Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to a sealing component and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, portable air conditioners, as a type of portable device, typically integrate components such as the compressor, evaporator, condenser, and fan into a single housing. Since the heat generated by the condenser needs to be dissipated outdoors, an external exhaust duct is required, which usually connects to the outside through a window. However, directly opening the window would allow hot outdoor air to enter the room; therefore, a sealing plate is installed on the window to seal any gaps when the window is open. There are usually two sealing plates: a first sealing plate and a second sealing plate. The first sealing plate has a mounting position for connecting to the exhaust duct, and this mounting position has an exhaust port communicating with the inner cavity of the exhaust duct. The second sealing plate connects to the first sealing plate to adjust the required length for sealing the window. Traditionally, the two sealing plates are connected using a pin, which makes aligning the pin and the mounting hole difficult and the connection complex. Utility Model Content

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first sealing plate and the locking member are integrally formed, and the locking member is configured to have an elastic restoring force to cause the locking pin to engage in the locking groove.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, along the first direction, the maximum width of the second button is greater than the maximum width of the connecting arm, and a stop portion is formed on the side of the first receiving groove facing the second receiving groove. When the locking pin is in the state of being disengaged from the locking groove, the second button can abut against the stop portion.
[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting part includes a surrounding plate connected to the first plate body, and a flange connected to the surrounding plate away from the first plate body.

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" refers to two or more. The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or their sequential relationship.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0027] To address the technical problems of complex and inefficient connection between the first and second sealing plates, this utility model provides a sealing assembly. Through the snap-fit design of the locking member, the first and second sealing plates can be easily installed, improving assembly efficiency. The sealing assembly of this utility model embodiment is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,and Figure 3As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the sealing assembly 1000 includes a first sealing plate 100, a second sealing plate 200, a mounting position 140, and a locking member 300. The first sealing plate 100 includes a first plate body 110 and a first limiting portion 120, with the first plate body 110 extending along a first direction. The first limiting portion 120 is provided on both sides of the first plate body 110 along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, the first limiting portion 120 has a guide groove 125, which extends along a first direction. For example, the first direction is... Figure 1 The vertical direction shown, the second direction is Figure 1 The first direction is left-right. Of course, depending on the placement of the sealing component 1000, the first direction can also be left-right, while the second direction is up-down. For ease of explanation, the following explanations will use the first direction as up-down and the second direction as left-right.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 As shown, one end of the second sealing plate 200 is located inside the first sealing plate 100, and the second sealing plate 200 abuts against the first limiting part 120. For example, the second sealing plate 200 is inserted into the guide groove 125 formed by the first limiting part 120, so that under the restriction of the first limiting part 120, the second sealing plate 200 can slide and adjust its relative position to the first sealing plate 100 in the vertical direction. This can adapt to different window heights or lengths, thereby effectively sealing window gaps and reducing the heat exchange between indoor and outdoor air through window gaps. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, the second sealing plate 200 has multiple slots 230 on the side facing the first sealing plate 100, and the slots 230 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. For example, the slots 230 can be provided on the first sealing plate 100, on the first limiting part 120, or at the connection between the first sealing plate 100 and the first limiting part 120. The mounting position 140 can be provided on the first sealing plate 100 or on the second sealing plate 200, depending on the actual situation. Taking the mounting position 140 being provided on the first sealing plate 100 as an example, the mounting position 140 has a vent 150. The mounting position 140 is used to connect with the air duct of the air conditioner, and the vent 150 is connected to the inner cavity of the air duct, which facilitates the exhaust of air to the outside through the air duct and the vent 150.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, at least one locking member 300 is provided and connected to the first sealing plate 100. For example, four locking members 300 are provided, with two locking members 300 connected to the right side of the first sealing plate 100 and spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the other two locking members 300 connected to the left side of the first sealing plate 100 and spaced apart in the vertical direction. (Refer to...) Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, for example, the locking member 300 includes a locking post 320, which is configured to be driven to engage the locking post 320 into one of the slots 230, thereby limiting the relative position of the second sealing plate 200 and the first sealing plate 100; or the locking member 300 can also be driven to disengage the locking post 320 from the slot 230, thereby facilitating the separation of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, or facilitating the adjustment of the relative position between the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200.
[0031] Using the above solution, when it is necessary to fix the relative position of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, at least part of the locking member 300 can be inserted into one of the slots 230. When it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, external force is used to separate the locking member 300 from the slot 230. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the locking member 300 is then inserted into one of the slots 230. Since the locking member 300 is connected to the first sealing plate 100, it will not separate from the first sealing plate 100 during the adjustment process. Therefore, it is not necessary to align the mounting holes like fasteners such as pins or screws, reducing the time spent searching for fasteners, simplifying the installation of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, and improving assembly efficiency.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the locking member 300 includes a locking post 320 and a first button 310 for moving the locking post 320. For example, the first button 310 can be directly connected to the locking post 320 or indirectly connected. The first sealing plate 100 also includes a support 130, and the first button 310 is slidably mounted on the support 130. The first button 310 is configured to slide in a second direction to allow the locking post 320 to engage with or disengage from the locking groove 230. The first button 310 refers to the operating component for driving the movement of the locking post 320. It can be implemented using a bump structure with anti-slip texture 311 and indicator mark 312. The anti-slip texture 311 refers to the concave and convex patterns distributed on the surface of the first button 310, which can be formed by mold pressing to increase surface friction and prevent slippage during operation. The indicator mark 312 refers to a directional arrow or locking symbol printed or engraved on the button surface, which can be a raised or recessed mark to visually indicate the operating direction or current locking status of the button. The sliding direction of the first button 310 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second sealing plate 200. The support 130 refers to the guide structure fixed to the first sealing plate 100, which can be implemented, for example, as a square frame with side plates 134 and a top plate 133. The top plate 133 provides rigid support for the first button 310 and defines the sliding trajectory, ensuring that the second button 370 moves in the left and right direction and preventing deflection.
[0033] When the position of the second sealing plate 200 needs to be adjusted, push the first button 310 in a direction away from the first limit 131 so that it slides within the range limited by the support 130. The sliding of the first button 310 directly drives the locking post 320 to move laterally and disengage from the slot 230. At this time, the second sealing plate 200 can freely slide and adjust its position in the up and down direction. After the adjustment is completed, slide the first button 310 in the opposite direction so that the locking post 320 re-engages into the corresponding slot 230 to complete the locking. The operation direction of this embodiment is perpendicular to the movement direction of the sealing plate, and unlocking or locking can be achieved by pushing the button in only one direction. The support 130 structure replaces the traditional unguided pin hole, and eliminates the risk of the first button 310 offset through mechanical limiting, thereby solving the problem of complex pin connection operation. The position adjustment of the second sealing plate 200 can also be completed by one hand. The guide structure of the support 130 avoids offset and jamming during the sliding of the button, ensuring the precise alignment of the locking post 320 and the slot 230, and reducing the difficulty of installation and adjustment.
[0034] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the inner side of the first button 310 is provided with a buckle 330, and the support 130 is provided with a first limit 131 and a second limit 132 spaced apart in the left and right directions. (Refer to...) Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, when the latch 330 is engaged with the second limit 132, the locking post 320 is in a state of being disengaged from the locking slot 230. (Refer to...) Figure 14 As shown, when the latch 330 engages with the first limit 131, the locking post 320 is in the state of being engaged with the slot 230. The latch 330 refers to a protruding structure located inside the first button 310, such as an elastic hook, used to mechanically engage with the first limit 131 or the second limit 132 of the support 130. The first limit 131 and the second limit 132 refer to limiting protrusions or grooves 334 spaced apart in the left-right direction, with the spacing corresponding to the sliding stroke of the button. The latch 330's engagement with different limits enables switching between locked and unlocked states. The support 130, as a supporting structure, can be a metal bracket or an injection-molded part, used to guide the sliding trajectory of the first button 310 and provide limiting support.
[0035] During the factory manufacturing stage of the sealing assembly 1000, the default engagement position of the locking member 300 is that the buckle 330 and the second limit 132 are engaged. At this time, the locking post 320 is located outside the slot 230, so it will not hinder the movement of the second sealing plate 200 relative to the first sealing plate 100. It also eliminates the need for the user to find and assemble the locking member 300, improving the user experience. When assembling the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, after determining the relative positions of the second sealing plate 200 and the first sealing plate 100, the user pushes the locking member 300 towards the first limit 131. The first button 310 then causes the buckle 330 to contact the first limit 131 to form an engagement. At this time, the locking post 320 is embedded in the slot 230 to lock the second sealing plate 200, thus making it convenient and quick to determine the relative positions of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200. When the latch 330 engages with the first limit 131 or the second limit 132, it ensures a stable locking state and effectively prevents accidental disengagement due to vibration of the sealing assembly 1000 or external interference. When it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, the locking member 300 is pushed in the opposite direction to engage the latch 330 and the second limit 132.
[0036] This solution utilizes the mechanical cooperation of the latch 330 and the double limiters to create a tactile sliding operation with a distinct sense of touch, allowing users to perceive changes in the locking state without visual assistance. The engagement of the latch 330 with the limit structure effectively resists accidental unlocking caused by external forces. The cooperation mechanism between the latch 330 and the first limiter 131 and the second limiter 132 provides clear mechanical feedback on the locking state, allowing users to lock or unlock simply by sliding left or right, making operation simple and convenient.
[0037] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the support 130 protrudes outward toward the outer side of the first plate 110, and the inner side of the first button 310 is provided with a limiting groove 313. The outer periphery of the support 130 is limited and engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove 313. For example, the structure of the support 130 protruding outward from the first plate 110 is square-shaped, and the limiting groove 313 is square and adapted to the structure of the support 130. Therefore, the limiting groove 313 and the support 130 are engaged and have a guiding effect on the movement of the locking member 300, preventing the locking member 300 from deflecting, misaligning or dislodging during movement, so that the locking member 300 can slide in the left and right directions to switch between the locked and unlocked states.
[0038] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the support 130 includes a top plate 133 and side plates 134 connected to both sides of the top plate 133 in the left-right direction. The top plate 133 is provided with a through hole 135, and the two side plates 134 are respectively provided with a first limit 131 and a second limit 132, that is, each side plate 134 is provided with a first limit 131 and a second limit 132, so there are two first limit 131s and two second limit 132s. The two first limit 131s are located on both sides of the through hole 135 in the left-right direction and are arranged opposite to each other. The two second limit 132s are located on both sides of the through hole 135 in the left-right direction and are arranged opposite to each other. The opposite side of the two first limit 131s is constructed as an arc shape, and the opposite side of the two second limit 132s is also constructed as an arc shape, which is conducive to the snap-fit of the buckle 330. The first button 310 is provided with two buckles 330, which are set opposite to each other in the left and right direction. The two buckles 330 are inserted into the through hole 135 and cooperate with the corresponding first limit 131 or second limit 132.
[0039] The top plate 133 refers to the square frame structure covering the side plate 134, which can be made of metal stamping or injection molding. The top plate 133 provides a supporting plane and sliding guide for the locking member 300. The side plate 134 is a structure connected to the rear end of the top plate 133, used to set the first limit 131 and the second limit 132. The through hole 135 refers to a hole that penetrates the thickness of the top plate 133, which can be a rectangular hole or an irregular hole, used to allow the buckle 330 to pass through the top plate 133 and cooperate with the limit structure on the side plate 134. The first limit 131 and the second limit 132 refer to the protrusions or grooves 334 provided on the side plate 134, which can be injection-molded hooks or stamped protrusions, used to position the buckle 330 in the locked and unlocked states, respectively. The two latches 330 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction, which means that the latches 330 are respectively arranged in the extension direction of the two side plates 134. Specifically, this can be achieved by symmetrically distributed elastic arms, which are used to balance the force during operation and prevent unilateral tilting.
[0040] When the first button 310 is pushed, the two latches 330 move synchronously in the left-right direction, engaging with the first limit 131 or the second limit 132 on the side plates 134 respectively. For example, in the locked state, the latch 330 contacts the first limit 131 near the edge of the through hole 135, preventing the button from sliding further. In the unlocked state, the latch 330 slides to the second limit 132, at which point the latch 320 completely disengages from the slot 230. The limit boundaries on the side plates 134 ensure that the latches 330 can only move within a preset range through physical blocking, avoiding excessive displacement that could lead to functional failure. This solution, through the integrated design of the top plate 133 and the side plates 134, and the symmetrically distributed latches 330, allows the locking component 300 to be positioned simply by inserting the latches 330 into the through hole 135 during installation, significantly reducing assembly complexity. The symmetrically arranged latches 330 and through holes 135 eliminate the risk of misalignment caused by unilateral force, ensuring precise engagement between the latches 330 and the limit switch. Users can clearly perceive the switching between locked and unlocked states through touch, improving reliability.
[0041] Reference Figure 15 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the top plate 133 forms a third limiting 136 on the two opposite sidewalls of the through hole 135 in the vertical direction, and the two buckles 330 are respectively provided with a sliding groove 331 for cooperating with the corresponding third limiting 136. For example, the sliding groove 331 is a groove-shaped structure formed between the inner sidewall of the first button 310 and the buckle 330. When the first button 310 is slid in the left-right direction under external force, the inner wall of the sliding groove 331 of the buckle 330 maintains surface contact with the surface of the third limiting 136. The sliding trajectory of the sliding groove 331 along the third limiting 136 is restricted to linear movement, thereby preventing the buckle 330 from deviating significantly in the vertical direction. This solution realizes the bidirectional guiding function of the locking member 300 during the sliding process, ensuring that the buckle 330 always moves along the predetermined trajectory, avoiding the problem of misalignment between the locking post 320 and the locking groove 230 due to deviation.
[0042] Reference Figure 11 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a fourth limit 137 is provided on the side of the through hole 135 facing the first limiting part 120. The fourth limit 137 is used to restrict the buckle 330 from disengaging from the through hole 135. Since the top plate 133 can be a square frame structure, the fourth limit 137 can be a frame strip on one side of the top plate 133. When the first button 310 slides in the left-right direction, the buckle 330 will be laterally blocked by the structure of the fourth limit 137 during its movement inside the through hole 135. Since the fourth limit 137 is formed at the edge of the through hole 135 near the first limiting part 120, when the buckle 330 slides outward to its limit position, the end of the buckle 330 will contact the vertical surface of the fourth limit 137, thereby being restricted within the range of motion defined by the through hole 135, so as to reduce the risk of the buckle 330 accidentally disengaging.
[0043] Reference Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the buckle 330 includes a connecting part 332 and two fastening parts 333. The connecting part 332 extends in the left-right direction, and the two fastening parts 333 are connected to the side of the connecting part 332 away from the other buckle 330. The two fastening parts 333 are arranged at intervals in the second direction. A groove 334 is formed between the two fastening parts 333 to match the positioning of the first limit 131 or the second limit 132. Chamfers 335 are provided on the two sides of the fastening parts 333 away from the connecting part 332. The chamfers 335 facilitate the first limit 131 and the second limit 132 to engage with or disengage from the groove 334. By adopting the above scheme, two engaging portions 333 are provided, and a groove 334 is formed between the two engaging portions 333. Therefore, the first limiting 131 and the second limiting 132 are constructed in the form of protruding posts, so that the protruding posts can engage with the groove 334, thereby fixing the relative position of the locking member 300 and the first sealing plate 100. Since the engaging portions 333 have chamfers 335 on the side away from the connecting portion 332, and the chamfers 335 can be flat or rounded, the buckle 330 can pass smoothly through the through hole 135 during the installation of the bracket 130, improving the installation efficiency.
[0044] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the first limiting part 120 is provided with a positioning groove 121, and the locking member 300 also includes a positioning plate 350, which can be made of metal or plastic. The positioning plate 350 is connected to the first button 310, and the connection method can be integral injection molding or bonding. The locking post 320 is provided on the inner side of the positioning plate 350, for example, the locking post 320 and the positioning plate 350 are integrally injection molded. The positioning plate 350 is configured to engage with the positioning groove 121 when the locking post 320 is engaged in the locking groove 230. The positioning groove 121 refers to a groove-like structure or hole-like structure formed on the outer side of the first limiting part 120, which is used to form a mechanical engagement with the positioning plate 350, thereby limiting the lateral displacement of the locking member 300 and improving the positioning accuracy of the locking member 300 through double constraint.
[0045] When the user pushes the first button 310 to insert the locking pin 320 into the slot 230 of the second sealing plate 200, the positioning plate 350 simultaneously inserts into the positioning slot 121 of the first limiting part 120. The two form a vertical limiting fit to prevent the locking member 300 from shifting under vibration or external force. The vertical engagement between the positioning plate 350 and the positioning slot 121 further restricts the degree of freedom of movement of the locking member 300, making the engagement state between the locking pin 320 and the slot 230 more stable.
[0046] Reference Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the first plate 110 is provided with a first receiving groove 111, and the first limiting part 120 is provided with a second receiving groove 122 communicating with the first receiving groove 111. The locking member 300 includes a locking post 320, a connecting arm 360, and a second button 370. One end of the connecting arm 360 is fixedly connected to the first limiting part 120 and received in the second receiving groove 122, and the other end is connected to the second button 370. The locking post 320 is located inside the connecting arm 360, and the second button 370 is received in the first receiving groove 111. The second button 370 is configured to be driven to move within the first receiving groove 111 to disengage the locking post 320 from the slot 230. The first sealing plate 100 and the locking member 300 are integrally formed parts, and the locking member 300 is configured to have an elastic restoring force to engage the locking post 320 in the slot 230. The first receiving groove 111 refers to a hole-like structure provided on the first plate 110, which can limit the range of motion of the second button 370. The depth and width of the second receiving groove 122 match the size of the connecting arm 360, providing installation space for the connecting arm 360 and constraining the direction of movement of the connecting arm 360 through the side wall, ensuring the stability of force transmission. At the same time, the locking member 300 is located in the first receiving groove 111 and the second receiving groove 122, which can reduce the protrusion on the outer surface of the first sealing plate 100, making the overall appearance of the first sealing plate 100 more aesthetically pleasing and uniform.
[0047] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the second sealing plate 200, refer to Figure 20 As shown, the user applies a pushing force to the second button 370 in a direction away from the first plate 110, for example, the direction of the force is... Figure 20 The arrow on the second button 370 points in the direction of the first receiving groove 111, causing the second button 370 to slide away from the first plate 110 within the first receiving groove 111. This causes the connecting arm 360 to elastically deform around its fixed end, disengaging the locking pin 320 on the inner side of the connecting arm 360 from the locking groove 230 of the second sealing plate 200. At this time, the second sealing plate 200 can slide freely up and down to the target position. After releasing the second button 370, the connecting arm 360 returns to its original shape due to the elasticity of the material, and the locking pin 320 re-engages into the corresponding locking groove 230, ensuring the reliability of unlocking and locking.
[0048] Reference Figure 17 and Figure 20As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the maximum width of the second button 370 is greater than the maximum width of the connecting arm 360 in the vertical direction, so as to increase the force-bearing area when the finger presses, making it easier to apply force. A stop portion 112 is formed on the side of the first receiving groove 111 facing the second receiving groove 122. When the locking post 320 is in the state of being disengaged from the locking groove 230, the second button 370 can abut against the stop portion 112. The stop portion 112 refers to the side wall located between the first receiving groove 111 and the second receiving groove 122, which is used to limit the maximum displacement of the second button 370 when it is disengaged from the locking groove 230, thereby avoiding excessive swing amplitude of the connecting arm 360, which may lead to plastic deformation, breakage and other adverse effects. Among them, anti-slip texture 311 and indicator mark 312 can also be provided on the second button 370. The anti-slip texture 311 can reduce slippage when in contact with the finger, while the indicator mark 312 directly indicates the pushing direction of the second button 370, reducing the probability of operation error, improving adjustment efficiency, and meeting the needs of rapid installation.
[0049] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the first limiting part 120 includes a surrounding plate 123 connected to the first plate 110, and a flange 124 connected to the side of the surrounding plate 123 facing away from the first plate 110. The flanges 124 of the two first limiting parts 120 are arranged opposite to each other and are used to restrict the second sealing plate 200 from disengaging in the direction away from the first plate 110. The flange 124, the surrounding plate 123, and the first plate 110 form a guide groove 125, which is used for guiding and engaging the left and right sides of the second sealing plate 200. During the adjustment of the position of the second sealing plate 200, the second sealing plate 200 can be guided to ensure that the locking post 320 can be aligned with the corresponding locking groove 230.
[0050] Reference Figure 8 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the second sealing plate 200 includes a second plate body 210 extending in the vertical direction and a second limiting part 220 connected to both sides of the second plate body 210 in the horizontal direction. Multiple slots 230 are arranged at the connection points of the two second limiting parts 220 and the second plate body 210. The multiple slots 230 of each second limiting part 220 are equidistantly arranged in the vertical direction, and the slots 230 penetrate the second limiting part 220 in the horizontal direction. The guide grooves 125 of the second limiting part 220 and the first limiting part 120 guide and cooperate, ensuring that the locking post 320 can be aligned with the corresponding slot 230, improving the assembly efficiency of the sealing assembly 1000. The equidistant distribution of multiple slots 230 facilitates subsequent adjustment of the position of the second sealing plate 200, meeting the sealing needs of users in different situations and flexibly adapting to different application scenarios. The slots 230 penetrating the second limiting part 220 in the horizontal direction ensure the stability and reliability of the locking of the locking post 320.
[0051] An air conditioner according to one embodiment of this utility model includes a body, an air duct, and a sealing assembly 1000 as described in the above embodiment. The sealing assembly 1000 is installed in a window. One end of the air duct is connected to the body, and the other end is connected to the mounting position 140 and communicates with the vent 150. The air duct is used to guide the air exhausted from the body to the outside. The air conditioner of this utility model uses the sealing assembly 1000 described in the above embodiment. The sealing assembly 1000 has a second sealing plate 200 located inside the first sealing plate 100 and abutting against the first limiting part 120. The second sealing plate 200 can slide and adjust its relative position to the first sealing plate 100 along a first direction, allowing the user to adjust the position between the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200 according to the required sealing length. The first sealing plate 100 or the second sealing plate 200 is provided with a mounting position 140, and the air duct of the air conditioner is connected to the mounting position 140 for convenient exhaust. The second sealing plate 200 has multiple slots 230 spaced apart along a first direction on the side facing the first sealing plate 100. The locking post 320 of the locking member 300 can be engaged into one of the slots 230 or disengaged from the slot 230 when driven. Therefore, when it is necessary to fix the relative position of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, the locking post 320 of the locking member 300 can be engaged into one of the slots 230. When it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, the locking post 320 and the slot 230 can be separated by external force. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the locking post 320 can be engaged into one of the slots 230. Since the locking member 300 is connected to the first sealing plate 100, it will not separate from the first sealing plate 100 during the adjustment process. Therefore, it does not need to be aligned with the mounting holes like fasteners such as pins or screws, reducing the time spent searching for fasteners, simplifying the installation of the first sealing plate 100 and the second sealing plate 200, and improving assembly efficiency.
