[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a portable air conditioner includes an energy storage device and a first heat exchange system on a mobile body, and an intermediate heat exchange device and a second heat exchange system on a fixed body. The intermediate heat exchange device can exchange heat with the second heat exchange system to store energy (heat or cold).

[0070] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0071] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0072] A portable air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the portable air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a portable body 1 and a fixed body 2.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile body 1 includes a first refrigerant system 10, a first docking device 11, and a first heat exchange system 12. The first refrigerant system 10 includes an energy storage device 101 and a first liquid pump device 16. The energy storage device 101 can be used to store energy (heat or cold), and the first liquid pump device 16 can circulate the refrigerant between the energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12. This allows for heat exchange between the first heat exchange system 12 and the energy storage device 101. For example, in cooling mode, the temperature of the energy storage device 101 is low, and the refrigerant can transfer the cold energy of the energy storage device 101 to the first heat exchange system 12, which then exchanges heat with the indoor air, thereby lowering the temperature of the indoor space. In heating mode, the temperature of the energy storage device 101 is high, and the refrigerant can transfer the heat of the energy storage device 101 to the first heat exchange system 12, which then exchanges heat with the indoor air, thereby raising the temperature of the indoor space.

[0075] like Figure 2As shown, the first liquid pump device 16 enables the refrigerant to circulate between the energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12. Thus, heat exchange between the energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12 can be achieved by utilizing the circulation of the refrigerant between them. The heat absorption and release process of the first heat exchange system 12 is the opposite of that of the second heat exchange system 22. For example, in... Figure 22 In the example shown, the first heat exchange system 12 includes an evaporator 120, and the second heat exchange system 22 includes a condenser 220, wherein the heat absorption and release processes of the evaporator 120 and the condenser 220 are opposite.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed body 2 includes a second refrigerant system 20, a second docking device 21, and a second heat exchange system 22. The second refrigerant system 20 includes an intermediate heat exchange device 201 and a second liquid pump device 23. The refrigerant is adapted to circulate between the intermediate heat exchange device 201 and the second heat exchange system 22. Thus, by utilizing the circulation of the refrigerant between the second heat exchange system 22 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201, heat exchange between the second heat exchange system 22 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201 can be achieved. For example, the second heat exchange system 22 includes a compressor 221, a condenser 220, and a throttling device 222. The compressor 221 has an exhaust port and a return port. One end of the condenser 220 is connected to one of the exhaust port and the return port, and the other end of the condenser 220 is connected to the other of the return port and the exhaust port. The throttling device 222 is connected in series between the return port and the condenser 220, and the intermediate heat exchange device 201 is connected in series between the exhaust port and the condenser 220.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21 can be switched between a docking state and a disconnected state. When the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21 are in the docking state, the second liquid pump device 23 can cause the refrigerant to circulate between the energy storage device 101 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201. Thus, heat exchange between the energy storage device 101 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201 can be achieved by utilizing the circulation of the refrigerant between the energy storage device 101 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the first docking device 11 (such as...) Figure 3 (as shown) and the second docking device 21 (as shown) Figure 10 As shown) is in the docking state (e.g. Figure 14When the intermediate heat exchange device 201 can exchange heat with the second heat exchange system 22 to store energy (heat or cold), the energy is then transferred to the energy storage device 101 using a refrigerant. When the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21 are disconnected, the energy storage device 101 can transfer energy to the first heat exchange system 12 using a refrigerant. Finally, the indoor temperature is regulated by the heat exchange between the first heat exchange system 12 and the indoor space.

[0079] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12 are integrated on the mobile body 1, while the intermediate heat exchange device 201 and the second heat exchange system 22 are integrated on the fixed body 2. It can be understood that the first heat exchange system 12 and the second heat exchange system 22, which have opposite heat absorption and release processes, are respectively set on two independent units. This avoids the simultaneous existence of heat absorption and heat release processes in the same space, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the portable air conditioner 100 on the indoor space.

[0080] In one example of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile unit 1 includes a self-propelled chassis, allowing it to move with the user within an indoor space. The mobile unit also includes a human-machine interface display screen, through which the user can adjust and control the mobile unit.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a portable air conditioner 100 is provided with an energy storage device 101 and a first heat exchange system 12 on a portable body 1, and an intermediate heat exchange device 201 and a second heat exchange system 22 on a fixed body 2. The intermediate heat exchange device 201 can exchange heat with the second heat exchange system 22 to store energy (heat or cold). When the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21 are in a docking state, the intermediate heat exchange device 201 can transfer this part of the energy to the energy storage device 101, and then use the heat exchange between the energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12 to achieve cooling or heating of the indoor space. The energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12 are integrated on the mobile body 1, while the intermediate heat exchange device 201 and the second heat exchange system 22 are integrated on the fixed body 2. It can be understood that the first heat exchange system 12 and the second heat exchange system 22, which have opposite heat absorption and release processes, are respectively set on two independent units, so as to avoid the simultaneous existence of heat absorption and heat release processes in the same space, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the portable air conditioner 100 on the indoor space.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first docking device 11 includes: a first support 111, a lifting device 113, and a first docking joint 114. The first support 111 has a holding cavity 1110, the top and bottom sides of which are open. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the first docking joint 114 are connected to pipes. By opening the top and bottom sides of the holding cavity 1110, space can be provided for the installation and layout of the pipes.

[0083] like Figure 8 As shown, the first docking joint 114 is disposed on the lifting device 113. It is understood that the first docking joint 114 can move up and down synchronously with the lifting device 113. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, the first docking device 11 is located above the second docking device 21 (see Figure 113). Figure 2 and Figure 14 When the first docking joint 114 and the second docking device 21's docking interface 2130 (refer to...) Figure 13 When aligned, driven by the rotating component 112, the lifting device 113 can move the first docking joint 114 toward the direction of approaching the docking interface 2130.

[0084] like Figure 6-8 As shown, during the downward movement of the lifting device 113, the lifting device 113 drives the first docking joint 114 to dock with the docking interface 2130. It can be understood that the lifting device 113 can be used to dock the first docking joint 114 with the docking interface 2130, thereby eliminating the need for manual docking of the first docking joint 114 and the docking interface 2130, thus freeing up manpower and improving the accuracy of docking.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the portable air conditioner also includes a rotating assembly 112, which is in a first position (refer to...) Figure 17 ) and the third position (refer to) Figure 16 The pivotable section is located in the holding cavity 1110 (see reference). Figure 9 Inside, the inner wall of the holding cavity 1110 is provided with a slot 1111 (refer to...). Figure 4 and Figure 9 The lifting device 113 is located in the slot 1111, and the rotating assembly 112 also includes a second position (see reference). Figure 18 The second position is spaced between the first and third positions, and the lifting device 113 is connected to the rotating assembly 112 (see reference). Figure 5 The rotating component 112 is adapted to drive the lifting device 113 to move up and down within the slot 1111.

[0086] It is understood that the lifting device 113 is movably disposed within the slot 1111, and the rotating assembly 112 is pivotally disposed within the holding cavity 1110. The lifting device 113 is connected to the rotating assembly 112. While the rotating assembly 112 rotates between the first and third positions, it can drive the lifting assembly to move synchronously within the slot 1111. Thus, the rotating assembly 112 can provide driving force for the movement of the lifting device 113, while the slot 1111 provides limiting and guiding functions for the movement of the lifting device 113. Specifically, in one example of the present invention, the lifting device 113 includes a retaining plate disposed within the slot 1111, and protrusions 1131 (see reference) are provided on opposite sides of the retaining plate. Figure 8 This reduces wear between the card plate and the card slot 1111.

[0087] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the second docking device 21 has a docking interface 2130. During the docking process of the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21, when the rotating component 112 is in the first position, the rotating component 112 is spaced apart from the second docking device 21 (see reference). Figure 17 The first mating connector 114 and the mating interface 2130 are directly opposite each other and spaced apart, with the mating interface 2130 in a locked state. It is understood that when the rotating assembly 112 is spaced apart from the second mating device 21, there is no contact stress between the rotating assembly 112 and the second mating device 21, and the mating interface 2130 of the second mating device 21 remains in a normally locked state. It should be noted that the spaced-apartment relationship between the rotating assembly 112 and the second mating device 21 includes two states: first, the rotating assembly 112 and the second mating device 21 are not in contact; second, the rotating assembly 112 and the second mating device 21 are in contact but without contact stress. Furthermore, with the mating interface 2130 in the locked state, the first mating connector 114 cannot be inserted into the mating interface 2130.

[0088] like Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, when the rotating assembly 112 is in the second position, the rotating assembly 112 presses the second docking device 21 to make the docking interface 2130 of the second docking device 21 in a disengaged state (see reference). Figure 18 The first docking connector 114 is inserted into the docking interface 2130 to allow the refrigerant to circulate between the energy storage device 101 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201. It is understood that when the rotating assembly 112 is in the second position, under the pressing force applied by the rotating assembly 112 to the second docking device 21, the docking interface 2130 of the second docking device 21 can switch from a locked state to a loose state. At this time, the first docking connector 114 can be smoothly inserted into the docking interface 2130, allowing the refrigerant to flow between the first docking connector 114 and the docking interface 2130.

[0089] like Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, when the rotating assembly 112 is in the third position, the rotating assembly 112 is spaced apart from the second docking device 21, the first docking connector 114 is inserted into the mating interface 2130, and the mating interface 2130 is in a locked state. It can be understood that when the rotating assembly 112 moves from the second position to the third position, the rotating assembly 112 and the second docking device 21 are spaced apart. At this time, there is no contact stress between the rotating assembly 112 and the second docking device 21, and the mating interface 2130 can return to the locked state, thereby fixing the first docking connector 114 within the mating interface 2130. During the stroke of the rotating assembly 112 from the first position to the second position, and then from the second position to the third position, the mating interface 2130 switches from a locked state to a released state, and then from a released state to a locked state.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the lifting device 113 is provided with a guide groove 1130, and the rotating assembly 112 includes a connecting rod 1120. At least one end of the connecting rod 1120 is provided with an end plate 1121, and a guide post 1122 is provided on the end plate 1121. The guide post 1122 passes through the guide groove 1130 to drive the lifting device 113 to move up and down. It can be understood that only one end of the connecting rod 1120 may be provided with an end plate 1121; or, both ends of the connecting rod 1120 may be provided with an end plate 1121.

[0091] Therefore, by utilizing the cooperation between the guide post 1122 on the end plate 1121 and the guide groove 1130 on the lifting device 113, synchronous movement of the rotating assembly 112 and the lifting device 113 can be achieved. Specifically, in one example of the present invention, a guide groove 1130 is provided on each of the two side plates of the lifting device 113. The guide groove 1130 extends in the front-back direction. Both ends of the connecting rod 1120 are provided with a circular end plate 1121. Each end plate 1121 is provided with a guide post 1122. The two guide posts 1122 cooperate with the two guide grooves 1130 respectively. The diameter of the guide post 1122 is smaller than the length of the guide groove 1130. As the rotating assembly 112 rotates, the running trajectory of each guide post 1122 relative to the first support 111 forms a circle, and the trajectory of each guide post 1122 relative to the guide groove 1130 it cooperates with forms a straight line. That is to say, the guide post 1122 moves relative to the guide groove 1130 along the extension direction of the guide groove 1130.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the rotating assembly 112 also includes a cam 1123, which is connected to the connecting rod 1120. When the rotating assembly 112 is in the second position (refer to...), Figure 16 and Figure 18 The outer edge of cam 1123 presses against the second docking device 21 to release the docking interface 2130 of the second docking device 21. It can be understood that as the rotating assembly 112 rotates from the first position to the second position, the positional relationship between cam 1123 and the second docking device 21 changes from being spaced apart to the outer edge of cam 1123 pressing against the second docking device 21. Thus, under the pressing force of cam 1123, the second docking device 21 can switch from a normally locked state to a released state. By setting cam 1123, cam 1123 can rotate with connecting rod 1120, thereby eliminating the need for additional driving force and reducing the difficulty of applying pressing force to the second docking device 21.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figures 16-18 As shown, the top wall of the second docking device 21 has rollers 212, which are used when the rotating assembly 112 is in the first position (see reference). Figure 17 When the cam 1123 is in a locked state, its outer edge is spaced apart from the roller 212, the first mating joint 114 and the mating interface 2130 are facing each other and spaced apart, and the mating interface 2130 is in a locked state (see reference). Figure 15 It is understandable that when the rotating assembly 112 is in the first position, there is no contact stress between the outer edge of the cam 1123 and the roller 212, and the interface 2130 can remain in a normally locked state.

[0094] When the rotating component 112 moves from the first position (refer to) Figure 17 ) Towards the second position (refer to) Figure 18 When rotating, the outer edge of cam 1123 abuts against roller 212, and the outer edge of cam 1123 presses against roller 212 to disengage the interface 2130 of the second docking device 21. It can be understood that when the rotating assembly 112 rotates from the first position to the second position, cam 1123 begins to contact roller 212. At this time, under the pressure of cam 1123, interface 2130 can move from a locked state to a disengaged state (see reference). Figure 18 Switch.

[0095] When the rotating component 112 is in the second position (refer to...) Figure 18 When the first mating joint 114 is inserted into the mating interface 2130, the cam 1123 moves from the second position to the third position (refer to...). Figure 16When rotating, cam 1123 rotates away from roller 212. When the rotating assembly 112 is in the third position, the outer edge of cam 1123 is spaced apart from roller 212, and the first mating joint 114 is inserted into the mating interface 2130, which is in a locked state. It can be understood that when the rotating assembly 112 is in the second position, the first mating joint 114 is already inserted into the mating interface 2130, and the mating interface 2130 is still in a loose state. When the rotating assembly 112 is in the third position, the first mating joint 114 is still inserted into the mating interface 2130. At this time, there is no contact stress between cam 1123 and roller 212, and the mating interface 2130 can switch from a loose state to a locked state.

[0096] For example, in one embodiment of the invention, the outer contour of the cam 1123 includes an arcuate side, a first inclined side, and a second inclined side. The first inclined side is located on the side of the arcuate side closer to the roller 212, and the second inclined side is located on the side of the arcuate side farther from the roller 212. When the rotating assembly 112 is in the first position (refer to...), Figure 17 When the first inclined side of the cam 1123 is opposite to the roller 212, there is no contact stress between the first inclined side and the roller 212.

[0097] When the rotating component 112 moves from the first position (refer to) Figure 17 ) Towards the second position (refer to) Figure 18 When rotating, the arc-shaped edge of cam 1123 abuts against roller 212, and the arc-shaped edge of cam 1123 presses against roller 212 to loosen the interface 2130 of the second docking device 21; when the rotating assembly 112 is in the second position (refer to...) Figure 18 When the cam 1123 moves from the second position to the third position (refer to the first position), the arc-shaped edge of the cam 1123 remains in contact with the roller 212, and the first mating joint 114 is inserted into the mating interface 2130; when the cam 1123 moves from the second position to the third position (refer to the third position), the arc-shaped edge of the cam 1123 remains in contact with the roller 212, and the Figure 16 When rotating, the arc-shaped edge of the cam 1123 rotates away from the roller 212. When the rotating component 112 is in the third position, the second inclined edge of the cam 1123 is opposite to the roller 212, and there is no contact stress between the second inclined edge and the roller 212. At this time, the first mating joint 114 is still inserted in the mating interface 2130 and the mating interface 2130 is in a locked state.

[0098] It is understandable that after the cam 1123 contacts the roller 212, the roller 212 can also rotate relative to the cam 1123 as the cam 1123 rotates. Therefore, the friction between the cam 1123 and the roller 212 is actually rolling friction. Since the frictional resistance of rolling friction is relatively small compared to sliding friction, the resistance to the movement of the rotating component 112 can be reduced, and the frictional loss between the cam 1123 and the second docking device 21 can also be reduced.

[0099] Specifically, when the cam 1123 presses the roller 212 downward, the second docking device 21, under the pressing force of the cam 1123, can switch the interface 2130 from the normally locked state to the loose state; conversely, when there is no contact stress between the cam 1123 and the roller 212, the interface 2130 can return from the loose state to the locked state.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first docking device 11 also includes a drive motor 115, which is mounted on the first bracket 111 and connected to the rotating assembly 112. The first bracket 111 is provided with a first switch 1112 and a second switch 1113 (see reference). Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first switch 1112 and the second switch 1113 are spaced apart. Both the first switch 1112 and the second switch 1113 are communicatively connected to the drive motor 115. The rotating assembly 112 is provided with a first trigger block 1124 and a second trigger block 1125. When the rotating assembly 112 is in the first position, the first trigger block 1124 triggers the first switch 1112 to control the drive motor 115 to stop rotating. When the rotating assembly 112 is in the third position, the second trigger block 1125 triggers the second switch 1113 to control the drive motor 115 to stop rotating.

[0101] Understandably, the rotating component 112 can be driven to rotate automatically. When the rotating component 112 moves from the first position to the third position, the second trigger block 1125 triggers the second switch 1113 to control the drive motor 115 to stop rotating, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotating component 112 reaching the third position and avoiding the problem that the rotating component 112 continues to rotate after reaching the third position. When the rotating component 112 moves from the third position to the first position, the first trigger block 1124 triggers the first switch 1112 to control the drive motor 115 to stop rotating, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotating component 112 reaching the first position and avoiding the problem that the rotating component 112 continues to rotate after reaching the first position.

[0102] It should be noted that when the rotating assembly 112 rotates from the first position to the third position, the drive motor 115 rotates in the forward direction; when the rotating assembly 112 rotates from the third position to the first position, the drive motor 115 rotates in the reverse direction. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the drive motor 115 is fixed on the first bracket 111, and the end plate 1121 of the rotating assembly 112 is provided with a connecting shaft 116. The drive motor 115 and the connecting shaft 116 are connected and fixed by a pin 117, thereby allowing the drive motor 115 to drive the rotating assembly 112 to rotate.

[0103] It should be noted that the design of the motion stroke of the drive motor 115 can be based on the initial positioning of the drive motor 115 upon initial power-on, followed by control by the rotation angle to cause the first docking joint 114 and the second docking joint 213 to disconnect and dock. At this time, the initial positioning design can be carried out when the lifting device 113 rises to the highest position (the first docking joint 114 and the second docking joint 213 have been disconnected), and then the rotation angle is used to control the stroke of the first docking joint 114 and the second docking joint 213.

[0104] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 14 As shown, the first docking device 11 further includes: a guide rail 1114, which is connected to the bottom wall of the first support 111; the top wall of the second docking device 21 is provided with a sliding groove 2111 extending in the front-rear direction; the guide rail 1114 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 2111; the front side of the sliding groove 2111 has a first opening 2112 for avoiding the guide rail 1114 (see reference). Figure 18 It is understood that the guide rail 1114 of the first docking device 11 can enter the slide groove 2111 through the first opening 2112 and move along the extension direction of the slide groove 2111, thereby realizing the accurate positioning and docking of the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21.

[0105] For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the guide rail 1114 includes a connecting arm and a slide plate. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the bottom wall of the first support 111, and the other end of the connecting arm is connected to the slide plate. The holding cavity 1110 is provided with a slide rail that cooperates with the slide plate. The slide plate extends in the front-back direction. The connecting arm is adapted to move along the slide groove 2111 on the top wall, and the slide plate is adapted to move along the extension direction of the slide plate.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 , Figure 14 and Figure 18 As shown, when the guide rail 1114 abuts against the side wall of the slide groove 2111 opposite to the first open opening 2112, the first mating joint 114 and the mating interface 2130 (see reference) Figure 13 (Correctly aligned.) It is understandable that the side wall on the slide groove 2111 opposite to the first open opening 2112 has a stopping and limiting function on the guide rail 1114. When the guide rail 1114 abuts against the side wall on the slide groove 2111 opposite to the first open opening 2112, the limiting function of the side wall can ensure that the first mating joint 114 and the mating interface 2130 are directly aligned, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the mating and reducing the difficulty of the mating.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, a guide slope 2113 is provided at the first opening 2112. From the front side to the rear side of the slide groove 2111, the guide slope 2113 is inclined towards the inner side of the slide groove 2111. It can be understood that the guide slope 2113 guides the installation of the guide rail 1114, reducing the difficulty of installing the guide rail 1114 and improving the assembly efficiency of the guide rail 1114 and the slide groove 2111.

[0108] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the slide groove 2111 is L-shaped. It is understood that the L-shaped slide groove 2111 can limit the guide rail 1114 in both the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby improving the limiting effect on the guide rail 1114 and thus improving the reliability of the sliding of the guide rail 1114.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the second docking device 21 includes a second support 211 and a second docking joint 213, the second docking joint 213 being disposed on the second support 211. The first docking device 11 has a first docking joint 114, which is adapted to dock with the mating interface 2130 of the second docking joint. This simplifies the structural complexity of the second docking device 21 and reduces the difficulty of docking the first docking joint 114 with the mating interface 2130.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the portable air conditioner 100 also includes a retaining ring 214, which is engaged on the outer peripheral wall of the second mating joint 213 and connected to the second bracket 211. It is understood that the second mating joint 213 can be fixed to the second bracket 211 by the retaining ring 214. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the retaining ring 214 is fixed to the second bracket 211 by fasteners. The retaining ring 214 is provided with fasteners for adjusting the tightness of the retaining ring 214. After the retaining ring 214 is fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the second mating joint 213, tightening the fasteners securely engages the retaining ring 214 on the outer peripheral wall of the second mating joint 213.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the portable air conditioner 100 also includes a locking ring 215, which is engaged on the outer peripheral wall of the second docking joint 213. When the second docking device 21 docks with the first docking device 11, the first docking device 11 pushes the locking ring 215 along the axial direction of the second docking joint 213 from the fourth position (refer to...). Figure 15 Move to the fifth position (see reference) Figure 18When the locking ring 215 is in the fourth position, the locking ring 215 surrounds the mating interface 2130 of the second mating joint 213 to lock the mating interface 2130. When the locking ring 215 is in the fifth position, the locking ring 215 is spaced apart from the mating interface 2130 of the second mating joint 213 to release the mating interface 2130.

[0112] Understandably, when the locking ring 215 is in the fourth position, the mating interface 2130 of the second mating joint 213 is locked under the wrapping of the locking ring 215. When the locking ring 215 is in the fifth position, the mating interface 2130 is separated from the locking ring 215, and the mating interface 2130 is no longer constrained by the locking ring 215, thus the mating interface 2130 is in a loose state. For example, in one example of the present invention, the second mating device 21 further includes: a locking ring 216, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mating interface 2130 and located between the mating interface 2130 and the locking ring 215. The locking ring 215 is provided with fasteners for adjusting the tightness of the locking ring 215. After the locking ring 215 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the locking ring 216, the fasteners are tightened so that the locking ring 216 is locked on the outer peripheral wall of the second mating joint 213.

[0113] For example, in Figure 15 In the embodiment shown, the locking ring 215 and the fixing ring 214 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the second mating joint 213. When the locking ring 215 is in the fourth position, the distance between the upper end face of the locking ring 216 and the upper end face of the mating interface 2130 is d1. When the locking ring 215 is in the fifth position, the distance between the upper end face of the locking ring 216 and the upper end face of the mating interface 2130 is d2, where d1 < d2.

[0114] It should be noted that a support spring is also provided between the locking ring 215 and the fixing ring 214. Under the support of the support spring, the locking ring 215 has a driving force that constantly moves away from the fixing ring 214. It can be understood that when there is no pressing stress between the first docking device 11 and the locking ring 215, the locking ring 215, under the support of the support spring, has a driving force that constantly moves away from the fixing ring 214, thereby fixing it in the fourth position and making the docking interface 2130 in a locked state.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the clamping ring 215 is provided with a pressing shaft 2150. The second docking device 21 also includes a pressure plate 217. One end of the pressure plate 217 is rotatably mounted on the second bracket 211. The pressure plate 217 has a clearance notch 2170 for avoiding the second docking joint 213. The other end of the pressure plate 217 cooperates with the pressing shaft 2150. Under the push of the first docking device 11, the other end of the pressure plate 217 can push the clamping ring 215 from the fourth position to the fifth position.

[0116] Understandably, when the first docking device 11 docks with the second docking device 21, the first docking device 11 can apply a force to the pressure plate 217. Under the action of the force, the pressure plate 217 can rotate along the rotation axis, and at the same time, it applies a force to the clamping shafts 2150 at both ends of the clamping ring 215, causing the clamping ring 215 to move between the fourth position and the fifth position. Thus, the interface 2130 can switch from the locked state to the released state. Due to the limitations of the clamping ring 215 structure, it is relatively difficult for the first docking device 11 to directly apply pressing pressure to the clamping ring 215. By setting the pressure plate 217, which acts as an intermediate carrier for pressing pressure, the difficulty of applying pressing pressure can be reduced, and the effect of pressing pressure transmission can be improved.

[0117] For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the pressure plate 217 is provided with a pressure groove that cooperates with the pressure shaft 2150, and the lower side of the pressure groove is formed as an open opening.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the first heat exchange system 12 includes an evaporator 120, and the mobile body 1 also includes a partition plate 13 and a first reinforcing plate 14. The energy storage device 101 and the evaporator 120 are located on both sides of the partition plate 13 and connected to the partition plate 13. The first docking device 11 is fixed on the partition plate 13. One end of the first reinforcing plate 14 is connected to the partition plate 13, and the other end of the first reinforcing plate 14 is connected to the energy storage device 101.

[0119] Understandably, by setting the partition 13, the energy storage device 101 can be separated from the evaporator 120. At the same time, the partition 13 can also increase the height of the evaporator 120, thereby increasing the ground clearance of the evaporator 120 and increasing the air supply area of ​​the evaporator 120. In addition, by setting the first reinforcing plate 14, the connection strength between the partition 13 and the energy storage device 101 can be improved, ensuring the supporting effect of the partition 13 on the evaporator 120.

[0120] Specifically, in one example of the present invention, the energy storage device 101 includes a water tank, the water tank and the evaporator 120 are respectively located on both sides of the partition 13 and connected to the partition 13, the first docking device 11 is fixed on the partition 13, one end of the first reinforcing plate 14 is connected to the partition 13, and the other end of the first reinforcing plate 14 is connected to the water tank.

[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the partition 13 includes a main body 131 and a support 132. The support 132 is located on one side of the main body 131. The first docking device 11 is fixed on the support 132. The energy storage device 101 and the evaporator 120 are located on both sides of the main body 131 and connected to the main body 131. It can be understood that by providing the support 132 and placing the first docking device 11 on the support 132, the first docking device 11 can be separated from the energy storage device 101 and the evaporator 120, thereby providing a larger installation space. At the same time, it can also avoid interference between the first docking device 11 and the energy storage device 101 and the evaporator 120, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the first docking device 11, the energy storage device 101 and the evaporator 120.

[0122] like Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the mobile body 1 also includes a second reinforcing plate 15, one end of which is connected to the support portion 132, and the other end of which is connected to the main body portion 131. It is understood that when the first docking device 11 docks with the second docking device 21, the first docking device 11 needs to apply a certain force to the second docking device 21, and the reaction force applied by the second docking device 21 to the first docking device 11 will act on the support portion 132. By providing the second reinforcing plate 15, the connection strength between the support portion 132 and the main body portion can be improved, thus strengthening the cantilever.

[0123] In some embodiments, the support portion 132 has a first screw hole, and the first docking device 11 has a second screw hole. The first screw hole and the second screw hole are connected by a fastener. Fasteners have the advantages of simple structure and ease of assembly. By inserting the fastener into the first screw hole and the second screw hole, a tight connection between the support portion 132 and the first docking device 11 can be achieved. Furthermore, this method reduces costs while ensuring the connection strength between the support portion 132 and the first docking device 11. Optionally, the fastener can be a screw, bolt, or stud.

[0124] In some embodiments, the partition plate 13 has a third screw hole, and the energy storage device 101 has a fourth screw hole. The third and fourth screw holes are connected by fasteners. Fasteners have the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. By inserting fasteners into the third and fourth screw holes, a tight connection between the partition plate 13 and the energy storage device 101 can be achieved. In addition, while ensuring the connection strength between the partition plate 13 and the energy storage device 101, costs can also be reduced. Optionally, the fastener can be a screw, bolt, or stud. For example, in one example of the present invention, the partition plate 13 has a plurality of support feet, each support foot having a third screw hole, and the upper cover plate of the energy storage device 101 has a plurality of studs, each stud having a fourth screw hole, wherein the plurality of support feet and the plurality of studs correspond one-to-one.

[0125] A portable air conditioner 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The portable air conditioner 100 includes a mobile body 1 and a fixed body 2.

[0126] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile body 1 includes: a first refrigerant system 10, a first docking device 11, and a first heat exchange system 12. The first refrigerant system 10 includes an energy storage device 101 and a first liquid pump device 16. The first liquid pump device 1611 can make the refrigerant circulate between the energy storage device 101 and the first heat exchange system 12.

[0127] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed body 2 includes: a second refrigerant system 20, a second docking device 21, and a second heat exchange system 22. The second refrigerant system 20 includes: an intermediate heat exchange device 201 and a second liquid pump device 23. The refrigerant is adapted to circulate between the intermediate heat exchange device 201 and the second heat exchange system 22. The first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21 can be switched between docking and disconnection states. When the first docking device 11 and the second docking device 21 are in the docking state, the second liquid pump device 23 can make the refrigerant circulate between the energy storage device 101 and the intermediate heat exchange device 201.

[0128] Specifically, such as Figures 3-9As shown, the first docking device 11 includes: a first support 111, a lifting device 113, a first docking joint 114, and a rotating assembly 112. The first support 111 has a holding cavity 1110, the top and bottom sides of which are open. A slot 1111 is provided on the inner wall of the holding cavity 1110. The lifting device 113 is located in the slot 1111, and the first docking joint 114 is located on the lifting device 113. The rotating assembly 112 is pivotally located in the holding cavity 1110 between a first position and a third position. The rotating assembly 112 also includes a second position, which is spaced between the first position and the third position. The rotating assembly 112 is connected to the lifting device 113 to drive the lifting device 113 to move up and down in the slot 1111. The rotating assembly 112 also includes: a cam 1123, which is connected to a connecting rod 1120.

[0129] like Figures 10-18 As shown, the second docking device 21 includes: a second bracket 211, a second docking joint 213, a fixing ring 214, a clamping ring 215, and a pressure plate 217. The second docking joint 213 is mounted on the second bracket 211. The fixing ring 214 is clamped on the outer peripheral wall of the second docking joint 213 and is connected to the second bracket 211. The clamping ring 215 is clamped on the outer peripheral wall of the second docking joint 213. One end of the pressure plate 217 is rotatably mounted on the second bracket 211. The pressure plate 217 has a clearance notch 2170 for avoiding the second docking joint 213. The other end of the pressure plate 217 cooperates with the clamping shaft 2150. The top wall of the pressure plate 217 has a roller 212.
