If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0084] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0085] Reference Figure 1 , providing a window air conditioner, to be more precise, a vertical window air conditioner, that is, the height dimension of the air conditioner is greater than the width dimension of the air conditioner, and the width dimension of the air conditioner is the specification dimension of the air conditioner along the horizontal direction and parallel to the window.

[0086] Structurally, the window air conditioner consists of a main unit and a mounting bracket 100 .

[0087] The mounting bracket 100 includes a fixing bracket 110 and a sliding bracket 120 . The fixing bracket 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111 . Thus, the host is horizontally inserted into the mounting hole 111 and then locked to achieve the fixing of the host to the mounting bracket 100 .

[0088] Specifically, the sliding frame 120 has two sliding rails 121 and a connecting rod connecting the two sliding rails 121 . One end of the two sliding rails 121 away from the connecting rod is inserted into the fixed frame 110 , so that the sliding frame 120 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 110 .

[0089] As shown in the figure, the sliding direction of the sliding frame 120 relative to the fixed frame 110 is the up and down direction, so as to adapt to the height specifications of the window.

[0090] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the slide rail 121 may include a metal shell 122 and a plastic inner core 123 fixed together, and the plastic inner core 123 is connected to the connecting rod.

[0091] In this embodiment, the slide rail 121 is composed of a metal shell 122 and a plastic core 123. Thus, on the one hand, the metal shell 122 is used to obtain a metallic appearance and texture to avoid affecting the appearance quality. On the other hand, the plastic core 123 is used to reduce weight and manufacturing costs.

[0092] like Figure 1 As shown, a retractable corrugated rubber is provided between the connecting rod and the fixing frame 110 , the corrugated rubber is provided between the two slide rails 121 , and both ends of the corrugated rubber are connected and fixed to the connecting rod and the fixing frame 110 .

[0093] Thus, when the fixed frame 110 and the sliding frame 120 are adjusted relative to each other, the corrugated rubber expands and contracts to compensate for the distance change.

[0094] like Figure 2 As shown, the metal shell 122 is semi-enclosed, and the metal shell 122 and the plastic inner core 123 cooperate to form a positioning groove, and the positioning groove is used to accommodate the edge of the corrugated rubber.

[0095] In this embodiment, the metal shell 122 is configured to be semi-enclosed, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the metal shell 122 and facilitate its manufacture by a low-cost sheet metal process.

[0096] In this embodiment, the metal shell 122 and the plastic core 123 cooperate to form a positioning groove. At the same time, the positioning groove is used to accommodate the edge of the corrugated rubber. On the one hand, it can strengthen the separation between indoor and outdoor and reduce the entry of dust and noise. On the other hand, the plastic core 123 rubs against the corrugated rubber to reduce friction strength and reduce wear.

[0097] To meet the use requirements, a locking assembly 130 may be provided between the fixed frame 110 and the sliding frame 120 , and the locking assembly 130 is used to fix or release the sliding frame 120 and the fixed frame 110 .

[0098] That is, after the sliding frame 120 and the fixed frame 110 are respectively fixed to the window, the sliding frame 120 and the fixed frame 110 are fixed by the locking assembly 130, so that the sliding frame 120 and the fixed frame 110 can be prevented from moving relative to each other, thus meeting the use requirements.

[0099] At the same time, when the locking assembly 130 is released, the sliding frame 120 and the fixing frame 110 can move relative to each other to meet the needs of window opening, disassembly, etc.

[0100] like Figure 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the locking assembly 130 is provided. Specifically, the locking assembly 130 includes a locking bolt 131, a through hole for accommodating the locking bolt 131 to pass through, and a cantilever 132 threadedly connected to the locking bolt 131. The cantilever 132 is located in the fixing frame 110. One end of the cantilever 132 is preferably welded and fixed to the fixing frame 110, and the other end of the cantilever 132 abuts against the inner surface of the metal shell 122.

[0101] That is, the locking bolt 131 is rotated so that the locking bolt 131 drives the cantilever 132 to swing through thread transmission, and then the end of the cantilever 132 presses the metal shell 122 and the fixing frame 110 together to complete the locking and fixing.

[0102] Of course, threads may also be provided at the perforations to achieve the same effect.

[0103] Of course, threads may also be directly provided at the through-holes so that the end of the locking bolt 131 directly abuts against the metal shell 122 to achieve locking.

[0104] In particular, in this embodiment, the other end of the cantilever 132 abuts against the inner surface of the metal shell 122, without affecting the shape of the metal shell 122, and at the same time, the appearance of the metal shell 122 is not affected. Specifically, the outer surface of the metal shell 122 is flat and does not need to correspond to the cantilever 132, and the shape is not changed. The inner surface of the metal shell 122 contacts the cantilever 132, and the contact position is not visible, which does not affect the appearance.

[0105] In some preferred embodiments, the cantilever 132 may be provided with a bent portion 133 , and the inner side of the bent portion 133 is used to abut against the metal shell 122 .

[0106] In this embodiment, a bent portion 133 is provided to abut the metal shell 122, which can ensure that the metal shell 122 is inserted into the inner side of the bent portion 133 to avoid loosening, ensure that the locking assembly 130 can be effectively locked, and at the same time, the cantilever 132 has a larger deformation space and is not easy to break.

[0107] To facilitate the installation of the host and the mounting bracket 100, that is, to facilitate the installation of the host and the fixing frame 110, a guide rail structure is provided between the bottom of the host and the bottom of the mounting hole 111, so that when installing or removing the host, the guide rail structure props up the host so that the bottom of the host is separated from the bottom of the mounting hole 111, thereby reducing contact and reducing the risk of damage to the host.

[0108] The guide rail structure can be composed of a guide rail groove 610 and a sliding block located in the guide rail groove 610, or can be composed of a long guide rail and a sliding groove, but it is easy to generate noise and is also prone to wear during use.

[0109] In order to optimize the structure, a specific embodiment of the guide rail structure is provided, so that the guide rail structure has a guide rail groove 610 located on the host, a support wheel 112 located on the mounting bracket 100, and the support wheel 112 can be seen at Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the guide groove 610 can be seen at Figure 5 .

[0110] That is to say, the guide rail groove 610 of the main machine is overlapped on the supporting wheel 112, and then the main machine can be pushed and pulled without resistance, and the wear of the guide rail structure is reduced.

[0111] At the same time, the guide rail groove 610 is located on the main unit, which has little impact on the main unit and is easy to manufacture, while the support wheel 112 is located on the mounting bracket 100, which does not increase the size of the mounting bracket 100 in a direction perpendicular to the window, and is very convenient to assemble.

[0112] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the support wheel 112 and the guide rail groove 610 can be located on the side of the mounting bracket 100 close to the outdoors.

[0113] Therefore, when the main unit is fixed to the mounting bracket 100, the supporting wheels 112 and the guide rail grooves 610 are located outdoors and are not directly visible indoors, thus not affecting the indoor appearance of the air conditioner.

[0114] like Figure 5 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, a recess 620 for accommodating the support wheel 112 is provided at one end of the guide rail groove 610 close to the interior of the room.

[0115] A recess 620 is provided so that, on the one hand, the support wheel 112 can enter the recess 620 to confirm that the host is installed in place, and on the other hand, when installed in place, the host cannot slide at will, which facilitates the remaining installation work.

[0116] For the host, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the host has a shell 200 , an evaporation mechanism 300 , a condensation mechanism 400 and a bottom plate 600 located in the shell 200 , wherein the bottom plate 600 is located at the bottom of the shell 200 , and the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 are installed on the bottom plate 600 .

[0117] The chassis 600 is provided to avoid the evaporation mechanism 300, the condensation mechanism 400 and the partition plate 500 from being directly installed on the shell 200. This, on the one hand, reduces the difficulty of designing the shell 200 and facilitates the outer surface of the shell 200 to meet the appearance requirements. On the other hand, it simplifies the installation of the evaporation mechanism 300, the condensation mechanism 400 and the partition plate 500, and at the same time, facilitates the arrangement of the condensation water flow path and reduces the risk of condensation water leakage.

[0118] As for how to set the guide groove 610 on the host, the guide groove 610 can be directly arranged on the shell 200.

[0119] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the guide rail groove 610 may also be provided on the bottom surface of the chassis 600 , and the housing 200 may be provided with a connecting groove for accommodating the support wheel 112 to pass through.

[0120] The guide rail groove 610 is arranged on the chassis 600 to avoid the need to arrange the guide rail groove 610 on the shell 200 , thereby reducing the difficulty of designing and manufacturing the shell 200 and providing convenience for the shape design of the shell 200 .

[0121] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 200 may include a first half shell 210 and a second half shell 220 , and the first half shell 210 and the second half shell 220 cooperate with each other in the left-right direction to form an installation cavity for accommodating the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 .

[0122] That is to say, the boundary between the first half shell 210 and the second half shell 220 is such that the first half shell 210 or the second half shell 220 has a notch, and the notch can be used to form a connecting groove, further reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0123] The first half shell 210 and the second half shell 220 may also cooperate with each other in the up-down direction to form a mounting cavity for accommodating the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 .

[0124] Therefore, on one hand, the number of parts of the housing 200 is reduced, and the production cost is reduced; at the same time, the risk of loose assembly between parts is reduced, the overall strength of the housing 200 is improved, and deformation is reduced.

[0125] On the other hand, avoiding dividing the first half shell 210 and the second half shell 220 by the indoor and outdoor boundaries not only facilitates the arrangement of indoor ventilation ports 330, outdoor ventilation ports and corresponding partitions on the shell 200, but also facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the air conditioner.

[0126] As for the specific setting of the main unit, the evaporation mechanism 300 is arranged close to the indoor side, and has an evaporator 310, a first fan 320 and an indoor ventilation duct, while the condensation mechanism 400 is arranged close to the outdoor side, and has a compressor 410, a condenser 430, a second fan 420 and an outdoor ventilation duct, and of course, also includes corresponding pipes, lines and control boxes.

[0127] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , from indoors to outdoors, are the first fan 320, the evaporator 310, the compressor 410, the second fan 420 and the condenser 430, wherein the second fan 420 and the compressor 410 are located on one side of the condenser 430 along the window direction.

[0128] The second fan 420 and the compressor 410 are located on one side of the condenser 430 along the window direction, which can also reduce the length of the main unit protruding outside the room.

[0129] The indoor ventilation duct is used as an indoor ventilation passage for allowing indoor air to enter the housing 200 and flow through the evaporator 310 and the first fan 320 and then be discharged back into the room. It does not refer to a single part but can also be a part shared with other parts.

[0130] The functions of outdoor ventilation ducts are similar to those of indoor ventilation ducts and will not be discussed in detail.

[0131] Conventionally, the air conditioner only has the function of cooling the room. Of course, after setting the corresponding valve body, it can also have the heating function. For details, please refer to relevant information in the field of air conditioning.

[0132] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an anti-dropping convex edge 230 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 200 so that the outer contour of the host is larger than the aperture of the mounting hole 111 , thereby preventing the host from falling off from the mounting hole 111 to the outdoors.

[0133] like Figure 4 As shown, the housing 200 is also provided with a filter screen 340, and the filter screen 340 filters the indoor ventilation duct to reduce particles and dust in the air.

[0134] Correspondingly, the housing 200 is provided with a slot 240 , and the slot 240 is used for disassembly and assembly of the filter screen plate 340 .

[0135] In this embodiment, a slot 240 is provided in the shell 200 so that the filter plate 340 can be moved in and out of the slot 240 to complete assembly and disassembly, thereby eliminating the rotatable cover in the traditional air conditioner, reducing the weight of the air conditioner, reducing the cost of the air conditioner, and at the same time, making the appearance of the air conditioner simple and more beautiful.

[0136] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the filter screen plate 340 is composed of a grid frame and a filter screen located in the grid frame.

[0137] In this embodiment, the filter screen plate 340 is composed of a grid frame and a filter screen located in the grid frame, which not only ensures the filtering function, but also increases the strength of the filter screen plate 340 and facilitates insertion.

[0138] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a hand-holding portion 341 is provided in the thickness direction of the filter screen plate 340 , and the hand-holding portion 341 is provided at the edge of the filter screen plate 340 , more precisely, is a protrusion located at the top of the filter screen plate 340 .

[0139] Correspondingly, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing 200 is provided with a recess 241 for accommodating the hand-held portion 341 .

[0140] In this embodiment, a handle 341 is provided on the filter plate 340, thereby facilitating manual operation of the filter plate 340 for assembly and disassembly, and a recess 241 is provided to prevent the handle 341 from protruding toward the outside of the shell 200 and not affecting the contour of the air conditioner.

[0141] Since the shell 200 is mostly a thin-walled stamped plate and forms a mounting cavity for the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 , the overall strength of the shell 200 is insufficient.

[0142] To solve this problem, in this implementation, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a partition plate 500 is also provided.

[0143] Structurally, the partition plate 500 cooperates with the housing 200 to horizontally separate the evaporation mechanism 300 from the condensation mechanism 400, that is, to form two chambers for installing the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 respectively.

[0144] Of course, this does not mean that the separation can be achieved only by the cooperation of the partition plate 500 and the housing 200. Due to the existence of the chassis 600, the chassis 600 also participates in the separation. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, due to the layout reasons, the electric control box also participates in the partition.

[0145] In other words, the partition plate 500 should play a major role in partitioning, which is mainly reflected by the size of the partitioning area.

[0146] In this embodiment, a partition plate 500 is provided. On the one hand, the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 are separated to reduce dust and noise transmitted into the room. On the other hand, the edge of the partition plate 500 is connected to the inner wall of the shell 200 by plugging, snapping, etc., or directly abutting, thereby supporting the shell 200 from the inside of the shell 200. With less change to the structure of the shell 200, the strength of the shell 200 is increased, the deformation of the shell 200 is reduced, and the main unit is firmly fixed.

[0147] In order to achieve the matching and separation between the shell 200 and the partition plate 500 , the inner surface of the shell 200 may be provided with a limiting groove 250 for accommodating the edge of the partition plate 500 .

[0148] The limiting groove 250 is provided so that the partition plate 500 is connected to the housing 200 in a plug-in manner, which simplifies the installation method and reduces the production and assembly costs.

[0149] In some preferred embodiments, the limiting groove 250 may also be formed inside the anti-slip convex edge 230 .

[0150] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 250 is formed inside the anti-slip protrusion 230, so that, on the one hand, the anti-slip protrusion 230 is used to prevent the main unit from falling off, and on the other hand, the anti-slip protrusion 230 is fully utilized, and there is no need to additionally set a protrusion corresponding to the limiting groove 250 on the shell 200, thereby simplifying the structure and facilitating the manufacture of the shell 200.

[0151] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the partition plate 500 close to the evaporation mechanism 300 is used to form an indoor ventilation channel of the evaporation mechanism 300.

[0152] In this embodiment, the partition plate 500 is used to form an indoor ventilation duct of the evaporation mechanism 300 on one side thereof, thereby increasing the function of the partition plate 500, allowing the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 to be arranged closer, thereby making the air conditioner compact and occupying less space.

[0153] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a bottom plate 510 is disposed at the bottom of the partition plate 500 . The bottom plate 510 is disposed on a side of the partition plate 500 close to the evaporation mechanism 300 . The bottom plate 510 is used to cooperate with the indoor ventilation channel of the evaporation mechanism 300 .

[0154] In this embodiment, by setting a bottom plate 510 at the bottom of the partition plate 500, on the one hand, the structural design of the indoor ventilation duct can be simplified, and on the other hand, the strength of the partition plate 500 itself can be improved. Furthermore, the length of the condensate return channel between the bottom of the bottom plate 510 and the shell 200 is extended, thereby reducing or even avoiding the inhalation of outdoor air.

[0155] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 200 is provided with two symmetrically arranged indoor ventilation ports 330 , and the two indoor ventilation ports 330 are connected to the space on one side of the partition plate 500 close to the evaporation mechanism 300 .

[0156] Since the side of the partition plate 500 close to the evaporation mechanism 300 participates in forming the indoor ventilation duct, the shell 200 can be provided with an indoor ventilation port 330 parallel to the window, and can be provided on two opposite sides of the shell 200, thereby increasing the number of the indoor ventilation ports 330, increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the indoor ventilation duct, reducing the resistance to air flow, and facilitating the heat exchange of the indoor air.

[0157] like Figure 1 As shown, the indoor ventilation port 330 is substantially in a horizontal direction. Since the top of the housing 200 is arc-shaped, the indoor ventilation port 330 also extends to be inclined upward.

[0158] In this embodiment, the indoor ventilation port 330 is an indoor air inlet, that is, air enters the partition plate 500 close to the indoor side through the indoor ventilation port 330, and then re-enters the indoor space after passing through the evaporator 310 and the first fan 320.

[0159] Of course, the indoor ventilation port 330 is an indoor air outlet, so that the air passes through the partition plate 500 close to the indoor side and is discharged into the room from the indoor ventilation port 330.

[0160] Of course, it is preferred to adopt this embodiment, otherwise, dust and the like will enter the first fan 320 without being filtered, resulting in a lot of dust in the first fan 320 and making it difficult to clean.

[0161] That is, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the evaporator 310 is disposed between the first fan 320 and the partition plate 500 , and an indoor ventilation passage of the evaporation mechanism 300 is formed between the evaporator 310 and the partition plate 500 .

[0162] Of course, the above arrangement also has the following advantages: on the one hand, the evaporator 310 is arranged close to the condensing mechanism 400, which shortens the length of the refrigerant pipeline and reduces the cost. At the same time, it also shortens the path of the condensed water flowing toward the outside, making it easier to discharge the condensed water.

[0163] like Figure 7 As shown, the partition plate 500 is close to the condensing mechanism 400 to form an escape portion 520 for accommodating the compressor 410 of the condensing mechanism 400 .

[0164] Therefore, the evaporation mechanism 300 and the condensation mechanism 400 are brought closer together, thereby making the air conditioner more compact and occupying less space.

[0165] like Figure 8 As shown, the chassis 600 is provided with a first cavity for installing the first fan 320, a plurality of partitions for supporting the bottom plate 510, a triangular area for installing the compressor 410, a supporting area for installing the second fan 420, and a drainage joint.

[0166] The first cavity is provided to prevent condensed water from corroding the bearings, and the partition is provided to increase the barrier, making it easier for condensed water to flow to the outside of the room, while reducing the flow of air into the room.

[0167] The triangular area and the supporting area correspond to the arrangement of the compressor 410, the second fan 420 and the condenser 430, so that the structure of the air conditioner is more compact.

[0168] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
