[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] To address the issue that the storage mechanism cannot adjust to the RV's driving or parking status, as well as the air conditioning's operating status, resulting in obstructed airflow and the air conditioning being affected by external vibrations, the following implementation method is proposed.

[0024] This embodiment uses a parking air conditioner as an example. The air conditioner stops operating when the RV is in motion and starts operating when the RV is parked. This utility model provides the following... Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated RV air conditioner includes an air conditioner body 1. A movable component 2 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the air conditioner body 1. A limiting component 3 is mounted on the movable component 2, and support crossbars 4 are evenly arranged between the limiting components 3. At least three support crossbars 4 are provided. Clothes and towels can be hung on the support crossbars 4 for drying. The air blown from the air conditioner body 1 can dry clothes and towels, accelerating the drying process. A rotating blade 5 is rotatably mounted on the middle support crossbar 4. Upright plates 7 are arranged on both sides of the air conditioner body 1, and a base plate 6 is arranged between the upright plates 7. The upright plates 7 and the base plate 6 form a storage space, in which the air conditioner body 1 is located. Both the upright plates 7 and the base plate 6 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall 8 of the RV.

[0025] When the rotating blade 5 rotates continuously and at a constant speed, it means that the RV is parked and the air conditioner 1 is blowing air normally. The rotating arm 301 needs to be rotated downwards and held in place to move the air conditioner 1 out of the space. The air conditioner 1 is moved out of the narrow space to ensure that the air output of the air conditioner 1 can circulate quickly. When the rotating blade 5 rotates at an irregular angle and frequency, it means that the RV is in motion. The vibration generated by the vehicle itself causes the rotating blade 5 to rotate at an angle. The air conditioner 1 needs to be damped. At this time, the small inflation device is controlled to input gas into the air bladder on the push block 303. The air bladder inflates and cushions the air conditioner 1 to prevent it from colliding with the push block 303 and causing damage.

[0026] By setting the limiting component 3, in conjunction with the moving component 2, the position of the air conditioner body 1 is adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the air conditioner out when in use and retracting it when not in use, ensuring the smooth flow of air output from the air conditioner body 1; by setting the rotating blade 5, the driving status of the RV and the operating status of the air conditioner are identified, thereby adjusting the function of the limiting component 3, thereby storing or protecting the air conditioner body 1, ensuring that the limiting component 3 can move according to the status of the air conditioner, and at the same time avoiding frequent collisions between the air conditioner and the limiting component 3, which could lead to damage.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting component 3 includes a rotating arm 301. Auxiliary rods 302 are evenly arranged on the side of the rotating arm 301 near the air conditioner body 1. A push block 303 is fixedly arranged on the auxiliary rod 302. An air inflatable bag (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the push block 303. The air inflatable bag is located on the side of the push block 303 that contacts the air conditioner body 1. A small inflation device is connected to the air inflatable bag. A rotating shaft 304 is fixedly arranged at one end of the rotating arm 301. A motor 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 304. The motor 305 is fixedly mounted on the moving component 2 through the mounting bracket 306.

[0028] When in use, after the air conditioner is turned on, the motor 305 rotates forward, the motor 305 drives the rotating shaft 304 to rotate, the rotating shaft 304 drives the rotating arm 301 to rotate downward, the rotating arm 301 drives the push block 303 to leave the air conditioner body 1, and the air conditioner body 1, with the support of the moving component 2, moves out of the accommodating space and continues to provide cold or warm air to the interior of the RV.

[0029] After the air conditioner is turned off, the motor 305 reverses and drives the rotating arm 301 to rotate upward through the rotating shaft 304. The rotating arm 301 drives the push block 303 to approach the air conditioner body 1 until it touches the air conditioner body 1 and pushes the air conditioner body 1 back into the storage space for storage.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the movable component 2 includes a movable frame 201, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the air conditioner body 1. A roller 202 is provided inside the movable frame 201, and the roller 202 has a groove in the radial direction. The movable component 2 also includes a fixed track 203, which has a protrusion. The groove and the protrusion are interlocked. A stop block 204 is fixedly mounted on the end of the fixed track 203 away from the air conditioner body 1. The stop block 204 is used to prevent the movable frame 201 from falling off the fixed track 203. A through hole 205 is fixedly mounted on the end of the fixed track 203 near the stop block 204. A rotating shaft 304 passes through the through hole 205. A mounting bracket 306 is fixedly mounted on the fixed track 203. A right-angle plate 206 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the fixed track 203. The right-angle plate 206 is fixed to the upright plate 7 by screws.

[0031] During use, as the rotating arm 301 rotates downward, the air conditioner body 1 moves out of the receiving space, and the roller 202 drives the moving frame 201 to move along the fixed track 203 until the moving frame 201 touches the stop block 204, and the air conditioner body 1 moves into place; as the rotating arm 301 rotates upward, the air conditioner body 1 retracts into the receiving space, and the roller 202 drives the moving frame 201 to move along the fixed track 203 until the moving frame 201 moves back to the initial position, and the air conditioner body 1 has entered the receiving space, completing the storage.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the current driving status of the RV and whether the air conditioner is on are determined by rotating blade 5. When rotating blade 5 rotates continuously and at a constant speed, it means that the RV is in a parked state and the air conditioner body 1 is blowing air normally. The rotating arm 301 needs to be rotated downwards and held in place to move the air conditioner body 1 out of the storage space. Specifically, the motor 305 rotates forward, the motor 305 drives the rotating shaft 304 to rotate, the rotating shaft 304 drives the rotating arm 301 to rotate downwards, the rotating arm 301 drives the push block 303 to leave the air conditioner body 1, and the roller 202 drives the moving frame 201 to move along the fixed track 203 until the moving frame 201 touches the stop block 204, the air conditioner body 1 moves into place, and continuously provides cold or warm air to the interior of the RV.

[0033] Secondly, when the rotating blade 5 suddenly decelerates and approaches a stop, it indicates that the air conditioner body 1 has stopped operating. The rotating arm 301 needs to be rotated upwards and held in place to retract the air conditioner body 1 into the storage space. Specifically, the motor 305 reverses and drives the rotating arm 301 to rotate upwards through the rotating shaft 304. The rotating arm 301 drives the push block 303 to approach the air conditioner body 1 until it touches the air conditioner body 1 and pushes the air conditioner body 1 back into the storage space. The roller 202 drives the moving frame 201 to move along the fixed track 203 until the moving frame 201 moves back to the initial position. The air conditioner body 1 has entered the storage space, and the storage is completed.

[0034] Then, when the rotating blade 5 rotates at an irregular angle and frequency, it means that the RV is in motion and the air conditioner is not running. The vibration generated by the vehicle itself causes the rotating blade 5 to rotate at an angle, and the air conditioner body 1 needs to be damped. At this time, control the small inflation device to input gas into the inflation bag on the push block 303. The inflation bag expands and buffers the air conditioner body 1.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
