[0040] The following describes a housing component 100 for a window type air conditioner 1000 and the window type air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The window type air conditioner 1000 may include an indoor unit 200 and an outdoor unit 300, and the cooperation of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300 may realize cooling or heating of the indoor environment, and the housing component 100 may provide an installation environment for the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300, and support the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the housing component 100 for a window type air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises an indoor housing portion 1 (such as Figure 1 The inner part of the dotted line L1 shown in FIG), the housing part 2 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The outer portion of the dotted line L2 shown in FIG) and the connecting shell portion 3 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 ). It should be noted that the "inside" direction described herein refers to the indoor direction, and the "outside" direction refers to the outdoor direction, that is, the indoor side of the window where the window air conditioner 1000 is provided is the "inside" direction, and the outdoor side of the window where the window air conditioner 1000 is provided is the "outside" direction. In addition, the "left-right" direction described herein refers to the left-right direction at the window where the window air conditioner 1000 is provided, and the left-right direction is perpendicular to the inside-outside direction.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 2The indoor shell part 1 and the room outer shell part 2 are arranged apart from each other in the inside-outside direction, and the connecting shell part 3 is connected between the indoor shell part 1 and the room outer shell part 2, that is, the connecting shell part 3 is located between the indoor shell part 1 and the room outer shell part 2, and the connecting shell part 3 is connected to the indoor shell part 1 and the room outer shell part 2 respectively, so that the connecting shell part 3 and the indoor shell part 1 and the room outer shell part 2 define a left window space 4 and a right window space 5 located on the left and right sides of the connecting shell part 3 respectively, that is, the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 are both located between the indoor shell part 1 and the room outer shell part 2, and the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the connecting shell part 3, the left window space 4 is located on the left side of the connecting shell part 3, and the top, bottom and left side are open, and the right window space 5 is located on the right side of the connecting shell part 3, and the top, bottom and right side are open.

[0043] It can be understood that the indoor shell part 1 can be used to install the indoor unit 200 to provide a working environment for the indoor unit 200, and the outdoor shell part 2 can be used to install the outdoor unit 300 to provide a working environment for the outdoor unit 300. The indoor shell part 1 and the outdoor shell part 2 are separated and arranged to reduce the mutual influence of the temperature between the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300 during operation, which can improve the cooling or heating effect and improve the problem of the outdoor unit 300 transmitting noise and vibration to the indoor unit 200.

[0044] The connecting shell part 3 can facilitate the connection of the indoor shell part 1 and the indoor shell part 2 to form a casing component 100. Moreover, the connecting shell part 3 can define a left window space 4 and a right window space 5 located on the left and right sides of the connecting shell part 3 respectively between the indoor shell part 1 and the indoor shell part 2. The top, bottom and left side of the left window space 4 are open, which can facilitate the insertion of the left window sash 2000 into the left window space 4. The top, bottom and right side of the right window space 5 are open, which can facilitate the insertion of the right window sash 2000 into the right window space 5.

[0045] Therefore, if Figure 1 As shown, after the window air conditioner 1000 of the present invention is installed, the window sash 2000 on the left side of the window air conditioner 1000 can be inserted into the left window space 4 from left to right, and the window sash 2000 on the right side of the window air conditioner 1000 can be inserted into the right window space 5 from right to left. As a result, the sealing performance between the window sash 2000 and the casing component 100 can be improved, so that the window air conditioner 1000 can better cool or heat the indoor environment, and can reduce the noise and vibration transmitted from the outdoor unit 300 to the indoor environment.

[0046] In addition, the space between the left window sash 2000 and the right window sash 2000 and above the window air conditioner 1000 is relatively small, and the width may be only the width of the connecting shell portion 13 in the left-right direction, so that sealing can be achieved by a sealing member of relatively small width, which will not be described in detail here. Thus, the unsealed space between the window frame, the window sash 2000, and the window air conditioner 1000 can be reduced, and sealing is convenient.

[0047] The window air conditioner in the related art has a square shape. When it is installed at the window, the unclosed space between the window frame, the window sash and the window air conditioner is large, and a large sealing plate is required for sealing. In addition, the noise of the outdoor unit of the window air conditioner can easily be transmitted from the inside of the window air conditioner shell to the indoor side, affecting the normal life of indoor users. In addition, the installation stability of the square window air conditioner is poor and it is easy to move after installation.

[0048] According to the casing component 100 for the window air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting shell part 3 can define a left window space 4 and a right window space 5 located on the left and right sides of the connecting shell part 3 respectively between the indoor shell part 1 and the outdoor shell part 2, so that the window sash 2000 can be inserted into the left window space 4 and the right window space 5, and then the sealing performance between the window sash 2000 and the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 can be better, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the window air conditioner 1000; moreover, the vibration and noise of the window air conditioner 1000 are reduced.

[0049] In addition, according to the housing component 100 for the window air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, since the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 are open at the top, bottom and sides respectively, the window sash 2000 can be pulled into the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 along the left and right directions, and the operation can be easily realized for short users without stepping on a pad, etc., and the operation is safe. Moreover, the window frame does not need to be pre-processed, which reduces the difficulty of installation, improves the installation efficiency, and reduces the installation cost.

[0050] In addition, the indoor shell part 1 and the indoor shell part 2 can position the window sash 2000 entering the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 in the inner and outer directions, reduce the movement of the window sash 2000 and the window air conditioner 1000, and improve the installation stability of the window air conditioner 1000. In addition, the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 can be used to set a fixing structure, so that after the window sash 2000 enters the left window space 4 and the right window space 5, the window sash 2000 can be fixed by these fixing structures, thereby improving the positioning stability of the window sash 2000 and improving the installation efficiency of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 4 A through space 31 connecting the indoor shell part 1 and the outdoor shell part 2 is defined in the connecting shell part 3, and the through space 31 can be used for at least one of passing a pipeline, passing a line, and draining water, wherein the through space 31 can be used to pass a pipeline, for example, through a refrigerant pipeline connecting the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300; the through space 31 can be used to pass a line, for example, a line connecting the indoor unit 200 and the controller, a line connecting the outdoor unit 300 and the controller, or other lines, no specific requirements are made here; the through space 31 can be used for drainage, for example, discharging condensed water on the indoor side to the outdoor side through the through space 31.

[0052] Moreover, the through space 31 can be used for one of passing through pipes, passing through lines, and draining water; the through space 31 can also be used for two of passing through pipes, passing through lines, and draining water, for example, passing through pipes and passing through lines, or passing through pipes and draining water, or passing through lines and draining water; the through space 31 can also be used for three of passing through pipes, passing through lines, and draining water, so that the window air conditioner 1000 does not need to find other spaces or use other methods to pass pipes, route lines, and drain water, thereby making the structure of the window air conditioner 1000 simple.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the housing component 100 includes a chassis 6, which is used for the bottom of the housing component 100.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the left window space 4 includes a first inner side wall 41, a first outer side wall 42 and a first connecting side wall 43, the first inner side wall 41 and the first outer side wall 42 are spaced apart in the inner and outer directions, and the first connecting side wall 43 is connected between the right edge of the first inner side wall 41 and the right edge of the second outer side wall 52, thereby, the structure of the left window space 4 is simple, convenient to process, and convenient to cooperate with the window sash 2000, so that the window air conditioner 1000 of the present invention is easy to install, has little movement after installation, is stable to install, and has good sealing performance. For example, the first inner side wall 41 and the first outer side wall 42 are spaced apart in the inner and outer directions so that the window sash 2000 can be inserted between the second inner side wall 51 and the second outer side wall 52, and the window sash 2000 can stop against the first connecting side wall 43 after sliding rightward and inserting into the left window space 4, so that the window sash 2000 and the left window space 4 have good sealing performance, and the vibration and noise of the window air conditioner 1000 can be reduced.

[0071] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2The side wall of the right window space 5 includes a second inner side wall 51, a second outer side wall 52 and a second connecting side wall 53, the second inner side wall 51 and the second outer side wall 52 are spaced apart in the inner and outer directions, and the second connecting side wall 53 is connected between the left edge of the second inner side wall 51 and the left edge of the second outer side wall 52. Thus, the structure of the right window space 5 is simple, convenient to process, and convenient to cooperate with the window sash 2000, so that the window air conditioner 1000 of the present invention is easy to install, has little movement after installation, is stable to install, and has good sealing performance. For example, the second inner side wall 51 and the second outer side wall 52 are spaced apart in the inner and outer directions so that the window sash 2000 can be inserted between the second inner side wall 51 and the second outer side wall 52, and the window sash 2000 can stop against the second connecting side wall 53 after sliding to the left and inserting into the right window space 5, so that the window sash 2000 and the right window space 5 have good sealing performance, and the vibration and noise of the window air conditioner 1000 can also be reduced.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 The first inner wall 41 and the first outer wall 42 are arranged in parallel, and the second inner wall 51 and the second outer wall 52 are arranged in parallel, thereby making the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 both rectangular spaces, which is conducive to storing the window sash 2000 and cooperating with the window sash 2000 to achieve sealing and limiting.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the connecting shell part 3. When installing the window air conditioner 1000, the window air conditioner 1000 can be arranged on the left or right side of the window frame, which reduces the difficulty of installation, and the symmetrical structure facilitates processing.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the top wall of the connecting shell part 3 is flush with at least one of the top wall of the indoor shell part 1 and the top wall of the room outer shell part 2. In other words, the top wall of the connecting shell part 3 is flush with the top wall of the indoor shell part 1 and / or the top wall of the room outer shell part 2. As a result, the appearance and structure of the casing component 100 can be simplified, and processing and assembly are convenient. In addition, the height of the connecting shell part 3 can be ensured to be high, so that there can be more space in the connecting shell part 3 for pipe passing, wiring, drainage, etc., and the positions of pipe passing, wiring, and drainage are isolated from each other to avoid mutual interference, thereby improving the reliability of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, the window air conditioner 1000 further includes a column 400, which is arranged in the through space 31, and has a wiring groove 410 on the column 400. The column 400 can provide a setting environment for the wiring groove 410, and the wiring groove 410 can facilitate wiring, so that the wiring of the window air conditioner 1000 is clear and neat, and the probability of failure of the window air conditioner 1000 due to unclear winding of the wire 700 can be reduced. Moreover, since the column 400 can be erected in the through space 31, the wiring groove 410 can be set at a suitable position in the entire height direction of the column 400, thereby meeting different actual requirements, and the height of the wiring can be increased, avoiding interference between the wiring and drainage and pipe passing, ensuring wiring safety, and leaving more setting space for drainage and pipe passing.

[0076] In some specific examples, refer to Figure 4 The wiring trough 410 can be located at the top of the column 400, so that the line can be arranged at the upper end of the through space 31, which is convenient for the processing of the wiring trough 410 and is beneficial to the construction of the wiring. The distance between the wiring and the drainage and pipe passing can be maximized to better ensure the wiring safety, and more setting space can be reserved for drainage and pipe passing.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , the top of the column 400 is provided with a wire-smoothing member 420, and the wire-smoothing member 420 defines a wiring groove 410. It is understandable that the column 400 can be conveniently provided with the wire-smoothing member 420, and the wire-smoothing member 420 can be conveniently defined for defining the wiring groove 410. The wiring groove 410 defined by the wire-smoothing member 420 has a stable structure, and can reduce the probability of the wire 700 escaping and moving in the wiring groove 410. Moreover, the line can be arranged at the upper end of the through space 31, so as to facilitate the processing of the wiring groove 410, and facilitate the construction of the wiring, and the distance between the wiring and the drainage and the pipe can be stretched as far as possible, so as to better ensure the wiring safety, and more setting space can be reserved for the drainage and the pipe.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 3The indoor unit 200 includes an indoor fan volute 210, and the indoor fan volute 210 has a wire clip 211. The indoor fan volute 210 contains an indoor fan, and the indoor fan can drive the airflow to flow indoors to cool or heat the indoors. The indoor fan volute 210 can guide the airflow so that the airflow can flow accurately and smoothly to the indoors. The wire clip 211 can fix and guide the wire 700 to guide the wire 700 from the electrical component to the wiring groove 410 or from the wiring groove 410 to the electrical component. The wire clip 211 makes the wiring neat and clear, which can improve the cross-entanglement of the wire 700, and further reduce the probability of failure of the window air conditioner 1000 due to short circuit or breakage of the wire 700. It should be noted that the number of wire clips 211 is not limited, for example, it can be two to five, etc., so as to simplify the structure and improve the reliability and convenience of wiring.

[0079] refer to Figure 3-Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the column 400 is spaced apart from at least one of the left and right side walls of the connecting shell portion 3 to define a pipe passage 430. The column 400 may be spaced apart from the left side wall of the connecting shell portion 3, the column 400 may be spaced apart from the right side wall of the connecting shell portion 3, or the column 400 may be spaced apart from both the left and right side walls of the connecting shell portion 3. The pipe passage 430 may facilitate the passage of pipelines, such as the refrigerant pipeline connecting the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the pipe passage. As a result, the pipelines in the window air conditioner 1000 may be neat and easy to arrange, thereby saving space for the casing component 100.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, a water passage 440 is provided at the bottom of the column 400. It is understood that condensed water is generated when the window air conditioner 1000 is working, and the condensed water on the indoor side can flow to the outdoor side through the water passage 440. Therefore, the condensed water on the indoor side can be discharged to the outdoor side by using the water passage 440, simplifying the drainage method of the window air conditioner 1000. It should be noted that the specific forming method of the water passage 440 is not limited, and it can be located at the bottom inside the column 400 or at the bottom outside the column 400. For example, when the water passage is located at the bottom inside the column 400, the water passage can be at least partially formed on the column 400, and when the water passage is located at the bottom outside the column 400, the water passage can be formed in a pipe located outside the bottom of the column 400, and so on.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4A through hole is formed in the bottom of the column 400 and passes through in the inner and outer directions, and the through hole constitutes at least a part of the water passage 440. Thus, condensed water can pass through the inside of the column 400, thereby saving space for setting the water passage 440 at other positions of the housing component 100, and reducing the volume of the housing component 100, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the window air conditioner 1000 product.

[0082] In some other embodiments, the water passage 440 can also be located outside the bottom of the column 400. In this case, no through hole is formed in the bottom of the column 400 that passes through in the inward and outward directions. For example, the water passage 440 can be defined by a water pipe, and condensed water can flow through the water pipe. The water pipe and the pipe passage 46 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the column 400, thereby achieving pipe flow on one side and drainage on the other side of the left and right sides of the column 400 (this example is not shown in the figure).

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the window air conditioner 1000 further includes a drain pipe 500, which is an integral part or connected to the column 400 by assembly, one end of the drain pipe 500 is connected to the through hole (for example, it can be connected to the outer end of the through hole, or penetrated in the through hole, etc.), and the other end of the drain pipe 500 extends into the housing portion 2. Thus, the condensed water on the indoor side can flow from the through hole and the drain pipe 500 to the outdoor side, so that the drainage path can be better restricted, so that the drainage path meets the drainage requirements of the outdoor unit 300. In the example where the drain pipe 500 and the column 400 are an integral part, the assembly time can be saved, and the structure of the drain pipe 500 and the column 400 is more stable; in the example where the drain pipe 500 and the column 400 are connected by assembly, the drain pipe 500 and the column 400 are more convenient to disassemble, which can facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the drainage.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 The window air conditioner 1000 further includes a water receiving pan 600, which is disposed at the bottom of the indoor shell portion 1, and has a water collection groove 610 on the water receiving pan 600, which is connected to the through hole. Thus, the indoor shell portion 1 can support the water receiving pan 600, and at least part of the indoor unit 200 can be located above the water receiving pan 5, so that condensed water and the like can drip onto the water receiving pan 600 and gather in the water collection groove 610. The water collection groove 610 is connected to the through hole, which can facilitate the condensed water to flow from the water collection groove 610 to the through hole, and then be discharged to the outside through the through hole, thereby achieving better drainage.

[0085] In addition, it should be noted that the installation method of the column 400 is not limited. For example, when the window air conditioner 1000 includes the water receiving pan 600 described above, the column 400 can be installed on the water receiving pan 600 or formed integrally with the water receiving pan 600, so as to ensure the reliability of the connection between the water sump 610 and the through hole. In addition, in some embodiments, the water receiving pan 600 can also include an extension portion 620, and the extension portion 52 can extend to the connecting pan portion 63 and be located at the bottom of the pipe passage 430 to play the role of supporting the bottom and receiving the condensed water dripping from the refrigerant pipe 400.

[0086] In addition, in some embodiments, the outdoor disk portion 62 may have a water collection trough 622, and the water discharged from the indoor side to the outdoor side may be collected in the water collection trough 622. The water collection trough 622 may be located at the bottom of the outdoor heat exchange component, and a supercooling pipe or the like may be provided in the water collection trough 622, so as to facilitate the evaporation of the water in the water collection trough 622.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the column 400 is spaced from one of the two side walls of the connecting shell part 3 to define a pipe passage 430, and the bottom of the column 400 is in contact with the other of the two side walls of the connecting shell part 3, thereby making the space of the pipe passage 430 larger, facilitating the arrangement of pipelines, such as the pipelines connecting the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300; and also facilitating the compactness of the column 400 and the pipe passage 430 in the connecting shell part 3, facilitating the structural layout. A through hole is formed in the bottom of the column 400 that penetrates in the inner and outer directions, and the through hole is located on the side of the column 400 that is away from the pipe passage 430 in the left and right directions. It can be understood that the through hole can flow condensed water, and the pipe passage 430 can be used to arrange the pipeline connecting the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300, and the pipeline can be used to allow refrigerant to flow, and the through hole is located on the side of the column 400 that is away from the pipe passage 430 in the left and right directions to reduce the mutual interference between drainage and pipe passage.

[0088] In a specific example, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the wiring trough 410 can be located at the top of the column 400, the pipe passage can be located between the side wall and the right side wall of the column 400, and the water passage 440 is located on the left side of the bottom of the column 400. Thus, the lines, pipes and drainage can be arranged vertically, with the drainage at the bottom of the through space 31, the pipes second, and the wiring above the through space 31. The through space 31 can be effectively utilized, and the lines, pipes and drainage do not interfere with each other.

The cooperation between the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300 can realize cooling or heating of the indoor environment. The casing component 100 can provide an installation environment for the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300, and support the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 300.

[0090] According to the window air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, the window sash 2000 is closely fitted with the left window space 4 and the right window space 5, so that the sealing performance between the window sash 2000 and the left window space 4 and the right window space 5 is better, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the window air conditioner 1000; and, since the window sash 2000 is closely fitted with the left window space 4 and the right window space 5, the vibration and noise of the window air conditioner 1000 are relatively small. In addition, the window air conditioner 1000 of the present invention is easy to install, has little movement after installation, and is stably installed.

[0091] It can be understood that the window air conditioner 1000 also includes a compressor component, a throttling component and an electronic control box component, etc. The compressor component can be arranged in the indoor shell part 1 or the indoor shell part 2, the throttling component can be arranged in the indoor shell part 1 or the indoor shell part 2, the electronic control box component can be arranged in the indoor shell part 1 or the indoor shell part 2, the indoor unit 200, the outdoor unit 300, the compressor component and the throttling component can constitute a refrigerant circulation system, and the refrigerant can circulate in the refrigerant circulation system to enable the window air conditioner 1000 to cool or heat.
