[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0034] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 A window type air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0035] exist Figure 1-Figure 9 , the height direction is the up-down direction in the figure, the width direction is the left-right direction in the figure, and the thickness direction is the front-back direction in the figure.

[0036] Combination Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the window type air conditioner 100 includes a refrigerant circuit, an outdoor unit, an indoor unit and a connecting bridge.

[0037] In the refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant circulates sequentially through the compressor, the condenser, the pressure reducer and the evaporator, one of the condenser and the evaporator is an outdoor heat exchanger, and the other is an indoor heat exchanger; and the outdoor unit is located on the outdoor side, and the outdoor unit includes a first shell 11 and an outdoor fan, a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger arranged in the first shell 11. The pressure reducer can be an expansion valve or a capillary tube.

[0038] Specifically, an outdoor air passage is formed in the first housing 11, and an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet are formed in the first housing 11, that is, the outdoor air inlet and the outdoor air outlet are arranged on the surface of the first housing 11. The outdoor air outlet is located on the side of the first housing 11 facing the outdoors, so that outdoor air enters the first housing 11 from the outdoor air inlet, and then enters the outdoors from the outdoor air outlet.

[0039] The indoor unit is located indoors, and includes a second housing 12, and an indoor fan and an indoor heat exchanger disposed in the second housing 12. An indoor air passage is formed in the second housing 12, and an indoor air inlet and an indoor air outlet are formed in the second housing 12, that is, the indoor air inlet and the indoor air outlet are disposed on the surface of the second housing 12. The indoor air outlet is located on a side of the second housing 12 facing the indoor room, so that the indoor air enters the second housing 12 from the indoor air inlet, and then enters the indoor room from the indoor air outlet.

[0040] It can be understood that the first housing 11 is arranged outdoors, that is, the first housing 11 is provided with an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet, and outdoor air enters the first housing 11 from the outdoor air inlet and then enters the outdoors from the outdoor air outlet. The outdoor air passage is arranged in the first housing 11, the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger and the outdoor fan are all arranged in the first housing 11, and the outdoor air enters the first housing 11 from the outdoor air inlet, and is discharged outdoors from the outdoor air outlet after heat exchange in the first housing 11.

[0041] The second housing 12 is arranged indoors, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are connected, that is, the second housing 12 is provided with an indoor air inlet and an indoor air outlet, and the indoor air enters the second housing 12 from the indoor air inlet and then enters the room from the indoor air outlet. The indoor heat exchanger and the indoor fan are located in the second housing 12, and the indoor air passage is also located in the second housing 12. The indoor air enters the second housing 12 and enters the room from the indoor air outlet after heat exchange at the indoor heat exchanger.

[0042] Since the first shell 11 is arranged outdoors and the second shell 12 is arranged indoors, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are spaced apart, and a window is provided between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, and the second shell 12 is connected to the first shell 11 through the window.

[0043] The compressor is set in the outdoor air passage. The compressor is provided with an exhaust port and a return port. The compressor compresses the refrigerant, turning the low-pressure refrigerant into a high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor from the return port. After the compressor compresses the low-pressure refrigerant into a high-pressure refrigerant, the high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the exhaust port. The refrigerant releases heat at the condenser, absorbs heat at the evaporator after decompression, and finally enters the compressor from the return port.

[0044] The outdoor heat exchanger is arranged in the outdoor air passage, and performs heat exchange between the outdoor air and the refrigerant transmitted in the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor air entering the first housing 11 from the outdoor air inlet circulates in the outdoor air passage, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant at the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0045] Outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet, circulates in the outdoor air channel, and flows to the outdoor heat exchanger; the refrigerant circulates in the outdoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor air exchanges heat with the refrigerant when passing through the outdoor heat exchanger; the outdoor air after heat exchange flows through the outdoor air channel to the outdoor air outlet, and is discharged to the outside from the outdoor air outlet.

[0046] For example, the outdoor heat exchanger works as a condenser in the cooling mode of the window air conditioner 100, so that the refrigerant compressed by the compressor condenses by dissipating heat to the outdoor air through the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor heat exchanger works as an evaporator in the heating mode of the window air conditioner 100, so that the decompressed refrigerant absorbs heat from the outdoor air through the outdoor heat exchanger and evaporates.

[0047] When the window air conditioner 100 is cooling, the exhaust port of the compressor is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger, which is a condenser. The outdoor air entering from the outdoor air inlet flows to the outdoor heat exchanger, where the refrigerant releases a large amount of heat; the outdoor air absorbs the heat of the refrigerant.

[0048] When the window air conditioner 100 is heating, the exhaust port of the compressor is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor heat exchanger is an evaporator. The refrigerant releases heat at the indoor heat exchanger and flows to the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor air entering from the outdoor air inlet flows to the outdoor heat exchanger, and the refrigerant absorbs heat from the outdoor air at the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0049] The outdoor fan is arranged in the outdoor air passage. The outdoor fan rotates to drive the outdoor air to enter the outdoor air passage from the outdoor air inlet, exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger, and then flow to the outside from the outdoor air outlet.

[0050] The outdoor fan is located in the first shell 11. Driven by the outdoor fan, outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet, flows through the outdoor air channel to the outdoor heat exchanger, and after the outdoor air exchanges heat with the refrigerant at the outdoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant is discharged to the outdoors from the outdoor air outlet under the drive of the outdoor fan.

[0051] Among them, both the indoor fan and the outdoor fan can be cross-flow fans, which can push or draw air along the fan axis direction, provide better air volume and air pressure, and bring a comfortable experience to users.

[0052] Furthermore, the user can also adjust the air volume of the window air conditioner 100 by controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan to improve the user's comfort.

[0053] The indoor heat exchanger is arranged in the indoor air passage, and performs heat exchange between the indoor air and the refrigerant transmitted in the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor air entering the second shell 12 from the indoor air inlet circulates in the indoor air passage, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant at the indoor heat exchanger.

[0054] Indoor air enters the second shell 12 from the indoor air inlet, circulates in the indoor air channel, and flows to the indoor heat exchanger; the refrigerant circulates in the indoor heat exchanger, and the indoor air exchanges heat with the refrigerant when passing through the indoor heat exchanger; the indoor air after heat exchange flows through the indoor air channel to the indoor air outlet, and is discharged into the room from the indoor air outlet.

[0055] For example, the indoor heat exchanger operates as an evaporator in the cooling mode of the window air conditioner 100, so that the decompressed refrigerant absorbs the heat of the indoor air through the indoor heat exchanger and evaporates. The indoor heat exchanger operates as a condenser in the heating mode of the window air conditioner 100, so that the refrigerant compressed by the compressor condenses by dissipating the heat to the indoor air through the indoor heat exchanger.

[0056] When the window air conditioner 100 is cooling, the exhaust port of the compressor is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger, and the indoor heat exchanger is an evaporator. The refrigerant releases heat at the outdoor heat exchanger and flows to the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor air entering from the indoor air inlet flows to the indoor heat exchanger, and the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the indoor air at the indoor heat exchanger to achieve the effect of cooling the room.

[0057] When the window air conditioner 100 is heating, the exhaust port of the compressor is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, and the indoor heat exchanger is a condenser. The indoor air entering from the indoor air inlet flows to the indoor heat exchanger, where the refrigerant releases a large amount of heat; the indoor air absorbs the heat of the refrigerant, achieving the effect of heating the room.

[0058] The indoor fan is arranged in the second housing 12. The indoor fan rotates to drive the airflow from the indoor air inlet into the indoor air channel and then flows from the indoor air outlet to the indoor room after heat exchange with the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor fan is located in the second housing 12. Driven by the indoor fan, the indoor air enters the second housing 12 from the indoor air inlet, flows through the indoor air channel to the indoor heat exchanger, and after the indoor air exchanges heat with the refrigerant at the indoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant is discharged from the indoor air outlet to the indoor room under the drive of the indoor fan.

[0059] In addition, the connecting bridge is at least partially located on the window, one end of the connecting bridge is connected to the indoor unit, and the other end is connected to the outdoor unit. That is to say, the indoor unit, the outdoor unit and the connecting bridge together form a reliable N-shaped structure, so that the window air conditioner 100 can be mounted on the window sill, which is more convenient to install than the traditional integrated square shape. Moreover, when the window air conditioner 100 is mounted on the window sill, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit located on the left and right sides of the window can keep the window air conditioner 100 balanced and stable, and the installation effect is more reliable.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting bridge portion includes a connecting bridge housing 13, and the connecting bridge housing 13 is connected to the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 respectively, so as to realize that the connecting bridge portion connects the outdoor unit portion and the indoor unit portion. That is, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are connected through the connecting bridge housing 13, the side of the first housing 11 facing indoors abuts against the connecting bridge housing 13, and the side of the first housing 11 facing indoors is connected to one end of the connecting bridge housing 13; the side of the second housing 12 facing outdoor abuts against the connecting bridge housing 13, and the side of the second housing 12 facing outdoor is connected to the other end of the connecting bridge housing 13.

[0061] The second housing 12 can move in the height direction relative to the connecting bridge housing 13. That is, the second housing 12 can move up and down in the room, the second housing 12 is movably connected to the connecting bridge housing 13, and the second housing 12 moves in the height direction relative to the connecting bridge housing 13 to adjust the height of the indoor air outlet.

[0062] Specifically, the window air conditioner 100 further includes: a sliding assembly 32, which is disposed between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge housing 13, and is used to drive the second housing 12 to move in the height direction relative to the connecting bridge housing 13. In other words, the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge housing 13 are connected by the sliding assembly 32, and the second housing 12 can be raised and lowered relative to the connecting bridge housing 13. When the indoor unit is raised, the indoor air outlet of the indoor unit can be raised, thereby bringing a better air supply experience.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the window air conditioner 100 further includes: a locking assembly 20 and a first locking member 31, the first locking member 31 is fixed on the connecting bridge housing 13, the locking assembly 20 is arranged in the second housing 12, and the locking assembly 20 is used to lock and cooperate with the first locking member 31, so that when the second housing 12 is raised to the lifting position, the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31 are locked and cooperated to fix the second housing 12. That is, the locking assembly 20 facing the connecting bridge housing 13 is arranged in the second housing 12, and the first locking member 31 facing the second housing 12 is arranged on the connecting bridge housing 13, so that the locking assembly 20 can selectively lock and cooperate with the first locking member 31.

[0064] For example, when the second housing 12 slides to a raised position relative to the connecting bridge housing 13, that is, the height of the second housing 12 is raised relative to the height of the connecting bridge housing 13, the locking between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge housing 13 can be achieved by the locking cooperation of the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31, so that the second housing 12 can be fixed in the raised position.

[0065] Of course, when the second housing 12 needs to be lowered from the raised position, it is only necessary to cancel the locking cooperation between the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31, so that the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge housing 13 can be unlocked, thereby allowing the second housing 12 to be relatively connected to the connecting bridge housing 13.

[0066] Therefore, a locking assembly 20 facing the connecting bridge housing 13 is provided in the second housing 12, and a first locking member 31 facing the second housing 12 is provided on the connecting bridge housing 13. When the second housing 12 slides to a raised position relative to the connecting bridge housing 13, the locking between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge housing 13 can be achieved by the locking cooperation of the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31, so that the second housing 12 can be fixed in the raised position.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the locking assembly 20 includes: a second locking member 21 and a driving member 22, the driving member 22 and the second locking member 21 are in transmission cooperation, and the driving member 22 is used to drive the second locking member 21 to move from the locking position to the unlocking position. In other words, the locking assembly 20 has a locking position and an unlocking position. When the locking assembly 20 is in the locking position, the second housing 12 drives the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31 to lock and cooperate; when the locking assembly 20 is in the unlocking position, the second housing 12 drives the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31 to unlock. In this way, without opening the first housing 11 or the second housing 12, the second housing 12 is directly lifted relative to the connecting bridge housing 13.

[0068] In addition, the second locking member 21 is selectively locked with the first locking member 31. That is, when the locking assembly 20 is in the locked position, the second locking member 21 is locked with the first locking member 31, so that the second housing 12 is fixed relative to the connecting bridge housing 13, ensuring that the position of the second housing 12 is stable and reliable.

[0069] Of course, the locking assembly 20 also includes a driving member 22, one end of which can be exposed relative to the second housing 12, and the other end of the driving member 22 can be driven and matched with the second locking member 21. That is, the driving member 22 can drive the second locking member 21 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this way, the user can press the driving member 22 to make the driving member 22 drive the second locking member 21 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby realizing the unlocking between the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31, and then the second housing 12 can be lowered from the raised position to the initial position relative to the connecting bridge housing 13.

[0070] And, if Figure 6 As shown, the second locking member 21 is provided with a first guiding bevel 211, and the first guiding bevel 211 and the lower end of the driving member 22 are arranged relative to each other, so that when the driving member 22 moves toward the first guiding bevel 211, the second locking member 21 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this way, the first guiding bevel 211 on the second locking member 21 and the lower end of the driving member 22 are guided and matched, that is, when the driving member 22 is pressed, the driving member 22 moves downward, and at this time, the lower end of the driving member 22 and the first guiding bevel 211 are guided and matched, so that the second locking member 21 moves on the horizontal plane, thereby realizing that the first locking member 31 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0071] Of course, a guiding slope may also be provided at the lower end of the driving member 22 , and the guiding slope may have the same inclination angle as the first guiding slope 211 .

[0072] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the locking assembly 20 further includes: a reset member 23, which is disposed at one end of the straight line between the locking position and the unlocking position of the second locking member 21, and is used to drive the second locking member 21 to move from the unlocking position to the locking position. In this way, the reset member 23 can provide a reset force to the second locking member 21.

[0073] That is, when the second locking member 21 is in the locked position, the first reset continues to provide the reset force to the second locking member 21, but due to the locking cooperation between the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31, the locking stability between the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31 can be improved. When the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31 are disconnected, the reset force of the reset member 23 is released, and the second locking member 21 slides from the locked position to the unlocked position under the reset force of the reset member 23.

[0074] The reset member 23 may be a spring.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking assembly 20 also includes: a box body 24 and a box cover 25, the box body 24 and the box cover 25 are connected to each other, and a channel for the second locking member 21 to move is defined between the box body 24 and the box cover 25, the end of the second locking member 21 in the channel away from the first locking member 31 is an unlocking position, and the end of the second locking member 21 in the channel facing the first locking member 31 is a locking position, and the reset member 23 is arranged in the channel and abuts against the second locking member 21.

[0076] That is to say, the locking assembly 20 is composed of a box body 24 and a box cover 25, wherein the box cover 25 is covered on the box body 24, and through the mutual cooperation of the box cover 25 and the box body 24, a channel for the movement of the second locking member 21 is defined between the box cover 25 and the box body 24, so that the second locking member 21 can move within the box cover 25 and the box body 24, that is, the second locking member 21 can move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0077] The box body 24 is provided with one of a buckle and a slot, and the box cover 25 is provided with the other of a buckle and a slot, and the buckle and the slot are engaged. Specifically, the box body 24 may be provided with a slot or a buckle, and the box cover 25 may be provided with a buckle or a slot, and the box body 24 and the box cover 25 are first assembled and fixed by engaging the slot and the buckle.

[0078] That is, the connection between the box body 24 and the box cover 25 is simple and quick to achieve through the buckle and the slot, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the window air conditioner 100.

[0079] Further, the box body 24 is provided with a first mounting hole, the box cover 25 is provided with a second mounting hole, and the fastener is connected with the second mounting hole after passing through the first mounting hole. That is, the box body 24 is also provided with a first mounting hole, and the box cover 25 is also provided with a second mounting hole, and the fastener passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole to fix the box body 24 and the box cover 25, so that the box body 24 and the box cover 25 are more tightly connected on the basis of the snap fit.

[0080] Furthermore, a matching column 213 is provided on the second locking member 21, and the matching column 213 is provided on one side of the second locking member 21 in the axial direction. The reset member 23 can be sleeved on the matching column 213, and one end of the reset member 23 can abut against the end of the matching column 213 and the other end of the reset member 23 can abut against the side wall of the box body 24.

[0081] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the box cover 25 is provided with a first guide groove 26, and the second locking member 21 is provided with a locking portion 212 for locking with the first locking member 31. The locking portion 212 slides in the first guide groove 26, and the two end positions of the first guide groove 26 correspond to the locking position and the unlocking position respectively. In other words, the box cover 25 is provided with the first guide groove 26 for the locking portion 212 to move, so that when the second locking member 21 moves in the box body 24 and the box cover 25, the locking portion 212 can slide in the first guide groove 26, so that the locking portion 212 can be conveniently moved between the unlocking position and the locking position.

[0082] Specifically, the locking portion 212 is exposed from the box cover 25 relative to the first guide groove 26 , that is, the locking portion 212 extends out of the box cover 25 , which can facilitate the locking cooperation between the locking portion 212 and the first locking member 31 .

[0083] And, if Figure 5 As shown, the locking portion 212 is provided with a second guide slope 216 on one side facing the first locking member 31, a second guide groove 311 is provided on the lower side of the first locking member 31, and a limiting step 312 is provided on the upper side of the first locking member 31, the locking member can slide in the second guide groove 311, and when the second housing 12 is raised to the raised position, the second guide slope 216 and the limiting step 312 are limitedly matched. In this way, the second guide slope 216 on the second locking member 21 and the second guide groove 311 of the first locking member 31 are guided and matched.

[0084] That is, when the second housing 12 drives the locking assembly 20 to move upward, the second guide slope 216 can slide in the second guide groove 311. At this time, the lower end of the driving member 22 and the first guide slope 211 guide and cooperate, so that the second locking member 21 moves on the horizontal plane, thereby realizing the first locking member 31 moving from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0085] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the second locking member 21 is provided with a limiting post 214, a limiting hole is defined between the box body 24 and the box cover 25, the limiting post 214 is matched in the limiting hole and the limiting post 214 moves in the limiting hole. In other words, by providing the limiting post 214 on the second locking member 21, defining a limiting hole between the box body 24 and the box cover 25, and allowing the limiting post 214 to move in the limiting hole, that is, the limiting post 214 and the limiting hole can cooperate and move to play a guiding role.

[0086] And, in the embodiment of the present invention, the end of the driving member 22 away from the locking assembly 20 is arranged on the upper surface of the second housing 12, and the driving member 22 extends in the height direction. Due to the structural limitation of the second locking member 21, the driving member 22 is arranged to extend in the up-down direction, so that the driving member 22 can drive the second locking member 21 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0087] According to another optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a locking column 215 is provided at one end of the second locking member 21, and at least two locking holes 313 are provided in the height direction of the first locking member 31. When the second housing 12 is raised to the lifting position, the locking column 215 and the locking hole 313 located above are locked and matched. In other words, the locking match between the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31 can be achieved through the locking match between the locking column 215 and the locking hole 313. That is, the second locking member 21 moves between the locking position and the unlocking position under the drive of the driving member 22, and at the same time, the locking column 215 is driven to selectively match in the locking hole 313.

[0088] Furthermore, by providing at least two locking holes 313 on the second locking member 21, the locking column 215 can be locked in the locking holes 313 at different heights, so that the second shell 12 can be locked at different heights, that is, the second shell 12 can have different staying effects.

[0089] And, refer to Figure 7 As shown, one end of the driving member 22 away from the locking assembly 20 is arranged on the side of the second housing 12, and the driving member 22 extends in the width direction. Due to the structural limitation of the second locking member 21, the driving member 22 is arranged to extend in the width direction, which can facilitate the driving member 22 to drive the second locking member 21 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0090] In addition, if Figure 2As shown, the sliding assembly 32 includes: a first sliding member 321 and a second sliding member 322 . The first sliding member 321 is fixed on the second housing 12 , and the second sliding member 322 is fixed on the connecting bridge housing 13 . The first sliding member 321 and the second sliding member 322 slide with each other.

[0091] The second housing 12 is provided with a first sliding member 321, which is fixedly connected to the second housing 12, and the connecting bridge housing 13 is provided with a second sliding member 322, which is fixedly connected to the connecting bridge housing 13. The first sliding member 321 and the second sliding member 322 are slidably connected, and the first sliding member 321 can slide relative to the second sliding member 322 in the height direction, so that the second housing 12 can move relative to the connecting bridge housing 13 in the height direction, thereby raising the height of the indoor air outlet and improving the air outlet height of the window air conditioner 100.
