[0027] In the above technical solution, a first telescopic tube and a second telescopic tube are connected and arranged between the indoor unit connecting pipeline group of the vertical air conditioner and the outdoor unit connecting pipeline group of the air conditioner outdoor unit for circulating refrigerant. Since the first telescopic tube and the second telescopic tube can be telescopically arranged, the originally rigidly connected indoor and outdoor unit connecting pipes have a lateral movement range, so that the position of the air conditioner is not constrained by the copper tube and can be moved a certain distance on the ground. After the vertical air conditioner is moved, the back or corner can be cleaned to avoid breeding of rats and insects.

[0028] Furthermore, the first telescopic tube 5 and the second telescopic tube 6 each include an outer tube 7, an inner cavity 8 is formed in the outer tube 7, an inner tube 9 is passed through the outer tube 7, a flow cavity 10 communicating with the inner cavity 8 is formed in the inner tube 9; an edge of one end of the inner tube 9 extending into the inner cavity 8 is constructed with a sliding wall 11 that cooperates with the inner wall of the outer tube 7, a sealing wall 12 that cooperates with the outer wall of the inner tube 9 is formed at the side end of the outer tube 7, and a spring 13 is provided between the sliding wall 11 and the sealing wall 12 in the outer tube 7; when the inner tube 9 is extended relative to the outer tube 7, the sliding wall 11 moves close to the sealing wall 12 in the inner cavity 8 and squeezes the spring 13; when the spring 13 reacts on the sliding wall 11, the inner tube 9 contracts relative to the outer tube 7.

[0029] In the above technical solution, when the vertical air conditioner is moved, the air conditioner drives the outer tube to move outward, the sliding wall moves in the inner cavity close to the sealing wall and squeezes the spring, and the inner tube moves outward so that the entire telescopic tube is stretched; when the vertical air conditioner is reset, the spring elastic force reacts to the sliding wall to move toward one side of the air conditioner, and most of the inner tube is retracted into the outer tube so that the entire telescopic tube is contracted. It should be noted here that the above structure is a telescopic tube structure in this case, and it can also be other effective telescopic tube structures.

[0030] Furthermore, a mounting tube 14 is formed at one end of the outer tube 7 close to the indoor unit connection pipeline group 3, and a fixed end nut 15 is provided at the outer end of the mounting tube 14 to be connected to the indoor unit connection pipeline group 3. In this technical solution, the indoor unit connection pipeline group includes pipelines and lines, etc., and the fixed end nut is connected to the pipeline in the indoor unit connection pipeline group, which has high stability.

[0031] Furthermore, one end of the inner tube 9 close to the external machine connection pipeline group 4 is formed with a movable end nut 16 connected to the external machine connection pipeline group 4.

In this technical solution, the drain pipe and the power line in the indoor unit connection line group are appropriately lengthened, and the drain pipe and the power line are made of flexible material to adapt to the movement of the air conditioner.

[0034] Furthermore, a through hole communicating with the inside of the air conditioner is provided at the lower part of the side wall of the housing, a wiring cover plate 19 is provided outside the through hole, the wiring cover plate 19 is provided with a screw hole 20 for fixing with the air conditioner, and a plurality of knock-out grooves 21 are provided at the lower part of the wiring cover plate 19, and the knock-out hole 2 is formed by knocking along part of the knock-out grooves 21. In this technical solution, the wiring cover plate is fixed to the air conditioner 1 by screwing screws into the screw holes, and a plurality of strip-shaped knock-out grooves are provided on the wiring cover plate, which are used to cut and form knock-out holes for the indoor unit connection pipelines to pass through.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of movable feet are provided on the bottom plate 22 of the vertical air conditioner body 1, and the movable feet include a stepped channel steel 23, a roller 24 and a support foot 25.

The bolt knob 28 can drive the support foot 25 to move longitudinally under the action of an external force, so that the lower end of the support foot 25 is lower than or higher than the lower end of the roller 24.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the ladder channel steel is fixed on the bottom surface of the air conditioner, and the roller is slightly higher than the bottom surface of the air conditioner. By opening the wiring cover and rotating the bolt knob, the height of the base foot can be adjusted up and down; when the base foot is higher than the roller, the roller contacts the ground, and the air conditioner can be moved in the front and rear directions, which is very convenient; when the base foot is lower than the roller, the base foot contacts the ground, and the air conditioner is fixed in place.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, in view of the fact that the connecting pipes of the internal and external units of the existing vertical air conditioner are rigidly connected, making the vertical air conditioner unable to move, resulting in a sanitary dead corner in the back corner, which will increase the number of rats and insects over the years, the above scheme arranges a telescopic tube on the copper tube between the vertical air conditioner and the air conditioner outdoor unit, so that the originally rigidly connected connecting pipes of the internal and external units have a lateral movement range, and the movable base is adjusted to make the air conditioner movable or fixed. After the vertical air conditioner is moved, the back or corner can be cleaned, which is very convenient.
