[0050] The present invention provides a window air conditioner.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, the window air conditioner includes a chassis 1, a front frame 2, and an air inlet panel 3. The front frame 2 is installed on the chassis 1. The front side of the front frame 2 has an indoor air inlet 21 and a lower frame edge 22 located below the indoor air inlet 21. A buckle groove structure 221 is provided on the lower frame edge 22. The air inlet panel 3 is rotatably connected to the lower frame edge 22. The air inlet panel 3 is provided with a buckle 31, and the buckle 31 is inserted into the buckle groove structure 221. The lower frame edge 22 includes a frame bottom 222 and an edge 223 located at the lower peripheral edge of the indoor air inlet 21. The edge 223 is provided on the frame bottom 222. The frame bottom 222 abuts against the front side wall of the chassis 1. The buckle groove structure 221 penetrates the edge 223 in the front-rear direction. A gap 4 for the buckle 31 to rotate and make way is formed between the inner surface of the edge 223 and the front side wall of the chassis 1.

[0052] The front frame 2 is installed on the chassis 1. The front side of the front frame 2 has an indoor air inlet 21. The air inlet panel 3 is arranged at the indoor air inlet 21 to make the air entering the window air conditioner more uniform and at the same time prevent foreign objects from entering the air conditioner. Optionally, the air inlet panel 3 is a perforated plate or an air inlet grille. A number of uniformly distributed through holes are provided on the perforated plate or the air inlet grille to achieve uniform air intake. The air inlet panel 3 is rotatably connected to the lower frame edge 22 of the front frame 2, so that the air inlet panel 3 can rotate relative to the lower frame edge 22 to open or close the indoor air inlet 21. The air inlet panel 3 is provided with a buckle 31, and a buckle groove structure 221 is provided on the lower frame edge 22. The buckle 31 is inserted into the buckle groove structure 221 to achieve the rotational snap connection between the air inlet panel 3 and the lower frame edge 22.

[0053] The lower frame edge 22 includes a frame bottom 222 that abuts against the front side wall of the chassis 1 and an edge 223 provided on the frame bottom 222. The buckle groove structure 221 penetrates the edge 223 in the front-rear direction, so that the buckle 31 can be smoothly inserted into the buckle groove structure 221. At the same time, a gap 4 is formed between the inner surface of the edge 223 and the front side wall of the chassis 1. When the air inlet panel 3 rotates relative to the front frame 2 to drive the buckle 31 to rotate in the buckle groove structure 221, the gap 4 can provide a space for the buckle 31 to rotate and make way, preventing the buckle 31 from interfering with the front side wall of the chassis 1 during the rotation process, resulting in the buckle 31 being simultaneously pressured by the front side wall of the chassis 1 and the buckle groove structure 221, causing the buckle 31 to break or deform.

[0054] It can be understood that when the buckle member 31 is inserted into the buckle groove structure 221 and rotates within the buckle groove structure 221, in order to prevent the buckle member 31 from breaking or deforming, the method of thickening the lower frame edge 22 can be adopted to play a strengthening role. However, this method will result in a relatively thick face frame 2, which affects the aesthetics and increases the cost at the same time. It is also possible to deepen the groove depth of the buckle groove structure 221 so that the buckle member 31 has sufficient rotation space. However, this method will result in a relatively thin lower frame edge 22, which is likely to cause the lower frame edge 22 to break or deform during the rotation of the buckle member 31, during handling and transportation, or during a drop test. Therefore, in order to prevent the buckle member 31 from breaking or deforming and to prevent the lower frame edge 22 from breaking, a gap is provided between the edge portion 223 and the front side wall of the chassis 1 to make way for the rotation of the buckle member 31, thereby ensuring the stable installation and disassembly between the air inlet panel 3 and the face frame 2.

[0055] During the actual application process, the frame bottom 222 of the lower frame edge 22 abuts against the front side wall of the chassis 1, and the edge portion 223 is spaced from the front side wall of the chassis 1, reducing the area of direct contact with the chassis 1 and achieving the effect of shock absorption and noise reduction.

[0056] In the technical solution of the present invention, the face frame 2 is installed on the chassis 1. A buckle groove structure 221 is provided on the lower frame edge 22 of the face frame 2 below the indoor air inlet 21. The air inlet panel 3 is arranged at the indoor air inlet 21 and is rotatably connected to the lower frame edge 22. A buckle member 31 is provided on the air inlet panel 3, and the buckle member 31 is inserted into the buckle groove structure 221. The lower frame edge 22 includes a frame bottom 222 abutting against the front side wall of the chassis 1 and an edge portion 223 located on the frame bottom 222. The buckle groove structure 221 penetrates the edge portion 223 in the front-rear direction, and there is a gap 4 between the inner surface of the edge portion 223 and the front side wall of the chassis 1 to provide a space for the buckle member 31 to rotate within the buckle groove structure 221, thereby preventing the buckle member 31 from breaking during rotation or the lower frame edge 22 from deforming and breaking, and further improving the stability during the installation or disassembly of the air inlet panel 3 and the face frame 2, while ensuring the structural strength of the face frame 2.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 The edge portion 223 includes a first flanging 2231 extending upward from the frame bottom 222. The buckle groove structure 221 has an inlet 2211 that penetrates the first flanging 2231 in the front-rear direction, and a buckle portion 2212 extending from the lower edge of the inlet 2211 toward the chassis 1. The buckle portion 2212 is spaced from the frame bottom 222. When the upper end of the air inlet panel 3 rotates relative to the face frame 2 to open the indoor air inlet 21, the buckle member 31 is driven to rotate and abut against the lower surface of the buckle portion 2212.

[0058] It can be understood that the buckle groove structure 221 has an entrance 2211 and a buckling part 2212. The entrance 2211 is a channel for the buckle member 31 to extend into the buckle groove structure 221, and the buckling part 2212 is used to buckle or hook or abut against the buckle member 31 to realize the connection between the air inlet panel 3 and the lower frame edge 22. During actual application, when the lower end of the air inlet panel 3 is installed with the lower frame edge 22, the buckle member 31 is driven to pass through the entrance 2211 and enter the buckle groove structure 221. When the upper end of the air inlet panel 3 rotates relative to the front panel 2 to open the indoor air inlet 21, at this time, the buckle member 31 rotates in the buckle groove structure 221 so that the buckle member 31 abuts against the lower surface of the buckling part 2212 to prevent the buckle member 31 from falling off, and further enables the lower end of the air inlet panel 3 to be hung on the lower frame edge 22. Without completely disassembling and placing the air inlet panel 3 separately, the indoor air inlet 21 can be opened, improving the convenience of maintenance and repair.

[0059] The specific structure of the entrance 2211 can be determined according to the actual situation, as long as the buckle member 31 can be smoothly inserted into the buckle groove structure 221. Optionally, the entrance 2211 can be a notch formed at the top of the first flanging 2231; it can also be a through hole provided on the first flanging 2231.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,the distance between the buckling part 2212 and the front side wall of the chassis 1 is greater than the width of the gap 4. It can be understood that the extending length of the buckling part 2212 towards the chassis 1 can be determined according to the actual situation. The space between the buckling part 2212 and the front side wall of the chassis 1 is actually the space for the buckle member 31 to rotate. Optionally, when the width of the gap 4 is large enough, the distance between the buckling part 2212 and the front side wall of the chassis 1 can be the same as that of the gap 4; preferably, the distance between the buckling part 2212 and the front side wall of the chassis 1 is greater than the width of the gap 4, reducing the thickness of the lower frame edge 22 and making the structure more compact.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,the edge part 223 further includes a second flanging 2232 extending from the top of the first flanging 2231 towards the chassis 1. In the up and down direction, the second flanging 2232 is higher than the buckling part 2212; the buckle groove structure 221 further includes two side edges 2213 extending downward from the second flanging 2232 to the frame bottom 222. The two side edges 2213 are oppositely arranged and are respectively connected to both sides of the buckling part 2212. The upper surface of the buckling part 2212 and the two side edges 2213 enclose to form the entrance 2211. The side edges 2213 are connected between the second flanging 2232 and the frame bottom 222, and the buckling part 2212 and the side edges 2213 improve the abutting strength between the buckling part 2212 and the buckle member 31.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a plurality of reinforcing ribs 2233 are provided between the second flanging 2232 and the frame bottom 222 to enhance the strength of the lower frame edge 22. At the same time, since the buckle portion 2212 is connected to the side edge 2213, and the side edge 2213 is connected to the second flanging 2232 and the frame bottom 222, the reinforcing ribs 2233 play a role in increasing the abutting strength between the buckle portion 2212 and the buckle member 31.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 , the buckle member 31 includes a connecting portion 311 and a hook portion 312. The connecting portion 311 is connected to the air inlet panel 3, and the hook portion 312 is connected to the free end of the connecting portion 311 and extends downward. When the air inlet panel 3 rotates relative to the face frame 2 to close the indoor air inlet 21, the connecting portion 311 rotates to abut against the top wall of the buckle portion 2212, and the hook portion 312 is located between the end of the buckle portion 2212 and the front side wall of the chassis 1. Since the hook portion 312 is provided at the free end of the connecting portion 311 and extends downward, when the buckle member 31 is inserted into the buckle groove structure 221, the hook portion 312 enters first, then the air inlet panel 3 is rotated, the connecting portion 311 enters, and when the air inlet panel 3 is further rotated to close the indoor air inlet 21, the connecting portion 311 abuts against the top wall of the buckle portion 2212, and the hook portion 312 rotates to between the buckle portion 2212 and the chassis 1 to realize the installation of the air inlet panel 3 and the face frame 2.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 10 , a limiting protrusion 313 is provided at the free end of the hook portion 312. When the air inlet panel 3 rotates relative to the face frame 2 to open the indoor air inlet 21, it drives the buckle member 31 to rotate in the buckle groove structure 221, so that the limiting protrusion 313 abuts against the bottom wall of the buckle portion 2212. The limiting protrusion 313 abuts against the bottom wall of the buckle portion 2212 to prevent the buckle member 31 from disengaging from the buckle groove structure 221, thereby realizing the function that the air inlet panel 3 and the face frame 2 are not completely separated and the indoor air inlet 21 can be opened.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 11 to 13 , the lower frame edge 22 further includes a guide groove 224. An arc-shaped guide hook 32 that bends downward is provided on the air inlet panel 3. The inner wall of the guide groove 224 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped guide hook 32 is inserted into the guide groove 224 to rotate in cooperation with the inner wall of the guide groove 224. Since the guide groove 224 with an arc-shaped inner wall is provided on the lower frame edge 22, and the arc-shaped guide hook 32 is provided on the air inlet panel 3 and rotates in cooperation with the inner wall of the guide groove 224, it plays a guiding role in the rotation of the air inlet panel 3 relative to the face frame 2, making the rotational movement of the air inlet panel 3 more stable.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , a clamping groove 23 is provided at the upper edge of the face frame 2 corresponding to the upper edge of the indoor air inlet 21, and a clamping member 33 is provided at the upper edge of the air inlet panel 3. When the air inlet panel 3 rotates relative to the face frame 2 to close the indoor air inlet 21, the clamping member 33 is clamped and fixed in the clamping groove 23. A clamping member 33 is provided at the upper edge of the air inlet panel 3, and a clamping groove 23 is provided at the upper edge of the face frame 2 corresponding to the upper edge of the indoor air inlet 21. When the air inlet panel 3 needs to close the indoor air inlet 21, the air inlet panel 3 can be rotated towards the face frame 2 so that the clamping member 33 is clamped and fixed in the clamping groove 23, thereby realizing the installation of the air inlet panel 3 and the face frame 2; when the air inlet panel 3 needs to open the indoor air inlet 21, the user can break the clamping member 33 out of the clamping groove 23, and then rotate the air inlet panel 3 in a direction away from the face frame 2 to open the indoor air inlet 21.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 14 to 16 , the window air conditioner further includes a water receiving tray 5, the water receiving tray 5 is arranged in the chassis 1, and the side wall of the water receiving tray 5 is arranged with a gap from the side wall of the chassis 1. The water receiving tray 5 is arranged in the chassis 1 to receive the condensed water generated during the operation of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is operating in the refrigeration mode, the temperature of the evaporator is relatively low. While the water receiving tray 5 receives the condensed water on the evaporator, its own temperature will also decrease. There is a gap between the water receiving tray 5 and the cavity wall of the chassis 1, which prevents the low temperature of the water receiving tray 5 from being conducted to the chassis 1, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the chassis 1, and further preventing the phenomenon that condensed water is generated outside the chassis 1 and drips into the room.

[0068] In the actual application process, the distance between the water receiving tray 5 and the chassis 1 can be determined according to the actual situation, such as according to the size of the air conditioner or the material selection of the water receiving tray 5 and the chassis 1. In this embodiment, the distance between the water receiving tray 5 and the chassis 1 is between 3 mm and 5 mm, and 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm or 5 mm can be selected, etc.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , a convex rib 51 is provided on the outer side wall of the water receiving tray 5, and the convex rib 51 abuts against the side wall of the chassis 1. When the convex rib 51 is located at the bottom of the water receiving tray 5, it plays a role of spacing and supporting. When the convex rib 51 is located on the side wall of the water receiving tray 5, it plays a role of spacing between the side wall of the water receiving tray 5 and the side wall of the chassis 1. Since the convex rib 51 is provided, the contact area with the chassis 1 is reduced, thereby reducing the low temperature conduction of the water receiving tray 5 to the chassis 1 to prevent condensed water from being generated on the part of the chassis 1 located on the indoor side.

[0070] In the actual application process, the rib 51 can be provided on the water receiving tray 5 or on the chassis 1. In this embodiment, structures such as the indoor heat exchanger and the filter screen in the air conditioner are directly provided on the water receiving tray 5. Therefore, when selecting the material for the water receiving tray 5, it is necessary to have a certain rigidity to support the installation of the indoor heat exchanger and the filter screen, etc. Therefore, it is preferable that the water receiving tray 5 is made of a plastic part and the chassis 1 is made of a sheet metal part. Considering factors such as the heat conduction degree and processing difficulty of the materials of the chassis 1 and the water receiving tray 5, when the chassis 1 is a sheet metal part and the water receiving tray 5 is a plastic part, the rib 51 is preferably provided on the water receiving tray 5 with a relatively poor heat conduction effect, that is, the rib 51 and the water receiving tray 5 are an integrally formed structure and are made by injection molding with a mold.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , there are a plurality of ribs 51, and the plurality of ribs 51 are evenly distributed between the side wall of the water receiving tray 5 and the side wall of the chassis 1. The plurality of ribs 51 are evenly distributed between the side wall of the water receiving tray 5 and the side wall of the chassis 1, so that a fixed gap can always be maintained between the water receiving tray 5 and the chassis 1, preventing the water receiving tray 5 or the chassis 1 from colliding and deforming and coming into contact with each other to conduct low temperature.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 , the window air conditioner further includes a casing 6 installed on the chassis 1. A partition groove 61 for a shielding member located at the window of the wall to extend into is formed on the casing 6. The casing 6 is divided into an indoor side housing and an outdoor side housing by the partition groove 61. Among them, an indoor side cavity is formed inside the indoor side housing, and an outdoor side cavity is formed inside the outdoor side housing.

[0073] The window air conditioner is suitable for being installed in a window. The casing 6 is provided on the chassis 1. The shielding member on the window is moved into the partition groove 61 to divide the casing 6 into an indoor side housing and an outdoor side housing. In the actual application process, the window air conditioner is suitable for windows with various specific shielding members as long as it is ensured that the shielding member can extend into the partition groove 61. The shielding member can be a window sash, or a curtain, or a window blind, etc.

[0074] Further, please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 , the window air conditioner further includes a sealing member 7, and the sealing member 7 is movably installed in the partition groove 61; the sealing member 7 is suitable for switching between a storage state and a working state by moving; wherein:

[0075] In the storage state, the sealing member 7 is stored in the partition groove 61;

[0076] In the sealed state, the sealing member 7 extends out from the side of the partition groove 61 and is suitable for being abutted against the shielding member and / or the inner wall of the window.

[0077] The seal 7 is movably installed on the casing 6. When the shielding member moves into the partition groove 61, considering that the width dimension of the window may be larger than the width dimension of the window air conditioner, there will be a gap between the end of the shielding member that does not extend into the partition groove 61 and the window sill at this time. The seal 7 is driven to laterally extend out of the partition groove 61 to abut against the inner wall of the shielding member, so as to block the gap between the shielding member and the window sill and prevent air leakage or rain leakage. When the window air conditioner is not in use, the seal 7 can be received in the partition groove 61 to reduce the occupied space of the window air conditioner.

[0078] It can be understood that the movable connection manner between the seal 7 and the casing 6 can be determined according to the actual situation, such as being set as a rotational connection, a sliding connection or a splicing connection manner.

[0079] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the description and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
