The first insertion boss 423 and the second insertion boss 424 are blocked by the bosses 533 and 535, respectively, so as not to be movable away from each other in the extending direction of the first air conditioning case plate 211. In the assembled position of the first and second pre-assembled units 901, 902 shown in FIG. 5B, the fastener 305 is inserted through the second connector 302 and the first connector 301 to fasten the second connector 302 to the first connector 301. Wherein a metal plate 928, such as a rivet nut metal plate, is arranged in the inner cavity 419 of the first fastener, and is used for cooperating with the fastener 305 to fasten the first connector 301 and the second connector 302. After fastening is complete, the first pre-assembled unit 901 and the second pre-assembled unit 902 cannot be moved away from each other in the vertical direction D2. So that the first pre-assembled unit 901 and the second pre-assembled unit 902 are securely connected.

Wherein a seal 909 is provided between the first insertion protrusion 423 and the recess 562, and a seal 909 is provided between the second insertion protrusion 424 and the recess 564. The seal 909 is capable of deforming when compressed. When the first connection member 301 and the second connection member 302 are connected by using the fastening member 305, the first insertion protrusion 423 and the second insertion protrusion 424 have elasticity to press the sealing member 909 while being deformed by themselves, so that a seal is formed between the first insertion protrusion 423 and the recess 562 and between the second insertion protrusion 424 and the recess 564. Wherein the sealing effect at the second insertion protrusion 424 is better because the second insertion protrusion 424 is more difficult to be deformed than the first insertion protrusion 423.

In some embodiments, only one pair of insertion projections and recesses, or more pairs of insertion projections and recesses may be included. In some embodiments, the arrangement of the convex and concave portions of the first engagement portion 405 of the first connector 301 and the second engagement portion 505 of the second connector 302 may be the reverse of the present embodiment, for example, a concave portion is provided on the first connector 301 and a convex portion is provided on the second connector 302.

In the present application, the first connecting member 301 and the third connecting member 303 are shaped such that the first outer connecting surface 432 is close to the third outer side surface 632, and a gap therebetween is as small as possible, so as to prevent wind leakage.

In the present application, the first connector 301 and the third connector 303 are made of thermoplastic material and are located inside the air conditioning box panel to act as a cold bridge partition. The second connector 302 is made of metal material, one side of the second connector 302 is positioned outside the air conditioning box body, and the metal material can be firm and ageing-resistant.

In this application, after the air-conditioning box body is installed, the first inner plate 313 and the second inner plate 323 are flushed in the horizontal direction, a connecting piece does not need to be arranged, interference is not easy to generate inside the air-conditioning box body, and internal components are convenient to install.

Through the cooperation of even piece subassembly in this application for horizontal concatenation easy operation between the air conditioner box board has reduced auxiliary material's use. Installation of the fastener 305 may be accomplished automatically by instrumentation.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 10, the first section 1021 of the bent portion 1020 of the first inner plate 313 extends to the first side 1011 of the first support portion, and the second section 1022 of the bent portion 1020 enters the space between the first insertion projection 1029 and the first side 1011. In cooperation therewith, the bent portions of the second inner plate 323 are symmetrically arranged with the bent portions of the first inner plate 313, and the shape of the inner plate connecting portion of the third connector 303 is matched with the shape of the bent portions of the second inner plate 323. The embodiment shown in fig. 10 can achieve similar technical effects as the embodiment shown in fig. 9B.

Fig. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the container panel of the present application, similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 10, except that the bent portion 1120 of the first inner panel 313 and the bent portion 1130 of the second inner panel 323 only include a first segment extending vertically, and a second segment extending horizontally is not required. The embodiment shown in fig. 11 can achieve similar technical effects as the embodiment shown in fig. 10.

Fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a fourth embodiment of a body panel of the present application, similar to the embodiment of fig. 10, except that the ends of the first and second inner panels 313, 323 are not provided with a bend. Instead, the first link 1201 and the third link 1203 are provided with receiving grooves 1280 and 1290 at corresponding positions, which receive the first inner plate 313 and the second inner plate 323, respectively. The embodiment shown in fig. 11 can achieve similar technical effects as the embodiment shown in fig. 10.
