[0049] ​​​​Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to several drawings. The embodiments described below are illustrative of the present application and are not intended to be limiting of the present application. Embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to a variety of example embodiments that are intended to be illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0050] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For purposes of explanation and ease of understanding, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These, of course, are simply examples and are not intended to limit the application. Additionally, the present application can be repeated with different examples and / or variations. Such repetition is intended to encompass its application to all alterations and modifications that fall within the scope of the present application. Also, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the application can be practiced by using other processes and / or materials.

[0051] Below, with reference to the drawings, a window-type air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0052] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the window-type air conditioner 100 can include an indoor unit part 101, an outdoor unit body 2, and a connecting bracket 3. The indoor unit part 101 can include an indoor unit body 1 adapted to be disposed on an indoor side. The outdoor unit body 2 can be adapted to be disposed on an outdoor side. The connecting bracket 3 can be adapted to be disposed through a window 200 to connect the indoor unit part 101 and the outdoor unit body 2. Thus, the window-type air conditioner 100 can be made as a single unit and can be disposed through the window 200. Figure 1 Figure 2 It can be understood that the window-type air conditioner 100 described herein is adapted to be disposed through the window 200, and a direction from inside to outside of the window 200 (i.e., a direction through the window 200) is a "vertical direction", a width direction of the window 200 is a "horizontal direction", and a height direction of the window 200 is a "vertical direction". In short, when the window-type air conditioner 100 is in a use state (e.g., a state shown in Figs. 1 and 2), the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, the indoor unit body 1 is disposed on the indoor side to adjust an indoor ambient temperature, etc., the outdoor unit body 2 is disposed on the outdoor side to exchange heat with an outdoor ambient, and the connecting bracket 3 is disposed through the window 200 to connect the indoor unit part 101 and the outdoor unit body 2.

[0053] It can be understood that the window-type air conditioner 100 described herein is adapted to be disposed through the window 200, and a direction from inside to outside of the window 200 (i.e., a direction through the window 200) is a "vertical direction", a width direction of the window 200 is a "horizontal direction", and a height direction of the window 200 is a "vertical direction". In short, when the window-type air conditioner 100 is in a use state (e.g., a state shown in Figs. 1 and 2), the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, the indoor unit body 1 is disposed on the indoor side to adjust an indoor ambient temperature, etc., the outdoor unit body 2 is disposed on the outdoor side to exchange heat with an outdoor ambient, and the connecting bracket 3 is disposed through the window 200 to connect the indoor unit part 101 and the outdoor unit body 2. Figure 1 Figure 2 It can be understood that the window-type air conditioner 100 described herein is adapted to be disposed through the window 200, and a direction from inside to outside of the window 200 (i.e., a direction through the window 200) is a "vertical direction", a width direction of the window 200 is a "horizontal direction", and a height direction of the window 200 is a "vertical direction". In short, when the window-type air conditioner 100 is in a use state (e.g., a state shown in Figs. 1 and 2), the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, the indoor unit body 1 is disposed on the indoor side to adjust an indoor ambient temperature, etc., the outdoor unit body 2 is disposed on the outdoor side to exchange heat with an outdoor ambient, and the connecting bracket 3 is disposed through the window 200 to connect the indoor unit part 101 and the outdoor unit body 2.

[0054] ​​In some optional examples, the indoor unit body 1 can include an indoor side heat exchanger, an indoor side fan, etc., the outdoor unit body 2 can include a compressor, an outdoor side heat exchanger, an outdoor side fan, etc., and the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2 are connected by a refrigerant pipeline, so that the indoor side heat exchanger, the outdoor side heat exchanger, the compressor, etc. constitute a refrigerant circulation system to realize a refrigeration cycle or a heating cycle. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, for example, in other embodiments of the present application, the indoor side fan, the outdoor side fan, etc. can also be omitted, which will not be exemplified here.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1 , the connecting bracket 3 is connected between the upper part of the indoor unit component 101 and the upper part of the outdoor unit body 2, and the indoor unit component 101 is slidable relative to the connecting bracket 3 in the inside-outside direction. Thus, since the indoor unit body 1 can move relative to the connecting bracket 3, the form of the window type air conditioner 100 can be changed to better meet the installation requirements.

[0056] Among them, "the connecting bracket 3 is connected between the upper part of the indoor unit component 101 and the upper part of the outdoor unit body 2" is intended to explain the relative position of the connecting bracket 3, the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2, and does not limit how to realize the connection, for example, it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected, and the setting position of the connecting component used for indirect connection is not limited.

[0057] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , since the indoor unit component 101 is slidable relative to the connecting bracket 3 in the inside-outside direction, when the window type air conditioner 100 assumes a use form (for example, as shown in Figure 7 ), at least part of the connecting bracket 3 can be located outside the indoor unit body 1, so that the outdoor unit body 2 is spaced apart from the indoor unit body 1 in the longitudinal direction. When the window type air conditioner 100 assumes an installation form, the connecting bracket 3 can be stacked on the upper part of the indoor unit body 1, so that the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2 assume an adjacent form (for example, as shown in Figure 8 ), or at least part of the connecting bracket 3 can be located outside the indoor unit body 1, so that the indoor unit body 1 and the outdoor unit body 2 assume a form in which they are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (for example, as shown in Figure 3 ).

[0058] Thus, by arranging the indoor unit component 101 and the connecting bracket 3 to be movable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, the relative longitudinal position of the outdoor unit body 2 and the indoor unit body 1 can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the reduction of the longitudinal distance between the outdoor unit body 2 and the indoor unit body 1 to facilitate packaging and transportation, and also allowing the longitudinal spacing distance between the outdoor unit body 2 and the indoor unit body 1 to match the longitudinal size requirement of different window ledges, thereby improving the installation compactness and reliability of the window type air conditioner 100 and the window 200.

[0059] Optionally, the outdoor unit body 2 can rotate relative to the connecting bracket 3 around the upper inner end of the outdoor unit body 2 to raise or lower the bottom, so that both the outdoor unit body 2 and the indoor unit body 1 can move relative to the connecting bracket 3, thereby more effectively changing the shape of the window air conditioner 100 and better meeting the installation requirements.

[0060] For example Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, if the outdoor unit body 2 rotates around the position of the connection (e.g.) Figure 1 Rotating the position R shown counterclockwise allows for a rotation that raises the bottom, for example, it can be changed to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shape shown. For example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, if the outdoor unit body 2 rotates around the position of the connection (e.g.) Figure 3 Rotating the position R shown in the diagram clockwise allows for a downward rotation of the bottom, for example, it can be transformed to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shape shown.

[0061] It should be noted that the "rotation" in the context of the outdoor unit body 2 being able to rotate relative to the connecting bracket 3 should be interpreted broadly, not limited to rotation around a single axis. For example, it could mean rotation around an axis via a hinge (e.g.) Figure 1 The pivot axis L shown in the diagram rotates, or, for example, it can rotate about two axes via a connecting rod, and so on. In short, the outdoor unit body 2 rotates about the upper inner end of the connecting bracket 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 3 The position R shown is rotatable, which allows the window air conditioner 100 to change its shape to meet different practical requirements.

[0062] For example, when installing a window air conditioner 100, the outdoor unit 2 can be rotated to the bottom and raised (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 4 (as shown in the diagram), thus the outdoor unit 2 can be easily pushed from the indoor side to the outdoor side through the window 200. After the outdoor unit 2 is pushed to the outdoor side, it can be rotated to the bottom and lowered to the normal position (e.g., ...). Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown in the image), it meets the requirements for normal use.

[0063] In addition, since the outer machine body 2 is rotatable around the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2, it is illustrated that the rotating connection position is located at the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2, and then the rotating connection position can be reliably rotatable support, the stability and reliability of the rotation of the outer machine body 2 are improved, the structure of the outer machine body 2 is simplified, the cost is reduced, and the assembly is simplified. Moreover, the space range swept by the overall rotation of the outer machine body 2 can be reduced, the driving torque required for driving the outer machine body 2 to rotate is reduced, the operation is more labor-saving, and the opening height requirement of the window 200 is lower.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 The connecting bracket 3 and one of the inner machine components 101 are a first component, and the other is a second component, and a locking device 9 is arranged between the first component and the second component. When the locking device 9 is in a locked state, the locking device 9 can lock the relative position of the second component and the first component in the inner-outer direction. That is, through the arrangement of the locking device 9, the longitudinal relative position of the connecting bracket 3 and the inner machine body 1 can be simply and effectively locked, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the window type air conditioner 100 in use, installation or transportation, etc. The relative displacement instability problem of the connecting bracket 3 and the inner machine body 1 is avoided.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 9-11 The first component has a plurality of first locking holes 51 arranged in the inner-outer direction, and the locking device 9 includes a first locking assembly arranged on the second component. The first locking assembly includes a locking pin 52 and an elastic reset member 53. The locking pin 52 can extend into any first locking hole 51 to achieve position locking, and the elastic reset member 53 applies an elastic force to the locking pin 52 towards the extension into the first locking hole 51.

[0066] That is, when the first component and the second component relatively slide, the locking pin 52 can extend into the first locking hole 51 corresponding to its position under the action of the elastic reset member 53, so that position locking can be simply and reliably achieved, and the relative sliding of the first component and the second component is limited. When the locking pin 52 is pushed to overcome the force of the elastic reset member 53, the locking pin 52 moves out of the first locking hole 51, and unlocking can be achieved. At this time, the first component and the second component can relatively slide. In this way, position locking and unlocking can be simply and effectively achieved. The structure of the first locking assembly is simple, easy to assemble, high in locking reliability, and easy to unlock.

[0067] For example, in some optional examples, the inner machine component 101 can include an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 is located on the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine component 101 is in sliding fit with the connecting bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 can be nested in the inside of the extension bracket 4, the connecting bracket 3 is provided with a first locking assembly, the extension bracket 4 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting bracket 3, and the extension bracket 4 is provided with a first locking hole 51.

[0068] Optionally, as shown in Figure 11 The elastic reset member 53 is a bent elastic sheet and includes a first elastic sheet segment 531 and a second elastic sheet segment 532 which can be relatively close by compression, the locking pin 52 is arranged on the first elastic sheet segment 531, and the second elastic sheet segment 532 is in stop fit with the blocking member 54 on the second component. Thus, the elastic reset member 53 has simple structure, is convenient for processing, and can stably and reliably apply elastic force to the locking pin 52.

[0069] For example Figure 11 The bent elastic sheet is a V-shaped elastic sheet, the connecting end of the first elastic sheet segment 531 is connected with the connecting end of the second elastic sheet segment 532, and the free end of the first elastic sheet segment 531 and the free end of the second elastic sheet segment 532 can move relatively. In the initial state, the free end of the first elastic sheet segment 531 is away from the free end of the second elastic sheet segment 532, and the locking pin 52 on the first elastic sheet segment 531 can extend into the corresponding first locking hole 51. When the locking pin 52 is pushed out of the first locking hole 51, the locking pin 52 can drive the free end of the first elastic sheet segment 531 to move towards the free end of the second elastic sheet segment 532 to realize compression of the elastic reset member 53 and overcome the elastic force of the elastic reset member 53. When the acting force applied to the locking pin 52 is removed, under the action of the elastic force accumulated by the bent elastic sheet itself, the free end of the first elastic sheet segment 531 moves away from the free end of the second elastic sheet segment 532, so that the locking pin 52 can extend into the corresponding first locking hole 51.

[0070] Of course, the present application is not limited to this, the bent elastic sheet can also be other shapes, for example, W-shaped, zigzag-shaped, etc. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, a spring or the like can also be used instead of the bent elastic sheet as the elastic reset member 53, which is not described here.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 12-15As shown, the first component has a plurality of second locking holes 61 arranged in the inside-outside direction, the second component has a third locking hole 62, and the locking device 9 comprises a second locking assembly, which comprises a screw 63 adapted to be arranged in the third locking hole 62 and threadedly connected with the second locking hole 61 corresponding to the third locking hole 62 to achieve position locking. Thus, reliable locking can be achieved simply and effectively, and the service life of the second locking assembly is long and is not prone to fatigue damage.

[0072] For example, in some optional examples, the inner machine component 101 can comprise an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 is located on the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine component 101 is slidingly matched with the connecting bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 can be nested inside the extension bracket 4, the extension bracket 4 is sleeved outside the connecting bracket 3, and the lateral two side walls of the connecting bracket 3 are respectively provided with a plurality of second locking holes 61, and the two sides of the extension bracket 4 are respectively provided with third locking holes 62. The screw 63 can be a hand screw 63, which can be inserted into the third locking hole 62 and threadedly connected to the second locking hole 61 corresponding to the third locking hole 62, thereby achieving locking cooperation.

[0073] Optionally, as shown in the drawings, Figure 15 The third locking hole 62 is an oblong hole and has a length in the inside-outside direction greater than the diameter of the second locking hole 61. Thus, the relative locking position between the inner machine component 101 and the connecting bracket 3 can be continuously changed, thereby better meeting more distance size requirements.

[0074] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 15 The third locking hole 62 can correspond to at least two second locking holes 61 at the same time, that is, the length of the third locking hole 62 in the inside-outside direction is such that the third locking hole 62 can correspond to at least two second locking holes 61 at the same time, so that it is more appropriate to adjust the movement distance of the inner machine component 101 in the inside-outside direction before the screw 63 is locked.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in the drawings, Figures 16-18 The locking device 9 comprises a third locking assembly, which comprises a locking groove member 71 fixedly arranged on the first component and having a plurality of locking grooves 711 arranged in sequence in the inside-outside direction, and a rotating member 72 rotatably arranged on the second component and having a locking buckle 721 adapted to be locked and matched with any locking groove 711 to achieve position locking. Thus, by rotating the rotating member 72, the switching between locking and unlocking can be achieved, which is simple to operate and has good locking stability.

[0076] Optionally, the third locking assembly further comprises a torsion spring arranged at the rotation center of the rotating member 72 to apply an elastic force to the rotating member 72 to match the locking position of the locking groove member 71. Thus, the automatic locking can be realized under the action of the force of the torsion spring, and the locking operation is omitted. Moreover, when unlocking is needed, the rotating member 72 is only needed to be pulled to rotate to overcome the force of the torsion spring, so that the locking buckle 721 is moved out of the locking position slot 711, and the unlocking operation is simplified.

[0077] Of course, the present application is not limited to this, for example, in some other embodiments of the present application, the rotating member 72 can also be locked in the locking position through the buckle structure or the magnetic attraction structure, and when the buckle structure or the magnetic attraction structure is unlocked, the rotating member 72 can be rotated to realize the unlocking. Optionally, as shown in Figure 18 The rotating member 72 can have a handle part 722, so that the rotating member 72 can be easily controlled by holding the handle part.

[0078] For example, in some optional examples, the inner machine component 101 can include an extension support 4, at least part of the extension support 4 is located on the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine component 101 is in sliding fit with the connecting support 3 through the extension support 4. For example, the connecting support 3 can be nested in the inside of the extension support 4, and the extension support 4 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting support 3. The connecting support 3 is provided with a locking groove member 71, the bottom of the locking groove member 71 has a locking position slot 711, and the bottom of the extension support 4 can be provided with a third locking assembly. The bottom of the extension support 4 has a avoiding hole, and the locking buckle 721 of the rotating member 72 can extend into the inside of the extension support 4 through the avoiding hole to match the locking position slot 711. Thus, the installation and control are facilitated, and the locking position is reliable.

[0079] It should be noted that the locking device 9 can only include one of the first locking assembly, the second locking assembly and the third locking assembly, or can simultaneously include any two or even three of the first locking assembly, the second locking assembly and the third locking assembly, that is, the more reliable locking effect can be achieved by setting multiple locking assemblies.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20 The inner machine component 101 and the connecting support 3 are provided with a guide assembly 8, and the guide assembly 8 is used to guide the sliding track of the inner machine body 1 and the connecting support 3 in the inner-outer direction. Thus, the inner machine component 101 can be stably slid in the inner-outer direction relative to the connecting support 3, and the problems such as shaking, noise, bumping damage and the like can be avoided.

[0081] Optionally, as shown in Figure 20As shown, the guide assembly 8 comprises a first guide rail 81 and a second guide rail 82 which are nestedly matched, the first guide rail 81 is fixedly arranged on the inner machine component 101, and the second guide rail 82 is fixedly arranged on the connecting bracket 3. That is, the first guide rail 81 is nestedly arranged in the second guide rail 82, the second guide rail 82 is sleeved on the outside of the first guide rail 81, and the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 are both extended along the inner-outer direction and are substantially matched in shape; or, the second guide rail 82 is nestedly arranged in the first guide rail 81, the first guide rail 81 is sleeved on the outside of the second guide rail 82, and the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 are both extended along the inner-outer direction and are substantially matched in shape, for example, both are square section or circular section, etc. Thus, the relative matching of the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 can realize reliable guidance of the sliding direction.

[0082] Further, as shown in Figure 20 , the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 are in friction-reducing contact through the support part 83, for example, the support part 83 can be a protrusion arranged on at least one of the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82, or a ball, etc., the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 are in contact through the support part 83, thereby reducing the contact friction area of the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82, and improving the smoothness and low resistance of the relative sliding of the inner machine component 101 and the connecting bracket 3.

[0083] Optionally, as shown in Figure 19 , the guide assembly 8 is multiple and is arranged in transverse intervals, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the guidance and support of the relative sliding of the inner machine component 101 and the connecting bracket 3. It should be noted that the arrangement position of the guide assembly 8 is not limited, for example, in some embodiments, the guide assembly 8 can be arranged at the bottom of the connecting bracket 3, thereby achieving a hidden effect, and increasing the width of the connecting bracket 3 in the transverse direction, and improving the reliability of the connecting bracket 3 connecting the inner machine component 101 and the outer machine body 2. Or in some other embodiments, the guide assembly 8 can be arranged on the transverse sides of the connecting bracket 3, thereby facilitating design and installation and simplifying the structure.

[0084] For example, in some optional examples, as shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20As shown, the inner unit component 101 can include an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 is located at the upper outer side of the inner unit body 1, and the inner unit component 101 is in sliding fit with the connecting bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 can be nested inside the extension bracket 4, and the extension bracket 4 is sleeved outside the connecting bracket 3. The bottom of the connecting bracket 3 has a protrusion 31 protruding upward, the protrusion 31 defines an open bottom accommodating cavity, the second guide rail 82 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the top of the second guide rail 82 is fixedly connected with the top wall of the protrusion 31. The first guide rail 81 is nested in the second guide rail 82, and the bottom of the second guide rail 82 has an opening 821. The bottom wall of the extension bracket 4 has a step portion 41 protruding upward, and the step portion 41 extends into the opening 821 to be fixedly connected with the bottom wall of the first guide rail 81. Thus, simple and reliable assembly can be achieved, the structure is compact, and sealing is facilitated. Further, the top and the transversely two sides of the first guide rail 81 respectively have support portions 83 protruding toward the second guide rail 82, and the first guide rail 81 is in contact with the second guide rail 82 through the support portions 83, so that the effect of reducing friction is achieved.

[0085] Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the guide assembly 8 can be cancelled, for example, the lock groove member 71 in the third locking assembly can also be provided with a guide function, and the guide fit of the inner unit component 101 and the connecting bracket 3 is achieved, which is not described herein.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer unit body 2 can have a first state (for example, as shown in FIG. 1) in which the back plate (for example, the second back plate) of the outer unit body 2 is vertical, and a second state (for example, as shown in FIG. 2) in which the back plate (for example, the second back plate) of the outer unit body 2 is horizontal, and the outer unit body 2 is adapted to be rotated from the first state to the second state by upward rotation of the bottom. Thus, the installation of the window type air conditioner 100 is facilitated. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the outer unit body 2 can have a first state (for example, as shown in FIG. 1) in which the back plate (for example, the second back plate) of the outer unit body 2 is vertical, and a second state (for example, as shown in FIG. 2) in which the back plate (for example, the second back plate) of the outer unit body 2 is horizontal, and the outer unit body 2 is adapted to be rotated from the first state to the second state by upward rotation of the bottom. Thus, the installation of the window type air conditioner 100 is facilitated. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the outer unit body 2 can have a first state (for example, as shown in FIG. 1) in which the back plate (for example, the second back plate) of the outer unit body 2 is vertical, and a second state (for example, as shown in FIG. 2) in which the back plate (for example, the second back plate) of the outer unit body 2 is horizontal, and the outer unit body 2 is adapted to be rotated from the first state to the second state by upward rotation of the bottom. Thus, the installation of the window type air conditioner 100 is facilitated.

[0087] It should be noted that "vertical" and "horizontal" described herein are vertical or substantially vertical, and horizontal or substantially horizontal, which are understood in a broad sense. In addition, it should be noted that the back plate (i.e., the first back plate 21) of the outer unit body 2 refers to the structure of the side of the outer unit body 2 facing the wall of the window when the window type air conditioner 100 is in use, for example, when the outer unit body 2 is a closed structure, the first back plate 21 can be a side wall surface of the shell of the outer unit body 2, and for example, when the outer unit body 2 is a semi-open structure, the first back plate 21 can also be a side wall surface of the condenser.

[0088] In addition, it should be noted that the "the outdoor unit body 2 is adapted to be rotated from the first state to the second state by upward rotation through the bottom" is intended to indicate that the outdoor unit body 2 has the ability to switch between the above two states by rotation, but does not limit that the switching between the above two states must be achieved by driving the rotation of the outdoor unit body 2. For example, when the state of the outdoor unit body 2 needs to be switched, it can be achieved by driving the rotation of the outdoor unit body 2, or it can be achieved by driving the rotation of the indoor unit component 101, which all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0089] For example, when the window type air conditioner 100 assumes a use form (for example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), the outdoor unit body 2 can be transformed into the first state. And when the window type air conditioner 100 needs to be transformed into an installation form for easy installation (for example, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), the outdoor unit body 2 can be transformed into the second state. In addition, it should be noted that the position and form of the indoor unit body 1 can or can not be changed when the window type air conditioner 100 switches between the use form and the installation form, which is not limited here.

[0090] It can be understood that the vertical height position of the rotation connection position of the connecting bracket 3 and the outdoor unit body 2 can remain unchanged whether the outdoor unit body 2 is in the first state or in the second state. When the outdoor unit body 2 assumes the first state, the rotation connection position is located at the upper height position of the outdoor unit body 2, and when the outdoor unit body 2 assumes the second state, the back plate of the outdoor unit body 2 is lifted to the horizontal form, so that the rotation connection position is equivalent to being located at the lower height position of the outdoor unit body 2.

[0091] That is, it is generally equivalent to: when the outdoor unit body 2 assumes the first state, the entire outdoor unit body 2 is generally lower than the rotation connection position, and when the outdoor unit body 2 assumes the second state, the entire outdoor unit body 2 is generally higher than the rotation connection position. Therefore, when the outdoor unit body 2 is transformed from the first state to the second state, the entire outdoor unit body 2 is lifted relative to the rotation connection position, so that the outdoor unit body 2 can be easily pushed out from the window 200 to the outside from the direction of the indoor side to the outdoor side, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the window type air conditioner 100 and making the installation of the window type air conditioner 100 more labor-saving.

[0092] The saddle type window machine in the related art is relatively fixed, the upper end of the indoor unit is connected with the upper end of the outdoor unit, and when installing, the entire saddle type window machine needs to be lifted and the outdoor unit needs to be pushed out to the outside of the window, which is relatively labor-intensive and the outdoor unit has the risk of falling outward. The window type air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present application sets the outdoor unit body 2 in a rotatable form, which can effectively solve the above technical problems.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the outer machine body 2 assumes the second state, the back plate of the outer machine body (i.e. the first back plate) is flush with the bottom plate of the connecting bracket 3. Specifically, by designing the outer machine body 2 to be able to raise or lower the bottom portion relative to the connecting bracket 3 about the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2, and by locating the center of rotation of the outer machine body 2 at the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2, the outer machine body 2 can be easily rotated to be flush with the bottom of the connecting bracket 3 (e.g. as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 It should be noted that "flush" here can mean completely flush, or substantially flush. Thus, when the outer machine body 2 is pushed from the indoor side to the outdoor side, the outer machine body 2 can pass through the window 200 without the window air conditioner 100 moving vertically, and the connecting bracket 3 can follow the outer machine body 2 to pass through the window 200, thereby simplifying the operation, making the operation more labor-saving and convenient, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0094] For example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the window air conditioner 100 assumes the use configuration, the inner machine body 1 and the outer machine body 2 are spaced apart in the inner-outer direction, the bottom plate of the inner machine body 1 (i.e. the second bottom plate 12) faces downward, the top plate (i.e. the second top plate 13) faces upward, the panel (i.e. the second panel 14) faces the indoor side, and the back plate (i.e. the second back plate 11) faces the outdoor side. The bottom plate of the outer machine body 2 (i.e. the first bottom plate 22) faces downward, the top plate (i.e. the first top plate 23) faces upward, the panel (i.e. the first panel 24) faces the outdoor side, and the back plate (i.e. the first back plate 21) faces the indoor side. The upper inner end of the outer machine body 2 is pivotally connected to the upper outer end of the inner machine component 101.

[0095] For example, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 If the outer machine body 2 is pulled upward to pivot about the only pivot axis L in a counterclockwise direction, when the outer machine body 2 is rotated by 90°, the window air conditioner 100 assumes the installation configuration, at which time the bottom plate of the outer machine body 2 (i.e. the first bottom plate 22) faces the outdoor side, the top plate (i.e. the first top plate 23) faces the indoor side, the panel (i.e. the first panel 24) faces upward, and the back plate (i.e. the first back plate 21) faces downward. The inner machine body 1 still maintains the bottom plate (i.e. the second bottom plate 12) facing downward, the top plate (i.e. the second top plate 13) facing upward, the panel (i.e. the second panel 14) facing the indoor side, and the back plate (i.e. the second back plate 11) facing the outdoor side.

[0096] In summary, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the window air conditioner 100 assumes the use configuration, the pivot axis L is located at the upper height position of the outer machine body 2, as shown inFigure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, when the window air conditioner 100 is in the installation form, the pivot axis L is located at the lower height position of the outdoor unit body 2. Since the vertical height of the pivot axis L is unchanged, it is equivalent to the overall height of the outdoor unit body 2 being raised, so that the outdoor unit body 2 can be easily pushed out from the indoor side to the outdoor side through the window 200 without changing the state of the indoor unit body 1, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the window air conditioner 100, making the installation of the window air conditioner 100 more labor-saving, easy to control, and reducing the risk of the overall machine falling and falling to the outdoor side.

[0097] It can be understood that if the window air conditioner 100 is always maintained in the use form, when the outdoor unit body 2 needs to be pushed out from the window 200, the overall window air conditioner 100 needs to be raised, which is laborious to operate. Moreover, if the window air conditioner 100 is always maintained in the use form, when the overall machine is raised to push the overall machine out, since the height of the indoor unit component 101 is also high (for example, higher than the height of the bottom edge of the window 200), the center of gravity of the overall machine is high, which causes the problem of the outdoor unit body 2 falling outward, is not easy to control, and is dangerous.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the window air conditioner 100 of the present application, since in the installation form, the indoor unit component 101 can still be maintained at the height of the use form, for example, below the height of the bottom edge of the window 200, the installer can easily press the indoor unit body 1 from the top of the indoor unit body 1, avoid the problem of the outdoor unit body 2 falling and falling outward, easy to control, and reduce the risk.
