The panel is provided with ventilation holes. The air guiding strip is disposed in the ventilation hole, and the air guiding strip and the hole wall of the ventilation hole form an air duct, and the air guiding strip can move to change the air outlet angle of the air duct.

In this way, by moving the air guiding strip in the vent hole, the air outlet angle of the air duct can be changed, so that the air outlet effect of the air conditioner is good.

Specifically, the panel assembly of the present invention will be described below in a specific embodiment.

Embodiment 1:

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is used for an air conditioner. The panel assembly 100 includes a panel 12 and a wind deflector 14.

The panel 12 is provided with a circular hole 122.

The air guiding strip 14 has an arc shape, and the air guiding strip 14 is disposed in the circular hole 122. The air guiding strip 14 and the hole wall of the circular hole 122 together form a circular air outlet, and the air guiding strip 14 can be along the circular hole. The axial movement of 122 changes the exit angle of the air duct 13.

In the above panel assembly 100, the air guiding strip 14 and the hole wall of the circular hole 122 form a circular air outlet 13 , and the air conditioner applying the panel assembly 100 can realize 360 degree air blowing while passing the air guiding strip 14 in the circle. The movement of the hole 122 can change the outlet angle of the air duct 13, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner is good.

Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the panel 12 includes an outer frame 124 and an inner frame 126. The outer frame 124 defines a circular hole 122. The inner frame 126 is protruded from the outer frame 124 and disposed coaxially with the outer frame 124. The inner frame 126 has a circular shape. The air guiding strip 14 is movable in a gap between the outer frame 124 and the inner frame 126.

As such, the inner frame 126 can be used to limit the maximum travel of the air guiding strip 14 away from the circular hole 122 when the air guiding strip 14 moves. The air guiding strip 14 is prevented from being too far from the circular hole 122, and the air outlet angle of the air duct 13 cannot be changed.

Specifically, the diameter of the inner frame 126 is smaller than the diameter of the outer frame 124, and the direction of the inner frame 126 protruding from the outer frame 124 is away from the air conditioner, so that the air guiding strip 14 is along the circular hole 122 in the circular hole 122. When the axial movement is performed, the air outlet angle of the air duct 13 can be changed, and the air passing through the air outlet passage 13 is not blocked by the outer frame 124.

In some embodiments, the panel 12 includes a plurality of connectors 128 that connect the outer frame 124 and the inner frame 126. The number of air guiding strips 14 is plural, and the adjacent two air guiding strips 14 are separated by one connecting portion 128.

Thus, the relative position between the inner frame 126 and the outer frame 124 is fixed, and the wind angle can be changed by changing the position of the air guiding strip 14. The number of the air guiding strips 14 is multiple, and can be used to realize independent movement of each air guiding strip 14, so that one circular hole 122 can have different air outlet angles, for example, the air outlet on one side of the same room can be horizontal. And the other side of the wind is vertical to meet the different needs of different users in the same room.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the connecting portions 128 is three, and the connecting portions 128 are evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction. In this way, the connection between the outer frame 124 and the inner frame 126 is made reliable, and the safety of the air conditioner is improved.

Correspondingly, the number of air guiding strips 14 is also three, and each of the two air guiding strips 14 is separated by a connecting portion 128, and each of the air guiding strips 14 has the same diameter and arc length. In this way, the three air guiding strips 14 can be moved independently, so that the air conditioner can have different air blowing angles in three directions.

Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the panel assembly 100 includes a panel back cover 16 that is fixedly coupled to the panel 12. The panel rear cover 16 includes a driving portion 162 for driving the air guiding strip 14 to move.

Thus, the panel rear cover 16 is fixedly connected to the panel 12, and the driving portion 162 is disposed on the panel rear cover 16, that is, the driving portion 162 is stationary with respect to the panel 12, and the driving portion 162 drives the air guiding strip 14 to move, that is, The wind deflector 14 is moved relative to the panel 12 to change the wind angle.

Specifically, each of the driving portions 162 may include two sub-driving portions 1622, one end of each of the air guiding strips 14 is connected to one sub-driving portion 1622, and each of the air guiding strips 14 may be provided by two sub-driving portions 1622 located at two ends of the air guiding strip 14. Simultaneous driving, by controlling the sub-drive portions 1622 at both ends of the same air guiding strip 14 to be driven at the same power, axial movement of the air guiding strip 14 along the circular hole 122 can be achieved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the driving portion 162 may include a driving member, and the air guiding strip 14 may include a driving member that drives the driven member to cause the driving portion 162 to drive the air guiding strip 14 to move, for example, the driving member can drive the gear. The follower may be a screw that cooperates with the drive gear, and the wind deflector 14 is moved in the gap between the outer frame 124 and the inner frame 126 by the rotation of the drive gear. Of course, in other embodiments, the specific form of the driving portion 162 driving the air guiding strip 14 may have other options, which are not limited herein.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the embodiment of the present invention, the inside of the air guiding strip 14 has a hollow design.

In this way, the material for manufacturing the air guiding strip 14 is saved, and the air guiding strip 14 is made lighter, and the air guiding strip 14 is easily driven by the driving portion 162, saving energy for driving the air guiding strip 14.

In some embodiments, the connecting portion 128 is formed with a cavity, and the driving portion 162 is received in the cavity.

As such, the driving portion 162 can be housed in the cavity, reducing the size of the panel assembly 100, so that the panel assembly 100 is compact in structure.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the panel back cover 16 includes a fixing ring 164, and the panel back cover 16 and the panel 12 are fixedly connected to the outer frame 124 through the fixing ring 164.

Specifically, the fixing ring 164 is formed with a fixing surface 1642 which is shaped like the inner wall of the circular hole 122, and the fixing surface 1642 is fitted to the outer frame 124. The fixing ring and the outer frame can be fixedly connected by screws.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the driving portion 162 is disposed on the fixing ring 164 and evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 164. The number of the driving portions 162 is the same as the number of the connecting portions 128, so that one driving portion 162 is received in one connection. The cavity of the portion 128.

Thus, the panel back cover 16 is equivalent to being integrally embedded in the outer frame 124 and the connecting portion 128, further making the structure of the panel assembly 100 compact. The rear cover 16 of the panel is closely attached to the outer frame 124 and the connecting portion 128, so that the vibration and noise generated by the panel assembly 100 during use can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 3 , in some embodiments, the inner frame 126 includes a first limiting ring 1262 for limiting the maximum movement of the air guiding strip 14 to the circular hole 122 in the direction of the inner frame 126 . stroke.

It can be understood that when the distance of the air guiding strip 14 from the circular hole 122 is increased, the air outlet 13 formed by the air guiding strip 14 and the hole wall of the circular hole 122 increases, and acts on the air guiding strip. The wind on the 14 is decreasing. When the distance of the air guiding strip 14 from the circular hole 122 is too large, the wind acting on the air guiding strip 14 is too small, so that the air guiding strip 14 cannot change the overall air blowing angle.

Therefore, the first limiting ring 1262 can limit the maximum moving stroke of the air guiding strip 14 to the circular hole 122 in the direction of the inner frame 126, so that the air guiding strip 14 moves within a reasonable range of travel, and the air guiding strip 14 can effectively Change the wind angle.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, the inner frame 126 includes a plurality of guiding posts 1264 , and the guiding posts 1264 are disposed on the first limiting ring 1262 . The panel assembly 100 includes a plurality of guiding sleeves 17 that are disposed on the air guiding strip 14. Each guide sleeve 17 cooperates with a corresponding one of the guide posts 1264 to guide the guide strip 14 to move.

Specifically, since the air guiding strip 14 moves within the circular hole 122, especially when the air conditioner operates under a large airflow condition, the wind acting on the air guiding strip 14 may cause the air guiding strip 14 to occur. The offset causes the wind deflector 14 to not accurately change the wind angle.

The guiding sleeve 17 cooperates with the guiding post 1264 to guide the movement of the wind strip 14, so that the air guiding strip 14 moves smoothly without offset, and the wind angle can be accurately controlled.

Specifically, the guiding post 1264 may be on the first limiting ring 1262 along the axis of the circular hole 122 and extending in the direction of the air conditioner, and the guiding sleeve 17 may be on the air guiding strip 14 along the circular hole 122. The axis extends away from the direction of the air conditioner, and when the air guiding strip 14 is moved, the guiding post 1264 projects or projects into the guiding sleeve 17.

It can be understood that the cooperation of the guiding post 1264 and the guiding sleeve 17 is a clearance fit to avoid excessive friction between the guiding post 1264 and the guiding sleeve 17 and hinder the movement of the air guiding strip 14.

In the embodiment of the present invention, three guiding sleeves 17 are disposed on each of the three air guiding strips 14 , and correspondingly, the first limiting ring 1262 between each two connecting portions 128 Three guide posts 1264 are provided in the section.

The guide post 1264 can be a cylindrical guide post 1264, and the shape of the plurality of guide posts 1264 can be identical. Correspondingly, the hollow portion of the guiding sleeve 17 is also cylindrical, and the shape of the hollow portion of each guiding sleeve 17 is designed corresponding to the shape of each guiding post 1264.

It should be noted that the above description of the specific number and shape of the guide post 1264 and the guiding sleeve 17 is only an example of the embodiment of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
