[0035] 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.

[0036] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 A panel assembly 20 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] like Figures 1-8 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the panel assembly 20 is used to cover the opening of the mounting cavity of the furniture cabinet 200, the mounting cavity being suitable for placing the main unit 10 of the air conditioner 100.

[0038] Specifically, the panel assembly 20 includes a panel 21, on which a panel air inlet 22 and a panel air outlet 23 are formed, which extend through the panel 21 in the front-to-back direction. The panel 21 is an integrally molded part.

[0039] The main unit 10 has a main unit air duct and a main unit air inlet 11 and a main unit air outlet 12 connected to the main unit air duct. The panel assembly 20 is located on the front side of the main unit 10. The panel air inlet 22 is connected to the main unit air inlet 11, and the panel air outlet 23 is connected to the main unit air outlet 12.

[0040] During the operation of the air conditioner 100, the airflow enters the main unit air inlet 11 from the panel air inlet 22, and then the main unit 10 acts on the airflow. The airflow after being acted on by the main unit 10 is blown into the surrounding environment from the main unit air outlet 12 through the panel air outlet 23, thus completing the operation process of the air conditioner 100.

[0041] The main unit 10 can be installed independently in the space outside the furniture cabinet 200, or it can be installed together with the panel 21 into the mounting cavity of the furniture cabinet 200. During the installation of the air conditioner 100 into the mounting cavity, the main unit 10 is first installed, and then the panel assembly 20 is installed on the front side of the main unit 10 to seal the opening of the mounting cavity. After the air conditioner 100 is installed into the mounting cavity of the furniture cabinet 200, the furniture cabinet 200 and the air conditioner 100 can share some space, saving space occupied by the furniture cabinet 200 and the air conditioner 100 in the arrangement environment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] It is understandable that during user operation, foreign objects may come into contact with or enter the main unit 10, and rodents or other small animals in the environment where the air conditioner 100 is used may enter the main unit 10, potentially causing damage. By installing the air conditioner 100 into the mounting cavity of the furniture cabinet 200 and sealing the opening of the mounting cavity with the panel assembly 20, the furniture cabinet 200 and the panel assembly 20 can protect the air conditioner 100, preventing foreign objects or rodents from contacting the main unit 10. This reduces the probability of damage to the air conditioner 100 during operation and improves its reliability.

[0043] During the use of the air conditioner 100, the user's furniture cabinet 200 will have various sizes. As those skilled in the art can understand, changing the size of the panel 21 is relatively easy. During the product design process, the size of the panel 21 can be adjusted to block the openings of furniture cabinets 200 of different sizes. In this way, the difficulty of adapting the air conditioner 100 to the furniture cabinet 200 can be reduced.

[0044] During the production of panel 21, one-piece molding is less difficult and more efficient, reducing production costs. Furthermore, the one-piece molded panel 21 has higher structural strength, making it easier to ensure its structural strength meets usage requirements during product design, thus reducing design complexity. During panel 21 installation, the one-piece molding process requires fewer steps, improving installation efficiency.

[0045] Preferably, the panel 21 is bonded to the inner wall of the mounting cavity or connected by screws.

[0046] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the panel assembly 20 can seal the opening of the mounting cavity, preventing foreign objects or rodents from entering the mounting cavity and causing damage to the main unit 10, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100 during operation. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the panel 21, the openings of furniture cabinets 200 of different sizes can be sealed, reducing the difficulty of adapting the air conditioner 100 to the furniture cabinet 200. By producing the panel 21 in one piece, the production difficulty of the panel 21 can be reduced, the structural strength of the panel 21 can be improved, and the installation efficiency of the air conditioner 100 can be increased.

[0047] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 An air conditioner 100 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0048] An air conditioner 100 according to a second aspect of the present invention is adapted to be arranged in the mounting cavity of a furniture cabinet 200, the front side of the mounting cavity being open to form an opening, and the air conditioner includes: a main unit 10 and the panel assembly described above according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0049] Specifically, the main unit 10 has a main unit air duct and a main unit air inlet 11 and a main unit air outlet 12 connected to the main unit air duct. The panel assembly 20 is located on the front side of the main unit 10. The panel air inlet 22 is connected to the main unit air inlet 11, and the panel air outlet 23 is connected to the main unit air outlet 12.

[0050] The panel assembly 20 seals the opening of the mounting cavity. The furniture cabinet 200 and the panel assembly 20 can protect the air conditioner 100, prevent foreign objects or rodents from contacting the main unit 10, and reduce the probability of the air conditioner 100 being damaged during operation.

[0051] During the product design process, the size of panel 21 can be adjusted to block the openings of furniture cabinets 200 of different sizes, thus reducing the difficulty of adapting air conditioner 100 to furniture cabinet 200.

[0052] According to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention, by providing the panel assembly 20 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the reliability of the air conditioner 100 during operation can be improved, and the difficulty of adapting the air conditioner 100 to the furniture cabinet 200 can be reduced.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the length of panel 21 is 1500mm-3000mm. For example, the length of panel 21 can be 1500mm, 1800mm, 1900mm, 2400mm, or 3000mm, and the width of panel 21 is greater than or equal to 100mm. For example, the width of panel 21 can be 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, or 1000mm. During the product design process, the size of panel 21 can be adjusted to meet more product design needs.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 or Figure 8 As shown, the main unit air inlet 11 is located on one side of the main unit 10 in the left-right direction. The main unit air inlet 11 extends from the side of the main unit 10 to the front end of the main unit 10. The panel air inlet 22 is connected to the main unit air inlet 11 through the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0055] During the operation of the air conditioner 100, the airflow in the surrounding environment enters the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity through the panel air inlet 22. Under the action of negative pressure inside the main unit 10, the airflow between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity enters the main unit 10 through the main unit air inlet 11. After the main unit 10 acts on the airflow, the airflow is blown into the surrounding environment from the main unit air outlet 12 and the panel air outlet 23, thus realizing the operation process of the air conditioner 100.

[0056] It is understandable that the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity provides operating space for the operator during installation, thereby further reducing the installation difficulty. Furthermore, the panel air inlet 22 is connected to the main unit air inlet 11 through the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity. During installation, the positional accuracy requirement of the main unit 10 in the mounting cavity is relatively low, thereby further reducing the installation difficulty.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, the main unit air outlet 12 is located at the front end of the main unit 10 and is arranged at intervals from the main unit air inlet 11. The periphery of the air outlet end of the main unit air outlet 12 is in contact with the periphery of the air inlet end of the panel air outlet 23.

[0058] During the operation of the air conditioner 100, the airflow in the surrounding environment enters the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity through the panel air inlet 22. Under the action of negative pressure inside the main unit 10, the airflow between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity enters the main unit 10 through the main unit air inlet 11. After the main unit 10 acts on the airflow, the airflow passes through the main unit air outlet 12 and enters the panel air outlet 23, and then is blown into the surrounding environment from the panel air outlet 23. Thus, the operation process of the air conditioner 100 is realized.

[0059] Among them, the periphery of the air outlet 12 of the main unit fits with the periphery of the air inlet 23 of the panel, and the sealing performance between the air outlet 12 of the main unit and the air outlet 23 of the panel is good. During the process of the airflow after the main unit 10 is activated and blown out from the air outlet 12 of the main unit and the air outlet 23 of the panel, the proportion of the airflow after the main unit 10 is activated and blown into the surrounding environment can be increased, thereby improving the effect of the main unit 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the main unit air duct includes: a first air duct 13 and a second air duct, the first air duct 13 and the second air duct are arranged vertically at intervals, and the air conditioner 100 also includes: a heat exchanger 14, a first impeller 15, a purification module and a second impeller, the heat exchanger 14 and the first impeller 15 are both disposed in the first air duct 13, the purification module and the second impeller are both disposed in the second air duct, and the purification module is used to purify the airflow passing through the second air duct.

[0061] During the operation of the air conditioner 100, the rotation of the first impeller 15 and the second impeller generates negative pressure inside the main unit 10. Under the action of negative pressure, the airflow in the surrounding environment enters the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity from the panel air inlet 22. Then, the airflow enters the first air duct 13 and the second air duct from the main unit air inlet 11 respectively.

[0062] In the process of the airflow in the first air duct 13 passing through the heat exchanger 14, it will exchange heat with the heat exchanger 14. The airflow after heat exchange flows along the first air duct 13 and is blown into the surrounding environment from the air outlet 12 of the main unit and the air outlet 23 of the panel. Thus, the temperature regulation function of the air conditioner 100 can be realized.

[0063] As the airflow passes through the purification module within the second air duct, the purification module purifies the airflow. The purified airflow then flows along the second air duct and exits through the main unit's air outlet 12 and the panel's air outlet 23 into the surrounding environment. This enables the air conditioner 100 to perform its air purification function. The purification module may include components such as a filter screen, filter element, or sterilization element.

[0064] The first air duct 13 can be located above or below the second air duct. When the first air duct 13 is located above the second air duct, the heat-exchanging airflow can be blown out from above during the operation of the air conditioner 100. In this way, under the action of gravity, the heat-exchanged airflow can move towards the surrounding area more quickly, thereby making the surrounding ambient temperature more uniform and improving the user experience.

[0065] When the first air duct 13 is located below the second air duct, during the operation of the air conditioner 100, the heat exchange airflow can be blown out from below. In this way, in the front area of ​​the air conditioner 100, the heat exchange airflow can come into contact with the user more quickly, allowing the user to quickly feel the temperature change, thereby improving the user experience.

[0066] It should be noted that during the operation of the air conditioner 100, the first fan wheel 15 and the second fan wheel can work together, or the first fan wheel 15 and the second fan wheel can work independently.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, the main unit air inlet 11 includes a first air inlet 111 and a second air inlet 112, which are arranged vertically at intervals. The main unit air outlet 12 includes a first air outlet 121 and a second air outlet 122, which are arranged vertically at intervals. The first air inlet 111 and the first air outlet 121 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first air duct 13, and the second air inlet 112 and the second air outlet 122 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second air duct.

[0068] During the operation of the air conditioner 100, the airflow entering from the panel air inlet 22 enters the first air duct 13 from the first air inlet 111 and the second air duct from the second air inlet 112. After heat exchange in the heat exchanger 14, the airflow in the first air duct 13 is blown into the surrounding environment from the first air outlet 121 and the panel air outlet 23. After purification by the purification module, the airflow in the second air duct enters and exits the surrounding environment from the second air outlet 122 and the panel air outlet 23.

[0069] Therefore, during the operation of the air conditioner 100, there is less interference between the air intake and exhaust of the first air duct 13 and the second air duct, which allows for better control of the airflow parameters within the first air duct 13 and the second air duct. This improves the degree of conformity between the actual operating conditions of the air conditioner 100 and the set mode, further enhancing the user experience.

[0070] Preferably, both the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 112 are provided with air guide grilles, so that the direction of the airflow in the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 112 can be adjusted, and the uniformity of the airflow in the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 112 can be improved.

[0071] A guide vane is provided at the first air outlet 121. The guide vane can adjust the direction of the airflow from the first air outlet 121, thereby improving the uniformity of the airflow. In addition, the first air outlet 121 has a large area. When the guide vane is rotated to its limit position, it can block the first air outlet 121, thereby further reducing the probability of foreign objects or rodents entering the host 10 and causing damage to the host 10. A guide grille is provided at the second air outlet 122. Thus, the direction of the airflow from the second air outlet 122 can be adjusted, and the uniformity of the airflow from the second air outlet 122 can be improved.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first air inlet 111 is larger than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the second air inlet 112, and the first air inlet 111 is a strip-shaped opening extending vertically.

[0073] It is understandable that users have greater demand for temperature regulation when using air conditioner 100. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first air inlet 111 is larger than that of the second air inlet 112. During the operation of air conditioner 100, the air intake in the first air duct 13 can be greater than that in the second air duct, so that the first air outlet 121 blows out enough heat exchange air to regulate the temperature of the surrounding environment and meet the user's needs.

[0074] By setting the first air inlet 111 as a strip-shaped opening extending vertically, the avoidance area of ​​the first air inlet 111 on the main unit 10 is also strip-shaped. It is understandable that the edge area of ​​the strip-shaped notch has higher strength. In this way, it is easier to make the structural strength of the main unit 10 meet the usage requirements, thereby further reducing the difficulty of product design.

[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, the panel air inlet 22 includes a third air inlet 221 and a fourth air inlet 222. The third air inlet 221 and the fourth air inlet 222 are arranged vertically at intervals, and the upper and lower ends of the third air inlet 221 extend beyond the upper and lower ends of the first air inlet 111, and the upper and lower ends of the fourth air inlet 222 extend beyond the upper and lower ends of the second air inlet 112. The flow cross-sectional area of ​​the third air inlet 221 is larger than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the fourth air inlet 222, and the third air inlet 221 is a strip-shaped opening that extends vertically.

[0076] During the operation of the air conditioner 100, the airflow entering the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity from the third air inlet 221 will be at the top of the space. Under the action of negative pressure in the first air duct 13, most of this airflow can enter the first air duct 13. The airflow entering the space between the main unit air inlet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity from the fourth air inlet 222 will be at the bottom of the space. Under the action of negative pressure in the second air duct, most of this airflow can enter the second air duct. Thus, the accuracy of airflow control in the first air duct 13 and the second air duct can be further improved. Furthermore, the third air inlet 221 and the fourth air inlet 222 can initially guide the airflow and improve the uniformity of the airflow entering the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 112.

[0077] Preferably, both the third air inlet 221 and the fourth air inlet 222 are provided with air guide grilles. This allows for adjustment of the airflow direction at the third air inlet 221 and the fourth air inlet 222, and also improves the uniformity of the airflow at the third air inlet 221 and the fourth air inlet 222.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, the panel air outlet 23 includes a third air outlet 231 and a fourth air outlet 232, which are arranged vertically at intervals. The periphery of the air outlet end of the first air outlet 121 is in contact with the periphery of the air inlet end of the third air outlet 231, and the periphery of the second air outlet 122 is in contact with the periphery of the fourth air outlet 232.

[0079] Therefore, during the operation of the air conditioner 100, the airflow exiting the main unit 10 from the first air outlet 121 will be blown into the surrounding environment from the third air outlet 231, and the airflow exiting the main unit 10 from the second air outlet 122 will be blown into the environment of the main unit 10 from the fourth air outlet 232. This further reduces the interference between the heat exchange airflow and the purification airflow, thereby further improving the consistency between the actual operating conditions of the air conditioner 100 and the set mode, and enhancing the user experience.

[0080] Preferably, a guide vane is provided at the third air outlet 231. The guide vane can adjust the direction of the airflow at the third air outlet 231, improving the uniformity of the airflow. Furthermore, since the third air outlet 231 has a large area, the guide vane can block the third air outlet 231 when rotated to its limit position, thereby further reducing the probability of foreign objects or rodents entering the host 10 and causing damage to the host 10. A guide grille is provided at the fourth air outlet 232, which can adjust the direction of the airflow at the fourth air outlet 232 and improve the uniformity of the airflow at the fourth air outlet 232.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first air outlet 121 is larger than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the second air outlet 122, and the first air outlet 121 is a strip-shaped opening extending vertically.

[0082] Therefore, the air volume of the first air outlet 121 can be matched with the air volume of the first air inlet 111, so that the air conditioner 100 can output a sufficient airflow to meet the user's temperature regulation needs. In particular, by setting the first air outlet 121 as a strip-shaped opening that extends vertically, and the avoidance area of ​​the first air outlet 121 on the main unit 10 is also strip-shaped, it can be understood that the edge area of ​​the strip-shaped notch has higher strength. In this way, it is easier to make the structural strength of the main unit 10 meet the usage requirements, thereby further reducing the difficulty of product design.

[0083] The furniture assembly 1000 according to the third aspect of the present invention includes: a furniture cabinet 200 and the air conditioner 100 according to the second aspect of the present invention.

[0084] Specifically, the furniture cabinet 200 has a mounting cavity with its front side open to form an opening, the air conditioner 100 is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the panel assembly 20 is arranged at the opening.

[0085] During the user installation process, the furniture cabinet 200 is placed in the designated position, then the main unit 10 is placed in the installation cavity, and then the panel assembly 20 is installed at the opening of the installation cavity to seal the opening of the installation cavity.
