An air outlet203is provided above the display panel220, and an air inlet202is provided at the air inlet panel240. The display area is provided at the display panel220. Specifically, the display assembly100is provided above the connection plate230. The display assembly100may be connected to the connection plate230and/or the display panel220.

It should be noted that, if there is directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, rear . . . ) in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement between the components in a certain posture (as shown inFIGS. 5 and 9). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication changes accordingly.

In an embodiment, as shown inFIGS. 6, 9, 10, 12 and 13, the display assembly100includes:

a display box10, the display box100including a base plate11having a display portion and a key via hole111;

an electric control board30provided in the display box10;

a flexible isolation pad40provided in the display box10, the flexible isolation pad40being located between the base plate11and the electric control board30, and configured to isolate the base plate11from the electric control board30; and

a control key41movably provided in the key via hole111, the control key41being configured to abut against the flexible isolation pad40, and configured to interact with the electric control board30through the flexible isolation pad40.

The display box10has a receiving cavity (not shown), and the electric control board30and the flexible isolation pad40are both provided in the receiving cavity.

As shown inFIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6, when the display assembly100is applied to the window air conditioner1000, the base plate11is provided at the face frame280. In detail, a display area is provided at the face frame280, and the base plate11is installed in the display area. In more detail, the electric control board30is provided with a key switch31, the key via hole111is corresponding to the key switch31, and the control key41is corresponding to the key switch31. The display area is provided with a key mounting hole210corresponding to the key switch31. As such, a control key41is provided in the key via hole111and the key mounting hole210to control the key switch31on the electric control board30.

Besides, in the technical solutions of the present disclosure, a flexible isolation pad40is provided between the base plate11and the electric control board30. On the one hand, the flexible isolation pad40may isolate the cold air entering the display box from the key mounting hole210and the key via hole111to prevent the condensate from forming on the electronic control board30, and may form two layers of isolation protection for the base plate11and the flexible isolation pad40, which can improve the protection effect on the electronic control board30to prevent the failure of the electronic control board30and the display assembly100, thereby effectively improving the use reliability of the display assembly100and the window air conditioner1000. On the other hand, due to the flexibility of the flexible isolation pad40, the flexible isolation pad40may be deformed so as not to affect the effect of the control key41on the key switch31on the electric control board30.

In a specific embodiment, the flexible isolation pad40may be a silicone pad or a soft rubber pad. In this embodiment, the flexible isolation pad40is a silicone pad.

Further, the flexible isolation pad40is attached to a periphery of the key via hole111. As such, the sealing effect of the flexible isolation pad40on the key via hole111can be improved, such that cold air can be prevented from entering the display box10to further prevent the condensate from forming on the electric control board30. Optionally, the flexible insulation pad40is (closely) attached to a side of the base plate11towards, i.e., facing, the flexible insulation pad40.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 12 and 16, a sealing ring protrusion1111protrudes from the side of the base plate11towards the flexible isolation pad40, and the sealing ring protrusion1111is provided outside the key via hole111. The control key41is provided inside the sealing ring protrusion1111, and the sealing ring protrusion1111abuts against the side of the flexible isolation pad40towards the base plate11. As such, the sealing performance of the flexible isolation pad40to the key via hole111can be improved.

Further, as shown in the figure, the flexible isolation pad40is at least partially attached to a periphery of the electric control board30. As such, the protective effect of the flexible isolation pad40on the electrical control board30can be improved to prevent cold air from entering the side of the electric control board30from the periphery of the electric control board30towards the side of the flexible insulation pad40to prevent the formation of condensate.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 6, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 21, the control key41is integrated with the flexible isolation pad40.

Specially, as shown inFIGS. 9 and 12, the control key41protrudes from the key via hole111in a direction away from the electric control board30for extending into the key mounting hole210on the face frame280. As such, the switch of the key switch31can be controlled by driving the control key41to move; and the control key41can play a role of sealing the key mounting hole210.

As such, by integrally forming the control key41on the flexible isolation pad40, the control key41can play a role of sealing the key via hole111, thereby improving the isolation effect of the flexible isolation pad40, and improving the sealing effect. Moreover, the corresponding assembly process can be reduced, the installation process can be simplified, and the installation efficiency can be improved. In addition, the soft control key41has a comfortable pressing feel, which can improve user comfort.

Of course, it is also possible to provide independent control key (the control key can be a plastic key) in the key via hole111and the button mounting hole210, so that the key switch31can also be controlled.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 12 and 21, the flexible isolation pad40is provided with an annular movable portion42outside the control key41, and a thickness of the annular movable portion42is smaller than a thickness of the flexible isolation pad outside the annular movable portion42(i.e., the side of the annular movable portion42away from, i.e., facing away from, the control key41). In this way, the pressing force required when the control key41is pressed can be reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the user experience; meanwhile it can also improve the hand feeling when pressing.

In a specific embodiment, there are many ways to form the annular movable portion42. For example, a first annular groove is provided at the side of the flexible isolation pad40away from the base plate11, and a second annular groove is provided at the side of the flexible isolation pad40towards the base plate11corresponding to the first annular groove. Moreover, both the first annular groove and the second annular groove are provided outside the control key41, so that the annular movable portion42can be formed outside the control key41. And optionally, the first annular groove and the second annular groove are both arc-shaped in cross section; and so on. In this embodiment, the annular movable portion42is formed in another way, as described in detail below.

In this way, the pressing force required when the control key41is pressed can be reduced, and the annular movable portion42can be easily formed outside the control key41.

The first sink groove43can also be used to avoid other components on the electric control board30.

In this embodiment, a first sink groove43is provided at a side of the flexible isolation pad40away from the base plate11corresponding to the control key41, a second sink groove44is provided at a side of the flexible isolation pad40towards the base plate11, and the control key41is provided at a bottom of the second sink groove44.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 12 and 18-21, a key groove431is provided at the bottom of the first sink groove43, and a button of a key switch31is provided in the key groove431. As such, the pressing force required when the control key41is pressed can be further reduced to facilitate pressing the key switch31.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 12 and 18-21, an annular groove432is provided at the bottom of the key groove431, and the annular groove432is provided at a periphery of the control key41. As such, the annular movable portion42can be formed outside the control key41, and the pressing feel can be better improved.

Further, as shown inFIG. 10, the display box10further includes a left plate15provided at the left edge of the base plate11and a right plate14provided at the right edge of the base plate11. The open side edges of the left plate15protrude from the open side edges of the upper plate12and the lower plate13. The open side edges of the right plate14protrude from the open side edges of the upper plate12and the lower plate13. The left and right ends of the thermal-insulation cover20are respectively disposed inside the left and right plates14to further achieve sealing.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 9 and 10, the display box10is provided with a cable opening16that communicates with the receiving cavity, and the cable opening16has a cable notch communicating with the opening. The side wall of the cable opening16protrudes out of the display box10in a direction away from the display box10, and a crimping protrusion25protrudes from the peripheral edge of the thermal-insulation cover20. The crimping protrusion25is provided at the cable notch.

As such, the side wall of the cable opening16protrudes from the display box10in a direction away from the display box10, such that the axial length of the cable opening16can be increased, so that it is convenient to improve the sealing of the display box10, so as to prevent the generation of condensation water. Moreover, by providing the crimping protrusion25on the thermal-insulation cover20, the crimping protrusion25can press the thread body in the cable opening16tightly and ensure the tightness.

a housing200; and

a display assembly100provides in the housing200. The housing200has a face frame280. The display assembly100is disposed in the face frame280.

As shown inFIGS. 1-26, the specific structure of the display assembly100refers to the above embodiments. Since the window air conditioner1000of the present disclosure adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the advantages brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, as shown inFIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6, the window air conditioner1000further includes an indoor heat exchanger300, and an upper portion of the indoor heat exchanger300is disposed near the thermal-insulation cover20.

It should be pointed out here that the thermal-insulation cover20can be insulated, so that even if the upper portion of the indoor heat exchanger300is close to the thermal-insulation cover20, the display assembly100can be prevented from generating condensate to improve product reliability.

Further, the display box10is detachably mounted at the face frame280. In this way, the display assembly100can be easily tested, repaired or replaced.

Further, the display box10is detachably mounted at the face frame280through a clamping structure and/or a screw lock structure. In this way, the display box10and the face frame280can be preliminarily positioned and initially limited by the clamping structure, and then the connection strength can be improved by the screw lock structure, to ensure the stability of the connection between the display box10and the face frame280, thereby improving the reliability of the product.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 1, 2 and 5-8, the face frame280includes a display panel220; a connection plate230provided at a lower edge of the display panel220and extending inwards; and an air inlet panel240provided at an inner edge of the connection plate230and extending downwards. An air outlet203is provided above the display panel220, an air inlet202is provided at the air inlet panel240, the display assembly100is provided above the connection plate230, and the display box10is connected to the connection plate230and/or the display panel220. As such, by setting the face frame280, an installation space (that is, a space above the connection plate230) for installing the display assembly100can be formed inside the face frame280, thereby improving the protection effect of the display assembly100.

From the above, in this embodiment, the surrounding plate of the display box10includes an upper plate12, a left plate15, a lower plate13and a right plate14connected in sequence.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 2-4, 6 and 16, a first locking protrusion122is provided at the upper side of the upper plate12, and a first elastic buckle250is provided protruding on the inner side of the display panel220. The first elastic buckle250is disposed above the display box10, and the first elastic buckle250is locked to the first locking protrusion122. In this way, the upper side of the display box10can be limited.

In this embodiment, as shown inFIGS. 2-4, 6 and 16, there are a plurality of first protrusions122spaced apart from each other in the length direction of the upper plate12, and correspondingly, there are also a plurality of first elastic buckles250to improve connection stability.

In this embodiment, optionally, the first elastic buckle250is a reverse buckle.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 2-4, 6 and 16, the right side of the right plate14is provided with a second locking protrusion141, and the inner side of the display panel220is protruded with a second elastic buckle260. The second elastic buckle260is disposed on the right side of the display box10, and the second elastic buckle260is engaged with the second locking protrusion141. In this way, the right side of the display box10can be limited.

In this embodiment, optionally, the second elastic buckle260is a reverse buckle.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 2-4, 6 and 14, a first blocking protrusion132is provided at the lower side of the lower plate13, and a second blocking protrusion270is provided at the upper side of the connection plate230. The first blocking protrusion132is disposed on a side of the second blocking protrusion270towards the display panel220, and the first blocking protrusion132abuts on the second blocking protrusion270. In this way, the lower side of the display box10can be limited.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 2-4, 6 and 14, a plurality of the first blocking protrusions132are spaced apart from each other in the length direction of the lower plate13, and correspondingly, a plurality of the second blocking protrusions270are also provided to improve the connection stability.

Further, as shown inFIGS. 2-4, 6 and 9, the left plate15protrudes to the left with a screw connection portion151, and the screw connection portion151is connected to the display panel220by a screw lock structure. In this way, the left side of the display box10can be limited.

Specially, a screw pillar opposite to the screw connection portion151protrudes from the inner surface of the display panel220. The screw can pass through the screw connection portion151to be screw-connected with the screw pillar.

When the display assembly100is mounted on the face frame280, the first blocking protrusion132may be inserted into the side of the second blocking protrusion270towards the display panel220first; then rotate the display box10, and press the upper and right portions of the display box10, respectively, to engage the first elastic buckle250with the first buckle122, and the second elastic buckle260with the second buckle141; finally, the screw connection portion151and the display panel220are connected by screws.

As such, through the above structural arrangement, the display box10and the display assembly100can be firmly mounted at the face frame280.

It should be pointed out here that in this embodiment, the display panel220is translucent but not transparent, so the light from the indicator light32and the digital display light33can be displayed without opening holes. Thus, the display panel220usually only has a key mounting hole210, and the key via hole111on the display box10corresponds to the key mounting hole210. As can be seen from the above structure, the flexible isolation pad40can seal the key via hole111and key mounting hole210, therefore, cold air can be effectively prevented from entering the display box to prevent the condensate from forming on the electric control board30, which can constitute the three-layer isolation protection of the display panel220, the base plate11and the flexible isolation pad40.

Further, as shown inFIG. 1, the housing200is provided with a partition groove201which divides the window air conditioner1000into an indoor unit200aand an outdoor unit200b. The window air conditioner1000is installed at the window, and the partition groove201is used for the shielding member provided at the window to extend.

As shown inFIG. 1, the window air conditioner1000further includes a mounting base400and a sealing member500, the mounting base400is movably mounted on the partition groove201, the sealing member500is inserted and connected to the mounting base400, the sealing member500is fixed in an interference fit with the mounting base400by deformation, and the sealing member500is driven by the mounting base400to switch between the storage state and the working state.

In the storage state, the sealing member500is stored in the partition groove201.

In the working state, the sealing member500extends laterally from the partition groove201, and is suitable for abutting on the side wall of the shielding member and/or the window.

Specially, the window air conditioner1000further includes a compressor (not shown), an outdoor heat exchanger (not shown), an outdoor fan (not shown) and an indoor fan (not shown) provided in the housing200. The compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor fan are provided in the outdoor unit200b. The display assembly100, the indoor heat exchanger300, and the indoor fan are installed in the indoor unit200a.

After the window air conditioner1000is mounted at the window of the wall, the indoor unit200ais located indoors, and the outdoor unit200bis located outdoors. In this way, not only the noise can be blocked and the noise reduction effect can be achieved; moreover, the shielding member provided at the window can be extended into the partition groove201to reduce the interference of the window air conditioner1000on the shielding member. It should be noted that the shielding member can block curtains, window shutters, or sashes that block light, or other protective window plates that can block external objects from entering the room.

It should be noted that in the technical solution of the present disclosure, the sealing member500is inserted into and connected to the mounting base400, and the sealing member500is fixed in an interference fit with the mounting base400by deformation, such that the assembly of both the sealing member500and the mounting base400does not require components such as the screw structures or the clamping structure. The assembly process is relatively simple and the operation difficulty is low, which helps to improve assembly efficiency. The deformation may be flexible deformation or elastic deformation.

Alternatively, the sealing member500can be switched between the storage state and the working state by being driven by the mounting base400. In the storage state, the sealing member500is stored in the partition groove201to fully utilize the partition groove201to store the sealing member500to reduce the overall volume of the window air conditioner1000, which is convenient for storage or packaging and transportation. In the working state, the sealing member500extends laterally from the partition groove201for the shielding member and/or the inner wall of the window to resist, to seal the gap between the shielding member and the inner wall of the installation opening, to reduce the leakage of cold or heat to the outside and prevent the water in the outdoor environment from falling into the room from the gap, thereby greatly enhancing the sealing effect.

Besides, since the sealing member500can be deformed flexibly or elastically, when the shielding member is pressed down against the surface of the sealing member500, the sealing member500will also deform slightly. Therefore, the seal between the sealing member500and the shielding member can be made tighter, it is not easy to form a gap between the sealing member500and the shielding member, the sealing effect is improved, and the effect of waterproofing, leakproof and cold heat is effectively enhanced.

The above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and thus do not limit the scope of the present disclosure. Based on the present disclosure, equivalent structural transformations made by the description and drawings of the present disclosure, or direct/indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present disclosure.
