[0001] This invention relates to the field of portable air conditioning technology, and in particular to a duct mounting plate for a portable air conditioner and a portable air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, portable air conditioners are air conditioners that integrate indoor and outdoor units in a single casing. Typically, the portable air conditioner unit needs to exhaust the air that has exchanged heat with the outdoor heat exchanger to the outside through air ducts. Usually, the end of the air duct is connected to an air duct mounting plate, which is installed on the window. To prevent outdoor air from mixing with indoor air, the air duct mounting plate needs to be sealed to the window. Since the height of windows in users' homes varies, the height of the air duct mounting plate needs to be adjustable to accommodate windows of any height.

[0003] In related technologies, duct mounting plates achieve height adjustment by drilling holes on both sides of the mounting plate and connecting different hole positions, but cannot achieve stepless adjustment of the mounting plate. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 A duct mounting plate 1 for a portable air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0029] like Figures 1-3As shown, the duct mounting plate 1 of the portable air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first plate 10, a second plate 20, a sliding member 30, and a locking member 40. The first plate 10 is mainly used to connect with the duct of the portable air conditioner. The second plate 20 can slide relative to the first plate 10, thereby adjusting the overall height of the duct mounting plate 1, suitable for windows of different heights. The sliding member 30 can slide, allowing the second plate 20 to slide relative to the first plate 10. The locking member 40 can lock the position of the second plate 20 and the first plate 10 after the height of the duct mounting plate 1 is adjusted, that is, when sliding between the second plate 20 and the first plate 10 is not required, the locking member 40 can lock the position of the second plate 20 and the first plate 10, restricting the relative sliding between the second plate 20 and the first plate 10.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the second plate 20 is disposed on one side of the first plate 10, which facilitates the relative sliding between the second plate 20 and the first plate 10. The first plate 10 has a mounting hole 11, and one end of the sliding member 30 can pass through the mounting hole 11. The second plate 20 has a groove 21 formed on the side facing the first plate 10, so one end of the sliding member 30 can be disposed in the groove 21 and can slide in the groove 21. In addition, the other end of the sliding member 30 protrudes from the surface of the first plate 10. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the duct mounting plate 1, the first plate 10 and / or the second plate 20 are pushed, and the sliding member 30 slides in the groove 21, so that the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 can slide relative to each other, thereby adjusting the relative position between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20. It should be noted that the shape and size of the mounting hole 11 should be as similar as possible to the shape and size of one end of the slider 30. This ensures that the slider 30 is correctly oriented when it passes through the mounting hole 11, thus preventing mistaken insertion.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the other end of the locking member 40 is detachably engaged with the sliding member 30. When the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 are engaged, the locking member 40 can fix the sliding member 30 and restrict the relative sliding of the second plate 20 and the first plate 10. When the locking member 40 is removed from the sliding member 30, the sliding member 30 loses its constraint and can slide in the slide groove 21 again.

[0032] Specifically, when the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 are engaged, the locking member 40 is positioned between the other end of the sliding member 30 and the first plate 10, and the locking member 40 and the other end of the sliding member 30 are in an interference fit. That is to say, the locking member 40 can act as a wedge, which is then locked between the other end of the sliding member 30 and the first plate 10. This can improve the relative stability between the other end of the sliding member 30 and the first plate 10. Moreover, one end of the sliding member 30 will also abut against the slide groove 21 due to the locking member 40, thereby restricting the sliding member 30 from sliding within the slide groove 21 to a certain extent. Of course, the interference fit between the locking member 40 and the other end of the sliding member 30 can further fix the position of the sliding member 30, restricting the sliding member 30 from sliding within the slide groove 21, and making the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 fit tightly, thereby restricting the relative sliding between the second plate 20 and the first plate 10.

[0033] Therefore, by sliding the slider, the second plate 20 can slide relative to the first plate 10, thereby adjusting the overall height of the duct mounting plate 1, which is suitable for windows of different heights. Moreover, a locking member 40 is provided, which can better fix the sliding member 30, making the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 fit tightly together, thereby restricting the relative sliding of the second plate 20 and the first plate 10, and making the connection between the second plate 20 and the first plate 10 more stable and reliable.

[0034] It should be noted that in actual use, multiple first plates 10 and multiple second plates 20 can be set according to the height of the windows in the installation environment. The multiple first plates 10 and multiple second plates 20 can cooperate with each other, for example, a combination of two first plates 10 and one second plate 20, or a combination of two first plates 10 and two second plates 20. Of course, as the number of first plates 10 and second plates 20 changes, the number of sliding parts 30 and locking parts 40 will also change accordingly.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sliding member 30 includes a sliding part 31 and a fixed part 32. The sliding part 31 is connected to the fixed part 32, and the sliding part 31 passes through the mounting hole 11 and is slidably disposed in the slide groove 21. The fixed part 32 protrudes from the surface of the first plate 10, and the locking member 40 is detachably engaged with the fixed part 32. The sliding part 31 is the sliding portion, passing through the mounting hole 11 and slidably disposed in the slide groove 21. This allows the sliding part 31 to slide within the slide groove 21, thereby enabling relative sliding between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20. The sliding part 31 is connected to the fixed part 32, thus forming a single unit for easy overall installation and placement of the sliding member 30. The fixed part 32 protrudes from the surface of the first plate 10, allowing the locking member 40 to be engaged between the fixed part 32 and the first plate 10, and facilitating detachable engagement between the locking member 40 and the fixed part 32.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding member 30 further includes a first connecting portion 33, which connects the sliding member 31 and the fixed portion 32. The locking member 40 is provided with a insertion groove 41, and the first connecting portion 33 is inserted into the insertion groove 41. The first connecting portion 33 can serve as an intermediate connection, connecting the sliding member 31 and the fixed portion 32, thus making the sliding member 30 a whole, facilitating the overall installation and setting of the sliding member 30. The locking member 40 is provided with an insertion groove 41, and the first connecting portion 33 can be inserted into the insertion groove 41. This not only facilitates the cooperation between the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30, but also improves the fixing effect between the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 to a certain extent.

[0037] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking member 40 includes a locking part 42, a second connecting part 43, and a plug-in part 44. The second connecting part 43 connects the locking part 42 and the plug-in part 44. The plug-in part 44 forms a plug-in groove 41 and is interference-fitted with the fixing part 32. The locking part 42 is disposed on the fixing part 32 and is locked in place with the fixing part 32. The second connecting part 43 also serves as a connector, connecting the second connecting part 43 between the locking part 42 and the plug-in part 44, thus making the locking member 40 a single unit, facilitating its use and installation.

[0038] The insertion portion 44 has an insertion groove 41, into which the first connecting portion 33 can be inserted, facilitating the engagement of the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 and improving the fixing effect of the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30. Furthermore, the insertion portion 44 and the fixing portion 32 are interference-fitted, further enhancing the fixing effect of the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30. The locking portion 42 is disposed on the fixing portion 32, and the locking portion 42 and the fixing portion 32 are locked together, thus fixing the position of the sliding member 30 and making the engagement between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 more tight, restricting the relative sliding of the second plate 20 and the first plate 10.

[0039] Of course, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the bottom surface of the fixing part 32 is provided with a first wedge-shaped inclined surface 34, and the top surface of the insertion part 44 is provided with a second wedge-shaped inclined surface 45, which cooperates with the first wedge-shaped inclined surface 34. As the insertion part 44 gradually engages between the fixing part 32 and the first plate 10, the contact area between the first wedge-shaped inclined surface 34 and the second wedge-shaped inclined surface 45 gradually increases. As the contact area between the first wedge-shaped inclined surface 34 and the second wedge-shaped inclined surface 45 increases, the fit between the insertion part 44 and the fixing part 32 becomes tighter, thereby making the fit between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 tighter. Similarly, when the insertion part 44 moves in the opposite direction and is disassembled from between the fixing part 32 and the first plate 10, the contact area between the first wedge-shaped inclined surface 34 and the second wedge-shaped inclined surface 45 gradually decreases. When it decreases to a certain extent, the sliding member 30 can slide as a whole, but the locking member 40 does not need to be completely disassembled from the sliding member 30. In this way, the locking member 40 can remain connected to the sliding member 30, thereby preventing the locking member 40 from being lost after complete disassembly.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 3-5As shown, a locking hook 46 is provided at one end of the locking part 42 away from the second connecting part 43, and at least two locking grooves 35 are provided on the top surface of the fixing part 32. The locking hook 46 is selectively locked in the one end of the locking part 42 away from the second connecting part 43 and in the at least two locking grooves 35. In other words, the locking hook 46 can be an elastic element. The locking hook 46 can lock and engage with the end of the locking part 42 away from the second connecting part 43, or it can lock and engage with at least two locking grooves 35. When the locking hook 46 locks and engages with the end of the locking part 42 away from the second connecting part 43, the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 are in an interference fit, and the stability of the engagement between the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 is better. When the locking hook 46 is operated and the locking hook 46 is elastically deformed, as the locking member 40 gradually moves away from the first plate 10, that is, in the direction of gradual disassembly, the locking hook 46 can also engage with the corresponding locking groove 35, thereby achieving different tightness levels. When the locking hook 46 engages with a certain locking groove 35, the sliding member 30 can slide as a whole. In this way, the locking member 40 can be kept connected to the sliding member 30 through the engagement of the locking hook 46 and the locking groove 35, preventing the locking member 40 from being lost after complete disassembly. In addition, when the duct mounting plate 1 is installed vertically, if the second plate 20 slides downward, causing the sliding member 30 to move downward, the interference between the locking member 40 and the sliding member 30 will increase, which can prevent the second plate 20 from sliding down excessively and uncontrollably to a certain extent.

[0041] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the second connecting portion 43 extends upward and beyond the top surface of the locking portion 42 to form a pushing portion 47. The pushing portion 47 is provided, and since it is formed by the upper end of the second connecting portion 43 extending upward, the pushing portion 47 is located at the end of the locking portion 42 and the insertion portion 44 away from the sliding member 30. When it is necessary for the locking member 40 to lock into the sliding member 30, the pushing portion 47 can be pushed towards the sliding member 30. This makes operation convenient, and the structure of the pushing portion 47 is simple and easy to install.

[0042] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the insertion slot 41 is provided with a first guide portion 48, and the end face of the first connecting portion 33 is provided with a second guide portion 36, which guides and engages with the first guide portion 48. The first guide portion 48 can be constructed with a chamfered or beveled shape, and the second guide portion 36 can be constructed with an arc shape. This facilitates the guiding and engagement of the second guide portion 36 with the first guide portion 48, thereby facilitating the insertion of the first connecting portion 33 into the insertion slot 41. Furthermore, the end face of the sliding portion 31 is provided with a third guide portion 37, which can be constructed with a chamfered or arc shape, allowing the sliding portion 31 to better fit into the sliding groove 21.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, an anti-slip portion 38 is provided on the side of the sliding portion 31 adjacent to the first plate 10 to increase the friction between the sliding portion 31 and the second plate 20 when the locking member 40 is disposed between the fixing portion 32 and the first plate 10. Understandably, when the locking member 40 is disposed between the fixing portion 32 and the first plate 10, the sliding portion 31 will move towards one side of the first plate 10. After moving to a certain extent, the side of the sliding portion 31 adjacent to the first plate 10 will contact the second plate 20. The anti-slip portion 38 on the side of the sliding portion 31 adjacent to the first plate 10 increases the friction between the sliding portion 31 and the second plate 20, making it difficult for the sliding member 30 to slide within the groove 21, thus facilitating the locking of the first plate 10 and the second plate 20.

The body is provided with an air outlet, the air duct is connected to the air outlet, and the air duct is mounted on the air duct mounting plate 1. The height of the air duct mounting plate 1 is adjustable, thereby adapting to windows of different heights, and the air inside the body can be exhausted to the outside through the air duct from the window.
