, and a matrix display screen 210. These components are electrically connected to form a complete signal transmission and display link. The communication module 230 is responsible for establishing and maintaining a stable communication connection with the mobile terminal, enabling the transmission of settings. The main controller 220 is directly electrically connected to the communication module 230, undertaking core signal processing and control functions. After receiving the mobile terminal settings information transmitted by the communication module 230, it performs format parsing and adaptation conversion on the color graphic data and generates drive signals recognizable by the matrix display screen 210. The matrix display screen 210 is electrically connected to the main controller 220, serving as a visual output carrier. It can respond to the drive commands of the main controller 220, dynamically presenting color graphic content, and the displayed graphic style and color parameters are completely consistent with the user's preset settings in the mobile terminal, achieving precise synchronization from terminal settings to screen display.

[0030] Understandably, the display component 200 can be installed on an air conditioner or other electrical appliances.

[0031] In one embodiment, the matrix display screen 210 is a dot matrix screen.

[0032] Specifically, a dot matrix screen is a matrix display screen 210 that displays text and graphics based on a pixelated LED array. It is a grid-like display panel formed by a large number of independent LEDs 211 arranged in rows and columns. Each LED 211 can be individually controlled to turn on and off and switch colors. Through the collaborative work of LEDs 211 in different positions, various visual content such as text, graphics, and simple animations can be presented.

[0033] In one embodiment, the dot matrix screen includes a plurality of LED beads 211 arranged in a matrix, wherein: different LED beads 211 emit different colors; or, different LED beads 211 emit the same color.

[0034] Specifically, the dot matrix screen includes multiple LED beads 211 arranged in a matrix layout according to row and column rules. All LED beads 211 are arranged in an orderly manner to form a complete display panel. The light emission color configuration includes two optional schemes: one is to adopt a differentiated light emission color design between LED beads 211, that is, LED beads 211 in different positions in the matrix can emit different colors of light. By combining and lighting up LED beads 211 of different colors, rich color graphics and dynamic effects can be presented; the other is to adopt a unified light emission color design between LED beads 211, that is, the light emission color of all LED beads 211 in the matrix is ​​consistent. By combining the on and off states of LED beads 211, monochrome text, graphics or simple logos can be displayed.

[0035] In one embodiment, the main controller 220 and the communication module 230 are set separately; or, the main controller 220 and the communication module 230 are set together.

[0036] In one embodiment, the communication module 230 includes one of the following: a Bluetooth module; an infrared module; a WIFI module; an NFC module; or an RFID module.

[0037] In one embodiment, the display component 200 further includes a mounting member 240, in which the matrix display screen 210 is embedded.

[0038] Specifically, the display component 200, based on the communication module 230, main controller 220, and matrix display screen 210, adds a mounting component 240 for fixing and supporting the matrix display screen 210. Its structural adaptation design is as follows: The mounting component 240 serves as a dedicated mounting carrier for the matrix display screen 210, and adopts an embedded structure design that precisely matches the screen's outline and size. The matrix display screen 210 is assembled into the preset mounting position of the mounting component 240 by embedding. The display surface of the screen can be flush with or slightly protruding from the mounting surface of the mounting component 240 according to usage requirements. The mounting component 240 achieves stable positioning of the screen through snap-fit ​​fixing, threaded connection, or adhesive bonding, which can not only prevent the screen from shifting or loosening during use, but also protect the screen edges and back circuit structure. At the same time, it makes the overall structure of the display component 200 more regular, facilitating subsequent assembly and integration with terminal equipment such as air conditioners.

[0039] In one embodiment, a buffer is provided between the matrix display screen 210 and the mounting member 240, the buffer being arranged around the matrix display screen 210.

[0040] In one embodiment, a gap exists between the matrix display screen 210 and the mounting member 240, and the buffer member is embedded in the gap.

[0041] Specifically, the display component 200 adds a buffer at the assembly gap between the matrix display screen 210 and the mounting component 240. The buffer is made of flexible protective material and has an overall ring structure that matches the edge contour of the matrix display screen 210. It is continuously arranged around the four sides of the screen and fits perfectly in the gap area between the screen and the mounting component 240. One side of the buffer is tightly fitted to the edge surface of the matrix display screen 210, and the other side is seamlessly connected to the inner wall of the embedded mounting position of the mounting component 240. By filling the assembly gap between the two in a ring-shaped manner, it can absorb the impact force generated by external vibration and collision, avoid damage to the LED beads 211 or poor circuit contact due to force on the screen, compensate for assembly errors, ensure the stable positioning of the screen in the mounting component 240, and also play an auxiliary role in dust prevention and sealing, further improving the structural reliability and service life of the display component 200.

[0042] It is understood that the aforementioned cushioning material can be silicone, foam, or rubber, and this application does not specifically limit it in this way.

[0043] In one embodiment, the mounting member 240 is provided with a surrounding wall 241, which forms a mounting cavity. The matrix display screen 210 is embedded in the mounting cavity. The surrounding wall 241 is provided with an opening 242 for installing a connection cable 250 between the matrix display screen 210 and the main controller 220.

[0044] Specifically, the mounting component 240 of the display assembly 200 is provided with a surrounding wall 241. The surrounding wall 241 is formed by integral molding or splicing to create a mounting cavity that is precisely adapted to the size of the matrix display screen 210. The depth, length and width of the mounting cavity are perfectly matched with the thickness and outline of the screen, ensuring that the matrix display screen 210 can be stably embedded and fit against the inner wall of the mounting cavity for fixed assembly. At the same time, an opening 242 penetrating through the inside and outside is provided on one side wall of the surrounding wall 241. The diameter and shape of the opening 242 are adapted to the thickness and interface type of the connecting line 250 between the matrix display screen 210 and the main controller 220. One end of the connecting line 250 is connected to the interface on the back of the matrix display screen 210, and the other end passes through the opening 242 on the surrounding wall 241 and is electrically connected to the main controller 220.

[0045] It should be understood that in this application, "at least one (item)" means one or more, and "more than" means two or more. "And / or" is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent three cases: only A exists, only B exists, and both A and B exist simultaneously, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.
