Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a window sealing structure and an air conditioner component. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, air conditioner products equipped with flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor and outdoor units allow users to install the air conditioner themselves onto windows. However, the outdoor unit is installed on the outside of the window, and a portion of the flexible refrigerant pipe extends through the window to the outside along with the outdoor unit. This results in the window not being able to close completely. In other words, a certain ventilation opening must be left in the window to accommodate the flexible refrigerant pipe.
[0003] Currently, window coverings are typically provided to users as window sealing structures, with a pipe opening cut into the covering to allow flexible refrigerant pipes to pass through while the covering is used to block ventilation gaps. This pipe opening is often large and loosely constructed, allowing rainwater to easily seep into the room through the gap between the opening and the pipe, flowing onto the walls or floor and causing problems such as peeling walls, water accumulation on floors, and even bulging.

[0020] In one embodiment, the sealing gasket is bonded and fixed to the shielding plate.
[0021] In one embodiment, the sealing gasket and the baffle are integrally formed.
[0022] In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the shielding structure is disposed around the outer periphery of the through-hole. The shielding structure includes at least two flexible shielding plates. The edges of the shielding plates near the pipeline can be bent by the pipeline and form a sealing skirt, which abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the pipeline.

[0056] This utility model proposes a window sealing structure for use in windows. The window includes a window frame and a movably mounted window flap within the window frame. When opened, a ventilation opening is formed between the window flap and the window frame. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the window sealing structure 100 includes a sealing plate 110, which connects the window frame 301 and / or the window leaf 302 to block at least part of the ventilation opening 303. The sealing plate 110 is provided with a pipe opening 111 for the air conditioner pipe 400 to pass through, so as to allow the pipe 400 to pass from the indoor space to the outdoor space.
[0057] Specifically, after the air conditioner is installed, the window sash 302 can be closed to a minimum ventilation opening 303. Then, the window sealing structure 100 is installed on the window frame 301 and / or window sash 302, and the window sealing structure 100 is used to block the ventilation opening 303 on the window 300, thereby reducing the risk of rainwater or insects entering the indoor space through the ventilation opening 303. On the other hand, the air conditioner's pipes 400 can extend outdoors through the pipe opening 111 on the window sealing structure 100 to meet the air conditioner's installation requirements.
[0058] It should be noted that the pipe 400 includes, but is not limited to, refrigerant pipes, air inlet pipes, or air outlet pipes. For example, when the air conditioner is a portable air conditioner, its outdoor air outlet is connected to an air outlet pipe, which needs to extend outside the window to expel the air that has completed heat exchange with the outdoor heat exchanger. That is, the window sealing structure 100 of this utility model can be configured to allow the pipe 400 to pass through, depending on the specific needs of the air conditioner product. This application does not impose any specific limitations on this.
[0059] Taking an air conditioner with flexible refrigerant pipes as an example, before installing the outdoor unit, the window sash 302 is opened to its maximum ventilation opening 303, that is, the window 300 is opened to its maximum extent, to facilitate the movement of the outdoor unit from the indoor space to the outdoor space through the window 300 opening. After the outdoor unit is installed, the window sash 302 can be closed to its minimum ventilation opening 303, and then the window sealing structure 100 is installed on the window 300 to block the ventilation opening 303, while allowing the refrigerant pipes to pass through the window sealing structure 100 to the outdoor side, thus creating a refrigerant circuit between the indoor and outdoor units.
[0060] It should be noted that the window sealing structure 100 of this utility model can be applied to windows 300 of various opening forms, including but not limited to folding windows, sliding windows, folding windows or wing windows, etc. In this case, the rotation axis of the folding window leaf 302 can be horizontally extended and located on the upper or lower side of the window frame 301, or vertically extended and located on the left or right side of the window frame 301.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The window 300 in the figure is a folding window structure with the rotation axis of the window leaf 302 vertically located on the right side of the window frame 301. In one embodiment, the window sealing structure 100 can cover the three-sided opening formed after the folding window is opened. Specifically, the window leaf 302 is rotatably connected to the window frame 301, and the ventilation opening 303 includes two opposing second window openings 305 and a first window opening 304 connecting the two second window openings 305. The first window opening 304 is opposite to and far away from the rotation axis of the window leaf 302, and the window sealing structure 100 can cover the first window opening 304 and the second window opening 305.
[0062] It is understandable that in the case of sliding windows, since the single-sided opening formed after the window sash 302 is opened, and the ventilation opening 303 is regularly shaped, the sealing plate 110 of this application can also be set as a simple straight plate structure, which can effectively block the ventilation opening 303, while allowing the refrigerant pipe to extend from the indoor space to the outdoor space.
[0063] It is understood that the air conditioner of this utility model can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install themselves. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when users install the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit separately, without the need to install refrigerant pipes and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling users to install it themselves.
[0064] However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of this utility model can also be a common split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner, such as a window air conditioner integrated unit. In this case, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outside.
[0065] It is easy to understand that when the opening size of the through-hole 111 is larger than that of the pipe 400, the pipe 400 can easily pass through the through-hole 111. However, the excessively large opening size will cause a gap between the edge of the through-hole 111 and the outer circumference of the pipe 400. Outdoor rainwater can easily flow into the indoor space through this gap and flow onto the indoor walls or floor, causing problems such as peeling walls, water accumulation on the floor, or even bulging.
[0066] Secondly, this gap also becomes a channel connecting indoor and outdoor air, causing heat exchange between the two air sources and allowing outdoor noise to enter the room. In other words, this gap also reduces the heat insulation and noise reduction capabilities of the window sealing structure 100.
[0067] To resolve these technical issues, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the window sealing structure 100 further includes a shielding structure 200 connected to the sealing plate 110. The shielding structure 200 is used to shield the mating gap between the edge of the hole 111 and the pipe 400. Thus, by using the shielding structure 200 to shield and seal the mating gap, outdoor rainwater can be prevented from flowing into the indoor space, thereby avoiding problems caused by rainwater flowing onto the walls or floor. Secondly, the shielding structure 200 can also prevent indoor and outdoor air from exchanging heat through the mating gap, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner, and at the same time prevent outdoor noise from propagating into the room through the mating gap, thereby improving the heat insulation and noise reduction capabilities of the window sealing structure 100.
[0068] It should be noted that the position of the through-hole 111 on the sealing sheet 110 can be either fixed or movable. For example, in an embodiment where the sealing sheet 110 has a zipper 120 and the through-hole 111 is formed at a position separate from the zipper teeth 123, the position of the through-hole 111 on the sealing sheet 110 can be adjusted according to usage requirements, and the opening size of the through-hole 111 is also adjustable.
[0069] It is understood that in the embodiment where the opening size and relative position of the through-port 111 are adjustable, the outline boundary of the through-port 111 is a relative concept. It refers to the outline boundary of the through-port 111 in the state when the opening of the through-port 111 is basically equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 400, that is, when the opening of the through-port 111 is adjusted to the minimum as much as possible.
[0070] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the cover 110 includes two cover portions 113, one cover portion 113 is mounted on the window frame 301 of the window 300, and the other cover portion 113 is mounted on the window leaf 302 of the window 300. The two cover portions 113 are at least partially separable and form a movable slit 112 in the separation area. The movable slit 112 extends from one end of the cover 110 to the other end of the cover 110, and at least part of the movable slit 112 is configured to pass through the opening 111. Thus, when the window 300 sealing structure is applied to a folding window with three openings when opened, since the length of the movable seam 112 is close to or equal to the length of the sealing plate 110, the cover portion 113 installed on the window leaf 302 can rotate freely with the window leaf 302 after the movable seam 112 is fully opened, and the cover portion 113 installed on the window frame 301 remains on the window frame 301. This allows the movable seam 112 to open to a larger opening size with the window leaf 302, so that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can freely pass through the movable seam 112 for installation or removal without prior disassembly of the window 300 sealing structure. This improves the ease of use of the window 300 sealing structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the movable seam 112 may also be located only in the middle of the sealing plate 110, for example, its opening size may only correspond to the outer diameter of the fitting pipe 400.
[0071] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the sealing plate 110 further includes a zipper 120. One side of the zipper 120 has zipper teeth 123 located in one of the cover portions 113, and the other side has zipper teeth 123 located in the other cover portion 113. A movable seam 112 is formed between the two zipper teeth 123. That is, when the zipper 120 is fully opened, a movable seam 112 is formed extending from the first end to the second end of the sealing plate 110; when the zipper 120 is fully closed, the movable seam 112 is completely closed. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0072] Specifically, when the zipper head 121 moves and partially opens the zipper 120, the two zipper teeth 123 will partially separate, causing a partial split between the two shielding parts 113. This partial split creates a passageway 111 for the air conditioner's duct 400 to pass through. That is, the two shielding parts 113 are not completely separated at this point, but only partially disassembled, such as at the ends (corresponding to a single-headed zipper 120) or in the middle (corresponding to a double-headed zipper 120). This satisfies the need for the air conditioner's duct 400 to pass through while effectively concealing the ventilation opening 303.
[0073] Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing structure of the window 300 may also include two magnetic strips that can attract each other. One magnetic strip is provided on the cover portion 113 installed on the window leaf 302, and the other magnetic strip is provided on the cover portion 113 installed on the window frame 301. The movable seam 112 is formed between the two magnetic strips. Specifically, at least one of the two magnetic strips is a magnet such as neodymium iron boron, and the other can be a magnet or a magnetic material such as carbon steel.
[0074] In other embodiments, the zipper 120 or magnetic strip may not be provided. The cover portion 113 installed on the window sash 302 and the cover portion 113 installed on the window frame 301 are simply butted or overlapped. When the cover portion 113 installed on the window sash 302 rotates with the window sash 302, the cover portion 113 installed on the window sash 302 and the cover portion 113 installed on the window frame 301 naturally move away from each other and separate, thereby forming an openable slit 112.
[0075] Optionally, the zipper 120 extends through both ends of the cover 110, and the two cover portions 113 are detachably connected via the zipper 120. Specifically, when the zipper 120 is fully open, the two cover portions 113 are separated into two independent parts; when the zipper 120 is fully closed, the two cover portions 113 form a complete cover 110 to block the ventilation opening 303. It is understandable that when the user needs to open the window 302 to a larger angle, that is, when the horizontal width of the ventilation opening 303 needs to be increased, the cover 110, which is adapted to the original width of the ventilation opening 303, obviously cannot meet this requirement. In this embodiment, by setting the sealing plate 110 as two detachable covering parts 113, when the user has the aforementioned needs, the zipper 120 can be fully opened, allowing the sealing plate 110 to be directly split into two covering parts 113 on the window 300. The covering parts 113 on the window sash 302 will move with the opening action of the window sash 302, while the covering parts 113 on the window frame 301 will remain in their original positions. When the user needs to reuse the sealing plate 110 to cover the ventilation opening 303, they only need to reduce the width of the ventilation opening 303 so that the two zipper teeth 123 on the two covering parts 113 are close together, and then pull the zipper head 121 to close the zipper 120 again. In this way, the ease of use and flexibility of the window sealing structure 100 can be improved.
[0076] Of course, in other embodiments, the length of the zipper 120 may be shorter than the length of the sealing sheet 110, and the end of the zipper 120 may be spaced apart from the outer edge of the end of the sealing sheet 110, that is, the two sealing sheets 113 may be connected at the end.
[0077] Please see Figure 7 In one embodiment, the zipper 120 is configured as a double-opening zipper 120 with two zipper heads 121, and the through-hole 111 is formed at the interval between the two zipper heads 121. In this embodiment, the interval between the two zipper heads 121 corresponds to the partial split position of the two cover portions 113. Thus, by adjusting the relative position of the two zipper heads 121 on the zipper teeth 123, the relative position of the through-hole 111 on the window frame 301 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the through-hole 111 on the sealing plate 110 to adapt to different air conditioning equipment and different equipment installation scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the window sealing structure 100 and enhancing the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be a single zipper head 121, and the gap formed between the zipper head 121 and the clip provided at one end of the zipper teeth 123 can also allow the refrigerant pipe to pass through.
[0078] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the window sealing structure 100 is equipped with a zipper 120 and a shielding structure 200, the size and position of the movable seam 112 and the pipe opening 111 can be flexibly adjusted by the zipper 120. On this basis, the relatively independent shielding structure 200 can be flexibly adapted to shield the area where the pipe opening 111 is located, thereby improving the overall ease of use of the window sealing structure 100.
[0079] The sealing strip 110 can be made of various materials and structural forms. For example, in one embodiment, the sealing strip 110 is configured as a fabric, such as fiberglass cloth, cotton cloth, polyester cloth, nylon cloth, or silk. That is, the sealing strip 110 in this embodiment can be flexibly deformed, which not only facilitates the user's operation of sealing the ventilation opening 303, but also improves the sealing effect of the sealing strip 110. Secondly, the fabric sealing strip 110 has the advantages of being lightweight and easy to clean, which makes it easy for the user to disassemble and clean the sealing strip 110, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, the fabric sealing strip 110 facilitates the secure sewing of the zipper 120 onto it. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing strip 110 can also be configured as a rubber sheet, silicone sheet, or heat insulation foam, or it can be configured as a composite layer structure composed of heat insulation foam and fabric.
[0080] It is understood that there are various ways to install the shutter portion 113 to the window frame 301 and window sash 302. For example, in some embodiments, the side of the shutter portion 113 is detachably installed to the window frame 301 and window sash 302 by means of Velcro. This not only simplifies the structure and makes installation and removal convenient, but also extends the lifespan of the Velcro, allowing for easy replacement even if the old Velcro has poor adhesion. Of course, in other embodiments, the shutter portion 113 can also be installed on the window frame 301 and window sash 302 using other methods, such as adhesive or screw connection.
[0081] The shading structure 200 can take many forms; for example, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 8In the first embodiment, the outer periphery of the shielding structure 200 is arranged around the outer periphery of the through-hole 111. The shielding structure 200 includes a shielding plate 210 disposed outside the through-hole 111. The shielding plate 210 has a clearance hole 211 corresponding to the through-hole 111. The pipe 400 passes through the clearance hole 211, and the edge of the clearance hole 211 is sealed to the peripheral side of the pipe 400. The outer periphery of the shielding structure 200 is arranged around the outer periphery of the through-hole 111, meaning that when the shielding structure 200 is projected onto the plane containing the through-hole 111, the through-hole 111 is located within the projection area of the shielding structure 200. This prevents rainwater from flowing into the indoor space from the edge of the through-hole 111. Furthermore, the sealing fit between the edge of the clearance hole 211 and the pipe 400 prevents rainwater from flowing into the indoor space from the gap between the edge of the clearance hole 211 and the peripheral side of the pipe 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the clearance hole 211 may not be provided.
[0082] Optionally in this embodiment, the contour of the relief hole 211 is adapted to the peripheral surface of the pipe 400, so that the edge of the relief hole 211 directly abuts against the peripheral surface of the pipe 400 to achieve a sealing fit. Taking a flexible refrigerant pipe as an example, its outer peripheral surface is usually wrapped with a layer of elastic insulation cotton, and then a waterproof film or waterproof tape is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the elastic insulation cotton. That is, the pipe 400 contains elastically compressible insulation cotton. In this case, the edge of the relief hole 211 directly abuts against the pipe 400 with an interference fit, and a good sealing effect can be achieved by compressing the insulation cotton. Of course, in other embodiments, the inner surface of the relief hole 211 may be provided with an elastic gasket, which abuts against the peripheral surface of the pipe 400.
[0083] Please see Figure 8 In the first embodiment, optionally, the baffle 210 includes two joined baffle portions 212, with a clearance hole 211 formed at the joint of the two baffle portions 212. This facilitates the installation of the baffle 210 on the pipe 400, thereby achieving a better sealing fit between the baffle 210 and the pipe 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the baffle 210 may also be configured as an integrally formed ring plate.
[0084] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 In the first embodiment, optionally, the two baffle portions 212 are distributed along the extending direction of the through-hole 111. Thus, in embodiments where the size and position of the through-hole 111 are adjustable, it is advantageous for the user to extend their hand through the through-hole 111 to operate the splicing and installation of the two baffle portions 212. Of course, in other embodiments, the two baffle portions 212 may also be distributed along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the through-hole 111.
[0085] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the sealing strip 110 has a movable slit 112, the extension direction of the through-hole 111 refers to the extension direction of the movable slit 112 at the location of the through-hole 111. For example, when the through-hole 111 is located at the first window slit 304, the extension direction of the through-hole 111 is the up-down direction.
[0086] Please see Figure 8 In the first embodiment, optionally, the two baffle portions 212 are engaged with each other by a first engaging structure. Specifically, the first engaging structure includes a cooperating first latching protrusion 213 and a first latching hole 214, which are respectively disposed on the two baffle portions 212. The two baffle portions 212 are installed together by the engaging engagement of the first latching protrusion 213 and the first latching hole 214. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to install and operate. Of course, in other embodiments, the first engaging structure can also be a buckle, which passes through one of the two baffle portions 212 and is secured to the other.
[0087] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 In the first embodiment, optionally, a water-blocking flange 216 is provided on the upper and / or lower sides of the clearance hole 211, and the water-blocking flange 216 extends downward at an inward-outward direction. Thus, the water-blocking flange 216 acts as an eaves, allowing rainwater dripping or flowing onto the upper and lower sides of the clearance hole 211 to flow outward along the water-blocking flange 216, thereby reducing the risk of rainwater flowing into the room from the clearance hole 211 and the pipe opening 111. Of course, in other embodiments, the water-blocking flange 216 may not be provided.
[0088] It should be noted that the inside and outside directions refer to the direction facing the outdoor space when the window sealing structure 100 is correctly installed on the window 300, and the direction facing the indoor space is the inside.
[0089] In the first embodiment, optionally, an annular flange 217 protrudes outward from the periphery of the clearance hole 211, and the upper and lower sidewalls of the annular flange 217 are configured as water-blocking flanges 216. Thus, the annular flange 217 can both increase the local structural strength of the edge of the clearance hole 211 and simultaneously form the water-blocking flange 216, resulting in a simple and easy-to-implement structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the annular flange 217 may not be provided, or the annular flange 217 and the water-blocking flange 216 may be provided alternately.
[0090] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 10In the first embodiment, optionally, the shielding structure 200 further includes a mounting plate 220 disposed inside the through-hole 111. The mounting plate 220 is connected to the shielding plate 210, and the sealing strip 110 is sandwiched between the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210. That is, by clamping the sealing strip 110 together with the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210, the sealing fit between the shielding plate 210 and the sealing strip 110 can be improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting plate 220 may not be provided, and the shielding plate 210 may be fixed to the sealing strip 110 by means of adhesive, screw connection or riveting connection.
[0091] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 In the first embodiment, optionally, the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210 are engaged by a second snap-fit structure. Specifically, the second snap-fit structure includes a cooperating second snap protrusion 215 and a second snap hole 221, one of which is located on the mounting plate 220 and the other on the shielding plate 210. For example, in this embodiment, the second snap protrusion 215 is located on the shielding plate 210, and the second snap hole 221 is located on the mounting plate 220. The sealing plate 110 has an installation through hole corresponding to the second snap protrusion 215. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to install and operate. Of course, in other embodiments, the second snap-fit structure can also be a buckle, which passes through one of the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210 and is secured to the other.
[0092] Please see Figure 10 In the first embodiment, optionally, the mounting plate 220 has a clearance hole 222 corresponding to the clearance hole 211, and the pipe 400 passes through the clearance hole 222, with the periphery of the pipe opening 111 sandwiched between the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210. That is, in this embodiment, both the shielding plate 210 and the mounting plate 220 can form a ring structure. In this way, the outer periphery of the pipe opening 111 can be clamped by the shielding plate 210 and the mounting plate 220, thereby improving the sealing effect between the shielding plate 210 and the sealing plate 110, and thus preventing rainwater from flowing into the room from the gap between the shielding plate 210 and the sealing plate 110. Of course, in other embodiments, the clearance hole 222 may not be provided. For example, there may be two mounting plates 220, which are straight plates, and the two mounting plates 220 are respectively connected to two baffle portions 212.
[0093] Optionally, the mounting plate 220 includes two interlocking fixed plate portions 223, with a clearance hole 211 formed at the joint of the two fixed plate portions 223. This facilitates the installation of the mounting plate 220 onto the pipeline 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting plate 220 may also be configured as an integrally formed ring plate.
[0094] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10In the first embodiment, optionally, one of the shielding plate 210 and the mounting plate 220 is provided with a sealing protrusion 224, and the other is provided with a corresponding sealing groove 218. The sealing protrusion 224 is inserted into the sealing groove 218, and the sealing piece 110 is sandwiched between the sealing protrusion 224 and the sealing groove 218. For example, in this embodiment, the sealing protrusion 224 is provided on the mounting plate 220, and the sealing groove 218 is provided on the shielding plate 210. In this way, by the cooperation of the sealing protrusion 224 and the sealing groove 218, the sealing piece 110 can be clamped more tightly, thereby improving the sealing effect between the shielding plate 210 and the sealing piece 110. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing protrusion and the sealing groove may not be provided.
[0095] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 11 In the first embodiment, optionally, the shielding structure 200 further includes a sealing gasket 230, which is disposed on the side of the shielding plate 210 near the sealing sheet 110 and abuts against the sealing sheet 110. The sealing gasket 230 is made of rubber or silicone, etc. Thus, the sealing gasket 230 further enhances the sealing fit between the shielding plate 210 and the sealing sheet 110. It is worth mentioning that in embodiments where the shielding plate 210 has a sealing groove, the sealing gasket 230 is conformally disposed on the side of the shielding plate 210; that is, the area of the sealing gasket 230 corresponding to the sealing groove also has a groove-like structure.
[0096] Optionally, the sealing gasket 230 has multiple snap-fit protrusions 231, which snap onto the baffle plate 210; or, the sealing gasket 230 is bonded to the baffle plate 210; or, the sealing gasket 230 and the baffle plate 210 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the snap-fit protrusions 231 are mushroom-shaped. This facilitates the manufacturing and installation of the baffle structure 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing gasket 230 and the baffle plate 210 can also be integrally formed, for example, through a secondary injection molding process. Alternatively, the sealing gasket 230 can be bonded to the baffle plate 210.
[0097] It should be noted that in embodiments where the sealing plate 110 is equipped with a zipper 120 and the shielding structure 200 includes a shielding plate 210 and a mounting plate 220, the specific installation process of the shielding structure 200 can be as follows: the user first pulls the zipper 120 open to the maximum state of the movable gap 112 so that the window sash 302 can be opened to the maximum position. Then, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is moved to the outdoor mounting bracket through the movable gap 112, and the window sash 302 is closed until the zipper 120 can be closed. After the zipper 120 is closed to the position where the zipper head 121 is close to the pipe 400, the user holds the two baffle parts 212 through the movable gap 112 and extends them to the outdoor side. The operator operates from the outdoor side to snap the two baffle portions 212 together. At this time, the two baffle portions 212 clamp the pipe 400, and the second latching protrusion 215 extends into the indoor side through the mounting hole of the sealing plate 110. After retracting the operator from the outdoor side, the zipper 120 is further tightened so that the movable seam 112 is reduced to only the pipe opening 111. Then, the second latching holes 221 of the two fixing portions 223 are aligned with the second latching protrusion 215 so that the second latching protrusion 215 can be secured in the second latching holes 221, thereby realizing the installation of the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210, and clamping the sealing plate 110 between the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210. At this time, the zipper head 121 and the pull tab 122 can be located either between the mounting plate 220 and the shielding plate 210 or outside the mounting plate 220, adjacent to or abutting the edge of the mounting plate 220.
[0098] Of course, the occlusion structure 200 is not limited to the form shown in the first embodiment, but can also be in other forms. For example, please refer to... Figures 12 to 16In the second embodiment, the outer periphery of the shielding structure 200 is arranged around the outer periphery of the through-hole 111. The shielding structure 200 includes at least two flexible shielding pieces 240. Before the pipe 400 passes through the through-hole 111, the at least two shielding pieces 240 together cover the through-hole 111. When the pipe 400 passes through the through-hole 111, the edge of the shielding piece 240 near the pipe 400 is bent by the action of the pipe 400 and forms a sealing skirt 241, which abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 400. Specifically, because the shield 240 is flexible and can bend under external force, when the pipe 400 has not passed through the opening 111, the shield 240 in its natural state can cover the opening 111. When the pipe 400 passes through the opening 111, the pipe 400 will interfere with the edge of the shield 240, causing the shield 240 to bend. That is, the sealing skirt 241 is a structure in which the shield 240 bends due to interference with the pipe 400. Thus, since the outer periphery of the shielding structure 200 is arranged around the outer periphery of the opening 111, rainwater is blocked by the shield 240 before it reaches the opening of the zipper 120. Secondly, through the sealing fit between the sealing skirt 241 and the pipe 400, rainwater can be prevented from flowing into the room through the gap between the shield 240 and the pipe 400. The structure is simple and easy to operate and install.
[0099] Please see Figure 14 Optionally, in this embodiment, two shielding plates 240 are provided, distributed along the extension direction of the through-hole 111, and the outer contour of the shielding plates 240 is rectangular, with adjacent sides of the shielding plates 240 not overlapping. That is, the shielding structure 200 does not have a clearance hole 211, and the side of the shielding plate 240 near the pipe 400 is a straight edge. In this way, sufficient sealing mating area can be ensured between the sealing skirt 241 and the pipe 400, while also saving on the material cost of the shielding plates 240. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjacent sides of the shielding plates 240 may partially overlap, or the side of the shielding plate 240 near the pipe 400 may be a curved edge that adapts to the circumferential surface of the pipe 400.
[0100] The material of the shielding sheet 240 can be waterproof fabric, silicone or pearl cotton, etc. Its structure and material can be the same as or different from the sealing sheet 110. This application does not make specific limitations in this regard.
[0101] Please see Figure 14In the second embodiment, optionally, the sealing sheet 110 has a movable slit 112 extending from one end of the sealing sheet 110 to the other end, and at least a portion of the movable slit 112 is configured as a passageway 111; two shielding sheets 240 are provided, distributed along the extension direction of the passageway 111, and each shielding sheet 240 has two mounting edges 242 disposed on opposite sides of the movable slit 112, one mounting edge 242 being fixed to one side of the movable slit 112, and the other mounting edge 242 being detachably connected to the other side of the movable slit 112. That is, the shielding sheet 240 spans across both sides of the movable slit 112, and one mounting edge 242 of the shielding sheet 240 is detachably mounted to the sealing sheet 110. Thus, when one mounting edge 242 of the shield 240 is detached from the cover 110, the opening width of the movable slit 112 can be increased, allowing the window 302 to be opened to its maximum position. That is, the shield 240, as a relatively independent structure, does not affect the opening and adjustment of the movable slit 112. Furthermore, the other mounting edge 242 of the shield 240 is fixedly mounted on the cover 110, preventing the shield 240 from accidentally falling off or being lost. Of course, in other embodiments, both mounting edges 242 of the shield 240 can be detachably connected to the cover 110.
[0102] There are various ways to install the cover plate 240 and the cover plate 110. For example, in this embodiment, one mounting edge 242 of the cover plate 240 is sewn onto the cover plate 110, and the other mounting edge 242 is detachably installed onto the cover plate 110 via Velcro. Of course, in other embodiments, the detachable installation of the cover plate 240 and the cover plate 110 can also be achieved in other ways. For example, the cover plate 110 may be sewn with buttons, and the mounting edge 242 of the cover plate 240 may have corresponding buttonholes.
[0103] Please see Figure 14 and Figure 16 The shielding plate 240 is installed on the outer side of the sealing plate 110, and the sealing skirt 241 is located on the inner side of the sealing plate 110. The shielding structure 200 also includes a binding member 250, which is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the sealing skirt 241. Thus, the binding member 250 can tightly wrap the sealing skirt 241 around the peripheral surface of the pipe, thereby improving the sealing fit between the sealing skirt 241 and the pipe. Of course, in other embodiments, the binding member 250 may not be provided.
[0104] The binding element 250 is configured as a Velcro strap, with one end fixed to the inner side of one of the cover plates 240 and the other end capable of wrapping around the sealing skirt 241. In this way, the Velcro strap integrated into the cover plate 240 can achieve the binding effect on the sealing skirt 241, resulting in a simple and easy-to-operate structure, and preventing the binding element 250 from accidentally falling off or being lost. Of course, in other embodiments, the binding element 250 can also be in other forms, such as a wire rope, cloth strip, or plastic cable tie.
[0105] It should be noted that in embodiments where the sealing sheet 110 is equipped with a zipper 120 and the shielding structure 200 includes two flexible shielding sheets 240, the specific installation process of the shielding structure 200 can be as follows: the user first removes the mounting edge 242 of the shielding sheet 240 from the sealing sheet 110, and pulls the zipper 120 open to the maximum state of the movable gap 112 so that the window sash 302 can be opened to the maximum position. Then, after the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is moved to the outdoor mounting bracket through the movable gap 112, the window sash 302 is closed until the zipper 120 can be closed. In this state, after closing the zipper 120 to the position where the zipper head 121 is close to the pipe 400, the hand passes through the movable seam 112 and extends to the outdoor side. Then, the hand operates on the outdoor side to install the mounting edge 242 of the shield 240 onto the sealing strip 110, adjusting the sealing skirt 241 to the indoor side while retracting the hand to the indoor side; the zipper 120 is further tightened so that the movable seam 112 is only open to the pipe opening 111, and then the sealing skirt 241 is straightened and wrapped tightly around the circumference of the pipe with the binding 250. At this time, the zipper head 121 and the pull tab 122 can be located on the inner periphery of the outer boundary of the shield 240, on the outer periphery of the outer boundary of the shield 240, or across the outer boundary of the shield 240.
