[0043]

[0044] The realization of the object, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners

[0045] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back,...) involved in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0047] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.

[0048] Figures 1 to 17 This is the schematic diagram of the instruction manual of the mobile air conditioner of the present invention. The present invention provides a mobile air conditioner, which can cool or heat the indoor environment to adjust the temperature of the indoor environment. The mobile air conditioner adopts a new installation method of the drain valve, which can reduce the rust caused by using screws and improve the installation stability of the drain valve.

[0049] In an embodiment of the mobile air conditioner, the mobile air conditioner includes a housing, an indoor heat exchanger and an outdoor heat exchanger installed in the housing. Among them, the interior of the housing is configured with an outdoor heat exchange chamber and an indoor heat exchange chamber located above the outdoor heat exchange chamber; the outdoor heat exchanger is installed in the outdoor heat exchange chamber; the indoor heat exchanger is installed in the indoor heat exchange chamber.

[0050] When the mobile air conditioner is refrigerating, the air in the indoor environment enters the indoor heat exchange chamber, forms cold air after heat exchange through the indoor heat exchanger, and then the cold air is blown out into the indoor environment to realize refrigeration of the indoor environment; at the same time, the air in the indoor environment or the outdoor environment enters the outdoor heat exchange chamber, forms hot air after heat exchange through the outdoor heat exchanger, and the hot air is finally discharged outdoors through the exhaust duct.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment, the mobile air conditioner includes a housing and a wired control assembly 800. An electric control box is configured in the housing; the wired control assembly 800 is installed on the housing. The wired control assembly 800 includes a wired controller 810 and a fitting 820 for the wired controller 810 to be adaptively connected (specifically, refer to Figure 11 ). Among them, the fitting 820 is installed on the housing, and the fitting 820 is connected to the electric control box through a wire 822; the wired controller 810 is located outside the housing, and the wired controller 810 is connected to the connection end 821.

[0052] Specifically, the housing includes a chassis 100 and a housing cover (the housing cover is not shown) installed on the chassis 100. The fitting 820 of the wired control assembly 800 can be installed on the housing cover or the chassis 100, and only the connection end of the fitting 820 needs to be exposed outside the housing. That is to say, the wired controller 810 is also located outside the housing. Therefore, the operator can connect the wired controller 810 to the fitting 820 outside the housing without disassembling the housing and without being blocked by other components, which greatly reduces the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the wired controller 810 and facilitates the user to check the wired controller 810. By checking the wired controller 810, the user can determine whether it is a failure of the wired controller 810 or the electric control box, and then determine whether it is necessary to disassemble the housing.

[0053] The remote controller 810 of the wired control component 800 and its adapter 820 are relatively common in the current market. When the wired control component 800 works, the remote controller 810 can receive the command signal sent by the remote control or other control terminals through wifi, and then transmit the command signal to the electric control box connected thereto through the adapter 820. After receiving the command signal, the electric control box controls the corresponding electrical components to perform the operations corresponding to the signal. The control terminal that sends the remote control signal through wifi can be a mobile phone, a computer, etc. Therefore, the mobile air conditioner can be configured without a remote control, or in the case of a malfunction or loss of the remote control, the control terminal can be used to send a remote control signal through wifi to control the operation of the mobile air conditioner.

[0054] According to the technical solution of the present invention, by configuring a wired control component 800 on the mobile air conditioner, the wired control component 800 includes a remote controller 810 and an adapter 820 for the remote controller 810 to be adaptively connected. The remote controller 810 is connected to the electric control box through the adapter 820, so that the mobile air conditioner can receive the remote control signal sent by the remote control or other control terminals through wifi through the remote controller 810, thus eliminating the need for a remote control configuration. Or in the case of a malfunction or loss of the remote control, the control terminal can be used to send a remote control signal through wifi to control the operation of the mobile air conditioner.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , in an embodiment, to maintain and repair the remote controller 810, the remote controller 810 can be arranged outside the housing, which can not only facilitate the user to disassemble and assemble the remote controller outside to repair or replace the remote controller 810; moreover, the remote controller 810 is not easily blocked by the housing or its internal components of the mobile air conditioner, and thus it is easier to receive the remote control command signal, improving the signal reception efficiency of the remote controller 810. Given that the housing includes a chassis 100 and a housing cover (not shown) installed on the chassis 100; the remote controller 810 can be configured outside the chassis 100 or outside the housing cover.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , specifically here, the remote controller 810 can be configured on the chassis 100; the chassis 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and side plates 120 arranged along the periphery of the bottom plate 110. Among them, an installation plate 190 is constructed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 110; the adapter 820 is installed on the installation plate 190, and the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 extends out towards one side of the chassis for the remote controller 810 to connect. Specifically,, the installation plate 190 is constructed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 110. Therefore, when installing the remote controller 810, the operator can insert the remote controller 810 from one side (such as the front side, rear side, left side, right side) of the chassis 100 under the installation plate 190 below the chassis 100, and then insert the remote controller 810 into the connection end 821 of the adapter 820.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 Figures 8 to 10 , further, the bottom plate 110 is provided with a wire routing channel 900 for the wire body of the adapter 820 to pass through. An opening is formed at the lower end of the wire routing channel 900, and the opening is located on the side of the mounting plate 190 facing away from the wire controller 810. That is, relative to the same side plate 120 of the chassis 100, the mounting plate 190 is closer to the side plate 120 than the wire routing channel 900, so as to facilitate the operator to perform the connection operation of the wire controller 810 and the adapter 820 nearby.

[0058] Since the connection position of the wire controller 810 and the adapter 820 is located on the side of the mounting plate 190 facing away from the opening of the wire routing channel 900, therefore, even if the condensed water of the water receiving tank 101 or the outdoor heat exchanger or its surrounding components falls into the wire routing channel 900, this part of the water will be blocked by the mounting plate 190 and thus will not drip to the connection position of the wire controller 810 and the adapter 820. That is, the mounting plate 190 can also serve as a water baffle for the wire controller 810 here, effectively waterproofing the wire controller 810.

[0059] When installing the wire control assembly 800, the adapter 820 of the wire control assembly 800 can be first extended from the side of the mounting plate 190 corresponding to the opening to the side facing away from the opening (vice versa), and the adapter 820 is connected and fixed to the mounting plate 190. At this time, the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 is located on the side of the mounting plate 190 facing away from the opening. One end of the adapter 820 away from the connection end 821 extends with a wire body 822. The wire body 822 penetrates upward into the wire routing channel 900 from the opening at the lower end of the wire routing channel 900, and then penetrates out from the upper end of the wire routing channel 900 and is connected to the electric control box; finally, on the side of the mounting plate 190 facing away from the opening at the lower end of the wire routing channel 900, the wire controller 810 is connected to the connection end 821 of the adapter 820.

[0060] Please continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10 Figures 8 to 10 , in this regard, considering that condensed water may be generated on the upper surface of the bottom plate 110, in order to prevent this water from dripping from the wire routing channel 900 onto the floor of the room, optionally, a channel enclosure plate 910 is convexly provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 110. The channel enclosure plate 910 encloses to form the wire routing channel 900. A wire outlet hole 911 is formed on the side wall of the channel enclosure plate 910 for the wire body 822 of the adapter 820 to penetrate out of the wire routing channel 900, and after the wire body 822 penetrates out, it is connected to the electric control box.

[0061] Specifically, the channel enclosure 910 is close to the water receiving tank of the chassis. The channel enclosure 910 is formed with a wire outlet hole 911 on the side wall facing the water receiving tank 101. The open upper end of the channel enclosure 910 can be configured with a cover plate or covered by the electrical protection cover 500. When there is water on the upper surface of the bottom plate 110, this water will be intercepted by the channel enclosure 910, making it difficult to flow into the wire routing channel 900, thereby avoiding water leakage accidents and causing troubles to users.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in an embodiment, to facilitate the penetration of the adapter 820 through the mounting plate 190, a through hole 191 for the adapter 820 to penetrate is provided in the mounting plate 190. The adapter 820 can be fixed by interference fit with the through hole 191, or a positioning structure can be constructed between the two to fix the adapter 820 in the through hole 191. Optionally, a first positioning block 823 is protruded at the position of the top surface of the adapter 820 close to its connection end 802. The first positioning block 823 is adapted to abut against the peripheral edge of the through hole 191 on the side facing the open end after the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 penetrates through the through hole 191. The first positioning block 823 protrudes from the side surface of the adapter 820.

[0063] When installing the adapter 820, the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 is penetrated from the inner side of the through hole 191 (i.e., the side of the through hole 191 corresponding to the open end) to the outer side of the through hole 191 (i.e., the side of the through hole 191 facing away from the open end) until the connection end 821 completely extends out of the outer side of the through hole 191. Then, the first positioning block 823 on the adapter 820 abuts against the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 191, so that the adapter 820 cannot continue to penetrate through the through hole 191. At this time, since the center of gravity of the adapter 820 tends to fall outside the mounting plate 190, the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 has a tendency to incline downward, and the connection end 802 of the adapter 820 has a tendency to incline upward. However, due to the abutting action of the first positioning block 823 and the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 191, the adapter 820 is not easily detached from the through hole 191 outward.

[0064] Furthermore, to improve the installation stability of the adapter 820, optionally, second positioning blocks 824 are further constructed on the opposite side surfaces of the adapter 820. The second positioning blocks 824 follow the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 to penetrate through the through hole 191, and then abut against the peripheral edge of the through hole 191 on the side facing away from the open end. Obviously, the second positioning blocks 824 protrude from the side surface of the adapter 820.

[0065] After the adapter 820 is installed into the outlet 191, the first positioning block 823 can be abutted against the inner peripheral edge of the outlet 191, and the second positioning block 824 can be abutted against the outer peripheral edge of the outlet 191, thereby limiting the movement of the adapter 820 in and out of the outlet 191. Without the action of a strong external force, the adapter 820 is not likely to fall off from the outlet 191. Of course, when it is necessary to disassemble the adapter 820, a strong force is applied to the adapter 820 to overcome the resistance of the first positioning block 823 or the second positioning block 824, and then the adapter 820 can be disassembled.

[0066] Optionally, the second positioning block 824 is configured with a front guiding surface 8241 that slopes from its top towards the connecting end 821 of the adapter 820. During the process of passing the adapter 820 from the inside of the outlet 191 to its outside, the side edge of the outlet 191 slides along the front guiding surface 8241 of the second positioning block 824, so as to reduce the resistance of the second positioning block 824 to the installation of the adapter 820, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the adapter 820 into the outlet 191.

[0067] In addition, a rear guiding surface 8242 that extends in a slope from its top towards the connecting end 802 of the adapter 820 can also be configured on the second positioning block 824. During the process of withdrawing (disassembling) the adapter 820 from the outside of the outlet 191 to its inside, the side edge of the outlet 191 slides along the rear guiding surface 8242 of the second positioning block 824, so as to reduce the resistance of the second positioning block 824 to the disassembly of the adapter 820, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the adapter 820.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that the front guiding surface 8241 and the rear guiding surface 8242 of the second positioning block 824 are designed to form an angle, and a top that can be abutted against the outer peripheral edge of the outlet 191 is formed at the angle position between the front guiding surface 8241 and the rear guiding surface 8242. As for the angle size between the front guiding surface 8241 and the rear guiding surface 8242, it can be 80° to 120°, such as but not limited to 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, etc.

[0069] Optionally, the connection ends 821 of the remote controller 810 and the adapter 820 are inserted and connected. To enhance the firmness of the connection between the remote controller 810 and the adapter 820, optionally, positioning grooves 811 with forward openings are formed on opposite sides of the remote controller 810, and the positioning grooves 811 are adapted to be correspondingly inserted with the second positioning blocks 824. When the remote controller 810 is inserted into the connection end 821 of the adapter 820, the positioning grooves 811 on the remote controller 810 are aligned with the second positioning blocks 824. After the connection between the remote controller 810 and the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 is completed, the second positioning blocks 824 just enter the positioning grooves 811, so that the two cooperate to limit the remote controller 810.

[0070] Furthermore, a third positioning block 825 can be convexly provided on the top surface of the adapter 820 near its connection end 821; an elastic buckle 812 is formed on the remote controller 810, and the elastic buckle 812 is adapted to be latched and fixed with the third positioning block 825 after the remote controller 810 and the connection end 821 are inserted and connected. That is to say, after the connection between the remote controller 810 and the connection end 821 of the adapter 820 is completed, the elastic buckle 812 of the remote controller 810 just latches onto the third positioning block 825 of the adapter 820, thereby further connecting and fixing the remote controller 810 and the adapter 820, greatly improving the firmness of the installation of the remote controller 810 and preventing the remote controller 810 from falling off easily.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 9 Based on any of the above embodiments, the chassis 100 is configured with a water receiving tank 101 and an installation position 105 for installing a compressor; an electrical component accommodating area 106 is formed between the water receiving tank 101 and the installation position 105 of the chassis 100, and the electrical component accommodating area 106 is adapted to accommodate and install the electrical components.

[0072] Specifically, the water receiving tank 101 on the chassis 100 is correspondingly located below the outdoor heat exchanger to be adapted to receive the condensed water generated by the outdoor heat exchanger. Generally, a relatively large vacant area is formed between the water receiving tank 101 and the installation position 105 for installing the compressor, so that the vacant area can be formed into an electrical component accommodating area 106 to accommodate and install the electrical components, making full use of the internal space of the mobile air conditioner and effectively standardizing the distribution of the internal components of the mobile air conditioner. Accordingly, by placing the wiring channel 900 close to or within the electrical component accommodating area 106, the wire body of the adapter 820 can be passed out of the wiring channel 900 and then connected to the electrical control box together with the wire bodies of the electrical components in the electrical component accommodating area 106 to form a wire harness.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 12, in one embodiment, the mobile air conditioner further includes an electrical protection cover 500 disposed in the electrical accommodation area 106 to cover the electrical components and / or the wiring channel 900 in the electrical accommodation area 106.

[0074] Figures 15 to 17 FIGS. - Figures 15 to 17 are schematic structural diagrams of different perspectives of the electrical protection cover 500. The electrical protection cover 500 can not only prevent water droplets inside the mobile air conditioner from falling onto the electrical components or into the wiring channel 900, avoiding moisture damage to the wires in these electrical components or the wiring channel 900, which may cause electric leakage or damage; moreover, it can also prevent surrounding components from colliding with or squeezing the wiring channel 900 or the electrical components. As for the specific type of the electrical components, the electrical components can be any one or more of the first water level detector 710, the second water level detector 720, the water pumping motor 620, and the drain valve 400, which will be introduced in detail in the following embodiments.

[0075] Please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 12 , in one embodiment, the electrical components further include a first water level detector 710 installed in the electrical accommodation area 106 to detect the first water level in the electrical accommodation area 106 and feedback a first water level signal to the control device of the mobile air conditioner, and then the control device alarms or drains water according to the received first water level signal.

[0076] Here, considering that since the electrical protection cover 500 covers the first water level detector 710 inside it, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to view the first water level detector 710 from the outside of the electrical protection cover 500 due to the blocked line of sight, so the electrical protection cover 500 needs to be removed to check the first water level detector 710, and the operation is rather cumbersome. In view of this, to solve this problem, a first notch 501 is provided on the side wall of the electrical protection cover 500, and the first notch 501 is suitable for checking the first water level detector 710.

[0077] Therefore, maintenance personnel can check whether the first water level detector 710 is working properly through the first notch 501 of the electrical protection cover 500, and then determine whether it is necessary to remove the electrical protection cover 500 according to the structure seen from the first notch 501, reducing useless operations during the inspection process. For example, if it is found that the first water level detector 710 is not working properly during the inspection, a inspection tool can be inserted into the electrical protection cover 500 through the second notch 502 to repair the first water level detector 710; or, the electrical protection cover 500 can be opened to repair or replace the first water level detector 710.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14, Further, an overflow port 126 is also provided on the side plate 120 of the chassis 100. The overflow port 126 is close to the low water level detector, and the lower edge of the overflow port 126 is flush with the surface of the bottom plate 110 of the chassis 100. That is to say, the lower edge of the overflow port 126 is equivalent to the lowest overflow water level of the overflow port 126, and this lowest overflow water level is flush with the upper surface of the bottom plate 110. Thus, once water accumulates on the bottom plate 110, it can be promptly discharged from the overflow port 126, preventing a large amount of water from accumulating near the chassis 100 and greatly improving the waterproof effect of the mobile air conditioner.

[0079] Optionally, the electrical component further includes a second water level detector 720. The second water level detector 720 is installed in the electrical accommodation area 106. The second water level detector 720 is arranged at an interval from the first water level detector 710 to be suitable for detecting the second water level in the electrical accommodation area 106, and the second water level is higher than the first water level. When the second water level detector 720 works, the second water level detector 720 feeds back a second water level signal to the control device of the mobile air conditioner, and then the control device gives an alarm or drains water according to the received second water level signal.

[0080] It should be noted that the first water level detector 710, as the first water level defense line, is used to protect the lowest water level in the safety requirements of electrical components to prevent the electrical components from being immersed in water. The second water level detector 720, as the second water level defense line, is used to protect the highest water level of the chassis to prevent water from overflowing outward from the periphery of the chassis. The first water level detector 710 and the second water level detector 720 are switched and used in different environments. Similarly, for the convenience of maintenance personnel to check the second water level detector 720, a second notch 502 is provided on the side wall of the electrical protection cover 500, and the second notch 502 is suitable for checking the second water level detector 720. A support foot 540 is formed between the second notch 502 and the first notch 501 of the electrical protection cover 500.

[0081] Therefore, the maintenance personnel can check whether the second water level detector 720 is working properly through the second notch 502 of the electrical protection cover 500, and then determine whether it is necessary to remove the electrical protection cover 500 according to the structure seen from the second notch 502, reducing the useless operations in the inspection process. For example, if it is found that the second water level detector 720 is not working properly during the inspection, an inspection tool can be inserted into the electrical protection cover 500 from the second notch 502 to repair the second water level detector 720; or, the electrical protection cover 500 can be opened to repair or replace the second water level detector 720.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 13 and Figure 16, in one embodiment, the electrical component includes a water pumping motor 620 located on one side of the water receiving tank 101. The water pumping motor 620 is connected to a water pumping wheel 610 disposed in the water receiving tank 101 to drive the water pumping wheel 610 to operate. The water pumping motor 620 and the water pumping wheel 610 form a water pumping assembly 600 of the mobile air conditioner. By driving the water pumping wheel 610 to rotate through the water pumping motor 620, the water pumping wheel 610 strikes and conveys the water in the water receiving tank 101 to the outdoor heat exchanger to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0083] Based on this, a third notch 503 is provided on the side wall of the electrical protection cover 500 facing the water pumping wheel 610. The third notch 503 corresponds to the water pumping motor 620 to be suitable for inspecting the water pumping motor 620. Therefore, maintenance personnel can check whether the water pumping motor 620 is working properly through the third notch 503 of the electrical protection cover 500, and then determine whether it is necessary to remove the electrical protection cover 500 according to the structure viewed from the third notch 503, reducing the useless operations during the inspection process. For example, if it is found that the water pumping motor 620 is not working properly during the inspection, an inspection tool can be inserted into the electrical protection cover 500 through the third notch 503 to repair the water pumping motor 620; or, the electrical protection cover 500 can be opened to repair or replace the water pumping motor 620.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 15 , in one embodiment, the electrical component further includes a drain valve 400. The drain valve 400 is installed in the electrical accommodation area 106 to be used for switching the water outlet of the water receiving tank 101. After the drain valve 400 opens the water outlet, the water in the water receiving tank 101 flows out from the water outlet, then enters the drain pipe under the chassis 100, and finally discharges outward from the drain pipe. A fourth notch 504 is formed on the side of the electrical protection cover 500 facing away from the water receiving tank 101. The fourth notch 504 corresponds to the drain valve 400 to be suitable for inspecting the drain valve 400.

[0085] Therefore, maintenance personnel can check whether the drain valve 400 is working properly through the fourth notch 504 of the electrical protection cover 500, and then determine whether it is necessary to remove the electrical protection cover 500 according to the structure viewed from the fourth notch 504, reducing the useless operations during the inspection process. For example, if it is found that the drain valve 400 is not working properly during the inspection, an inspection tool can be inserted into the electrical protection cover 500 through the fourth notch 504 to repair the drain valve 400; or, the electrical protection cover 500 can be opened to repair or replace the drain valve 400.

[0086] Further, a wire passing hole 505 is vertically provided in the top surface of the electrical protection cover 500 corresponding to the drain valve 400. The wire passing hole 505 is adapted to allow the connection wire of the drain valve 400 to pass through. A wiring terminal 412 is provided on the drain valve 400, and the wire body 412 of the wiring terminal extends outwards from the wire passing hole 505. If the wire body of the drain valve 400 is passed out of the wire passing hole 505 inside the electrical protection cover 500, due to the blocked line of sight, the wire passing is difficult. For this reason, the fourth notch 504 extends from the lower edge of the side wall of the electrical protection cover 500 to the wire passing hole 505, so that the wire body of the drain valve 400 can extend out laterally from the fourth notch 504, and then be snapped into the wire passing hole 505 along the fourth notch 504 upwards, greatly reducing the difficulty of wire passing.

[0087] Further, to facilitate preventing the wire body from moving out of the fourth notch 504, optionally, a wire winding post 550 is protruded on the top surface of the electrical protection cover. The wire winding post 550 is adapted to allow the wire body passing out of the wire passing hole 505 to be wound around, so as to position the wire body on the wire winding post 550, making the wire body not easy to move, and thus not easy to move out of the fourth notch 504. During use, the wire body of the drain valve 400 extends into the wire passing hole 505 from the fourth notch 504, and then is wound around the wire winding post 550 (it can be wound one or more turns), and then fixed to the wire clamping buckle on one side of the wire winding post 550, and finally connected to the electric control box.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 13 、 Figures 15 to 17 Based on any of the above embodiments, a fixing member located on one side of the support plate 530 is further constructed at one end of the electrical protection cover 500, and an inserting member 510 is further constructed at the other end of the electrical protection cover 500; the chassis 100 is constructed with a plugging portion and a fixing portion 119. The plugging portion 118 is correspondingly plugged and connected with the inserting member 510, and the fixing portion 119 is fixedly connected with the fixing member 520.

[0089] Specifically, a jack for inserting the inserting member of the electrical protection cover 500 is provided in the plugging portion 118 of the chassis 100. When installing the electrical protection cover 500, first insert the inserting member 510 of the electrical protection cover 500 into the jack of the plugging portion 118 of the chassis 100 to pre-position the electrical protection cover 500; then, fixedly connect the fixing member of the electrical protection cover 500 and the fixing portion 119 of the chassis 100 through a penetrating connecting member (such as a screw), so as to fix the electrical protection cover 500 to the chassis 100. The installation operation is simple and fast, and the assembly efficiency is high. It is worth mentioning that the connecting member can be a screw. Relatively, the fixing portion 119 of the chassis 100 is a screwing post.

[0090] Furthermore, one end of the electrical protection cover 500 extends laterally with a support plate 530. The support plate 530 is adjacent to the fixing member. The support plate 530 is supported on the upper end of the channel enclosure 910 of the bottom plate 110 to cover the opening of the channel enclosure 910, that is, the opening at the upper end of the wire routing channel 900.

[0091] That is to say, the channel enclosure 910 can support the electrical protection cover 500 through the support plate 530. At the same time, the support plate 530 covers the upper peripheral edge of the channel enclosure 910, that is, covers the opening at the upper end of the wire routing channel 900, so that the water inside the moving air conditioner is not easily dropped from the opening at the upper end of the wire routing channel 900 onto the floor of the room. In addition, due to the existence of the opening at the upper end of the wire routing channel 900, it is also convenient for the chassis 100 to be demolded and the demolding difficulty is reduced.

[0092] 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.
