Figs. 1-4 are structural schematic diagrams illustrating a panel structure of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment.
In this optional embodiment, there is provided a panel structure of an air conditioner, including:

an air deflector 1 provided with one or more first micropore structures 11 penetrating through a thickness direction of the air deflector 1, and swinging up and down under the drive of a motor of the air deflector 1; and
a vertical swing blade assembly 2 including a swing rod 21 and one or more vertical swing blades 22 with a bionic leaf structure, wherein each vertical swing blade 22 is arranged on the swing rod 21, the swing rod 21 drives the vertical swing blade 22 to swing left and right under the drive of a drive motor of the swing rod 21, and the vertical swing blade 22 is provided with one or more second micropore structures 221 penetrating through a thickness direction of the vertical swing blade 22.

In this optional embodiment, since the natural wind is generally softer after being decelerated by the green leaves, the vertical swing blade 22 is imitated the shape of leaves in natural, and is driven to swing left and right by the drive motor of the swing rod 21, so that the air coming out of a volute is closer to the natural wind under the action of the vertical swing blade 22; the air adjusted left and right by the vertical swing blade 22 is then adjusted up and down by the air deflector 1, so that the air blown out by the air conditioner is softer. At the same time, the air deflector 1 is provided with the first micropore structures 11, and the vertical swing blade 22 is provided with the second micropore structures 221, during the swinging of the air deflector 1 and the vertical swing blades 22, the air passing through the first micropore structures 11 or the second micropore structures 221 further disrupts the moving direction of the air, and reduces the speed of the air in a certain direction, and thus the air is cool but not cold, and warm but not hot, thereby improving the comfort of the human body.
In some optional embodiments, when there are a plurality of vertical swing blades 22, blade sizes of any two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 are different. When the air passing through one of the vertical swing blades 22 blows to a vertical swing blade 22 adjacent to the vertical swing blade 22, since the blade sizes of the two vertical swing blades 22 are different, the moving direction of the air is further changed, the speed of the air in a certain direction is reduced, and the air is softer.
In some optional embodiments, the blade sizes of the plurality of vertical swing blades 22 decrease from a middle position to both sides of the swing rod 21; or, the blade sizes of the plurality of vertical swing blades 22 increase from the middle position to both sides of the swing rod 21. Optionally, the plurality of vertical swing blades 22 are configured as structures with similar shapes. By arranging the vertical swing blades 22 in a similar shape, and changing the blade sizes along the swing rod 21 stepwise, the moving direction of the air is continuously changed, therefore, the speed of the air in a certain direction can be reduced, and the air in a room is softer or meets the requirement of windless feeling.
In some optional embodiments, a value range of a maximum swing angle of the vertical swing blade is [40°, 160°]. Optionally, the maximum swing angle of the vertical swing blade 22 is 45°, 60°, 80° and 120°. If the maximum swing angle of the vertical swing blade 22 is too small, the adjustment range of the moving direction of the air coming out of the volute is too small; and if the maximum swing angle of the vertical swing blade 22 is too large, the adjustment frequency of the moving direction of the air coming out of the volute is too small, therefore, by setting the value range of the maximum swing angle of the vertical swing blade 22 to be [40°, 160°], the adjustment range and the adjustment frequency of the moving direction of the air coming out of the volute can be better balanced, and the effect of windless feeling is better.
In some optional embodiments, the panel structure further includes a gasket 5 arranged on an upper part of the vertical swing blade assembly 2, wherein a width of the gasket 5 is not less than a maximum width of the vertical swing blade 22. By arranging the gasket 5 on the upper part of the vertical swing blade assembly 2, the air can be prevented from being lost from the vertical swing blade assembly 2, so that all the air coming out of the volute can be used to adjust indoor temperature.
In some optional embodiments, the air deflector 1 includes a plurality of first air deflectors 12 arranged in parallel up and down along a panel body 3 of the panel structure, wherein the first air deflector 12 is provided with the one or more first micropore structures 11 penetrating through a thickness direction of the first air deflector 12. The plurality of first air deflectors 12 work together, so that the effect of wind direction adjustment is better. Further, since two adjacent first air deflectors 12 swing up and down in different directions, the wind direction of the air passing through the vertical swing blade assembly 2 can be further disrupted, so that the air blown out from the air conditioner is closer to the natural wind.
Figs. 5-6 are structural schematic diagrams illustrating the air deflector according to an exemplary embodiment.
In this optional embodiment, there is provided an air deflector 1 of the panel structure. Each of one or more first micropore structures 11 of the air deflector 1 is configured as a structure in which cross-sectional areas of a plurality of cross sections increase from middle to both ends.
Optionally, each of one or more second micropore structures 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 is configured as a structure in which cross-sectional areas of a plurality of cross sections increase from middle to both ends.
In this optional embodiment, the first micropore structure 11 of the air deflector 1 and/or the second micropore structure 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 is configured as the structure in which the plurality of cross sections increase from the middle to both ends, and the two ends of the micropore structure diverge outwards, which is not only beneficial for the structural process to die out, but also enables the air passing through the micropore structure to diverge outwards, and thus the direction of the air passing through the first micropore structure 11 and/or the second micropore structure 221 is different and closer to the natural wind.
Fig. 7 is a structural schematic diagram illustrating a vertical swing blade according to an exemplary embodiment.
In this optional embodiment, a width of the vertical swing blade 22 decreases from middle to both ends, and a peripheral edge of the vertical swing blade 22 is streamlined.
In this optional embodiment, since the natural wind is generally softer after being decelerated by the green leaves, by setting the vertical swing blade 22 in the shape of a bionic natural leaf with width decreasing from the middle to both ends, the air can be softer after being decelerated by the vertical swing leave 22. Further, by setting the peripheral edge of the vertical swing blade 22 to be streamlined, the resistance when the vertical swing blade 22 swings from side to side can be made smaller, and the air is softer.
In some optional embodiments, the vertical swing blade 22 is provided with a clamping member 222 and a rotating member 223, the vertical swing blade 22 is clamped and connected to the swing rod 21 through the clamping member 222, the vertical swing blade 22 is rotatably connected to a panel frame 4 of the panel structure through the rotating member 223, and the swing rod 21 drives the vertical swing blade 22 to swing left and right relative to the panel frame 4 under the drive of the drive motor of the swing rod 21. Specifically, the clamping member 222 includes a first groove matched with the swing rod 21, wherein the first groove is clamped with the swing rod 21. The rotating member 223 includes a second groove, wherein the panel frame 4 is provided with a protrusion matched with the second groove, the rotating member 223 drives the vertical swing blade 22 to rotate around the protrusion through the second groove, the swing rod 21 moves left and right under the drive of the drive motor of the swing rod 21, and the vertical swing blade 22 swings left and right around the protrusion under the drive of the swing rod 21. The vertical swing blade 22 is movably connected to the swing rod 21 and the panel frame 4 through the clamping member 222 and the rotating member 223 respectively, therefore, it is easy to assemble and disassemble.
In some optional embodiments, a value range of a ratio of a total area of the second micropore structure 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 to a total area of the vertical swing blade 22 is [45%, 85%]. Optionally, the ratio of the total area of the second micropore structure 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 to the total area of the vertical swing blade 22 is 60%, 75% and 78%. If the ratio of the total area of the second micropore structure 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 to the total area of the vertical swing blade 22 is too small, an air area of the air passing through the second micropore structure 221 is too small and air volume is insufficient; and if the ratio of the total area of the second micropore structure 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 to the total area of the vertical swing blade 22 is too large, the effect of breeze adjustment is poor, therefore, by setting the value range of the ratio of the total area of the second micropore structure 221 of the vertical swing blade 22 to the total area of the vertical swing blade 22 to be [45%, 85%], the air volume of the second micropore structure 221 and the effect of the breeze adjustment can be well balanced.
In some optional embodiments, a value range of a maximum width of the second micropore structure 221 is [5mm, 10mm]. Optionally, the maximum width of the second micropore structure 221 is 6mm, 7mm, 8mm and 9mm. By setting the value range of the maximum width of the second micropore structure 221 to [5mm, 10mm], the effect of the breeze adjustment is better.
In some optional embodiments, the thickness of the vertical swing blade 22 decreases from the center to the periphery, and a value range of the difference between the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the vertical swing blade 22 is [3mm, 8mm]. Optionally, the difference between the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the vertical swing blade 22 is 5mm, 6mm and 7mm. By setting the thickness of the vertical swing blade 22 to decrease from the center to the periphery, the firmness of the structure of the vertical swing blade 22 can be improved; at the same time, an air layer can be formed on a surface of the vertical swing blade 22, which further disturbs the moving direction of the air and makes the air softer.
Figs. 8-11 are structural schematic diagrams illustrating a panel structure of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment.
In this optional embodiment, there is provided a panel structure of an air conditioner, including:

an air deflector 1 provided with one or more first micropore structures 11 penetrating through a thickness direction of the air deflector 1, and swinging up and down under the drive of a motor of the air deflector 1;
a vertical swing blade assembly 2 including a swing rod 21 and one or more vertical swing blades 22 with a bionic leaf structure, wherein each vertical swing blade 22 is arranged on the swing rod 21, the swing rod 21 drives the vertical swing blade 22 to swing left and right under the drive of a drive motor of the swing rod 21, and the vertical swing blade 22 is provided with one or more second micropore structures 221 penetrating through a thickness direction of the vertical swing blade 22; and
a panel body 3 provided with one or more reinforcing ribs 31.

In this optional embodiment, on one hand, the panel body 3 is provided with one or more reinforcing ribs 31, and thus the structural strength of the panel structure is improved, and the panel body is not easily deformed; on the other hand, the vertical swing blades 22 are imitated the shape of leaves in natural, and are driven to swing left and right by the motor, so that the air coming out of a volute is closer to the natural wind under the action of the vertical swing blades 22. The air adjusted left and right by the vertical swing blades 22 is then adjusted up and down by the air deflector 1 with micropores, so that the air blown out by the air conditioner is softer and meets the requirements of human comfort.
In some optional embodiments, the reinforcing ribs are configured as one or more first transverse reinforcing ribs along a length direction of the panel body 3 and/or one or more first longitudinal reinforcing ribs along a width direction of the panel body 3. Optionally, the first transverse reinforcing ribs and/or the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs are configured as strip-shaped reinforcing ribs integrally formed with the panel body 3. The first transverse reinforcing ribs and/or the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs improve the overall strength of the panel body 3. Moreover, by arranging the strip reinforcing ribs, lines of the whole strip-shaped panel body 3 are simplified, and the structure of the panel body 3 is optimized.
In some optional embodiments, a length of the first transverse reinforcing ribs is equal to that of the panel body 3, and a length of the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs is equal to a width of the panel body 3. By arranging the first transverse reinforcing ribs to penetrate through the length direction of the panel body 3 and the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs to penetrate through the width direction of the panel body 3, the structure of the panel body 3 is more compact, and the processing technology is simpler.
In some optional embodiments, the air deflector 1 is provided with one or more second transverse reinforcing ribs along a length direction of the air deflector 1 and/or one or more second longitudinal reinforcing ribs along a width direction of the air deflector 1. The second transverse reinforcing ribs and/or the second longitudinal reinforcing ribs improve the overall strength of the air deflector 1, and lines of the whole strip-shaped air deflector 1 are simplified, thereby optimizing the structure of the air deflector 1.
In some optional embodiments, when the air deflector 1 is closed, the first transverse reinforcing ribs and the second transverse reinforcing ribs are in the same straight line, and/or the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs and the second longitudinal reinforcing ribs are in the same straight line, therefore, the structural consistency of the panel structure is improved while improving the structural strength of the panel structure.
In some optional embodiments, each second transverse reinforcing rib and/or each longitudinal reinforcing rib is provided with the first micropore structures 11. The first micropore structures 11 are arranged to penetrate through a thickness direction of the second transverse reinforcing ribs and/or the second longitudinal reinforcing ribs, so as to play a role of breeze adjustment.
In some optional embodiments, the panel body 3 includes a first part located around the panel body 3 and a second part located in the middle of the panel body 3. The density of the first transverse reinforcing ribs in the first part is greater than that of the first transverse reinforcing ribs in the second part, and/or the density of the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs in the first part is greater than that of the first longitudinal reinforcing ribs in the second part. During the use of the panel structure, the periphery of the panel body 3 is more vulnerable to damage than the middle of the panel body 3, therefore, by setting the distribution density of the first transverse reinforcing ribs and/or the second transverse reinforcing ribs in the first part of the panel body 3 to be larger, the structural stability of the panel body 3 located in the first part can be further improved. For the panel body 3 located in the second part, the requirement of the structural strength is relatively low, therefore, by setting the distribution density of the first transverse reinforcing ribs and/or the second transverse reinforcing ribs in the second part of the panel body 3 to be smaller, the mass of the panel body 3 can be reduced, the processing technology of the panel body 3 can be simplified, and the production cost can be reduced.

an air deflector 1 including a plurality of second air deflectors 13 arranged in parallel left and right along a panel body 3 of the panel structure, wherein each second air deflector 13 swings up and down under the drive by a motor of the air deflector 1, and the second air deflector 13 is provided with one or more first micropore structures 11 penetrating through a thickness direction of the second air deflector 13;
a vertical swing blade assembly 2 including a swing rod 21 and one or more vertical swing blades 22 with a bionic leaf structure, wherein each vertical swing blade 22 is arranged on the swing rod 21, the swing rod 21 drives the vertical swing blade 22 to swing left and right under the drive of a drive motor of the swing rod 21, and the vertical swing blade 22 is provided with one or more second micropore structures 221 penetrating through a thickness direction of the vertical swing blade 22;

Figs. 19-22 are structural schematic diagrams illustrating a panel structure of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment.
In this optional embodiment, there is provided a panel structure of an air conditioner, including:

an air deflector 1 provided with one or more first micropore structures 11 penetrating through a thickness direction of the air deflector 1, and swinging up and down under the drive of a motor of the air deflector 1; and
a plurality of vertical swing blade assemblies 2 arranged in parallel up and down along a panel body 3 of the panel structure, wherein each of the plurality of vertical swing blade assemblies 2 includes a swing rod 21 and one or more vertical swing blades 22 with a bionic leaf structure, wherein each vertical swing blade 22 is arranged on the swing rod 21, the swing rod 21 drives the vertical swing blade 22 to swing left and right under the drive of a drive motor of the swing rod 21, and the vertical swing blade 22 is provided with one or more second micropore structures 221 penetrating through a thickness direction of the vertical swing blade 22.

In this optional embodiment, the vertical swing blades 22 are imitated the shape of leaves in natural, and a plurality of rows of vertical swing blades 22 are driven to swing left and right by the motor. After passing through an evaporator, the air coming out of the air conditioner is adjusted left and right through the plurality of rows of vertical swing blades 22, and then is adjusted up and down by the air deflector 1 with micropores. By changing the wind direction and wind speed for many times, the air is more comfortable and is closer to the natural wind, the noise of the air is lower, and the user experience is better.
In some optional embodiments, the vertical swing blades 22 of any two adjacent vertical swing blade assemblies 2 are arranged in a staggered manner. By arranging the vertical swing blades 22 of any two adjacent vertical swing blade assemblies 2 in the staggered manner, the air passing through one of the vertical swing blades 22 is further decelerated and changed direction after flowing through the vertical swing blade 22 adjacent to the vertical swing blade 22, so that the movement direction of the air is more chaotic, thereby achieving the purpose of windless feeling.
In some optional embodiments, blade sizes of the vertical swing blades 22 of any two adjacent vertical swing blade assemblies 2 are different. When the air passing through one of the vertical swing blades 22 blows to the vertical swing blade 22 adjacent to the vertical swing blade 22, since the blade sizes of the two vertical swing blades 22 are different, the moving direction of the air is further changed, the speed of the air in a certain direction is reduced, and the air is softer.
In some optional embodiments, a distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 decreases from a middle position to both sides of the swing rod 21; or, the distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 increases from the middle position to both sides of the swing rod 21. The distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 is gradually changed. When each vertical swing blade 22 swings left and right, the air coming out of a volute unevenly passes through the vertical swing blade 22, so that the direction and size of the air passing through the vertical swing blade 22 are different, and thus the air is softer.
Optionally, the distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 meets the following relationship: $d = 1.7 * L (n - 1) / [n * (N - 1)],$

wherein L is a length of the swing rod 21, N is the number of vertical swing blades 22 located on the swing rod 21, n is a number of the distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 from a central position of the swing rod 21, and d is the distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 in the nth segment.
Specifically, n is an integer number starting from the central position of the swing rod 21 and increasing from an integer 2, for example 2, 3, 4, 5, and the like.
When the distance between two adjacent vertical swing blades 22 increases according to the above-mentioned relationship, and when each vertical swing blade 22 swings left and right, the direction of the air coming out of the volute is more chaotic after passing through the vertical swing blade 22, and thus the air is softer, and the structure of the vertical swing blade 22 is more reasonable and compact.

In this optional embodiment, the vertical swing blade 22 is driven to swing left and right by the motor to adjust the air coming out of a volute, and the air adjusted left and right by the vertical swing blade 22 is then adjusted up and down by the air deflector 1 with micropores. Through the vertical swing blade 22, the air deflector 1 and the micropore structure, the air blown out by the air conditioner is closer to the natural wind, and is clean and healthy, thereby improving the human comfort.

In some optional embodiment, the vertical swing blade 22 is configured as a structure including a plurality of parallel sub-blades, and the second micropore structures 221 on any two adjacent sub-blades are arranged in a staggered manner. By changing the direction of the air passing through the vertical swing blade 22 among the sub-blades of the vertical swing blade 22, and making the air pass through the second micropore structures 221 staggered with each other, the movement direction of the air is further disrupted, so that the air passing through the vertical swing blades 22 is chaotic and close to the natural wind, thereby improving the user experience.
In some optional embodiments, a rotatable blade is arranged in each second micropore structure 221, and the blade rotates under the action of an external air. Driven by the rotation of the blades, the direction of the air passing through the second micropore structures 221 is obviously changed, that is, the direction of the air is completely disrupted, so that the air passing through the vertical swing blades 22 is more chaotic and close to the natural wind, thereby meeting the requirement of windless feeling and having a good user experience.
