[0040] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present application discloses an air conditioner, including: a box body 10, a water storage box 20, a height adjustment assembly 30, and a plurality of weight sensors; wherein, the water storage box 20 is connected to the box body 10 and is used for storing condensed water, the plurality of weight sensors are arranged at intervals at the bottom of the water storage box 20, and the weight sensors are used to detect and receive the weight signal of the condensed water in the water storage box 20 from the top, and send the weight signal to the height adjustment assembly 30. The height adjustment assembly 30 is telescopically connected to the box body 10 and is electrically connected to the weight sensors. In practical applications, the height adjustment assembly 30 can receive the weight signal from the weight sensors, and the height adjustment assembly 30 expands and contracts according to the weight signal to drive the box body 10 to lift and adjust the levelness of the box body 10.

[0042] Among them, the water storage box 20 is a cuboid box structure with an open upper end, and its interior is used for storing condensed water. A drain port is provided on the side of the water storage box 20 for discharging condensed water.

[0043] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of weight sensors is four, and the four weight sensors are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the water storage box 20.

[0044] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application can accurately detect the weight of condensed water at different positions at the bottom of the water storage box 20 by using a plurality of weight sensors, and send the weight signal to the height adjustment assembly 30 in real time. The height adjustment assembly 30 expands and contracts according to these weight signals, so as to drive the box body 10 to lift, so as to automatically adjust the box body 10 to a horizontal state. This adaptive adjustment mechanism ensures that the air conditioner can maintain a horizontal state regardless of the unevenness of the ground, effectively preventing the leakage of condensed water. Further, it also avoids the ground slipperiness caused by water stains and potential safety hazards, and at the same time reduces the inconvenience brought to users by frequent cleaning of water stains. In addition, since the air conditioner may cause increased wear of its internal mechanical components and even cause failures when running in an inclined state for a long time, the present application reduces the additional stress on the equipment caused by inclined use by keeping the box body 10 horizontal, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner and reducing the maintenance cost. In practical applications, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application can more widely adapt to various uneven ground environments, enhancing the environmental adaptability of the air conditioner and improving the market competitiveness and application value of the air conditioner.

[0045] Optionally, the height adjustment assembly 30 includes a plurality of automatic lifting mechanisms 31, and the plurality of automatic lifting mechanisms 31 are evenly arranged at intervals along the circumferential edge of the box body 10.

[0046] Specifically, since multiple automatic lifting mechanisms 31 are evenly distributed on the circumferential edge of the box body 10, they can be more precise in independently or cooperatively adjusting according to the signals of the weight sensors at different positions on the bottom of the water storage box 20. This distributed adjustment mechanism ensures that the box body 10 can be adjusted more comprehensively and evenly in the inclined state, so as to reach the horizontal state faster and more accurately, effectively preventing the leakage of condensed water. In addition, the uniform layout of multiple automatic lifting mechanisms 31 not only enhances the accuracy of the height adjustment of the air conditioner, but also improves the overall stability of the air conditioner. On complex or extremely uneven ground, each lifting mechanism can independently cope with local terrain changes and jointly maintain the horizontal state of the box body 10, reducing the shaking and noise caused by uneven ground and enhancing the user experience. Through more refined and balanced adjustment, the air conditioner runs more smoothly on uneven ground, reducing the additional wear and stress concentration on the internal mechanical components caused by long-term inclined use, which helps to extend the overall service life of the air conditioner and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0047] Optionally, the automatic lifting mechanism 31 includes a first driving member, a first transmission member, and a nut; wherein, the first driving member is in transmission connection with the first transmission member, the first transmission member is in threaded connection with the nut, and the first driving member is used to drive the first transmission member to rotate so as to drive the nut to move along the axial direction of the first transmission member, and the box body 10 is connected to the nut.

[0048] Specifically, the automatic lifting mechanism 31 is placed on the ground and serves as a support component to support the structure of the entire air conditioner. The first driving member can drive the first transmission member to rotate. During the rotation of the first transmission member, the nut threaded with the first transmission member moves along the axial direction of the first transmission member. Further, since the nut is connected to the box body 10, the first transmission member can perform a linear motion relative to the nut, that is: the first transmission member and the box body 10 perform relative motion. In the case where the automatic lifting mechanism 31 is placed on the ground, the first transmission member rotates in place relative to the ground. Therefore, the box body 10 performs a linear motion along the axial direction of the first transmission member, thereby realizing the adjustment of its height.

[0049] It should be noted that the design of the automatic lifting mechanism 31 further optimizes the horizontal adjustment function of the air conditioner. Specifically, by introducing the combined structure of the first driving member, the first transmission member, and the nut, more precise and stable lifting adjustment is achieved. The first driving member, as the power source, can stably drive the first transmission member to rotate, and the threaded connection between the first transmission member and the nut ensures the smoothness and controllability of the lifting process. This mechanical transmission method not only improves the lifting accuracy, reduces the shaking or deviation caused by improper adjustment, but also enhances the durability and reliability of the system.

[0050] In addition, since the box body 10 is directly connected to the nut, when the nut moves axially along the first transmission member, it can directly drive the box body 10 to lift and lower, thereby more directly and effectively adjusting the levelness of the box body 10. This direct connection method reduces the energy loss and error accumulation in the intermediate links, making the level adjustment faster and more accurate.

[0051] In practical applications, the automatic lifting mechanism 31 can be selected as a screw jack. The screw jack drives the screw to rotate through a motor. The nut is sleeved on the screw and is threadedly connected to the screw. During the rotation of the screw, since the nut and the thread are in an engaged relationship and the nut is fixed on the box body 10, the rotational movement of the screw will be restricted, and thus it is converted into a linear movement of the screw along the axis.

[0052] Optionally, the first driving member includes at least one of a motor and a hydraulic motor, and the first transmission member includes at least one of a lead screw and a screw.

[0053] It should be noted that motor drive has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, and precise control, and is suitable for most conventional environments; while the hydraulic motor has greater driving force and better anti-overload ability, and is particularly suitable for applications that require large load adjustment or extreme working conditions. In practical applications, a speed reducer can also be connected to the output end of the motor to ensure that the motor speed is adapted to the speed of the height adjustment assembly 30. Among them, the servo motor has the advantages of high control precision, fast response speed, strong adaptability, and stable operation.

[0054] When the lead screw and the screw are used as the first transmission member, they both have the transmission characteristics of high precision and high rigidity. Their cooperation with the nut can achieve smooth and backlash-free linear motion, thereby ensuring the stability and precision of the box body 10 during the lifting and lowering process. In addition, the transmission efficiency of the lead screw and the screw is relatively high, which can effectively convert the rotational motion of the driving member into the linear lifting and lowering of the box body 10, reduce energy loss, and improve the overall performance. In practical applications, technicians can select the types of the first driving member and the first transmission member by themselves, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first driving member is a variable-speed motor, and the rotation speed of the variable-speed motor is variable.

[0056] It should be noted that when the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied outdoors, the unevenness of the outdoor ground varies, and the height differences between multiple automatic lifting mechanisms 31 are also different. By using a variable-speed motor, the lifting speed of the air conditioner box body 10 can be controlled to be variable-speed lifting, thereby accelerating the leveling speed of the air conditioner.

[0057] In practical applications, the introduction of a variable-speed motor enables the height adjustment assembly 30 to flexibly adjust the lifting speed according to actual needs. When the horizontal degree of the cabinet 10 is poor and it needs to be quickly adjusted to the horizontal state, the variable-speed motor can operate at an accelerated speed, quickly respond and drive the cabinet 10 to lift and lower at an accelerated speed; while when fine adjustment is required or violent vibration is to be avoided, the rotational speed can be reduced to achieve smooth and precise fine adjustment. This flexible speed regulation ability not only improves the adjustment accuracy but also speeds up the response speed, ensuring the rapid adaptation and stable operation of the air conditioner under different ground conditions.

[0058] Furthermore, the application of the variable-speed motor helps to optimize the power output of the entire height adjustment system. By precisely controlling the rotational speed of the motor, mechanical shocks and vibrations caused by rapid start-stop or sudden changes in rotational speed can be reduced, thereby reducing system wear and failure rates.

[0059] In addition, since the variable-speed motor can achieve fast and precise adjustment, when the user moves the air conditioner, there is no need to wait or adjust too much to ensure that the air conditioner is always in a horizontal state. This not only simplifies the operation process but also improves the user's usage efficiency and satisfaction. At the same time, the stable operating state and low noise level also provide a more comfortable usage environment for the user.

[0060] In one embodiment, the automatic lifting mechanism 31 further includes a support member, the support member is adapted to be placed on the ground, and the driving member is connected inside the support member.

[0061] Specifically, the support member serves as the foundation of the entire automatic lifting mechanism 31, providing a solid basic support for the automatic lifting mechanism 31, making the entire height adjustment assembly 30 more stable and reliable during operation. Placing the driving member inside the support member can effectively protect it from external environments such as dust, moisture, corrosion, etc. This enclosed design extends the service life of the driving member, reduces the failure rate caused by environmental factors, and at the same time reduces the maintenance cost and time. At the same time, the design of the support member can often be integrated into the overall appearance design of the air conditioner, making the entire device look cleaner and more beautiful. At the same time, since the driving member is hidden inside the support member, the possibility of direct contact between the user and the driving member is also reduced, thereby improving the usage safety.

[0062] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a controller, the controller is electrically connected to a plurality of weight sensors and the height adjustment assembly 30 respectively, and the controller is used to receive weight signals and control the telescoping of the height adjustment assembly 30 according to the weight signals.

[0063] Specifically, the controller is connected inside the cabinet 10 and further includes a control panel. A display and control buttons can be set on the control panel. The display can be used to display data related to the working state of the air conditioner, such as the water full warning signal of the water storage box 20, the prompt for drainage information, etc. The control buttons can be mechanical buttons and are used to control the opening, closing, leveling, etc. of the air conditioner cabinet 10. For example, as Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, three control buttons are provided on the cabinet 10, namely leveling, opening, and closing. Among them, the leveling button is used to control the height adjustment component 30 of the air conditioner to adjust the levelness of the cabinet 10, the opening button is used to adjust the levelness of the cabinet 10 and control the cover component 40 to open, and the closing button can be used to control the water storage box 20 of the air conditioner to drain water and close the cover component 40 to adjust the air conditioner to the storage state. In practical applications, technicians can design according to actual needs, and the present application does not make specific limitations in this regard. Further, an opening is provided on the air conditioner cabinet 10, and the control panel is exposed outside the cabinet 10 through this opening. It should be noted that the opening can be provided on any side of the cabinet 10, as long as it is convenient for users to operate the control panel, and the present application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller enables the entire horizontal adjustment process of the air conditioner to be automated and intelligent. The controller can quickly receive the weight signals from each weight sensor and make accurate judgments and decisions based on them, so as to control the telescopic movement of the height adjustment component 30. In the above process, no manual intervention is required, which greatly improves the response speed and accuracy of the system. The controller can perform comprehensive analysis based on the received weight signals and adopt a more scientific and reasonable adjustment strategy. For example, when it is detected that one side of the water storage box 20 is heavier, the controller can command the height adjustment component 30 to perform more telescopic movements on that side to more quickly achieve the horizontal adjustment of the cabinet 10. This targeted adjustment method not only improves the adjustment efficiency but also reduces unnecessary energy consumption.

[0065] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the controller can also be built-in with various protection mechanisms and fault diagnosis functions to continuously monitor the operating state of the system and promptly handle abnormal situations. Once any factors that may affect the stable operation of the system are detected, such as weight sensor failures, jams of the height adjustment component 30, etc., the controller can immediately take corresponding measures for protection or alarm prompts, thus avoiding problems such as damage to the air conditioner or leakage of condensed water caused by system failures.

[0066] It should be noted that since the controller can automatically complete the horizontal adjustment process and ensure the stable operation of the air conditioner, users no longer need to worry about problems such as leakage of condensed water or false alarms caused by uneven ground. This not only improves the performance and service life of the air conditioner but also brings a more convenient and comfortable user experience to users.

[0067] Optionally, the water storage box 20 includes a bottom plate and side plates connected to the bottom plate. A drain port is provided on the side plate, and a drain valve is provided at the drain port. The drain valve is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the opening or closing of the drain valve according to the weight signal.

[0068] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the drain port is provided on one of the side plates and is arranged close to the floor side, and the drain valve is set as an electromagnetic valve. In the embodiment of the present application, through the electrical connection between the controller and the drain valve, intelligent control of the condensate discharge in the water storage box 20 is achieved. When the weight sensor detects that the condensate in the water storage box 20 reaches the preset threshold and the box body 10 has been adjusted to a horizontal state to avoid external leakage, the controller can automatically open the drain valve to smoothly discharge the condensate without manual intervention, improving the convenience and efficiency of use. It should be noted that when the air conditioner is in an inclined state, even if the condensate in the water storage box 20 does not actually overflow, it may be mis-triggered by the water full alarm due to the inclination. By timely discharging the condensate, the false alarm situation caused by water full is avoided, ensuring the accurate feedback of the operation state of the air conditioner and enhancing the user experience.

[0069] In addition, long-term water accumulation may cause corrosion or damage to the water storage box 20 and its surrounding components, affecting the overall performance and lifespan of the air conditioner. By connecting the drain valve to the controller, it ensures the timely emptying of the condensate in the water storage box 20, effectively preventing potential damage caused by water accumulation and protecting the internal structure and components of the air conditioner. By precisely controlling the opening timing and drainage volume of the drain valve, unnecessary energy waste and water resource loss are also avoided. At the same time, timely emptying of the condensate also helps to reduce the energy consumption generated by water evaporation, reflecting the design concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0070] In one embodiment, the air conditioner further includes a cover plate assembly 40, a lifting plate 50, a driving assembly 60, a transmission assembly 70, and an air conditioner main unit 100. The box body 10 is provided with an upward opening, and the cover plate assembly 40 is connected to the box body 10 to block the opening. The lifting plate 50, the driving assembly 60, and the transmission assembly 70 are arranged inside the box body 10. The driving assembly 60 is connected to the box body 10 and is in transmission connection with the transmission assembly 70. The transmission assembly 70 is connected to the cover plate assembly 40 and the lifting plate 50. The driving assembly 60 is used to drive the transmission assembly 70 to move, so as to drive the cover plate assembly 40 to move to open or close the box body 10, and to drive the lifting plate 50 to lift. The air conditioner main unit 100 is arranged on the lifting plate 50 and is exposed outside the box body 10 or received in the box body 10 through the lifting of the lifting plate 50.

[0071] Specifically, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application has two states, namely, the storage state and the unfolded state. Among them, when the air conditioner main unit 100 is exposed outside the box body 10, the air conditioner is in the unfolded state. At this time, the driving component 60 drives the cover plate component 40 to open to both sides. At the same time, the lifting plate 50 rises, and the air conditioner main unit 100 arranged on the lifting plate 50 rises with the rise of the lifting plate 50, and the user can use the air conditioner for refrigeration. When the air conditioner main unit 100 is stored in the box body 10, the air conditioner is in the storage state. At this time, the driving component 60 drives the cover plate component 40 to close to the middle. At the same time, the lifting plate 50 descends, and the air conditioner main unit 100 arranged on the lifting plate 50 descends with the descent of the lifting plate 50. When the cover plate component 40 is in the closed state, the cover plate component 40 can also be used as a desktop, and the user can place items on the cover plate component 40. The design of the lifting plate 50 in the embodiment of the present application allows the air conditioner main unit 100 to be completely stored in the box body 10 when not in use, effectively saving the occupied space of the air conditioner, making the placement of the air conditioner more flexible and not restricted by space. At the same time, since the air conditioner main unit 100 can be stored in the box body 10 when not in use, the overall aesthetics and practicality of the air conditioner are enhanced. The combination of the driving component 60 and the transmission component 70 enables the user to simply operate the driving component 60 to drive the cover plate component 40 to open or close the opening of the box body 10, and at the same time realize the lifting of the lifting plate 50. This integrated design greatly simplifies the operation steps and improves the user experience.

[0072] In one embodiment, the cover plate component 40 includes two first cover plates 41 that are movably connected. The two first cover plates 41 approach each other in the first direction to close the box body 10, and the two first cover plates 41 move away from each other in the first direction to open the box body 10. The driving component 60 includes two gears that mesh with each other. The transmission component 70 includes two link assemblies. Among them, one link assembly is connected between one gear, one first cover plate 41, and the lifting plate 50. The rotation of the two gears drives the two link assemblies to move respectively, so as to drive the two first cover plates 41 to move away from or close to each other, and drive the lifting plate 50 to lift and lower.

[0073] Further, the link assembly includes a first cover plate moving rod 71, a first link 72, and a second link 73. In one link assembly, both ends of the first cover plate moving rod 71 are respectively connected to one gear and one first cover plate 41. Both ends of the first link 72 are respectively connected to one gear and the second link 73. The end of the second link 73 far from the first link 72 is connected to the lifting plate 50.

[0074] Specifically, in practical applications, when the air conditioner cabinet 10 needs to be opened to use the air conditioner main unit 100, the motor rotates in one direction, and the driving gear 61, the first connecting rod 72 connected to the driving gear 61, and the first cover moving rod 71 move together. The driven gear 62, the first connecting rod 72 connected to the driven gear 62, and the first cover moving rod 71 move together. Specifically, under the action of the driving gear 61 and the driven gear 62, the two first cover moving rods 71 rotate outward along the first direction respectively, and the two first covers 41 move away from each other along the first direction, thereby pushing the two first covers 41 open. At the same time, the first connecting rod 72 drives the second connecting rod 73 to move, and the second connecting rod 73 drives the lifting plate 50 to move, lifting the lifting plate 50 upward. Since the air conditioner main unit 100 is placed on the lifting plate 50, the air conditioner main unit 100 is lifted until the top surface of the lifting plate 50 is pushed flush with the first cover 41.

[0075] When the air conditioner main unit 100 needs to be stored in the cabinet 10, the motor rotates in the reverse direction. The movements of the first cover moving rod 71, the first connecting rod 72, and the second connecting rod 73 are opposite to the opening of the air conditioner cabinet 10. The first connecting rod 72 drives the second connecting rod 73 to move downward, and the lifting plate 50 descends. At the same time, it drives the two first cover moving rods 71 to rotate toward the middle of the cabinet 10 along the first direction, that is, the two first covers 41 approach each other to close the cabinet 10.

[0076] In practical applications, the number of turns of the motor rotation can be set according to actual needs. When the number of turns of the motor rotation reaches the preset value, the motor stops, and the cabinet 10 switches to the unfolded state or the stored state.

[0077] Furthermore, the connecting rod assembly further includes a second cover moving rod 74, and the cover assembly 40 further includes two second covers 42. The two ends of the second cover moving rod 74 are respectively connected to the second cover 42 and the gear. When the gear rotates, the second cover moving rod 74 rotates accordingly and drives the two second covers 42 to move away from each other. Among them, in the stored state, the second cover 42 is stacked with the first cover 41, and in the unfolded state, the second cover 42 is located outside the first cover 41 to increase the cover area and facilitate users to place items, utensils, etc.

[0078] Optionally, a control button is provided on the cabinet 10. The control button is electrically connected to the weight sensor and the height adjustment assembly 30 to control the opening and closing of the weight sensor and the height adjustment assembly 30.

[0079] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, three control buttons can be set, namely: a control horizontal adjustment button, a control open and drain button, and a control storage button.

[0080] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a moving component 80, which is connected to the bottom of the cabinet 10 and is used to drive the cabinet 10 to move.

[0081] Specifically, the moving component 80 includes a plurality of moving wheels 81, and the plurality of moving wheels 81 are arranged at intervals at the bottom of the cabinet 10.

[0082] Among them, the arrangement of the moving wheels 81 facilitates the user to move the air conditioner, improving the mobility and flexibility of the air conditioner. The spaced arrangement of the plurality of moving wheels 81 ensures the stability and balance of the air conditioner during movement, avoiding the risk of tilting or tipping due to uneven single-point force.

[0083] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a pull rod 90, and the pull rod 90 is connected to a side of the cabinet 10 away from the height adjustment component 30 along the height direction. In practical applications, the user can pull the air conditioner by holding the railing, and can achieve short-distance movement of the air conditioner without relying on additional handling tools or multi-person cooperation. This design not only simplifies the movement process, but also reduces the physical burden on the user, improving the convenience and efficiency of use.

[0084] The control methods for the level adjustment, opening, drainage, and storage of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below.

[0085] Refer to Figures 6 to 8 , which is the control logic diagram of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0086] Specifically, as Figure 6As shown, when the user turns on the horizontal control button, the weight sensors at the four corners of the bottom of the water storage box 20 of the box body sense the weight value Nx of the condensed water in the water storage box 20, and determine whether the weight value Nx is within the set range of N1 and N2. Here, N1 is a weight value greater than Nx, and N2 is a weight value less than Nx. When Nx > N1, it means that the weight of the condensed water Nx here is relatively large, and the box body 10 tilts towards this position. When Nx < N2, it means that the weight of the condensed water here is relatively small, and the box body 10 tilts towards other positions except this position. When Nx > N1 or Nx < N2, first perform a rough adjustment on the box body 10, that is, first adjust the weight value Nx detected by the weight sensor to N2 < Nx < N1 through the lifting of the screw. Specifically, when Nx > N1, the screw moves upward at a speed of V1; when Nx < N2, the screw moves downward at a speed of V1. When Nx satisfies N2 < Nx < N1, Nx is then compared with the set value N, where N is the weight value detected by the weight sensor when the box body 10 is preset to be horizontal. Similarly, when Nx > N, it means that there is more liquid here, that is, the position is lower, and the screw moves upward at a speed of V2; when Nx < N, it means that this position is higher, and the screw moves the lifting rod downward at a speed of V2. When the weight values Nx of the weight sensors at the four corners are equal to N, it means that the box body 10 is adjusted to be horizontal.

[0087] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, in the above process, the screw moves at a constant speed of V1 and V2. In other embodiments, the screw can also achieve the adjustment of the levelness of the box body 10 through variable-speed movement. Among them, when the box body 10 is roughly adjusted, the screw is set to accelerate and lift at a variable speed, which can achieve the rapid adjustment of the levelness of the box body 10 until N2 < Nx < N1 is satisfied, thus accelerating the adjustment speed.

[0088] As Figure 7 shown, when the user turns on the open button on the box body 10, the adjustment of the levelness of the box body 10 and the opening process of the cover plate assembly 40 of the box body 10 are carried out simultaneously, that is, it is judged whether the box body 10 is in a horizontal state. When the box body 10 is not horizontal, the box body 10 will be as shown in Figure 6The horizontal adjustment program shown adjusts the cabinet 10 to be horizontal, and at the same time starts to open the cabinet 10, that is, gives a signal for the motor to start rotating. The driving gear 61 rotates, and the driving gear 61 drives the driven gear 62 to move. The two connecting rod assemblies rotate respectively until the two cover plates move away from each other and open. At the same time, the first connecting rod 72 and the second connecting rod 73 drive the lifting rod to rise to be horizontal with the cover plate. Specifically, the number of turns a of the motor rotation can be preset. When the motor rotates a turns, the cabinet 10 switches to the open state, and the user can choose whether to turn on the air conditioner main unit 100 by himself. When the motor stops working and the cabinet 10 is adjusted to the horizontal state, the weight values Nx detected by the weight sensors at the four corners of the bottom of the water storage box 20 are equal. When the weight value Nx sensed by the weight sensor is greater than the set value G, it means that the water in the water receiving tray is full, and the air conditioner prompts the user that the water is full. At the same time, the screw near the drain port is lowered, and the screw away from the drain port is raised, so that the cabinet 10 is in an inclined state. The controller controls the drain valve to open for drainage. The drainage time can be set to b minutes. After b minutes, the screw near the drain port is raised, and the screw away from the drain port is lowered, and the cabinet 10 returns to the horizontal state. Among them, the drainage time b can be determined by itself according to the inclination angle of the cabinet 10 and the drainage speed, and try to ensure that all the condensed water is drained out.

[0089] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the screw near the drain port refers to the screw near the side plate of the cabinet 10 where the drain port is provided. Since the cabinet 10 is in the horizontal state before drainage, the screw near the drain port is lowered, and the screw away from the drain port is raised, which can make the cabinet 10 tilt towards the drain port.

[0090] As Figure 8 As shown, when the user needs to store the air conditioner, it is necessary to drain the condensed water in the water storage box 20. At this time, the close button on the cabinet 10 is opened, the screw near the drain port is lowered, and the screw away from the drain port is raised, so that the cabinet 10 tilts towards the drain port. The controller controls the drain valve to open for drainage. The drainage time can be set to b minutes. After b minutes, the screw near the drain port is raised, and the screw away from the drain port is lowered, and the cabinet 10 returns to the horizontal state. When the cabinet 10 is horizontal, the motor starts to work, the gears start to rotate, and at the same time drive the two first cover plate moving rods 71 to rotate towards the middle. The first connecting rod 72 drives the second connecting rod 73 to move, and the second connecting rod 73 drives the lifting plate 50 to descend. The inner plate drives the air conditioner to descend, and the desktop retracts. When the positive rotation number of the motor reaches a, the motor stops rotating, and the storage of the cabinet 10 is completed. Further, a control program can also be set in the controller so that when the user pulls the pull rod 90, the screws at the four corners are retracted to the limit position, and the cabinet 10 can move through the moving wheels 81, which is convenient for the user to move the air conditioner.

[0091] In summary, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application has at least the following advantages:

[0092] In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner includes a box body, a water storage box, a height adjustment component, and a plurality of weight sensors. The water storage box can be used to store the condensed water generated by the air conditioner. When there is condensed water in the water storage box, if the air conditioner is in an inclined state, the water storage box is also in an inclined state, and the condensed water in the water storage box is likely to leak out or send a false water full alarm signal. At this time, since the water volume at different positions in the water storage box is different, a plurality of weight sensors arranged at different positions at the bottom of the water storage box can sense the different weights of the condensed water at different positions and send weight signals to the height adjustment component. The height adjustment component automatically expands and contracts according to the weight signals at different positions. Since the height adjustment component is connected to the box body, during the expansion and contraction process of the height adjustment component, the box body rises and falls to different degrees to achieve the adjustment of the levelness. When the box body is adjusted to a horizontal state, the leakage of the condensed water in the water storage box or the false water full alarm can be avoided, the use performance of the air conditioner is ensured, and the risk of damage to the air conditioner is reduced at the same time.
