Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to devices used in environmental engineering, and more particularly to an air conditioner.
- A conventional air conditioner includes a body, a filter, and a front panel. The filter is detachably mounted on the body. The front panel is a single-skin structure, usually formed in a single injection molding operation, and a paint is applied to the front surface of the front panel. The front panel is pivotally mounted on the body. The front panel can be pivoted to a closed position to cover the filter, and can be pivoted to an open position to uncover the filter so as to allow a user to remove and clean the filter. However, the paint or other cosmetic addition to the front surface of the front panel fades due to conditions of the working environment, and may be scratched or abraded during manipulation of the front panel.
- Many aspects of the disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an air conditioner front panel. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the air conditioner front panel ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line inFIG. 1 . - It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the exemplary embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the exemplary embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the exemplary embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
- With reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , an exemplary embodiment of an air conditioner front panel with two-layer structure includes asupport frame 1 and aprotective cover 2. - The
support frame 1 has amounting bracket 11. With reference toFIG. 3 , themounting bracket 11 has afront surface 111, arear surface 112, anouter flange 113, a plurality ofopenings 114, a plurality ofinner flanges 115, and arecess 116. Theouter flange 113 extends from thefront surface 111 around a periphery of thefront surface 111. Theopenings 114 are formed from thefront surface 111 to therear surface 112. Eachinner flange 115 extends from thefront surface 111 around one of theopenings 114. Therecess 116 is defined between theouter flange 113 and theinner flanges 115. Ahot melt adhesive 3 is applied in therecess 116, and theouter flange 113 and theinner flanges 115 prevent leakage of thehot melt adhesive 3. - The
protective cover 2 is made of a bright transparent material. Theprotective cover 2 has afront surface 21 and arear surface 22. Thefront surface 21 is bright and transparent. Therear surface 22 can be painted with different colors according to different requirements. The color on therear surface 22 can be clearly seen through thefront surface 21. Theprotective cover 2 covers thefront surface 111 of themounting bracket 11. Therear surface 22 of theprotective cover 2 faces thefront surface 111 of themounting bracket 11. Thesupport frame 1 and theprotective cover 2 are bonded by thehot melt adhesive 3. - The color on the
rear surface 22 of theprotective cover 2 does not fade due to environmental conditions, and not be scratched or abraded during manipulation of the air conditioner front panel. Thus, the color shown by the air conditioner front panel lasts longer. In addition, the air conditioner front panel with two-layer structure including thesupport frame 1 and theprotective cover 2 provides high structural strength. - In the present exemplary embodiment, a thickness T of the
outer flange 113 of themounting bracket 11 is 1.5 mm and a thickness T1 of theinner flange 115 is also 1.5 mm. Themounting bracket 11 has a rectangular shape in front view and a curved shape in side view. Theprotective cover 2 includes afront wall 23 and aperipheral wall 24 extending rearward from thefront wall 23. Thefront wall 23 has a rectangular shape in front view and a curved shape in side view. The shape of thefront wall 23 corresponds to the shape of themounting bracket 11. - The
support frame 1 further has twopivot members 12 disposed at upper ends of two sides of therear surface 112 of themounting bracket 11. The air conditioner front panel can thus be pivoted relative to an air conditioner body (not shown) to an open position. - The
support frame 1 further has twohook members 13 disposed at lower ends of the two sides of therear surface 112 of themounting bracket 11. The air conditioner front panel can thus be engaged with the air conditioner body to a closed position. - The exemplary embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a device operating under adverse working conditions. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the exemplary embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
