[0033] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.Figures 1-9 A window air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0035] In Figures 1-9 In the drawings, the height direction is the up-down direction, the width direction is the left-right direction, and the thickness direction is the front-rear direction.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1-9 The window air conditioner 100 includes a refrigerant circuit, an outdoor unit, an indoor unit, and a connecting bridge.

[0037] In the refrigerant circuit, refrigerant circulates through a compressor, a condenser, a pressure reducer, and an evaporator in sequence, one of the condenser and the evaporator is an outdoor heat exchanger, and the other is an indoor heat exchanger. The outdoor unit is located on the outdoor side and 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, the first shell 11 has an outdoor air passage formed therein, and the first shell 11 has an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet, i.e., the first shell 11 surface is arranged at the outdoor air inlet and the outdoor air outlet. The outdoor air outlet is located on the side of the first shell 11 facing the outdoor side, so that outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet and then enters the outdoor side from the outdoor air outlet.

[0039] The indoor unit is located on the indoor side and includes a second shell 12 and an indoor fan and an indoor heat exchanger arranged in the second shell 12. The second shell 12 has an indoor air passage formed therein, and the second shell 12 has an indoor air inlet and an indoor air outlet, i.e., the second shell 12 surface is arranged at the indoor air inlet and the indoor air outlet. The indoor air outlet is located on the side of the second shell 12 facing the indoor side, so that indoor air enters the second shell 12 from the indoor air inlet and then enters the indoor side from the indoor air outlet.

[0040] It can be understood that the first shell 11 is arranged on the outdoor side, i.e., the first shell 11 has an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet arranged thereon, and outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet and then enters the outdoor side from the outdoor air outlet. The outdoor air passage is arranged in the first shell 11, the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor fan are arranged in the first shell 11, and outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet and is discharged from the outdoor air outlet after being heated in the first shell 11.

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

[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 arranged in a spaced manner, and a window is arranged between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. The second shell 12 passes through the window and is connected to the first shell 11.

[0043] The compressor is arranged in the outdoor air passage, and the compressor is provided with an exhaust port and a return port. The compressor compresses the refrigerant, so that the low-pressure refrigerant becomes high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor from the return port. After the low-pressure refrigerant is compressed into high-pressure refrigerant by the compressor, the high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the exhaust port. The refrigerant releases heat at the condenser, absorbs heat at the evaporator after being decompressed, and finally enters the compressor from the return port.

[0044] The outdoor heat exchanger is arranged in the outdoor air passage and exchanges heat between the outdoor air and the refrigerant transmitted in the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor air entering the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet flows in the outdoor air passage and exchanges heat with the refrigerant at the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0045] The outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet, flows in the outdoor air passage, and flows to the outdoor heat exchanger. The refrigerant flows in the outdoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor air exchanges heat with the refrigerant when passing through the outdoor heat exchanger. The heat-exchanged outdoor air flows through the outdoor air passage to the outdoor air outlet and is discharged to the outdoor 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 releases heat to the outdoor air through the outdoor heat exchanger to condense. 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 to evaporate.

[0047] When the window air conditioner 100 is cooling, the exhaust port of the compressor is in communication with the outdoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger is a condenser, the outdoor air entering from the outdoor air inlet flows to the outdoor heat exchanger, and the refrigerant releases a large amount of heat at the outdoor heat exchanger; the outdoor air absorbs the heat of the refrigerant.

[0048] When the window air conditioner 100 is heating, the discharge port of the compressor is communicated with the indoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger is an evaporator, and the refrigerant is cooled in the indoor heat exchanger and then 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 the heat of the outdoor air in the outdoor heat exchanger.

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

[0050] The outdoor fan is arranged in the first shell 11, and under the driving of the outdoor fan, the outdoor air enters the first shell 11 from the outdoor air inlet, flows through the outdoor air passage to the outdoor heat exchanger, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger. Under the driving of the outdoor fan, the refrigerant is discharged to the outdoor from the outdoor air outlet.

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

[0052] In addition, the user can also adjust the air volume of the window air conditioner 100 by controlling the rotating speed of the indoor fan, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0053] The indoor heat exchanger is arranged in the indoor air passage and exchanges heat between the indoor air and the refrigerant flowing in the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor air entering the second shell 12 from the indoor air inlet flows in the indoor air passage to the indoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the refrigerant.

[0054] The indoor air enters the second shell 12 from the indoor air inlet, flows in the indoor air passage to the indoor heat exchanger, and the refrigerant flows in the indoor heat exchanger. When the indoor air passes through the indoor heat exchanger, it exchanges heat with the refrigerant. The indoor air after heat exchange flows through the indoor air passage to the indoor air outlet and is discharged to the indoor from the indoor air outlet.

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

[0056] When the window air conditioner 100 is cooling, the discharge port of the compressor is communicated with the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor heat exchanger is an evaporator, and the refrigerant is cooled in the outdoor heat exchanger and then 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 in the indoor heat exchanger to achieve the effect of cooling the indoor.

[0057] When the window-type air conditioner 100 is heating, the discharge port of the compressor is communicated with 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, and the refrigerant releases a large amount of heat at the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor air absorbs the heat of the refrigerant, achieving the effect of heating the indoor.

[0058] The indoor fan is arranged in the second shell 12. The indoor fan rotates to drive the airflow to flow from the indoor air inlet to the indoor air outlet through the indoor air passage and the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor fan is located in the second shell 12. Under the driving of the indoor fan, the indoor air enters the second shell 12 from the indoor air inlet, flows through the indoor air passage to the indoor heat exchanger, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant at the indoor heat exchanger. Under the driving of the indoor fan, the refrigerant is discharged from the indoor air outlet to the indoor.

[0059] In addition, the connecting bridge part is at least partially located on the window. One end of the connecting bridge part is connected with the indoor unit part, and the other end is connected with the outdoor unit part. That is, the indoor unit part, the outdoor unit part and the connecting bridge part together form a reliable N-shaped structure, so that the window-type air conditioner 100 can be mounted on the window sill. Compared with the traditional integrated square shape, it is more convenient to install. When the window-type air conditioner 100 is mounted on the window sill, the indoor unit part and the outdoor unit part located on the left and right sides of the window can keep the balance and stability of the window-type air conditioner 100, and the installation effect is more reliable.

[0060] As shown in Figure 1 The connecting bridge part includes a connecting bridge shell 13 connected with the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 respectively to realize the connection between the connecting bridge part, the outdoor unit part and the indoor unit part. That is, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected through the connecting bridge shell 13. One side of the first shell 11 facing the indoor abuts against the connecting bridge shell 13, and the other side of the first shell 11 facing the indoor is connected with one end of the connecting bridge shell 13. One side of the second shell 12 facing the outdoor abuts against the connecting bridge shell 13, and the other side of the second shell 12 facing the outdoor is connected with the other end of the connecting bridge shell 13.

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

[0062] Specifically, the window type air conditioner 100 further comprises a sliding assembly 32 arranged between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge shell 13, and the sliding assembly 32 is configured to drive the second housing 12 to move in the height direction relative to the connecting bridge shell 13. That is, the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge shell 13 are connected through the sliding assembly 32, and the second housing 12 can be adjusted in height relative to the connecting bridge shell 13. When the indoor unit is raised, the indoor air outlet of the indoor unit can be raised, thereby providing a better air supply experience.

[0063] Referring to Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the window type air conditioner 100 further comprises a locking assembly 20 and a first locking member 31, the first locking member 31 is fixed on the connecting bridge shell 13, and the locking assembly 20 is arranged in the second housing 12, and the locking assembly 20 is configured to lock with the first locking member 31, so that when the second housing 12 is raised to the raised position, the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31 are locked to fix the second housing 12. That is, the locking assembly 20 is arranged in the second housing 12 towards the connecting bridge shell 13, and the first locking member 31 is arranged on the connecting bridge shell 13 towards the second housing 12, so that the locking assembly 20 can selectively lock with the first locking member 31.

[0064] For example, when the second housing 12 is slid relative to the connecting bridge shell 13 to the raised position, that is, the height of the second housing 12 is raised relative to the height of the connecting bridge shell 13, the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31 can be locked to realize the locking between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge shell 13, and then the second housing 12 can be fixed in the raised position.

[0065] Of course, when it is necessary to lower the second housing 12 from the raised position, the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31 can be unlocked to realize the unlocking between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge shell 13, and then the second housing 12 can be lowered relative to the connecting bridge shell 13

[0066] Therefore, the locking assembly 20 is arranged in the second housing 12 towards the connecting bridge shell 13, and the first locking member 31 is arranged on the connecting bridge shell 13 towards the second housing 12, and when the second housing 12 is slid relative to the connecting bridge shell 13 to the raised position, the locking assembly 20 and the first locking member 31 can be locked to realize the locking between the second housing 12 and the connecting bridge shell 13, and then the second housing 12 can be fixed in the raised position.

[0067] Referring to 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 a transmission engagement. The driving member 22 is used to drive the second locking member 21 from the locked position to the unlocked position. That is, the locking assembly 20 has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking assembly 20 is in the locked position, the second housing 12 drives the second locking member 21 to engage with the first locking member 31. When the locking assembly 20 is in the unlocked position, the second housing 12 drives the second locking member 21 to unlock with the first locking member 31. Thus, without opening the first housing 11 or the second housing 12, the second housing 12 can be directly lifted relative to the connecting bridge housing 13.

[0068] Furthermore, the second locking member 21 selectively locks with the first locking member 31. That is, when the locking assembly 20 is in the locked position, the second locking member 21 locks with the first locking member 31, thereby fixing the second housing 12 relative to the connecting bridge housing 13 and 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 the driving member 22 can be exposed relative to the second housing 12, and the other end of the driving member 22 can engage with the second locking member 21. That is, the driving member 22 can drive the second locking member 21 from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this way, the user can press the driving member 22 to move the second locking member 21 from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby unlocking the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31, and allowing the second housing 12 to descend from the raised position to the initial position relative to the connecting bridge housing 13.

[0070] And, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second locking member 21 is provided with a first guide slope 211. The first guide slope 211 and the lower end of the driving member 22 are arranged opposite each other so that when the driving member 22 moves toward the first guide slope 211, the second locking member 21 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this way, the first guide slope 211 on the second locking member 21 and the lower end of the driving member 22 are guided and engaged. That is, when the driving member 22 is pressed, the driving member 22 moves downward. At this time, the lower end of the driving member 22 and the first guide slope 211 are guided and engaged, so that the second locking member 21 moves on the horizontal plane, thereby realizing the movement of the first locking member 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0071] Of course, the lower end of the drive component 22 may also be provided with a guide slope, which may have the same inclination angle as the first guide slope 211.

[0072] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the locking assembly 20 further comprises a reset member 23, which is arranged at one end of a straight line where the second locking member 21 is located in the locking position and the unlocking position, 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 located in the locking position, the first reset member continuously provides a 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 locking between the second locking member 21 and the first locking member 31 is disconnected, the reset force of the reset member 23 is released, and under the action of the reset force of the reset member 23, the second locking member 21 slides from the locking position to the unlocking position.

[0074] Preferably, the reset member 23 is a spring.

[0075] With reference to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking assembly 20 further comprises a box body 24 and a box cover 25, which are connected to each other, and between which a channel is defined for the movement of the second locking member 21. The end of the second locking member 21 away from the first locking member 31 in the channel is the unlocking position, and the end of the second locking member 21 towards the first locking member 31 in the channel is the locking position. The reset member 23 is arranged in the channel and abuts against the second locking member 21.

[0076] That is, the locking assembly 20 is composed of the box body 24 and the box cover 25, wherein the box cover 25 is arranged on the box body 24, and through the cooperation of the box cover 25 and the box body 24, a channel is defined between the box cover 25 and the box body 24 for the movement of the second locking member 21, so that the second locking member 21 can move in the box cover 25 and the box body 24, that is, the second locking member 21 can move between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0077] Preferably, one of a buckle and a clamping groove is arranged on the box body 24, and the other of the buckle and the clamping groove is arranged on the box cover 25, and the buckle and the clamping groove are in clamping cooperation. Specifically, the box body 24 can be provided with a clamping groove or a buckle, and the box cover 25 can be provided with a buckle or a clamping groove. Through the clamping cooperation of the clamping groove and the buckle, the box body 24 and the box cover 25 are first combined and fixed.

[0078] That is, the connection between the box body 24 and the box cover 25 through the buckle and the clamping groove is relatively simple and fast, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the window type 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.
