[0026] The panel structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-6 , Figure 11 As shown, the panel structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: a panel assembly 10 and a display assembly 20.

[0028] Specifically, the display component 20 is connected to the panel component 10, allowing the display component 20 to be mounted on the panel component 10 to meet the required installation needs. The display component 20 is equipped with an ambient light 23, located on the side of the display component 20 facing the panel component 10. The ambient light 23 facilitates easy adjustment of the air conditioner 200 at night, meeting usage needs and enhancing the technological feel and ease of use of the air conditioner 200.

[0029] Meanwhile, by setting the ambient light 23 on the display component 20, for example, by setting the ambient light 23 directly on the display panel of the display component 20, the ambient light 23 can be assembled on the panel component 10 simply by installing the display component 20. There is no need to install the ambient light 23 separately. This avoids the problems of complex assembly structure caused by separately assembling the ambient light 23 on the panel component in related technologies, thereby reducing assembly steps, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0030] In some embodiments, the ambient light 23 can switch to different colors according to different operating modes of the air conditioner 200 to present an intuitive lighting effect. For example, when the air conditioner 200 is in cooling mode, the ambient light 23 can switch to blue; when the air conditioner 200 is in heating mode, the ambient light 23 can switch to red; and when the air conditioner 200 is in humidification mode, the ambient light 23 can switch to green.

[0031] According to the panel structure 100 of this utility model embodiment, the display component 20 is connected to the panel component 10. The display component 20 is provided with an ambient light 23, which is located on the side of the display component 20 facing the panel component 10. The ambient light 23 can enhance the technological feel and ease of use of the air conditioner 200. Moreover, the ambient light 23 can be assembled on the panel component 10 simply by installing the display component 20, without the need for additional installation of the ambient light 23. This reduces assembly steps, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the panel assembly 10 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart snap-fit ​​structures 11, which are snap-fitted to the display assembly 20, thereby enabling the connection between the display assembly 20 and the panel assembly 10, ensuring a reliable connection between the panel assembly 10 and the display assembly 20, and facilitating disassembly.

[0033] In embodiments of this utility model, the number of snap-fit ​​structures 11 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the snap-fit ​​structures 11 can be as follows: Figure 2 The number shown is four, but it can also be two, three, five, six or more, all of which are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the panel assembly 10 is provided with a plurality of clearance holes 12, and the plurality of clearance holes 12 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of snap-fit ​​structures 11. The clearance holes 12 are located on the outer periphery of the display assembly 20. The snap-fit ​​structure 11 is opposite to the clearance hole 12 and one end is connected to the inner wall of the clearance hole 12. The end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 away from the inner wall of the clearance hole 12 is movable along the depth direction of the clearance hole 12. The snap-fit ​​structure 11 abuts against the end face of the display assembly 20 away from the panel assembly 10.

[0035] Therefore, when the display component 20 faces the panel component 10, the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 facing away from the inner wall of the clearance hole 12 is driven by the display component 20 and moves away from the display component 20 along the depth direction of the clearance hole 12. This allows the snap-fit ​​structure 11 to avoid the display component 20, facilitating the movement of the display component 20. When the display component 20 is in a fixed position, the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 facing away from the inner wall of the clearance hole 12 moves towards the display component 20 along the depth direction of the clearance hole 12. This causes the snap-fit ​​structure 11 to abut against the end face of the display component 20 away from the panel component 10, thereby achieving the connection between the display component 20 and the panel component 10 and ensuring that the display component 20 is reliably fixed on the panel component 10.

[0036] Meanwhile, the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 that is away from the inner wall of the clearance hole 12 can move along the depth direction of the clearance hole 12, so that the display component 20 can be assembled in a straight up and down manner. That is, the display component 20 does not need to be tilted during assembly, which makes it easier to assemble the display component 20. This avoids the problem in related technologies where one end of the display component is fixed on the panel component and the other end is pushed toward the panel component, resulting in a large space occupation. It can make reasonable use of the internal space of the panel component 10 and ensure a compact structure.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 has a guide slope 111 on the side opposite to the display component 20. The guide slope 111 is inclined towards the display component 20 in the direction from the edge to the center of the display component 20. Therefore, during the assembly of the display component 20, the guide slope 111 can guide the movement of the display component 20, avoiding problems such as installation misalignment, making the assembly of the display component 20 convenient and improving assembly efficiency. It also facilitates the movement of the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 opposite to the inner wall of the clearance hole 12 along the depth direction of the clearance hole 12, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to manufacture and reduces production costs.

[0038] In the embodiments of this utility model, the specific structure of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 and the clearance hole 12 are located away from the hole wall of the display component 20 (e.g., Figure 3 The connection (shown as the rear wall) facilitates the movement of the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 away from the inner wall of the clearance hole 12 along the depth direction of the clearance hole 12. The structure is simple, occupies little space, is easy to process and manufacture, and helps to reduce production costs.

[0040] Or, such as Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 includes an extension 112 and a stop portion 113. One end of the extension 112 is connected to the clearance hole 12 along the width direction of the panel assembly 10 (e.g., Figure 2 The extension 112 is connected to one side of the hole wall (shown in the left-right direction), and extends along the width direction of the panel assembly 10. The stop 113 is connected to the other end of the extension 112, and extends towards the display assembly 20, so that the stop 113 abuts against the end face of the display assembly 20 away from the panel assembly 10, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the snap-fit ​​structure 11 and the display assembly 20. The snap-fit ​​structure 11 has high structural strength, ensuring reliable snap-fit ​​connection to the display assembly 20.

[0041] In addition, the guide slope 111 is provided on the stop portion 113, which facilitates the guide slope 111 to guide the movement of the display component 20, which is beneficial to improve assembly efficiency and facilitates the display component 20 to push the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 11 away from the inner wall of the avoidance hole 12 to move along the depth direction of the avoidance hole 12. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and is beneficial to reduce production costs.

[0042] It should be noted that, for ease of description, the directions such as "front," "rear," "left," and "right" in this utility model are based on the orientation relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are not limitations on the orientation in actual application.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 includes a support portion located on one side of the clearance hole 12 along the width direction of the panel assembly 10. The end of the extension portion 112 away from the stop portion 113 is connected to the support portion. The support portion can abut against the outer peripheral wall of the display assembly 20. The support portion facilitates the limiting of the display assembly 20, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency. Moreover, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 has a simple structure and is easy to process and manufacture.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the multiple snap-fit ​​structures 11 include a first snap-fit ​​member 31 and a second snap-fit ​​member 33. The first snap-fit ​​member 31 is located above the display component 20, and the second snap-fit ​​member 33 is located below the display component 20. The multiple clearance holes 12 include a first clearance hole 32 and a second clearance hole 34. The first clearance hole 32 corresponds to the first snap-fit ​​member 31, and the second clearance hole 34 corresponds to the second snap-fit ​​member 33. Thus, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 can snap onto the upper end of the display component 20, and the second snap-fit ​​member 33 can snap onto the lower end of the display component 20, ensuring that the display component 20 is reliably fixed on the panel component 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple first snap-fit ​​connectors 31, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the panel assembly 10. Multiple first snap-fit ​​connectors 31 can snap-fit ​​multiple different positions of the display assembly 20 to ensure that the display assembly 20 is reliably fixed on the panel assembly 10.

[0046] In embodiments of this utility model, the number of first card connectors 31 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of first card connectors 31 can be as follows: Figure 2 The number shown is two, but it can also be three, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, there are multiple second snap-fit ​​pieces 33, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the panel assembly 10. Multiple second snap-fit ​​pieces 33 can snap-fit ​​multiple different positions of the display assembly 20 to ensure that the display assembly 20 is reliably fixed on the panel assembly 10.

[0048] In embodiments of this utility model, the number of second card connectors 33 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of second card connectors 33 can be as follows: Figure 2 The number shown is two, but it can also be three, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown, the ambient light 23 is crescent-shaped and located around the temperature display (e.g., double octave) on the display component 20, which can meet the required display needs. However, because the ambient light 23 is set on the display component 20, the height of the display component 20 is increased, which restricts the upper structure of the panel component 10.

[0050] Therefore, as Figure 2 As shown, the first latching member 31 is connected to the wall of the first clearance hole 32 away from the display component 20. The first latching member 31 achieves latching onto the upper end of the display component 20. The first latching member 31 has a simple structure, occupies little space, and meets the setting requirements of the limited upper structure of the panel assembly 10. The second latching member 33 includes an extension 112 and a stop 113. One end of the extension 112 is connected to one side wall of the clearance hole 12 along the width direction of the panel assembly 10, and the extension 112 extends along the width direction of the panel assembly 10. The stop 113 is connected to the other end of the extension 112, and the stop 113 extends towards the display component 20, so that the stop 113 abuts against the end face of the display component 20 away from the panel assembly 10, realizing the latching connection between the second latching member 33 and the display component 20, and has good structural strength.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 As shown, the upper end face of the panel assembly 10 is provided with a groove 13. The groove 13 extends along the width direction of the panel assembly 10. By providing the groove 13 on the upper end face of the panel assembly 10, the material used in the panel assembly 10 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing production costs and reducing the overall weight of the panel assembly 10, making it easier to transport.

[0052] In addition, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the multiple snap-fit ​​structures 11 include a first snap-fit ​​member 31, which is located above the display component 20. Multiple clearance holes 12 include a first clearance hole 32, which corresponds to the first snap-fit ​​member 31, enabling the first snap-fit ​​member 31 to snap onto the upper end of the display component 20, ensuring a reliable connection. The first clearance hole 32 is located on the bottom wall of the groove 13. A water-blocking rib 131 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 13, surrounding the first clearance hole 32. The water-blocking rib 131 effectively blocks liquid, preventing water from overflowing into the air conditioner 200 when there is water on the top of the panel component 10. This meets the waterproofing requirements of the top of the panel component 10, ensuring the safety of the air conditioner 200. For example, the liquid is water.

[0053] In some embodiments, a top cover is provided above the panel assembly 10, which can block liquid and achieve the first layer of safety protection. A water-blocking rib 131 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 13, which surrounds the first clearance hole 32. The water-blocking rib 131 can further block liquid and form a second layer of safety protection to ensure the safety of the air conditioner 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the groove 13 is provided with multiple (two or more) spaced reinforcing ribs 132. The multiple reinforcing ribs 132 can increase the structural strength of the top of the panel assembly 10, thereby ensuring the high structural strength of the air conditioner 200.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown, the height of the water-blocking rib 131 is higher than the height of the reinforcing rib 132. When liquid enters the groove 13, the liquid can preferentially overflow in the circumferential direction of the groove 13 through the reinforcing rib 132, preventing the liquid located between the water-blocking rib 131 and the reinforcing rib 132 from directly entering the air conditioner 200 through the water-blocking rib 131, and further ensuring that the top of the panel assembly 10 is waterproof.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, a connecting rib 133 connects the water-blocking rib 131 and the groove sidewall of the groove 13. The connecting rib 133 can improve the structural strength between the water-blocking rib 131 and the groove sidewall of the groove 13, thereby increasing the structural strength of the top of the panel assembly 10 and avoiding problems such as deformation of the water-blocking rib 131, thus ensuring good structural strength.

[0057] In addition, such as Figure 10As shown, the connecting rib 133 is provided with an overflow groove 134. The overflow groove 134 penetrates the connecting rib 133 along the thickness direction of the connecting rib 133. The overflow groove 134 allows liquid on both sides of the water-blocking rib 131 to overflow through, preventing liquid on either side of the water-blocking rib 131 from exceeding the water-blocking rib 131 and directly entering the air conditioner 200 through the water-blocking rib 131, further ensuring that the top of the panel assembly 10 is waterproof.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the panel assembly 10 and the display assembly 20 are connected by fasteners, which ensures a reliable connection between the panel assembly 10 and the display assembly 20 and facilitates disassembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. For example, the fasteners can be screws.

[0059] In some embodiments where multiple spaced-apart snap-fit ​​structures 11 are provided on the panel assembly 10, the display component 20 can be pre-fixed to the panel assembly 10 through the multiple snap-fit ​​structures 11, and the display component 20 and the panel assembly 10 can be further fixed by fasteners, ensuring that the display component 20 is reliably fixed to the panel assembly 10, preventing the snap-fit ​​structures 11 from falling off, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the display component 20 and the panel assembly 10, and improving assembly efficiency. For example, fasteners can be inserted through the lower end of the display component 20 to fix it to the panel assembly 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the panel assembly 10 includes a panel bracket 101 with a clearance opening 14. The display component 20 is opposite to the clearance opening 14 and is connected to the panel bracket 101, which can meet the connection requirements between the display component 20 and the panel assembly 10. The clearance opening 14 allows the display lights and ambient lights 23 on the display component 20 to be exposed from the panel bracket 101, making it easy for users to view them. The clearance opening 14 has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and helps to reduce production costs.

[0061] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, panel assembly 10 includes display panel 102, which is located on the side of panel support 101 away from display assembly 20 (e.g., Figure 6 As shown in the front side), the display panel 102 blocks and avoids the opening 14. The display panel 102 is connected to the panel bracket 101, which can meet the connection requirements of the display panel 102 and the panel bracket 101. The display panel 102 can protect the display component 20, avoid the display component 20 from being exposed and damaged, and help extend the service life of the panel structure 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the display component 20 includes a display module 21 and a connecting cover 22. The display module 21 has an indicator light and an ambient light 23. The indicator light and ambient light 23 can meet the lighting display requirements of the air conditioner 200. At least a part of the display module 21 is located inside the connecting cover 22. The connecting cover 22 is connected to the panel assembly 10, which can meet the connection requirements between the display component 20 and the panel assembly 10. The display panel 102 and the connecting cover 22 can protect the display module, prevent the display module from being exposed and damaged, and help extend the service life of the display module.

[0063] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the end face of the display panel 102 facing the panel support 101 (e.g.) Figure 6 The front face shown is provided with a plurality of spaced hooks 41, and the panel bracket 101 is provided with a plurality of slots 42. The plurality of slots 42 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of hooks 41. By having the plurality of hooks 41 respectively locked into the plurality of slots 42, the display panel 102 and the panel bracket 101 can be connected, which facilitates the positioning of the display panel 102 on the panel bracket 101, and the assembly is simple, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency and facilitates disassembly.

[0064] In embodiments of this utility model, the number of hooks 41 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of hooks 41 can be as follows: Figure 6 The number shown is two, but it can also be three, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the protection scope of this utility model.
