In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize the applicability of other processes and/or the use of other materials.

Next, a shell plate assembly 4 for an air conditioner 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1-4, the shell plate assembly 4 includes a shell plate body 41 and a ventilation grille 42, the shell plate body 41 has an opening 411, the ventilation grille 42 is disposed at the opening 411 and detachably connected to the shell plate body 41, therefore, when the ventilation grille 42 is mounted on the shell plate body 41, the ventilation grille 42 can shield the opening 411 on the shell plate body 41 on the premise of ensuring ventilation, so as to prevent a user from hurting hands from the opening 411, and prevent an object from entering the air conditioner 100 from the opening 411 to cause damage to the air conditioner 100, and air can circulate through the opening 411 and the ventilation grille 42, so as to meet air intake and/or air outtake requirements.

As shown in fig. 1, the shell plate body 41 has a connection hole 412 for mounting the shell plate assembly 4 to the air conditioner 100, that is, the shell plate assembly 4 may be mounted to a component other than the shell plate assembly 4 of the air conditioner 100 by using the connection hole 412, and for example, the shell plate assembly 4 may be mounted to at least one of a thermostat 5, a base plate 13, a support bracket 15, a top cover 14, and the like of the air conditioner 100, which will be described later, by using the connection hole 412.

As shown in fig. 3, when the ventilation grill 42 is mounted to the casing plate body 41, the ventilation grill 42 blocks the connection hole 412, that is, when the ventilation grill 42 is mounted to the casing plate body 41, the ventilation grill 42 may block the connection hole 412, so that when the ventilation grill 42 is used as an external appearance member of the air conditioner 100, the connection hole 412 on the casing plate body 41 may be prevented from being exposed, and thus the connection hole 412 may be protected to some extent from dust, water, etc. entering from the connection hole 412.

Moreover, when the ventilation grille 42 is detached from the casing plate body 41, the connection hole 412 of the casing plate body 41 can be exposed, so that a worker can attach the casing plate body 41 to a component of the air conditioner 100 other than the casing plate assembly 4 through the connection hole 412, and can clean the ventilation grille 42 or replace another component of the casing plate assembly 4, such as an air treatment member 43 described later.

Thus, according to the shell plate assembly 4 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the ventilation grille 42 is mounted to the shell plate body 41, the ventilation grille 42 can be used to shield the opening 411 and the connection hole 412, so as to protect the connection hole 412 on the shell plate body 41, and after the ventilation grille 42 is detached from the shell plate body 41, the connection hole 412 can be exposed, so as to realize the mounting and dismounting of the shell plate body 41 on the air conditioner 100, and the relevant processes such as cleaning of the shell plate assembly 4 can be performed.
