[0034] The present invention provides a mobile air conditioner. When the mobile air conditioner is not in use, the user can store the exhaust air accessory on the mobile air conditioner, reducing the occurrence of loss of the exhaust air accessory.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the mobile air conditioner 100 of the present invention, the mobile air conditioner 100 includes a housing 110, an exhaust air accessory, and a connection kit 140. The housing 110 is provided with an air outlet 111. The exhaust air accessory has a communication state in which the air outlet 111 is communicated with the outdoor environment, and a storage state in which it is placed on the housing 110. The connection kit 140 is used to loop and fix the exhaust air accessory on the housing 110 when the exhaust air accessory is in the storage state.

[0036] Specifically, an indoor heat exchange chamber and an outdoor heat exchange chamber are formed inside the housing 110 and are arranged vertically. The air outlet 111 of the housing 110 is communicated with the outdoor heat exchange chamber. The mobile air conditioner 100 further includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, an indoor fan, and an outdoor fan. Among them, the indoor heat exchanger and the indoor fan are arranged in the indoor heat exchange chamber. The outdoor heat exchanger and the outdoor fan are arranged in the outdoor heat exchange chamber. When the exhaust duct 120 is in the communication state, one end of the exhaust duct 120 is connected to the air outlet 111, and the other end of the exhaust duct 120 is installed on the window frame 200.

[0037] When the mobile air conditioner 100 is operating, the indoor fan drives external air into the indoor heat exchange chamber, and after heat exchange by the indoor heat exchanger, it is delivered to the indoor environment. At the same time, the outdoor fan drives external air into the outdoor heat exchange chamber, and after heat exchange with the outdoor heat exchanger, it is discharged to the outdoor environment through the exhaust air accessory.

[0038] When the mobile air conditioner 100 is not working, the exhaust accessory is detached from the housing 110, and the exhaust accessory is placed on the housing 110 to be in a storage state. Then, the exhaust accessory is looped and fixed to the housing 110 through the connection kit 140, and the exhaust accessory and the housing 110 can be connected as a whole. Thus, the overall space occupied by the mobile air conditioner 100 is relatively small, which is more convenient for storage.

[0039] It should be noted that the housing 110 includes a bottom plate, a front panel, a back panel, and side panels located between the front panel and the back panel. The air outlet 111 can be provided on the side panel or the back panel. Specifically here, the air outlet 111 is provided on the back panel to hide the air outlet 111. In addition, the exhaust accessory can also be stored in the side panel or the back panel. Similarly, in order to hide the exhaust accessory, it is preferably to store the exhaust accessory in the back panel.

[0040] According to the technical solution of the present invention, by providing the connection kit 140 on the mobile air conditioner 100, the connection kit 140 is used to loop and fix the exhaust accessory to the housing 110, so that the exhaust accessory and the housing 110 are connected as a whole, and further, the overall space occupied by the mobile air conditioner 100 is relatively small, which is more convenient for storage and not easy to lose. When the exhaust accessory needs to be used, the exhaust accessory is released from the connection kit 140 and installed on the window installation frame 200.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the connection kit 140 includes a loop portion 141 arranged in an arc shape, and connection portions 142 extending from both ends of the loop portion 141 in the same direction. Among them, the loop portion 141 is used to loop the exhaust accessory, and the connection portion 142 is used to connect with the housing 110. Equivalently, the connection kit 140 is arranged in a U shape or a C shape. The loop portion 141 and the connection portion 142 are integrally formed structures. For the connection method of the connection portion 142 and the housing 110, the following two methods are exemplified here:

[0042] One connection method is that the connection portion 142 is detachably connected to the housing 110. For example, but not limited to: the connection portion 142 and the housing 110 are detachably connected through any one of a screw connection structure, a snap connection structure, a magnetic attraction structure, and a slot matching structure. Specifically here, the connection portion 142 and the housing 110 are connected through a snap connection structure. Among them, the connection portion 142 is provided with a snap 143, and the surface of the housing 110 is provided with a snap hole corresponding to the snap 143, and the snap 143 is correspondingly snapped with the snap hole. When storing, first place the exhaust accessory on the housing 110, then loop the connection kit 140 from one side of the exhaust accessory, and finally connect and fix the connection kit 140 with the housing 110.

[0043] Another connection method is that the connecting part 142 is rotatably connected to the housing 110. Such a design enables the connecting kit 140 to be turned up and down along the height direction of the mobile air conditioner (such as the C-shaped handle of a bucket). When storing, first turn the connecting kit 140 to the horizontal, and then pass the exhaust accessory through the connecting kit 140 from top to bottom, so that the exhaust accessory can be pressed against the housing 110. During assembly, pull out the exhaust accessory from the connecting kit 140 in the reverse direction and connect it to the air outlet 111; then turn the connecting kit 140 to lean against the surface of the housing 110 to reduce the occupied space.

[0044] In one embodiment, considering that the air outlet 111 is exposed to the environment, insects (such as cockroaches or mice) or dust in the environment may enter the interior of the housing 110 from the air outlet 111, damaging or polluting the internal components of the mobile air conditioner 100. To reduce the occurrence of these situations, optionally, when the exhaust accessory is in the storage state, the exhaust accessory blocks the air outlet 111. Thus, it is difficult for insects (such as cockroaches or mice) or dust in the environment to cross the exhaust accessory and enter the air outlet 111.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 110 is further provided with an air inlet 112 communicating with the air outlet 111. Similarly, to reduce the situation that insects (such as cockroaches or mice) or dust in the environment enter the interior of the housing 110 from the air inlet 112, optionally, when the exhaust accessory is in the storage state, the exhaust accessory blocks the air inlet 112. Thus, it is difficult for insects (such as cockroaches or mice) or dust in the environment to cross the exhaust accessory and enter the air inlet 112.

[0046] In one embodiment, the exhaust accessory includes an exhaust duct 120, and one end of the exhaust duct 120 is detachably connected to the air outlet 111. After the exhaust duct 120 is disassembled, it can be stored on the housing 110 through the connecting kit 140, for specific reference to the foregoing description. Considering that the radial cross-section of the exhaust duct 120 is circular and the length in the axial direction of the exhaust duct 120 is relatively large. And the height of the mobile air conditioner is relatively large, so optionally, when the exhaust duct 120 is disassembled and placed in the storage state, the exhaust duct 120 extends in a long strip shape along the height direction of the mobile air conditioner 100 to reasonably utilize the space in the height direction of the mobile air conditioner.

[0047] In one embodiment, to ensure that the air discharged from the exhaust duct 120 does not enter the room again, the exhaust accessory includes a window sealing plate 130 with a ventilation opening, and the ventilation opening of the window sealing plate 130 is detachably connected to the other end of the exhaust duct 120. The air outlet end of the exhaust duct 120 is installed on the window frame 200 through the window sealing plate 130. After the window sealing plate 130 is disassembled, it is fixed to the housing 110 together with the exhaust duct 120 by the connecting kit 140.

[0048] Generally speaking, the length of the window sealing plate 130 is greater than that of the exhaust duct 120. If the window sealing plate 130 is placed on the side of the exhaust duct 120 that is farther from the housing 110, the window sealing plate 130 may shake. In view of this, after the window sealing plate 130 is disassembled and placed in the storage state, the window sealing plate 130 is located between the housing 110 and the exhaust duct 120. With this design, the window sealing plate 130 can be pressed against the housing 110 by the exhaust duct 120, so that the window sealing plate 130 does not shake easily, thereby improving the stability of the exhaust accessory when it is stored on the housing 110.

[0049] Regarding the specific structure of the window sealing plate 130, the window sealing plate 130 can be a single-layer plate or a double-layer plate. In this embodiment, the window sealing plate 130 includes a first layer plate 131 and a second layer plate 132 that are stacked. The first layer plate 131 is provided with the ventilation opening, and the second layer plate 132 can slide relative to the first layer plate 131 to open or cover the ventilation opening.

[0050] Specifically, the positions of the first layer plate 131 and the second layer plate 132 are not limited. The first layer plate 131 can be closer to the exhaust duct 120, or the second layer plate 132 can be closer to the exhaust duct 120. The second layer plate 132 is slidably mounted on the first layer plate 131. By adjusting the displacement of the second layer plate 132 sliding, the size of the air outlet surface of the ventilation opening can be correspondingly adjusted. In addition, the first layer plate 131 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes arranged at intervals along its length direction, and the second layer plate 132 is provided with alignment holes corresponding to any one of the mounting holes. When the second layer plate 132 slides to the required position, the mounting holes and the corresponding alignment holes are connected by screws.

[0051] In one embodiment, after the connection kit 140 fixes the exhaust accessory to the housing 110, the radial movement of the exhaust accessory is limited by the connection kit 140. The up-and-down movement of the exhaust accessory can be limited by the frictional force between the exhaust accessory and the connection kit 140. However, to prevent the exhaust accessory from accidentally falling down from the connection kit 140, optionally, the surface of the housing 110 is provided with a convex structure 113. When the exhaust accessory is in the storage state, the convex structure 113 supports the window sealing plate 130 and the exhaust duct 120, thereby restricting the downward movement of the exhaust accessory.

[0052] The convex structure 113 can be formed by the structure of the housing 110 itself, such as a wire winding base for winding the power cord. Or, the convex structure 113 is a support frame specially designed for the exhaust accessory. Specifically here, the convex structure 113 is a wire winding base for winding the power cord.

[0053] Regarding the fixing method of the convex structure 113, the convex structure 113 can be integrally formed with the housing 110, which can reduce the production process. Alternatively, the convex structure 113 is detachably connected to the housing 110. When the exhaust air accessory does not need to be supported, the convex structure 113 can be removed to reduce the occupied space. In addition, the convex structure 113 can be slidably installed on the inner and outer sides of the housing 110 along the housing 110. When the exhaust air accessory is supported, the convex structure 113 can be pulled out from the housing 110; conversely, when the exhaust air accessory does not need to be supported, the convex structure 113 is pushed into the housing 110, which can also reduce the occupied space.

[0054] Regarding the specific structure of the convex structure 113, there is no specific limitation. Optionally, the convex structure 113 includes a convex plate 1131 protruding backward from the surface of the housing 110, and a side plate 1132 located on one side of the convex plate 1131 and extending along the height direction of the mobile air conditioner. The lower end of the exhaust duct 120 is connected to the side plate 1132. The exhaust duct 120 and the side plate 1132 can be connected and fixed by a screw connection structure or a snap connection structure.

[0055] Specifically, the pipe joint of the exhaust duct 120 protrudes laterally with a hook structure 121, and the hook structure 121 is hooked to the side plate 1132. In theory, the window sealing plate 130 can be directly placed on the convex plate 1131. However, in view of the fact that the convex plate 1131 is used for winding the power cord, to prevent the window sealing plate 130 from pressing against the power cord, the bottom of the window sealing plate 130 is abutted against the hook structure 121 here.

[0056] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
