[0046] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0048] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] A window-type air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a window air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises an exterior unit 100 and a connecting member 400 adapted to penetrate a window. The exterior unit 100 comprises an outer housing, a middle partition 20, and a support plate 30. The outer housing encloses an outer chamber 10, the middle partition 20 is disposed within the outer chamber 10, and the support plate 30 is located within the outer chamber 10 and rotatably connected to the connecting member 400.

[0051] It is understood that when the external unit 100 rotates relative to the connecting member 400, the support plate 30 rotates synchronously with the external unit 100, and the support plate 30 bears the weight of the external unit 100. Therefore, in order to ensure the structural stability of the external unit 100 when it rotates, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the support plate 30 connected to the external unit 100.

[0052] Thus, the left edge, right edge and rear edge of the support plate 30 are respectively connected to the external casing, so that the support plate 30 has multiple connection positions in the external component, so that a closed load-bearing ring is formed around the support plate 30, thereby improving the firmness of the connection of the support plate 30 in the external component 100 and reducing or avoiding stress deformation of the support plate 30.

[0053] Furthermore, as the number of connection points between the support plate 30 and the outer housing increases, the interaction force between the outer housing and the support plate 30 decreases at each connection point. Thus, by connecting the support plate 30 to the outer component 100 at different circumferential positions, the outer housing can disperse the load at different positions, reducing the localized load on the outer housing, reducing or preventing deformation of the outer housing due to excessive localized load, and improving its structural stability, that is, improving the structural stability of the outer component 100.

[0054] The window air conditioner 1000 of the present application is configured to connect the edge of the support plate 30 to the outer housing at different positions along the circumference, so that the support plate 30 forms a closed load-bearing ring around the perimeter, thereby improving the structural stability and installation security of the support plate 30 within the outer unit 100. At the same time, the outer housing can disperse the forces acting on the support plate 30 at different positions along the circumference of the support plate, thereby improving the structural stability of the outer housing and thus improving the overall structural stability of the outer unit 100. This further improves the overall structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the outer unit 100, reduces or avoids structural deformation caused by the rotation of the outer unit 100 relative to the connecting member 400, and improves the stability of the outer unit 100 when rotating relative to the connecting member 400.

[0055] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8In a specific example, a window air conditioner 1000 includes an indoor unit 200, an outdoor unit 100, a rotating shaft 300, and a connecting member 400. The rotating shaft 300 is used to rotatably connect the outdoor unit 100 and the connecting member 400. The connecting member 400 is connected to the indoor unit 200. The indoor unit 200 is mounted on the inside of the window, and the outdoor unit 100 is mounted on the outside of the window. The outer housing includes opposing left and right panels 11 and 12, opposing front and rear panels 13 and 14, and opposing top and bottom panels 16. The left and right panels 11, 12, front and rear panels 13, 14, top and bottom panels 15, and bottom panel 16 enclose an outer chamber 10. The middle partition 20 divides the outer chamber 10 into a fan installation chamber 10a and a compressor installation chamber 10b, and can install the fan 90 and the compressor in the separated spaces, reducing or avoiding mutual interference between the operation of the fan 90 and the compressor, and improving the safety of the operation of the fan 90 and the compressor. At the same time, the airflow driven by the fan 90 can flow more concentratedly in the fan 90 accommodation chamber, thereby improving the efficiency of the fan 90 in driving the airflow.

[0056] The support plate 30 is connected to the left side plate 11 at the left edge, to the right side plate 12 at the right edge, and to the rear side plate 14 at the rear edge.

[0057] It can be understood that the window air conditioner 1000 has an installation state and a usage state. In the installation state, the angle between the rear side panel 14 of the outdoor unit 100 and the connecting component 400 is approximately 180° (close to 180° or equal to 180°). In the usage state, the angle between the outdoor unit 100 and the connecting component 400 is approximately 90° (close to 90 degrees or equal to 90°), which makes the window air conditioner 1000 more convenient to install on the window. During the installation process, the installer does not need to eject most of his body out of the window, which can reduce safety hazards during the installation process and improve installation convenience.

[0058] In the present application, there is no limitation on the connection method and the layout of the connection positions between the support plate 30 and the left side plate 11 , the rear side plate 14 and the right side plate 12 .

[0059] Preferably, the support plate 30 is connected to the left side plate 11 , the rear side plate 14 and the right side plate 12 by bolts.

[0060] Preferably, the middle partition plate 20 is bolted to the front panel 13 .

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7-Figure 9As shown, the external component 100 also includes: an electric control box 40, which is arranged in the external cavity 10, the rear end of the electric control box 40 is connected to the support plate 30, and the front end of the electric control box 40 is connected to the external casing, so that the electric control box 40 is fixed to the support plate 30 and the external casing at the same time.

[0062] Thus, the front and rear ends of the electric control box 40 are connected to the outer housing and the support plate 30, respectively, to secure the electric control box 40 within the outer unit 100. Furthermore, the electric control box 40 can reversely limit the relative position of the support plate 30 and the outer housing, maintaining a stable relative position between the support plate 30 and the outer housing.

[0063] At this time, in addition to being used to rotate and connect the connecting component 400, the support plate 30 is also used to fix the electrical control box 40, so that the support plate 30 can be used for multiple purposes, thereby reducing the connection structure required in the external component 100, saving the internal space of the external component 100, improving the space utilization in the external cavity 10, and reducing the production cost of the connection structure.

[0064] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the specific example, the electric control box 40 is located below the top cover 15, so that the top cover 15 protects the electric control box 40, reduces or prevents liquid from falling on the electric control box 40, and reduces or prevents impact on the electric control box 40. At the same time, the front end of the electric control box 40 is connected to the front panel 13, further securing the electric control box 40.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a fixing block 41 is provided on the rear end side wall of the electric control box 40 . There are at least two fixing blocks 41 distributed laterally and spaced apart. The fixing blocks 41 are located above the support plate 30 and connected to the support plate 30 .

[0066] As a result, there are multiple connection positions between the electronic control box 40 and the support plate 30, and the multiple fixing blocks 41 and the support plate 30 can disperse the load, reducing or avoiding deformation or disconnection from the support plate 30 caused by excessive force on any fixing block 41, thereby improving the stability of the fixing block 41 structure and the firmness of the connection between the fixing block 41 and the support plate 30.

[0067] At the same time, multiple connection positions are set between the electric control box 40 and the support plate 30, which can also reduce or avoid the rotation of the electric control box 40 or the support plate 30 around the single fixed block 41, thereby improving the stability of the relative position between the electric control box 40 and the support plate 30, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the electric control box 40 and the support plate 30.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the electric control box 40 is connected to the upper end of the middle partition 20 so that the electric control box 40 is grounded through the middle partition 20 .

[0069] It is understandable that the middle partition plate 20 can be used for grounding the electric control box 40 while being connected to and fixed to the support plate 30 .

[0070] In this way, the middle partition 20 can be used for multiple purposes without the need to additionally set up a grounding structure for the electrical control box 40, thereby reducing the number of structures within the outer cavity 10, simplifying the structural layout within the outer cavity 10, improving the space utilization within the outer cavity 10, and reducing the production cost of the external unit component 100.

[0071] In this application, there is no limitation on the method for achieving conductive grounding of the middle partition 20. For example, the middle partition 20 may be a metal member. In another example, the middle partition 20 may be provided with a conductive strip, which is grounded, and the electrical control box 40 may be connected to the conductive strip.

[0072] In the present application, there is no limitation on the connection method between the electric control box 40 and the middle partition 20. For example, the electric control box 40 and the middle partition 20 are connected by bolts, so that the middle partition 20 can fix the electric control box 40.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, one side of the middle partition 20 is a fan installation cavity 10a, and the external unit component 100 further includes: a motor bracket 50, which is located in the fan installation cavity 10a, and the upper end of the motor bracket 50 is connected to the electric control box 40.

[0074] Therefore, the motor bracket 50 is suitable for fixing the fan 90 in the fan installation cavity 10a, and the motor bracket 50 is connected to the electrical control box 40 at the upper end to limit the relative position between the motor bracket 50 and the electrical control box 40, so that the relative position between the electrical control box 40 and the fan 90 remains fixed, which facilitates the wiring harness to connect the electrical control box 40 and the fan 90, facilitates the setting of the wiring harness routing path, and improves the stability of the wiring harness routing path.

[0075] In the present application, there is no limitation on the connection method between the motor bracket 50 and the electric control box 40. For example, the motor bracket 50 and the electric control box 40 are connected by bolts.

[0076] Furthermore, the outer housing includes a front panel 13, and the motor bracket 50 includes an upper horizontal frame 51 and a vertical frame 52. The front end of the upper horizontal frame 51 is sandwiched between the front panel 13 and the electrical control box 40, and fasteners are inserted through the front panel 13 and the upper horizontal frame 51 to connect to the electrical control box 40. The vertical frame 52 is arranged vertically, with its upper end connected to the upper horizontal frame 51, and is used to connect to the fan 90.

[0077] It can be understood that the motor bracket 50 is connected to the electrical control box 40 through the upper horizontal frame 51 to maintain the stability of the position of the motor bracket 50 relative to the electrical control box 40, and the position of the fan 90 relative to the vertical frame 52 is stable, and the relative position of the vertical frame 52 and the upper horizontal frame 51 is fixed, thereby achieving the stability of the position of the electrical control box 40 relative to the fan 90.

[0078] Therefore, the upper horizontal frame 51 is clamped between the front panel 13 and the electrical control box 40 to maintain the relative position stability between the front panel 13, the upper horizontal frame 51 and the electrical control box 40, and the upper end of the vertical frame 52 is connected to the upper horizontal frame 51. Under the premise that the position of the upper horizontal frame 51 is stable, the upper horizontal frame 51 can limit the position of the vertical frame 52 in the fan installation cavity 10a, thereby limiting the setting position of the fan 90 in the fan installation cavity 10a, that is, achieving the relative position stability of the fan 90 and the electrical control box 40.

[0079] Preferably, the upper cross frame 51 is provided with a wire harness retaining hole, through which the wire harness is passed, so that the upper cross frame 51 can limit the end of the wire harness connected to the electric control box 40. Since the relative position of the upper cross frame 51 and the electric control box 40 remains stable, shaking of the end of the wire harness connected to the electric control box 40 relative to the electric control box 40 is reduced or avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the wire harness and the electric control box 40.

[0080] Preferably, the wiring harness portion between the electric control box 40 and the fan 90 is fixed on the vertical frame 52, which can further improve the stability of the wiring harness setting position.

[0081] Furthermore, the outdoor unit 100 includes an outdoor heat exchanger, at least partially located on the side of the vertical frame 52 away from the front panel 13. It should be noted that the fan 90 is located between the vertical frame 52 and the front panel 13, and the airflow driven by the fan 90 flows from the side of the vertical frame 52 away from the front panel 13 to the fan 90. By arranging the outdoor heat exchanger at least partially located on the side of the vertical frame 52 away from the front panel 13, the airflow driven by the fan 90 and flowing from the side of the vertical frame 52 away from the front panel 13 to the fan 90 can flow through at least a portion of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0082] At the same time, the lower end of the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the outer casing, the upper end of the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the support plate 30, and the rear end of the upper cross frame 51 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger or the support plate 30, or is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger and the support plate 30 at the same time.

[0083] Thus, the outdoor heat exchanger can be limited at the upper end, the lower end and the rear end to achieve the fixation of the outdoor heat exchanger in the outdoor unit component 100, thereby improving the stability of the connection of the outdoor heat exchanger in the outdoor unit component 100.

[0084] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the specific example, the lower end of the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the base plate 16.

[0085] In the present application, there is no limitation on the connection method between the outdoor heat exchanger and the outer casing and the support plate 30. For example, the outdoor heat exchanger and the outer casing or the support plate 30 are connected by bolts.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the outer housing includes a front panel 13. The front edge of the support plate 30 includes a first section 31, a second section 32, and a third section 33 arranged in a transverse order. The distance from the second section 32 to the front panel 13 is greater than the distance from the first section 31 and the third section 33 to the front panel 13. The rear end of the electric control box 40 is connected to the second section 32. The rear end of the middle partition 20 is connected to the connection between the second section 32 and the third section 33.

[0087] It can be understood that the more connection locations the support plate 30 has with the outer casing at the left edge, the right edge, and the rear edge, the more stable the connection between the support plate 30 and the outer casing.

[0088] Therefore, by setting the distance from the second section 32 to the front panel 13 to be greater than the distances from the first section 31 and the third section 33 to the front panel 13, a larger space for installing the electrical control box 40 can be reserved between the front panel 13 and the support plate 30, reducing or avoiding the spatial obstruction of the support plate 30 to the installation of the electrical control box 40, ensuring that the electrical control box 40 can be connected to the second section 32 at the rear end, and at the same time reducing or avoiding the spatial obstruction of the support plate 30 to the electrical connection between the electrical control box 40 and the fan 90.

[0089] At the same time, the distance between the first section 31 and the third section 33 and the front panel 13 can be set smaller, so that the support plate 30 can have a larger edge length in the first section 31 and the third section 33, which is convenient for setting more connection positions between the first section 31 and the third section 33 and the outer casing, and facilitating the layout of its connection positions, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the support plate 30 and the outer casing at the left and right edges.

[0090] Furthermore, the support plate 30 is connected to the connecting member 400 via the rotating shaft member 300. There are two rotating shaft members 300 spaced apart, and the front ends of the two rotating shaft members 300 extend to the first section 31 and the third section 33 respectively.

[0091] Thus, the two rotating shaft members 300 are connected to the first section 31 and the third section 33, respectively, which can improve the stability of the support plate 30 when rotating relative to the rotating shaft member 300. Furthermore, the width of the first section 31 and the third section 33 in the front-to-back direction can be larger, so that the rotating shaft member 300 can have a larger connection area along the front-to-back direction on the first section 31 and the third section 33, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the rotating shaft member 300 and the support plate 30, increasing the torque when the support plate 30 rotates relative to the rotating shaft member 300, reducing the resistance encountered when the external unit member 100 rotates relative to the connecting member 400, and thus improving the stability and smoothness of the external unit member 100 when rotating relative to the connecting member 400.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the outdoor unit component 100 includes: an outdoor heat exchanger at least partially arranged in the outer cavity 10, the outdoor heat exchanger includes: a tube clamp 60 and a refrigerant tube (not shown in the figure) passing through the tube clamp 60, the tube clamp 60 is vertically arranged in the outer cavity 10, and the upper end of the tube clamp 60 is connected to the support plate 30.

[0093] Therefore, the support plate 30 can limit the position of the tube clamp 60, and the tube clamp 60 can limit the setting position of the refrigerant tube, thereby stabilizing the setting position of the refrigerant tube in the outer cavity 10 and making the cooperation effect between the fan 90 and the outdoor heat exchanger more stable.

[0094] In addition, the support plate 30 can also fix the pipe clamp 60 , further improving the multi-purpose effect of the support plate 30 .

[0095] In the present application, there is no limitation on the connection method between the tube clamp plate 60 and the support plate 30. For example, the tube clamp plate 60 and the support plate 30 are connected by bolts.

[0096] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the front panel 13 of the outer housing is provided with a mist outlet 134. The mist outlet 134 at least partially protrudes from the side of the front panel 13 away from the outer chamber 10. The area of ​​the mist outlet 134 gradually increases in the direction away from the outer chamber 10. The outer unit 100 also includes a spray head 70 disposed within the mist outlet 134.

[0097] It is understandable that the water mist or gas sprayed from the spray head 70 easily forms water droplets at the mist outlet 134 , and the water droplets will drip or flow down from the mist outlet 134 under the action of gravity.

[0098] As a result, the area of ​​the mist outlet 134 gradually increases in the direction away from the outer cavity 10, that is, the mist outlet 134 forms a flared structure, which can facilitate the water droplets to flow downward along the flared structure under the action of gravity and from the side of the mist outlet 134 away from the outer cavity 10, reducing or avoiding the water flow back from the mist outlet 134 to the outer cavity 10, reducing or avoiding the risk of short circuit of the fan 90 or the compressor.

[0099] At the same time, a mist outlet 134 is provided that at least partially protrudes from the side of the front panel 13 away from the outer cavity 10. When water droplets drip along the mist outlet 134, the water droplets can avoid the front panel 13 in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing or preventing the water droplets from flowing onto the front panel 13, and further reducing or preventing the water droplets or water flow from the front panel 13 into the outer cavity 10, further reducing or avoiding the risk of short circuit of the fan 90 or the compressor, and also reducing or avoiding the problem of ice formation caused by water droplets on the front panel 13 in a low temperature environment.

[0100] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the front panel 13 of the outer housing is provided with an air outlet 131. The front panel 13 forms an air guide ring 132 at the edge of the air outlet 131. The air guide ring 132 is located on the side of the air outlet 131 facing the outer cavity 10. The outer unit 100 also includes a grille 133 provided inside the air outlet 131.

[0101] Thus, the grille member 133 can reduce or prevent solid impurities from entering the accommodating chamber of the fan 90 from the air outlet 131 , thereby protecting the fan 90 and improving the working stability of the fan 90 .

[0102] At the same time, the air guide ring 132 can guide the direction of the airflow in the fan 90 accommodating cavity, optimize the airflow flow path of the fan 90 accommodating cavity, and improve the efficiency of the airflow flowing out of the fan 90 accommodating cavity from the air outlet 131, thereby improving the driving effect of the fan 90 on the airflow.

[0103] Preferably, the grille member 133 is configured as a metal member, which can improve the structural strength of the grille member 133 and ensure the protection effect of the grille member 133 on the fan 90.

[0104] Preferably, the air guide ring 132 is configured as a metal part, which can ensure the structural strength of the air guide ring 132 and reduce or avoid its deformation under the impact of airflow.

[0105] Preferably, the front panel 13 is a sheet metal component, and the air guide ring 132 is integrally formed on the front panel 13 .

[0106] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the external unit 100 further includes a handle 80 provided on the external housing.

[0107] Thus, the handle 80 can provide a force point on the surface of the outer casing, making it easy to carry, rotate or move the outer component 100 through the handle 80 .

[0108] Preferably, the handle 80 is arranged at a position of the outer casing away from the rotating shaft component 300, which can increase the distance between the handle 80 and the rotating shaft component 300, so that when the outer component 100 is rotated relative to the rotating shaft component 300, the torque between the handle 80 and the rotating shaft component 300 is larger, which can reduce the force required to rotate the outer component 100, making it easier to rotate the outer component 100 through the handle 80.

[0109] In this application, there is no limitation on the number of handles 80 and the location of the handles 80 on the outer housing. Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 In the example, there are two handles 80 , and the two handles 80 are respectively provided on the left side plate 11 and the right side plate 12 .

[0110] In this application, the structure of the handle 80 is not limited. Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 In the example of the embodiment, the handle 80 is a groove formed on the surface of the outer casing. In another example, the handle 80 can be configured as a protrusion formed on the surface of the outer casing.

[0111] In some embodiments, an appearance plate is provided on a side of the front panel 13 away from the outer chamber 10 , and the appearance plate is bolted to the front panel 13 , which can improve the appearance of the external unit 100 .

[0112] Preferably, the appearance plate is configured as a plastic part.
