[0045] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the mobile air conditioner of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a chassis 1, a support 2, a pump body 3 and a box body 4.

[0047] The chassis 1 can be square and can be arranged at the bottom of the mobile air conditioner. The chassis 1 can play the role of bottom support on the one hand, and can also store liquid on the other hand. When in use, liquids such as condensed water generated by the mobile air conditioner can be stored in the chassis 1.

[0048] The support member 2 is arranged above the chassis 1, and a liquid storage tank 21 is provided on the top of the support member 2. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the support member 2 can be a plate-like structure as a whole. The support member 2 can be installed above the chassis 1 by fasteners, etc. The material of the support member 2 can be plastic, etc. The top of the support member 2 can be formed with a liquid storage tank 21 by integral injection molding. When in use, the liquid storage tank 21 can also serve to store liquid.

[0049] The pump body 3 is used to pump the liquid in the chassis 1 into the liquid storage tank 21. For example, the pump body 3 can be a water pump, etc., and the pump body 3 can be installed in the housing of the mobile air conditioner. When in use, the pump body 3 can pump the liquid in the chassis 1 into the liquid storage tank 21, thereby achieving the transfer of the liquid in the chassis 1 and avoiding the situation where there is too much liquid such as condensed water in the chassis 1.

[0050] The box body 4 is arranged below the liquid storage tank 21 and is used to receive the liquid discharged from the liquid storage tank 21. Figure 1 As shown, the box body 4 can be a water tank, and the box body 4 can be installed directly below the liquid storage tank 21. The bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 21 can be provided with an overflow hole, so that the liquid transported to the liquid storage tank 21 can be directly discharged into the box body 4.

[0051] The mobile air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a box body 4 and can transport liquids such as condensed water in the chassis 1 to the box body 4 for storage through the pump body 3, thereby improving the overall storage capacity and meeting the customer's needs for long-term use in cooling, dehumidification and other modes.

[0052] In some embodiments, the box body 4 is provided with a guide structure 41, and the liquid storage tank 21 is provided with an overflow hole for liquid discharge. The guide structure 41 is provided below the overflow hole and is used to receive the liquid discharged through the overflow hole.

[0053] For example, Figure 2As shown, the guide structure 41 can be integrally formed within the housing 4 by injection molding. The bottom wall of the liquid reservoir 21 can be provided with an overflow hole. The guide structure 41 can be located directly below the overflow hole and can abut against the bottom wall of the liquid reservoir 21. During use, liquid flowing out of the liquid reservoir 21 can flow along the guide structure 41, thereby achieving the effects of guiding liquid and reducing noise, thereby improving the comfort of use of the mobile air conditioner.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the guide structure 41 includes a handle portion 411 and a guide rib 412. The handle portion 411 is provided with a side wall of the box body 4, and a groove 4111 is provided in the handle portion 411 that is connected to the outside of the box body 4. The groove 4111 is used for inserting a human hand.

[0055] For example, the handle portion 411 can be integrally formed on the inner wall of the box body 4 by injection molding. Specifically, a portion of the side wall of the box body 4 can protrude into the box body 4 and define a groove 4111 on the outer side of the box body 4, thereby facilitating the formation of the handle portion 411. During use, a hand can be inserted into the groove 4111, thereby facilitating installation and removal of the box body 4.

[0056] The guide rib 412 is provided on the handle portion 411 and is used to abut against the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 21. Figure 2 As shown, the guide rib 412 can be integrally formed on the top side of the handle portion 411, and the guide rib 412 can extend in the vertical direction. After assembly, the top side of the guide rib 412 can abut against the bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 21, so that the liquid discharged from the liquid storage tank 21 can flow along the guide rib 412 to the handle portion 411, and then flow from the handle portion 411 to the side wall of the box body 4, and finally flow to the bottom of the box body 4.

[0057] In some embodiments, the mobile air conditioner includes a pipeline 5, a pump body 3 connected to the pipeline 5 and arranged on the support 2, and a box body 4 is arranged on the outside of the support 2, and the pipeline 5 and the pump body 3 are arranged on the inside of the support 2.

[0058] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the pipe 5 can be a metal pipe, a plastic pipe, etc., and can be installed in the housing of the mobile air conditioner. The pipe 5 can generally extend in the vertical direction, and the top end of the pipe 5 can pass through the side wall of the liquid storage tank 21 and extend into the liquid storage tank 21. The bottom end of the pipe 5 can be directly inserted into the chassis 1, and the pump body 3 can be directly installed on the pipe 5. During use, the pipe 5 and the pump body 3 meet the need to transport the liquid in the chassis 1 to the liquid storage tank 21.

[0059] It should be noted that the support member 2 can be installed on the right side of the bottom of the mobile air conditioner. The inner side of the support member 2 can be the left side, and the outer side of the support member 2 can be the right side. The pipeline 5 and the pump body 3 can be installed on the left side of the support member 2, while the box body 4 can be installed on the right side of the support member 2. Figure 3 shown.

[0060] Thus, the support member 2 is used to separate the box body 4 and the pump body 3, thereby preventing the box body 4 from easily touching the pump body 3, pipeline 5, etc. during installation and disassembly, avoiding interference, and ensuring the structural stability of the structural components.

[0061] Secondly, by arranging the pump body 3 and the pipeline 5 on the inner side of the support 2, when the box body 4 is disassembled, the support 2 can also play a shielding effect, thereby avoiding direct exposure to the outside, improving the overall appearance, and enhancing the protection effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, one end of the pipe 5 extends into the chassis 1, and the other end of the pipe 5 passes through the wall of the liquid reservoir 21 and extends into the liquid reservoir 21. For example, the side wall of the liquid reservoir 21 can be provided with a perforation, and the top end of the pipe 5 can pass through the perforation and extend into the liquid reservoir 21, thereby facilitating the assembly of the pipe 5.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mobile air conditioner includes a sensor 6, which is arranged on the chassis 1 and is used to monitor the liquid level height of the liquid in the chassis 1, and the pump body 3 is used to operate and pump the liquid into the liquid storage tank 21 when the liquid level height monitored by the sensor 6 exceeds a first threshold.

[0064] For example, the sensor 6 may be a water level switch, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sensor 6 can be directly installed in the chassis 1. When the liquid level in the chassis 1 rises to the warning water level (which can be regarded as the height of the first threshold), the controller can drive the pump body 3 to operate, so that the liquid in the chassis 1 can be pumped into the liquid storage tank 21 in a timely manner, and then discharged into the box body 4 through the liquid storage tank 21, thereby avoiding the situation of excessive liquid in the chassis 1 and overflow, and extending the continuous operation time of the whole machine.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mobile air conditioner includes an alarm device configured to sound an alarm when the liquid level in the tank 4 exceeds a second threshold. For example, the alarm device may include a water level detection module and an alarm. The water level detection module may be disposed in the tank 4. When the liquid level in the tank 4 reaches a warning level (which may be considered the second threshold), the water level detection module may send a signal to a controller, etc. Upon receiving the corresponding signal, the controller may control the alarm to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the user to promptly disassemble the tank 4 and clean the liquid in the tank 4.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the side wall on the right side of the box body 4 can be provided with an assembly groove, the above-mentioned box body 4 can be embedded in the assembly groove, and the outer wall surface of the box body 4 can be roughly in the same plane as the outer wall surface of the shell of the mobile air conditioner, thereby ensuring the consistency of the appearance.

[0067] In some embodiments, the alarm device includes a float and a relay. The float is disposed in the tank 4 and connected to the relay. The float floats with the liquid in the tank 4 and is used to trigger the relay when the liquid level in the tank 4 exceeds a second threshold.

[0068] For example, the float can be a structural member such as a float ball, which can float on the liquid and move up and down as the liquid level in the tank 4 changes. The float can be connected to the relay via some mechanical structure. When the liquid in the tank 4 reaches a second threshold, the float rises to the corresponding height. This position change of the float triggers the relay, thereby activating an alarm, etc.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the mobile air conditioner includes an upper air duct assembly 7, an evaporator 8 and a lower air duct assembly 9. The upper air duct assembly 7 and the evaporator 8 can be arranged side by side in a horizontal direction. The lower air duct assembly 9 is arranged below the upper air duct assembly 7 and the evaporator 8.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, the down duct assembly 9 includes a water receiving pan 92, which can be located below the down duct assembly 9. The water receiving pan 92 is used to receive liquid generated by the up duct assembly 7, evaporator 8, and down duct assembly 9. The liquid storage tank 21 is located below the water receiving pan 92 and is used to receive liquid discharged from the water receiving pan 92. In this way, condensed water generated by the up duct assembly 7, evaporator 8, and down duct assembly 9 can be collected in the water receiving pan 92 and then transported to the liquid storage tank 21 via the water receiving pan 92, thereby facilitating the collection and drainage of condensed water.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the mobile air conditioner includes a condenser 10 and a water pumping assembly 11. The condenser 10 is disposed between the down duct assembly 9 and the chassis 1 and can direct liquid discharged from the water receiving tray 92 to the chassis 1. The water receiving tray 92 of the down duct assembly 9 can be provided with a plurality of drainage holes 91, which can be located directly above the condenser 10. During use, liquid flowing from the water receiving tray 92 can drip directly onto the condenser 10, thereby cooling the condenser 10 and improving energy efficiency.

[0072] The water pumping assembly 11 is provided in the chassis 1 and is used to spray the liquid in the chassis 1 to the condenser 10. For example, Figure 7 As shown, the water-pumping component 11 may include an impeller, etc. The impeller may be located in the chassis 1. When in use, the rotating impeller may splash the liquid in the chassis 1 onto the condenser 10, thereby, on the one hand, cooling the condenser 10 and improving energy efficiency; on the other hand, it may also consume condensed water, slowing down the storage speed of condensed water on the chassis 1, which is beneficial to further extend the user's operating time in cooling, dehumidification and other modes.

[0073] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments made by ordinary technicians in this field are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
