Detailed Description

First, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. And can be adjusted as needed by those skilled in the art to suit particular applications.

Next, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "inside", "outside", and the like are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or member must have a specific orientation, be constructed in a specific orientation, and operate, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; the two components can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and the two components can be communicated with each other. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

However, the existing front panel is composed of a panel and a plurality of sections of decorative strips arranged around the panel, and each section of decorative strip is fastened and connected with the panel through a claw mechanism, so that the assembling time of the decorative strip and the panel is longer, and the assembling efficiency of the wall-mounted air conditioner is reduced.

Through careful analysis, the inventor of the present disclosure found that the main reason for the above problem is that the molding board is composed of multiple molding boards, each of which needs to be repeatedly circulated in the path of placing station-assembling, and the molding board is adjusted during the assembling process to ensure the accurate relative position of the molding board and the panel, which undoubtedly increases the assembling time. Therefore, the inventor of the present disclosure abandons the scheme of the decoration strip formed by multiple sections of decoration strip plates, and adopts the integrally formed decoration strip, so that the decoration strip and the panel can be assembled in place at one time, thereby reducing the assembly time and further improving the assembly efficiency of the wall-mounted air conditioner.

Meanwhile, the decorative strip formed by the multiple sections of decorative strip plates is of a flat plate structure, and the panel and the decorative strip are assembled to form a double-layer structure which is stacked up and down, so that the decorative strip and the panel are converted into a matching relation between a large panel and a small panel. From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present disclosure employs an integrally formed trim strip directly connected to the panel, reducing the weight of the trim strip and thus the weight of the panel assembly.

The following describes preferred technical solutions of the panel assembly, the indoor unit, and the air conditioner according to the present invention with reference to specific embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a panel assembly of the present embodiment; fig. 2 is a bottom view of the panel assembly of the present embodiment.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides a panel 10 assembly, which includes a panel 10 and a semi-closed decorative strip 20, where the panel 10 includes three adjacent sides, and the decorative strip 20 is enclosed outside the three sides and clamped to the three sides.

It should be noted that three adjacent side edges may be located in the same plane, or may be located in different planes. For example, when the panel 10 is rectangular, three adjacent sides are three adjacent sides of the panel 10, and the semi-enclosed decorative strip 20 is disposed around the three sides of the panel 10, that is, the panel 10 is in surface contact with the decorative strip 20.

It should be noted that, the size of the included angle between two adjacent side edges of the three side edges is not limited, in other words, the included angle between two adjacent side edges may be an obtuse angle, an acute angle or a right angle.

It will be readily appreciated that the semi-enclosed trim strip 20, as it is to be fitted to the panel 10, will generally need to be shaped to fit the profile of the panel 10 so that the trim strip 20 fits snugly with the panel 10 and provides a preliminary location with the panel 10.

In summary, since the trim strip 20 is a semi-closed structure, that is, the trim strip 20 is an integral structure, when the panel 10 and the trim strip 20 are clamped, the assembly efficiency of the panel 10 and the trim strip 20 can be improved on the premise of fixing the panel 10 and the trim strip 20. In addition, the trim strip 20 is directly connected to the fixing plate, which reduces the weight of the trim strip 20, thereby reducing the weight of the panel 10 assembly, further reducing the weight and cost of the panel 10 assembly, and improving the competitiveness of the wall-mounted air conditioner.

When the first positioning plates 41 are matched with the first claws 31, one first claw 31 is arranged between two adjacent first positioning plates 41, and the distance between the adjacent first claw 31 and the first positioning plate 41 is smaller than the distance between two adjacent first positioning plates 41. When the first panel 11 and the first molding section 21 are positioned, the first clamping jaw 31 and the first clamping block 32 can be assisted to align, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

The second positioning plate 42 is inserted into the positioning groove 44 to realize the position limitation after the second panel 12 and the second molding section 22 are assembled, so as to position the panel 10 and the molding 20.

The shape of the second positioning plate 42 is adapted to the structure of the positioning slot 44, for example, when the longitudinal section of the positioning slot 44 is isosceles trapezoid, the longitudinal section of the second positioning plate 42 is also isosceles trapezoid, and the end surface of the large end of the second positioning plate 42 is in surface contact with the bottom surface of the second panel 12 and is tightly connected with the second panel 12.

It should be noted that the length of the second positioning plate 42 is less than or equal to the length of the second trim segment 22.

The embodiment also provides an indoor unit, which comprises a rear shell and the panel 10 assembly, wherein the rear shell and the panel 10 assembly are oppositely arranged and enclose a mounting cavity for mounting a fan assembly; the rear shell is provided with a hanging assembly for hanging on a wall.

By adopting the panel 10 assembly, the weight of the indoor unit can be reduced, and the cost of the indoor unit can be reduced.

The embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which comprises an outdoor unit and the indoor unit.

By adopting the indoor unit, the cost can be reduced, and the competitiveness of the product can be improved.

So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the utility model, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the utility model.
