Referring to fig. 1-4, a panel 10 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model includes: the panel body 11 and the decoration 12, the outer surface of the panel body 11 is formed with a positioning groove 110, and the decoration 12 is accommodated in the positioning groove 110.

For example, the panel 10 may be used in an air conditioner, where the inner surface of the panel body 11 refers to the surface of the panel body 11 facing the inside of the air conditioner, and the outer surface of the panel body 11 refers to the surface of the panel body 11 facing away from the air conditioner. The outer surface of the panel body 11 may be formed with two positioning grooves 110, the two positioning grooves 110 may be disposed at intervals in the left-right direction, the number of the decorative pieces 12 may be two, and the two decorative pieces 12 may be respectively accommodated in the corresponding positioning grooves 110.

The decoration 12 is accommodated in the positioning groove 110, and the positioning groove 110 can position the decoration 12, so that the positioning is simple and convenient when the decoration strip 16 is assembled, the decoration 12 is conveniently assembled on the panel body 11, the reliability of the decoration 12 can be improved, and the assembly efficiency can be improved; moreover, the decoration 12 is accommodated in the positioning groove 110, so that the overall structure of the panel 10 is compact, and the occupation of the panel 10 to the space is reduced.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, a gap L is provided between the decorative member 12 and the sidewall of the positioning groove 110, the gap L being not more than 1mm, preventing the gap between the decorative member 12 and the sidewall of the positioning groove 110 from being excessively large, and reducing the possibility of dust entering the air conditioner from the gap. For example, the gap L between the decorative piece 12 and the side wall of the positioning groove 110 may be 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, or 0.8mm.

According to the panel 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the decorative element 12 is accommodated in the positioning groove 110 of the panel body 11, and the positioning groove 110 can position the decorative element 12, so that the decorative element 16 is positioned more simply and conveniently when being assembled, the decorative element 12 is assembled on the panel body 11 conveniently, the reliability of the decorative element 12 can be improved, and the assembly efficiency can be improved; moreover, the decoration 12 is accommodated in the positioning groove 110, so that the overall structure of the panel 10 is compact, and the occupation of the panel 10 to the space is reduced.

Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 12, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning groove 110 has a rectangular shape, and at least one side of the positioning groove 110 is opened 111.

The opening 111 on at least one side of the positioning groove 110 means that at least one side of the positioning groove 110 does not have a sidewall. For example, one side of the positioning groove 110 is opened 111; or two side openings 111 of the positioning groove 110; or three of the side openings 111 of the positioning groove 110; or the positioning groove 110 does not have a sidewall.

It will be appreciated that in the manufacturing process of the decoration, there is a certain range of tolerance in the size of the decoration, when the positioning groove is a groove structure that is closed along the circumferential direction thereof, the decoration is assembled in the positioning groove to interfere with the side wall of the positioning groove easily when the size variation of the decoration exceeds the original design tolerance range, and it is difficult to realize the assembly of the decoration in the positioning groove, for example, when the size of the decoration exceeds the size of the positioning groove, it is difficult to realize the accommodation of the decoration in the positioning groove.

Therefore, through the opening 111 on at least one side of the rectangular positioning groove 110, even if the size of the decoration 12 is changed beyond the original design tolerance, the decoration 12 is not easy to interfere with the positioning groove 110, and the decoration 12 is more convenient to be assembled in the positioning groove 110. Thus, when designing the size of the decorative member 12, the tolerance range of the size of the decorative member 12 can be increased, the required accuracy of the size of the decorative member 12 can be reduced, and thus the production efficiency of the decorative member 12 can be improved.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5 and 12, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning groove 110 has an elongated shape, and one side of the positioning groove 110 in the length direction is opened 111. For example, the positioning groove 110 extends in the up-down direction, and the lower side opening 111 of the positioning groove 110, i.e., the lower side of the positioning groove 110, does not have a sidewall.

The positioning groove 110 is long, the decoration 12 can also be long, and when the decoration is produced, the dimension of the decoration in the length direction is easier to generate larger tolerance, and the assembly interference problem is easier to generate with the positioning groove in the length direction. Through the one side opening 111 in the length direction of the positioning groove 110, the decoration 12 is not easy to interfere with the positioning groove 110 in the length direction of the positioning groove 110, and the decoration 12 is more convenient to be assembled in the positioning groove 110. Further, when designing the dimensions of the decorative strip 16, the tolerance range of the dimensions of the decorative strip 12 in the longitudinal direction thereof can be increased, and the required accuracy of the dimensions of the decorative strip 12 can be reduced to improve the production efficiency of the decorative strip 12.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, in some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the sidewall of the positioning groove 110 extending in the length direction of the positioning groove 110 is a long sidewall 112, the long sidewall 112 includes a first sidewall 113 and a second sidewall 114 arranged in the length direction of the positioning groove 110, the second sidewall 114 is connected to one side of the first sidewall 113 adjacent to the opening 111, and the height of the second sidewall 114 is gradually reduced in the direction from the first sidewall 113 to the second sidewall 114.

The end of the second sidewall 114 far away from the first sidewall 113 is adjacent to the opening 111, and by gradually reducing the height of the second sidewall 114 in the direction from the first sidewall 113 to the second sidewall 114, the second sidewall 114 can be prevented from having an edge at the end adjacent to the opening 111, the edge can be prevented from scraping other components during transportation of the panel 10, and the edge can be prevented from scratching workers during installation of the panel 10, thereby improving safety.

For example, referring to fig. 11 and 12, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning groove 110 extends in the up-down direction, the positioning groove 110 has a sidewall extending in the up-down direction, the positioning groove 110 also has a sidewall extending in the left-right direction, the sidewall extending in the up-down direction of the positioning groove 110 is longer, and may be a long sidewall 112, the long sidewall 112 includes a first sidewall 113 and a second sidewall 114 arranged in the up-down direction, the second sidewall 114 is connected to the lower side of the first sidewall 113, and the second sidewall 114 is adjacent to the opening 111.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, in some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the outwardly facing end edge of the first side wall 113 is a first outer end edge 115 and the outwardly facing end edge of the second side wall 114 is a second outer end edge 116 along the height direction of the long side wall 112, and the angle α between the first outer end edge 115 and the second outer end edge 116 ranges from 3 ° to 10 °. Alternatively, the angle α between the first outer end edge 115 and the second outer end edge 116 may be 4 °,5 °,6 ° or 8 °.

By the included angle alpha between the first outer end edge 115 and the second outer end edge 116 being not larger than 10 degrees, the height change of the second side wall 114 can be prevented from being abrupt, the edge angles at two ends of the second side wall 114 caused by the overlarge height reduction amplitude of the second side wall 114 can be prevented, and the safety is improved; by having the angle α between the first outer end edge 115 and the second outer end edge 116 not smaller than 3 °, the second side wall 114 is prevented from having an edge angle at an end adjacent to the opening 111, and safety is improved. Therefore, the included angle alpha between the first outer end edge 115 and the second outer end edge 116 has a proper range, so that the edge angle generated at the end part of the second side wall 114 is prevented, other parts can be prevented from being scratched by the edge angle in the transportation process of the panel 10, staff can be prevented from being scratched by the edge angle in the process of installing the panel 10, and the safety is further improved.

For example, referring to fig. 11 and 12, when the panel 10 is mounted to an air conditioner, the positioning groove 110 extends in the up-down direction, the long side wall 112 extends in the up-down direction, the thickness direction of the long side wall 112 may be the left-right direction, and the height direction of the long side wall 112 may be the front-rear direction. The outwardly facing end surface of the first side wall 113 may be a first front end surface, the long side of which extending in the up-down direction is a first outer end side 115; the outwardly facing end surface of the second side wall 114 may be a second front end surface, and the long side of the second front end surface extending in the up-down direction may be a second outer end side 116. The second side wall 114 gradually decreases in height, and the second outer end edge 116 extends obliquely with respect to the first outer end surface, and an included angle α is formed between the first outer end edge 115 and the second outer end edge 116.

In some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning groove 110 has an elongated shape, and one side of the positioning groove 110 in the width direction is opened 111. For example, the positioning groove 110 extends in the up-down direction, the width direction of the positioning groove 110 may be the left-right direction, and one of the left and right sides of the positioning groove 110 is opened 111, i.e., there is no sidewall on the left or right side of the positioning groove 110. When the positioning grooves 110 are two, which are arranged at left and right intervals, the left side opening 111 of the positioning groove 110 is positioned at the left side, and the right side opening 111 of the positioning groove 110 is positioned at the right side.

When the decorative strip is produced, the dimension of the decorative strip in the width direction is easy to generate larger tolerance, and the problem of assembly interference with the positioning groove in the width direction is easy to generate. Through the one-side opening 111 in the width direction of the positioning groove 110, the decorative piece 12 is less likely to interfere with the positioning groove 110 in the width direction of the positioning groove 110, and it is more convenient to fit the decorative piece 12 into the positioning groove 110. Further, in designing the dimensions of the decorative strip 16, the tolerance range of the dimensions of the decorative strip 12 in the width direction thereof can be increased, and the required accuracy of the dimensions of the decorative strip 12 can be reduced to improve the production efficiency of the decorative strip 12.
