[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] The directional terms used in this invention, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and "side," are merely for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrating and understanding this invention, and not for limiting it. Furthermore, in the drawings, structures that are similar or identical are indicated by the same reference numerals.

[0047] This invention provides an outdoor portable air conditioner that solves the problem of water ingress and safety hazards caused by exposed plugs in existing outdoor portable air conditioners. By concealing the charging port and charging plug inside the outdoor portable air conditioner, the problem of exposed charging ports not being rainproof and ensuring safety and reliability is solved, thus improving the rainproof reliability of the outdoor portable air conditioner.

[0048] To address the problem of water ingress into the charging port, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0049] The specific solution involves embedding the charging port within the air conditioner housing at its bottom, and embedding the charging plug within the battery housing at its top. When the air conditioner and battery assembly are installed, the charging plug on top of the battery housing is aligned with the charging port on the bottom of the air conditioner housing and inserted. After insertion, the top surface of the battery housing fits snugly against the bottom surface of the air conditioner housing, thus concealing the charging plug and port. This achieves a hidden connection between the charging plug and port inside the portable outdoor air conditioner, preventing rain from reaching them and providing rain protection, eliminating the safety hazard of water ingress, and improving reliability.

[0050] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] Reference Figures 1-15 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an outdoor portable air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention provides an outdoor portable air conditioner, including: an air conditioner body 1 and a battery assembly 2. The air conditioner body 1 includes an air conditioner housing 11 and a charging port 12, the charging port 12 being disposed within the air conditioner housing 11 and partially exposed at the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11; the battery assembly 2 includes a battery housing 21 and a charging plug 22, the charging plug 22 being disposed within the battery housing 21 and partially exposed at the top of the battery housing 21; wherein, when the portion of the charging plug 22 exposed at the top of the battery housing 21 is inserted into the portion of the charging port 12 exposed at the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11, the contact surface between the top of the battery housing 21 and the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11 is hidden inside the outdoor portable air conditioner.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Specifically, the air conditioner housing 11 includes a base 111 and an outer cover 112. The outer cover 112 has a handle 1121 and covers the base 111. A cavity for installing electrical components is formed between the outer cover 112 and the base 111, and the charging port 12 is also located in this cavity. Specifically, the charging port 12 is fixed to the base 111, i.e., located at the bottom of the entire air conditioner housing 11, with the insertion surface of the charging port 12 facing and exposed on the bottom surface of the air conditioner housing 11. The battery housing 21 includes a battery holder 212 and a battery cover 211. The battery cover 211 covers the battery holder 212 and has an internal cavity for installing battery cells, with the charging plug 22 also located in this cavity. Specifically, the charging plug 22 is disposed on the battery cover 211, with the prongs 2211 of the charging plug 22 facing and exposed on the top surface of the battery cover 211. During use and installation, lift the air conditioner body 1 so that the charging port 12 is aligned with the prong terminal 2211 of the charging plug 22 exposed on the battery cover 211. The charging port 12 is inserted into the charging plug 22 from top to bottom, or the charging plug 22 is inserted into the charging port 12 from bottom to top. After insertion, the bottom surface of the base 111 and the top surface of the battery cover 211 fit together perfectly. The contact surface between the base 111 and the battery cover 211 is not exposed and is hidden inside the entire outdoor portable air conditioner. Therefore, the charging plug 22 and the charging port 12 are not visible from the outside, thus achieving a hidden connection of the charging plug 22 and the charging port 12.

[0053] In this embodiment, the charging port 12 is designed at the bottom of the air conditioner body 1, making it invisible and not affecting the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the charging port 12 is not exposed during use, providing rain protection and improving safety and reliability. The charging plug 22 is built into the battery housing 21. Compared to an external power cord connection, this design allows the charging plug 22 to be hidden during use, improving aesthetics, rain protection, and reliability. Moreover, compared to existing methods that require manual removal and insertion of an external power cord, this design offers greater convenience.

[0054] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, the air conditioner body 1 includes a base 111, on which a socket hole 1111 is provided. The charging socket 12 is fixed to the socket hole 1111 and suspended relative to the socket hole 1111. Specifically, to improve the waterproof performance of the charging socket 12, this embodiment raises the charging socket 12, making it suspended and preventing water from entering. Specifically, the socket hole 1111 is located on the bottom surface of the base 111, and the insertion surface of the charging socket 12 is located above the socket hole 1111, rather than flush with it. Therefore, the charging socket 12 is raised and suspended, so even if water enters, it will not affect the charging socket 12.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, if the charging port 12 is suspended too high, the overall size of the device will be too large, which is not conducive to miniaturization and portability. Conversely, if the charging port 12 is suspended too low, the waterproof effect will be poor. Therefore, in this embodiment, the distance between the charging port 12 and the socket hole 1111 is H, where H ≥ 5mm. A suspension height of less than 5mm provides the best waterproof effect without affecting the overall size of the device.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the base 111 is further provided with a first waterproof rib 1112, which surrounds the socket hole 1111 to enclose the charging socket 12. To further improve the waterproof performance, the base 111 is also provided with a first waterproof rib 1112, which is disposed in the cavity and surrounds the socket hole 1111. The first waterproof rib 1112 has a certain height and surrounds the suspended charging socket 12, thereby preventing water from entering the cavity and avoiding damage to the internal electrical components.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the air conditioner body 1 further includes a fastener 1114, and a fixing post 1113 is provided on the base 111. The fixing post 1113 is adjacent to the socket hole 1111, and the fastener 1114 passes through the charging socket 12 and connects to the fixing post 1113. Specifically, the fastener 1114 is a screw, the fixing post 1113 is a stud, and two connecting holes are provided on both sides of the charging socket 12. Two screws pass through the two connecting holes of the charging socket 12 and engage with the two studs, thereby fixing the charging socket 12 to the base 111. Since the studs have a certain height, the charging socket 12 can be suspended after it is fixed. In a specific embodiment, the suspension height of the charging socket 12 can be changed by designing the height of the studs.

[0058] Reference Figure 6 Furthermore, the air conditioner body 1 also includes a socket cover 113, which is movably disposed at the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11. The socket cover 113 is used to open or close the socket hole 1111. To further improve the waterproof effect of the charging socket 12, in this embodiment, a socket cover 113 is provided at the socket hole 1111 of the base 111. The socket cover 113 is used to open or close the socket hole 1111. When not in use, the socket hole 1111 is closed by the socket cover 113, thereby preventing water ingress and further improving the waterproof effect. It should be noted that there are multiple ways in which the socket cover 113 can move relative to the air conditioner housing 11 to open or close the socket hole 1111. For example, the socket hole 1111 can be opened or closed by rotation, sliding, or flipping. No limitation is made here.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 Preferably, the base 111 is provided with a semi-circular recess 1115, the insertion hole 1111 is formed in the semi-circular recess 1115, and the insertion cover plate 113 is a fan-shaped cover plate, which is rotatably disposed in the semi-circular recess 1115. Specifically, a semi-circular recess 1115 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 111. The semi-circular recess 1115 is semi-circular and recessed towards the interior of the cavity. The insertion cover plate 113 is a fan-shaped cover plate with a fan-shaped structure, for example, it can be a quarter-circle fan shape. The insertion hole 1111 is formed on the bottom of the semi-circular recess 1115, specifically located at one of the semicircles of the semi-circular recess 1115. The rotation point of the sector-shaped cover plate and the semi-circular recess 1115 is set at the center of the semi-circular recess 1115. In this way, when the sector-shaped cover plate rotates to one of the semicircles, it covers the socket hole 1111, and when it rotates to the other semicircle, it exposes the socket hole 1111. This realizes the opening and closing of the socket hole 1111 by rotation.

[0060] Reference Figure 7In this embodiment, a cylindrical bidirectional buckle 1131 is provided at the center of the fan-shaped cover plate, and a positioning cylinder 1116 is provided at the center of the semi-circular recess 1115. The cylindrical bidirectional buckle 1131 engages with the positioning cylinder 1116. Specifically, in order to realize the rotation of the fan-shaped cover plate, this embodiment provides a positioning cylinder 1116 at the center of the semi-circular recess 1115 and a cylindrical bidirectional buckle 1131 at the center of the fan-shaped cover plate. The cylindrical bidirectional buckle 1131 includes two buckles 1117 with cylindrical outer circumferences. The two buckles 1117 are spaced apart and have elasticity. During installation, press the outer sides of the two clips 1117 to bring them closer together, and then insert them into the positioning cylinder 1116. Once in place, the two clips 1117 will move away from each other and lock the positioning cylinder 1116. Since the circumference of the positioning cylinder 1116 and the cylindrical bidirectional clip 1131 are both circumferential, the rotatable connection of the fan-shaped cover plate is achieved.

[0061] Reference Figure 7 In this embodiment, an arrow is provided on the fan-shaped cover to indicate the direction of rotation for opening, and anti-slip texture 1132 is provided on the surface of the fan-shaped cover to facilitate rotation.

[0062] Reference Figure 8In one embodiment, the battery housing 21 includes a battery holder 212 and a battery cover 211. An elastic element 213 is provided in the battery housing 21. The battery cover 211 covers the battery holder 212 and has a plug through hole 2111. One end of the elastic element 213 is connected to the charging plug 22, and the other end is connected to the battery holder 212. The charging plug 22 can extend and retract relative to the plug through hole 2111 under the elastic action of the elastic element 213. Specifically, to achieve automatic connection between the air conditioner body 1 and the battery assembly 2, this embodiment provides an elastic element 213 to allow the charging plug 22 to move up and down, thereby achieving automatic connection between the air conditioner body 1 and the battery assembly 2. Specifically, the elastic element 213 is a spring. One end of the spring is connected to the charging plug 22, and the other end is connected to the base 111. In its natural state, the prongs 2211 of the charging plug 22 protrude from the plug hole 2111. In the compressed state, the prongs 2211 of the charging plug 22 retract into the plug hole 2111. Thus, the charging plug 22 moves up and down under the elastic force of the spring, allowing it to extend or retract from the plug hole 2111. During installation, the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11 is placed on top of the battery housing 21. The prongs 2211 are pressed down by the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11, and the spring is compressed and retracted into the plug hole 2111. When the air conditioner housing 11 and the battery housing 21 are in place, the spring automatically pops out, and the charging plug 22 extends from the plug hole 2111 and automatically connects to the charging port 12. This embodiment achieves automatic connection between the air conditioner body 1 and the battery assembly 2, making installation convenient and improving the user experience.

[0063] Reference Figure 9 as well as Figures 10-12In one embodiment, the charging plug 22 includes a plug body 221 and a pressing part 222. The battery cover 211 has a pressing groove extending along the elastic direction of the elastic member 213. The pressing part 222 passes through the pressing groove from the outside of the battery cover 211 and connects to the plug body 221 inside the battery cover 211. Specifically, the charging plug 22 consists of a plug body 221, a pressing part 222, and a cable 223, located on both sides of the plug body 221. The cable 223 faces the interior of the cavity and connects to electrical components within the cavity. The pressing part 222 faces the side wall of the battery housing 21 and extends out of the battery housing 21 from the side wall. The structure of the pressing part 222 can be various, such as a pressing rod, but other forms are also possible and not limited here. The pressing rod has anti-slip ribs 2221 to prevent slipping. Specifically, a pressing groove is provided on the battery cover 211, which penetrates the side wall of the battery cover 211. The extending direction of the pressing groove is consistent with the direction of the spring force, that is, the vertical direction. The pressing part 222 passes through the pressing groove. A part of the pressing part 222 is located outside the battery cover 211 for user operation, and a part of the pressing part 222 is located inside the battery cover 211 and connected to the plug body 221. The user can operate the pressing part 222 from outside the battery cover 211, causing the pressing part 222 to move along the pressing groove, thereby driving the plug body 221 to move up and down. In actual use, when the user wants to separate the air conditioner body 1 from the battery assembly 2, by pressing the pressing part 222, the charging plug 22 moves down, causing the charging plug 22 to separate from the charging port 12. Then, the air conditioner body 1 is lifted, the pressing part 222 is released, and the charging plug 22 returns to its original position, thus easily completing the disconnection of the charging plug 22 from the charging port 12.

[0064] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 13 In this embodiment, the elastic element 213 is a spring. The plug body 221 is provided with a first spring positioning post 2212, and the battery holder 212 is provided with a second spring positioning post 2123. Both ends of the spring are respectively sleeved onto the first spring positioning post 2212 and the second spring positioning post 2123. Specifically, the top surface of the plug body 221 is provided with a insert terminal 2211, the bottom surface of the plug body 221 is provided with the first spring positioning post 2212, and the battery holder 111 is provided with the second spring positioning post 2123. One end of the spring is sleeved on the first spring positioning post 2212 at the bottom of the plug body 221, and the other end of the spring is sleeved on the second spring positioning post 2123 on the battery holder 111. In this way, the spring is positioned, and the plug body 221 can move up and down under the action of the elastic force.

[0065] Continue to refer to Figure 14 In one embodiment, the battery cover 211 is further provided with a second waterproof rib 2112, which surrounds the plug through hole 2111 to enclose the charging plug 22. To further improve the waterproof performance, the battery cover 211 is also provided with a second waterproof rib 2112, which is disposed in the cavity and surrounds the plug through hole 2111. The second waterproof rib 2112 has a certain height and surrounds the charging plug 22 as it moves up and down. During the entire upward and downward movement of the charging port 12, the second waterproof rib 2112 can protect the charging plug 22, thereby preventing water from entering the cavity and avoiding damage to the internal battery cells.

[0066] Reference Figure 14 and Figures 10-12 In this embodiment, the pressing groove includes a first groove 2113 formed on the battery cover 211 and a second groove 2114 formed on the second waterproof retaining rib 2112. The pressing part 222 passes through the first groove 2113 and the second groove 2114 in sequence and connects to the plug body 221. Specifically, since the second waterproof retaining rib 2112 surrounding the charging plug 22 is provided, a groove is also provided on the second waterproof retaining rib 2112 to avoid interfering with the movement of the pressing part 222. Specifically, the pressing groove includes two sections: a first groove 2113 and a second groove 2114. The first groove 2113 is a groove on the battery cover 211, and the second groove 2114 is a groove on the second waterproof retaining rib 2112. The pressing part 222 passes through the first groove 2113 and the second groove 2114 and connects to the plug body 221. This prevents interference from the second waterproof retaining rib 2112 and ensures that the charging plug 22 can move within the second waterproof retaining rib 2112, which acts as a guide and ensures the stability of the charging plug 22's up and down movement.

[0067] Continue to refer to Figure 14Furthermore, the charging plug 22 also includes a cable 223. A third through groove 2115 is also provided on the side of the second waterproof retaining rib 2112 away from the second through groove 2114. One end of the cable 223 passes through the third through groove 2115 and connects to the plug body 221. Specifically, since the cable 223 moves along with the charging plug 22 during its up-and-down movement, it is necessary to limit the cable 223, and also to avoid interference from the second waterproof retaining rib 2112. Specifically, a third through groove 2115 is provided on the second waterproof retaining rib 2112, opposite to the second through groove 2114. The second through groove 2114 and the third through groove 2115 are located on both sides of the plug body 221, respectively, and are used to accommodate the pressing parts 222 and the cable 223 on both sides of the plug body 221. Line 223 passes through the third through groove 2115. The third through groove 2115 is used to limit the position of line 223 and achieve clearance. On the one hand, it can position line 223 to facilitate the routing of the line. On the other hand, it can limit line 223 so that line 223 can only move along the third through groove 2115, thereby improving stability.

[0068] Continue to refer to Figure 13 Furthermore, the battery holder 212 is provided with a plurality of overflow holes 2121, and a third waterproof retaining rib 2122 is provided on the battery holder 212. The third waterproof retaining rib 2122 surrounds the plurality of overflow holes 2121, and the third waterproof retaining rib 2122 is arranged around the outer periphery of the second waterproof retaining rib 2112. Specifically, the overflow holes 2121 are opened at the bottom of the battery holder 212, and the overflow holes 2121 are used to drain rainwater flowing into the battery casing 21, so as to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the battery holder 212 and damaging the device. Specifically, multiple overflow holes 2121 are provided, arranged around the second spring positioning post 2123. A third waterproof retaining rib 2122 is provided around the multiple overflow holes 2121, surrounding them. The third waterproof retaining rib 2122 has a certain height, with its top higher than the bottom of the second waterproof retaining rib 2112, and its diameter larger than that of the second waterproof retaining rib 2112, thus also surrounding the second waterproof retaining rib 2112. In this way, rainwater flowing from the plug through hole 2111 will only drip into the overflow holes 2121 and flow out. The second and third waterproof retaining ribs 2112 and 2122 together surround the charging plug 22, preventing rainwater from flowing into the cavity of the battery casing 21, avoiding damage to components, and improving waterproof performance.

[0069] This embodiment achieves a five-layer waterproof structure. The first layer of waterproofing is achieved by the built-in design of the charging plug 22, surrounded by the battery casing 21. A rotatable socket cover 113 is located at the bottom of the base 111; rotating the socket cover 113 closes the socket hole 1111, achieving the second layer of waterproofing. The charging plug 12 is suspended relative to the socket hole 1111, with a certain distance between the charging plug 12 and the bottom of the base 111 to prevent water ingress, achieving the third layer of waterproofing. The charging plug 12 is further suspended relative to the bottom of the base 111, preventing water from entering. Waterproof reinforcing ribs are provided at both the opening 1111 and the plug through-hole 2111 of the battery cover 211. These ribs effectively prevent external water from flowing into the plug terminals 2211 of the charging plug 22 and the charging port 12, achieving a fourth layer of waterproofing. Simultaneously, a waterproof reinforcing rib is located below the charging plug 22, working in conjunction with the waterproof reinforcing rib of the battery cover 211 to prevent water from flowing into the internal area of ​​the battery assembly 2. If water does flow into the internal area of ​​these waterproof reinforcing ribs, it can flow out through the overflow hole 2121 to the outside of the battery assembly 2, achieving a fifth layer of waterproofing. Thus, through this five-layer waterproof structure, the problem of the charging port 12 being leaky and not rainproof is solved, improving the rainproof reliability of the portable outdoor air conditioner.

[0070] Reference Figure 15 In one embodiment, a buckle 1117 is provided on the top of the battery housing 21 and a slot 2116 is provided on the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11; the buckle 1117 and the slot 2116 cooperate to detachably connect the top of the battery housing 21 to the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11. Specifically, the buckle 1117 can be provided on the base 111 and the slot 2116 can be provided on the battery cover 211, or the slot 2116 can be provided on the base 111 and the buckle 1117 can be provided on the battery cover 211. No limitation is made here. The detachable connection between the air conditioner body 1 and the battery assembly 2 is achieved through the cooperation of the buckle 1117 and the slot 2116. Since the buckle 1117 and the slot 2116 are located on the contact surface between the battery cover 211 and the base 111, when the battery cover 211 and the base 111 are snapped into place, the charging plug 22 on the battery cover 211 and the charging port 12 on the base 111 are automatically connected, thereby realizing the automatic connection between the air conditioner body 1 and the battery assembly 2.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 15In this embodiment, the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11 is provided with the buckle 1117, which extends from the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11 towards a first horizontal direction. A fastening groove 1118 is formed between the buckle 1117 and the bottom of the air conditioner housing 11. The top of the battery housing 21 is recessed to form the buckle groove 2116, and the opening of the buckle groove 2116 is provided with a fastening body 2117 extending towards a second horizontal direction. The fastening body 2117 is fastened into the fastening groove 1118, wherein the second horizontal direction is opposite to the first horizontal direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the buckle 1117 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 111. The buckle 1117 is generally in the shape of a hook, extending downward first and then towards the first horizontal direction. Thus, a certain gap is left between the buckle 1117 and the bottom surface, which is the fastening groove 1118, for the fastening body 2117 to be engaged. A slot 2116 is provided on the top surface of the battery cover 211. A fastener 2117 extends from the opening of the slot 2116 in a second horizontal direction. The fastener 2117 is suspended at the opening of the slot 2116. The second horizontal direction is opposite to the first horizontal direction; for example, the first horizontal direction is to the left and the second horizontal direction is to the right, or the first horizontal direction is to the right and the second horizontal direction is to the left. The slot 2116 is relatively wide, approximately twice the width of the fastener 1117. During assembly, the buckle 1117 at the bottom of the base 111 is first placed into the slot 2116. Since the charging port 12 and the charging plug 22 are not yet fully aligned, the charging plug 22 is compressed back into the plug hole 2111 by the bottom of the base 111. As the air conditioner body 1 is pushed, the buckle 1117 moves horizontally, causing the buckle 2117 on the slot 2116 to engage with the buckle's latching groove 1118, thus securing it in place. After assembly, the charging plug 22 extends from the plug hole 2111 under the spring force and connects to the charging port 12, completing the automatic connection. It should be noted that this embodiment uses four buckles 1117 and four slots 2116; however, other numbers are also possible.

[0072] To further illustrate the automatic connection method of the portable outdoor air conditioner in this embodiment, the following describes the automatic connection of the portable outdoor air conditioner using the user's operation process.

[0073] Reference Figures 10-12Firstly, because a spring is located below the charging plug 22, it is compressed under the weight of the air conditioner body 1, causing the charging plug 22 to move downwards. When the battery assembly 2 is installed in place, the spring automatically returns to its original position, causing the charging plug 22 to spring upwards, thus automatically connecting the charging plug 22. At this time, the latch 1117 in the base 111 of the air conditioner body 1 is engaged with the slot 2116 of the battery cover 211 in the battery assembly 2, achieving an effective and reliable connection between the air conditioner body 1 and the battery assembly 2. The portable air conditioner can be easily lifted by carrying the handle in the air conditioner body 1. When the battery assembly 2 needs to be removed for charging, simply press down the pressing part 222 in the charging plug 22 to compress the spring, and the charging plug 22 can be easily moved downwards to disengage from the charging port 12, allowing the battery assembly 2 to be removed.
