[0080] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0081] The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] 1-12 , an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing assembly 10, a heat exchange and air supply assembly 50, and a display panel assembly 100. The housing assembly 10 has an air inlet 31 and an air outlet 23, and the heat exchange and air supply assembly 50 is disposed within the housing assembly 10. During operation of the air conditioner, external air enters the interior of the housing assembly 10 through the air inlet 31, exchanges heat with the heat exchange and air supply assembly 50, and then flows out of the air outlet 23 into the room. The outflowing air, after heat exchange processing in the heat exchange and air supply assembly 50, has the effect of regulating the air temperature, thereby enabling the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner.

[0083] The heat exchange and air supply assembly 50 may include a heat exchanger component 51 and an air duct component 52. The heat exchanger component 51 may include a heat exchanger bracket 511 and a heat exchanger 512. The heat exchanger 512 is installed on the heat exchanger bracket 511. The air duct component 52 includes an air duct shell 521, a wind wheel 522 and a motor 523. The wind wheel 522 is arranged in the air duct shell 521. The motor 523 is installed in the air duct shell 521 and is connected to the wind wheel 522 to drive the wind wheel 522 to rotate. When the wind wheel 522 rotates, it can drive the external air into the interior of the casing assembly 10 through the air inlet 31. The air entering the casing assembly 10 is blown out to the room from the air outlet 23 after heat exchange with the heat exchanger 512.

[0084] Furthermore, the heat exchanger component 51 may also include an electric auxiliary heater 513 , which is installed on the heat exchanger bracket 511 . When the air conditioner is heating, the electric auxiliary heater 513 may be turned on to improve the heating efficiency.

[0085] The display panel assembly 100 is provided on the housing assembly 10 . The display panel assembly 100 can display parameters of the air conditioner during operation. For example, the display panel assembly 100 can display the indoor temperature and the set temperature, the working mode of the air conditioner, the wind speed of the air conditioner, etc.

[0086] The display panel assembly 100 includes a display module 103 and a display control module 90 that are electrically connected. The air conditioner also includes an electrical control box 15, and the display control module 90 can be electrically connected to the air conditioner's electrical control box 15. The display module 103 is electrically connected to the display control module 90, which is electrically connected to the air conditioner's electrical control box 15. The display control module 90 can control the display of the display module 103.

[0087] By independently mounting the display module 103 and the display control module 90 in the housing assembly 10, the display control module 90 that can be independently mounted in the housing assembly 10 has high compatibility. Different air conditioners can use the same display control module 90, and only the display module 103 needs to be replaced. This allows for universal design and production of the display control module 90, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. In addition, the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are independently mounted in the housing assembly 10. This installation method is highly flexible and can reasonably arrange the installation position of the display control module 90 based on the specific conditions of the internal space of the housing assembly 10, thereby fully utilizing the space within the housing assembly 10 and making the overall structure of the air conditioner more compact.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the air conditioner of the present application, the display panel assembly 100 of the air conditioner includes a display module 103 and a display control module 90, and the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are independently mounted on the housing 11. The independently mounted display control module 90 has high compatibility, enabling universal design and production of the display control module 90, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. In addition, the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are independently mounted on the housing assembly 10. This installation method is highly flexible and can fully utilize the space inside the housing assembly 10, making the overall structure of the air conditioner more compact.

[0089] 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the display module 103 is spaced apart from the display control module 90. This separation of the display module 103 from the display control module 90 can further enhance the installation flexibility of the display panel assembly 100, fully utilize the space inside the housing assembly 10, improve space utilization, and make the overall structure inside the air conditioner more compact.

[0090] 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. Compared to other arrangements, the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, which offers greater flexibility and can fully utilize the space inside the housing assembly 10 in the front-to-back direction, thereby improving space utilization and making the overall structure inside the air conditioner more compact. This avoids the display module 103 and the display control module 90 being closely positioned in the front-to-back direction, resulting in a larger size of the display panel assembly 100 in the front-to-back direction, thereby interfering with other components inside the housing assembly 10 and making arrangement and assembly more difficult.

[0091] 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are placed parallel to each other in the front-to-back direction. By placing the display module 103 and the display control module 90 parallel to each other in the front-to-back direction, the space inside the housing assembly 10 can be fully utilized, space utilization can be improved, and the overall structure inside the air conditioner can be more compact. At the same time, the difficulty of electrically connecting the display module 103 and the display control module 90 can be reduced. For example, the display module 103 and the display control module 90 are electrically connected via a wiring harness. By placing the display module 103 and the display control module 90 parallel to each other in the front-to-back direction, the difficulty of connecting and routing the wiring harness can be reduced to a certain extent, reducing or avoiding the occurrence of excessively cluttered wiring harnesses inside the housing assembly 10.

[0092] 3 and 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, an air conditioner includes a switch door 120 and at least one driver module 110. The driver module 110 is disposed in the housing assembly 10 and connected to the switch door 120 to drive the switch door 120 to open or close the air outlet 23. The driver module 110 connected to the upper end of the switch door 120 is an upper driver module 111. The upper driver module 111 is located behind the display module 103, and the display control module 90 is located at the rear side or rear end of the upper driver module 111. The upper driver module 111 is located behind the display module 103, and the display control is located at the rear side or rear end of the upper driver module 111. This makes the structure relatively compact, can fully utilize the space inside the housing assembly 10, improve space utilization, and thus make the overall structure inside the air conditioner relatively compact.

[0093] Optionally, the air conditioner may include a switch door 120 and two drive modules 110, wherein the drive module 110 connected to the upper end of the switch door 120 is an upper drive module 111, and the drive module 110 connected to the lower end of the switch door 120 is a lower drive module 112. The upper drive module 111 and the lower drive module 112 simultaneously drive the switch door 120 to move, thereby driving the switch door 120 to open or close the air outlet 23. By providing the upper drive module 111 and the lower drive module 112, and connecting the upper drive module 111 and the lower drive module 112 to the upper and lower ends of the switch door 120 respectively, the smooth movement of the switch door 120 can be ensured.

[0094] 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the upper driver module 111 and the display module 103 are disposed relative to each other in the front-to-back direction. In the related art, to prevent interference between the display panel assembly 100, the driver module 110, and the switch door 120, the display panel assembly 100 is typically disposed above the driver module 110 and the switch door 120. This results in a relatively large vertical dimension of the air conditioner, high production costs, and relatively low space utilization within the air conditioner.

[0095] By separating the display module 103 of the display panel assembly 100 from the display control module 90, and arranging the upper drive module 111 relative to the display module 103 in the front-to-back direction, the vertical dimensions of the air conditioner can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby reducing production costs and helping to meet the lightweight design requirements of the air conditioner. At the same time, the space behind the display module 103 can be fully utilized, improving space utilization and making the overall structure of the air conditioner more compact.

[0096] 3 and 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the switch door 120 includes a door body 121 and an upper connecting plate 122. The door body 121 is used to open and close the air outlet 23. The upper connecting plate 122 is connected to the upper side of the door body 121 and is connected to the driving module 110. The upper connecting plate 122 is located between the display module 103 and the upper driving module 111. The driving module 110 can drive the upper connecting plate 122 connected to the driving module 110 to move, thereby driving the door body 121 connected to the upper connecting plate 122 to move, and then realizing the function of opening and closing the air outlet 23 through the movement of the door body 121.

[0097] The upper connecting plate 122 is located between the display module 103 and the driving module 110 , which can fully utilize the space between the display module 103 and the driving module 110 , improve space utilization, and make the overall structure inside the air conditioner more compact.

[0098] 3 and 11-12 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the upper connecting plate 122 includes a first connecting portion 123 and a second connecting portion 124. One end of the first connecting portion 123 is connected to the top of the door body 121, while the other end of the first connecting portion 123 extends rearward and connects to the second connecting portion 124. The second connecting portion 124 extends vertically. In the front-to-back direction, the second connecting portion 124 is located between the display module 103 and the upper driver module 111. By providing the first connecting portion 123 and the second connecting portion 124, with one end of the first connecting portion 123 connected to the top of the door body 121 and the other end of the first connecting portion 123 extending rearward and connecting to the second connecting portion 124, and the second connecting portion 124 extending vertically, interference between the upper driver module 111 and the display module 103 is avoided when the door 120 is driven to open or close the air outlet 23, thereby ensuring smoother movement of the door 120.
