In this embodiment, the first side 210 is provided towards the air inlet of the housing. The air entering the housing via the air inlet flows towards the back plate 200. When the flowing air passes through the guide plate 230 at the back plate 200, the air guide hole 231 at the guide plate 230 will guide the air flow, so that the air flow can smoothly enter the accommodation cavity 201. The air guide hole 231 communicates with the inner cavity of the box 300, so that the air can enter the inner cavity of the box 300, and the sensor 400 detects the air entering the inner cavity of the box 300.

The sensor 400 is provided in the inner cavity of the box 300. The back plate 200 is provided with a first side extending along the length direction of the back plate 200. A side of the back plate 200 away from the panel 100 is provided with a guide plate 230 facing the first side 210, and the guide plate 230 is provided with an air guide hole 231 communicating with the accommodation cavity 201. The inner cavity of the box 300 communicates with the air guide hole 231, so that the air entering from the air guide hole 231 can enter the inner cavity of the box 300. In addition, the air guide hole 231 can guide the air flow, so that the air can enter the inner cavity of the box 300 smoothly. The sensor 400 is provided in the inner cavity, and the sensor 400 is configured to detect the air entering the inner cavity. In this way, the sensor 400 can accurately detect the air, and the problem that the airflow cannot pass through the inner cavity smoothly and causes inaccurate detection data of the sensor 400 can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the panel assembly 10.
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the guide plate 230 is provided with a windward surface 232, and the windward surface 232 extends obliquely away from the first side 210. In an embodiment, the windward surface 232 is provided with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The back plate 200 comprises a plate body and a boss provided at the plate body. The boss is provided at a side of the plate body away from the panel 100. The side plate 320 of the boss facing the first side 210 is the guide plate 230. The guide plate 230 is connected to the first end and the plate body. The second end is spaced apart from the plate body. The first end extends towards the second end to form the guide plate 230. The distance between the projection of the first end on the plate body and the first side 210 is smaller than the distance between the projection of the second end on the plate body and the first side 210. That is, the angle formed by the first side 210, the first end, and the second end is an obtuse angle. The first end is located between the first side 210 and the second end, so that the windward surface 232 extends obliquely away from the first side 210.
It can be understood that when the air flows from the side close to the first side 210 to the side facing the windward surface 232, the windward surface 232 extends obliquely away from the first side 210, so that the air can pass through the windward surface 232 of the guide plate 230 smoothly, and the air can enter the accommodation cavity 201 via the air guide hole 231 at the guide plate 230 smoothly. In this way, the air can enter the accommodation cavity 201 smoothly, so that the sensor 400 in the accommodation cavity 201 can accurately detect the air, and the problem that the airflow cannot pass through the inner cavity smoothly and causes inaccurate detection data of the sensor 400 can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the panel assembly 10.
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the air guide hole 231 is a strip-shaped hole. The strip-shaped hole extends along a width direction of the back plate 200.

The first side 210 extends along the length direction of the back plate 200. That is, the extending direction of the strip-shaped hole is perpendicular to the first side 210. When the air flows from the side close to the first side 210 to the side facing the guide plate 230, the extending direction of the strip-shaped hole is parallel to the flow direction of the air, so that the air can enter the strip-shaped hole smoothly, that is, the air can enter the air guide hole 231 smoothly.
Furthermore, there are a plurality of strip-shaped holes, and the plurality of strip-shaped hole are distributed at intervals on the guide plate 230 along the length direction of the back plate 200, so that the air flowing from the side close to the first side 210 to the side facing the guide plate 230 can smoothly enter the accommodation cavity 201 along the plurality of strip-shaped holes. The plurality of strip-shaped holes increase the air intake volume, thereby making the air data detected by the sensor 400 more accurate.
As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the side of the box 300 facing the panel 100 is provided with an opening, a bottom plate 310 and/or a side plate 320 of the box 300 are provided with a via hole 330 communicating with the air guide hole 231.
It can be understood that the side of the box 300 facing the panel 100 is provided with an opening, and the panel 100 is provided with a window corresponding to the opening. The box 300 is detachably connected to the panel 100, and the detachable connection can be a bolt connection, or can be a clamping connection, which is not limited here. The bottom plate 310 may be provided with a via hole 330 communicating with the air guide hole 231, and the side plate 320 may also be provided with a via hole 330 communicating with the air guide hole 231, which can be set according to the actual needs. In this embodiment, both the bottom plate 310 and the side plates 320 are provided with the via holes 330. There may be a plurality of via holes 330 on the bottom plate 310, and there may also be a plurality of via holes 330 on the side plates 320. For convenience of description, the via hole 330 on the bottom plate 310 of the box 300 is the first via hole 331, and the via hole 330 on the side plate 320 of the box 300 is the second via hole 332. The first via hole 331 and the second via hole 332 communicate the accommodating cavity 201 with the inner cavity of the box 300. The accommodating cavity 201 communicates with the air guide hole 231, so that the air guide hole 231 communicates with both the first via hole 331 and the second via hole 332, and the air entering from the air guide hole 231 can enter the inner cavity of the box 300 through the first via hole 331 and the second via hole 332. In this way, the sensor 400 can detect the air entering the inner cavity of the box 300. By arranging the plurality of first via holes 331 and second via holes 332, the air intake amount entering the inner cavity of the box 300 can be increased, making the air data detected by the sensor 400 more accurate.
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the backplane 200 is provided with a plurality of through holes 240 communicating with the via holes 330, and the via holes 330 are provided between the through holes 240 and the sensors 400.

The air guided by the guide plate 230 can flow along the side away from the first side 210. When the air passes through the through hole 240 on the boss, the air can pass through the through hole 240, the accommodation cavity 201 and the via hole 330 in sequence, and then can enter the inner cavity of the box 300. In addition, the via hole 330 is provided between the through hole 240 and the sensor 400, and the through hole 240 is provided on the boss. The projections of the sensor 400 and the via hole 330 on the back plate 200 fall on the boss, and fall into the area where the plurality of the through holes 240 are located. In this way, the air can be prevented from bending around after the air enters the accommodation cavity 201, so that the air can smoothly enter the inner cavity of the box 300 from the via hole 330, thereby improving the smoothness of the air flow.
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, a rib 250 is provided at a side of the back plate 200 facing the panel 100, and the through hole 240 is located between the guide plate 230 and the rib 250.

The rib 250, the guide plate 230, the box 300, the panel 100 and the back plate 200 are enclosed to form an air guide channel 260. The air guide channel 260 can guide the air entering the air guide channel 260, so that the air in the accommodation cavity 201 can only flow towards the via hole 330 in the air guide channel 260. The air guide channel 260 is a part of the accommodation cavity 201. The air guide channel 260 can be adopted to avoid the situation that the air flows to other positions in the accommodation cavity 201 and causes the air to not smoothly enter the via hole 330, and the air guide channel 260 can make the air enter the inner cavity of the box 300 smoothly.
Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing performance of the air guide channel 260 and prevent air from flowing into the accommodation cavity 201 from the gap between the box 300 and the back plate 200, in an embodiment, a convex portion is provided at the bottom plate 310 of the box 300. The convex portion is provided in the area of the frame enclosed by the rib 250 and the guide plate 230 and is abutted against the rib 250. In this way, the gap between the box 300 and the back plate 200 can be reduced, and airtightness of the air guide channel 260 can be improved, thereby enabling the air entering the air guide channel 260 to flow into the inner cavity of the box 300.

The fastening platform 350 is provided above the support platform 340 and is spaced apart from the support platform 340. The fastening platforms 350 are clamped on both sides of the base plate 410, so that the base plate 410 can be limited and fixed on the support platform 340. In this way, the installation stability of the base plate 410 can be ensured, that is, the installation stability of the sensor 400 can be ensured.
As shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, in an embodiment, the back plate 200 is provided with a second side 220 extending along the length direction, and the second side 220 is opposite to the first side 210.
