[0032] Optionally, a driving member 620 and a gear are provided on one of the first guide rail 710 and the second guide rail 720, and a rack 610 is provided on the other. That is to say, the driving member 620 and the gear can be arranged on the first guide rail 710, and the rack 610 is arranged on the second guide rail 720; or, the driving member 620 and the gear can be arranged on the second guide rail 720, and the rack 610 is arranged on the first guide rail 710, which can be specifically set according to actual requirements.

[0033] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, a first groove 711 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the first guide rail 710, the driving member 620 is arranged on the first guide rail 710, and the gear is arranged in the first groove 711; as Figure 3 shown, a second groove 721 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the second guide rail 720, and the rack 610 is arranged in the second groove 721. In this way, the overall structure of the window air conditioner can be made more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the window air conditioner.

[0034] Optionally, the first guide rails 710 are provided on both pairs of sides of the inner wall of the outer box 100, the second guide rails 720 are provided on both pairs of sides of the chassis 200, and the first guide rails 710 on both pairs of sides are slidably matched with the second guide rails 720 on both pairs of sides one by one. With such a setting, the quick positioning effect during the assembly of the outer box 100 and the chassis 200 can be improved, and at the same time, the stability of the outer box 100 relative to the chassis 200 during lifting can also be further improved.

[0035] Specifically, the outer box 100 has an indoor side and an outdoor side. The heat exchanger includes an indoor heat exchanger 310 and an outdoor heat exchanger 320. The indoor heat exchanger 310 is arranged close to the indoor side of the outer box 100, and the outdoor heat exchanger 320 is arranged close to the outdoor side of the outer box 100.

[0037] Optionally, an opening 101 is provided on the indoor side of the outer box 100. The window air conditioner further includes a panel 800 provided with an air outlet 801. The panel 800 covers the opening 101 of the outer box 100, and the air outlet direction of the indoor fan 510 faces the air outlet 801. That is to say, the panel 800 is also provided on the outer box 100. In this application, by arranging the indoor fan 510, the outdoor fan 520, and the panel 800 on the outer box 100, the indoor fan 510, the outdoor fan 520, the panel 800, and the outer box 100 are assembled into a whole. Thus, the outer box 100 can drive the indoor fan 510, the outdoor fan 520, and the panel 800 to lift relative to the chassis 200 at the same time. When it is necessary to repair core components such as the heat exchanger and the electric control box 400, only need to control the driving component to drive the outer box 100 to drive the indoor fan 510, the outdoor fan 520, and the panel 800 to rise relative to the chassis 200 to a suitable position (for example, rise to the position where the gear disengages from the rack 610), and then remove the outer box 100, the panel 800, and the fan as a whole, then the core components such as the indoor heat exchanger 310, the outdoor heat exchange condenser, and the electric control box 400 can be quickly exposed, so as to facilitate the repair of the faulty core components.

[0038] Optionally, a circuit board is provided in the electric control box 400. The window air conditioner further includes an electric control wire 410.
