[0050] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 1 is a perspective structural schematic view of an installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 2 is a partially exploded structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application is used for a mobile air conditioner. The mobile air conditioner is an integrated unit in which a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser are all integrated together, and the entire unit is installed indoors. In some embodiments, in addition to an air inlet and an air outlet for heat exchange of the evaporator, the mobile air conditioner is also provided with a retractable air duct for heat exchange of the condenser. The air duct includes an air inlet duct and an air exhaust duct, which are respectively connected to the outdoor environment, thereby enabling air intake and exhaust, and achieving outdoor heat exchange. The installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application includes a plurality of plate bodies 110 and a locking mechanism 120.

[0051] In some embodiments, the plate body 110 refers to a sheet-shaped structure or component having a certain thickness and a relatively large planar size, wherein the relatively large planar size is relative to the thickness dimension of the plate body 110. The plate body 110 is the main component constituting the installation plate assembly 100. The installation plate assembly 100 may include two plate bodies 110, or may include other numbers of plate bodies 110 such as three plate bodies 110, which is not specifically limited herein. Taking FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as examples, a situation where two plate bodies 110 are provided is illustrated. Taking FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 as examples, FIG. 3 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 4 is a partially exploded structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, illustrating a situation where three plate bodies 110 are provided.

[0052] In some embodiments, the length direction of the plate body 110 may be defined as the first direction F1, the thickness direction of the plate body 110 may be defined as the second direction F2, and the width direction of the plate body 110 may be defined as the third direction F3. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 are mutually perpendicular, but are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, for example, the first direction F1 may also be defined as the width direction of the plate body 110, and the third direction F3 may also be defined as the length direction of the plate body 110. The dimensions of the plate body 110 in its length direction and width direction may be equal or unequal, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0053] In some embodiments, the plurality of plate bodies 110 include a first plate body 110a and a second plate body 110b. The first plate body 110a is provided with a guide portion g extending along the first direction F1. The second plate body 110b is configured to be movably connected to the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1. At least one of the first plate bodies 110a and / or at least one of the second plate bodies 110b is provided with an installation hole ak for installing an air duct of the mobile air conditioner. In some embodiments, the number of the first plate bodies 110a and the second plate bodies 110b may be the same or different. At least one first plate body 110a is provided, and at least one second plate body 110b is provided. This is not specifically limited herein. Taking FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as examples, a situation where one first plate body 110a and one second plate body 110b are provided is illustrated. Taking FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 as examples, a situation is illustrated where one first plate body 110a and two second plate bodies 110b are provided.

[0054] In some embodiments, the guide portion g is a structure configured to guide a component (e.g., the first locking member 121 illustrated later) to move along the first direction F1. The guide portion g may be formed by setting a recessed structure recessed along the second direction F2 on the first plate body 110a through methods such as cutting, or may be formed by molding methods such as extrusion molding. In some embodiments, combining with reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged structural schematic view at position M in FIG. 2, the guide portion g may be formed by extrusion molding, which is not specifically limited herein. In some embodiments, the guide portion g is a guide slot, that is, it may be a groove-shaped structure extending along the first direction F1. The cross-section of the slot body may be rectangular, inverted trapezoidal, arc-shaped, T-shaped, semi-circular, or any other structural cross-section adapted for sliding engagement with a locking component, to improve the stability and wear resistance of the locking engagement. In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib structure may be provided at the bottom of the slot to improve the structural strength of the plate body. The guide slot may be a closed slot enclosed on three sides for constraining the sliding trajectory of the locking member and preventing it from disengaging; or it may be a semi-open slot enclosed on two sides (e.g., "L" shaped or "U" shaped) to facilitate the insertion or removal of the locking member from a specific port. In some embodiments, a series of positioning holes, locking slots, or tooth-shaped structures may be provided inside the guide slot for engaging with elastic latches, toggle catches, etc., provided on the second plate body or the locking member to achieve segmented positioning or quick locking, thereby improving locking stability and avoiding sliding misalignment.

[0055] It can be understood that the guide portion g is not limited to a groove structure. Any structure capable of achieving the aforementioned guiding and constraining functions may be adopted. In some embodiments, the guide portion g may also be a guide rail provided on the surface of the plate body, and the first body portion of the first locking member is correspondingly designed as a clamping structure that can slide in engagement with the guide rail g. In some embodiments, the guide portion g may also be an edge of the first plate body 110a, and the first body portion of the first locking member is designed as a clamp that can be snapped onto and slide along that edge. In some embodiments, the guide portion g may also be a T-slot or dovetail slot structure to provide stronger constraint.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the second plate body 110b and the first plate body 110a are connected, they can move relative to each other along the first direction F1. In some embodiments, one of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is provided with a sliding connecting portion hc extending along the first direction F1, and the other is provided with a sliding portion hb that can slide adaptively within the sliding connecting portion hc. Along the first direction F1, the sliding connecting portion hc penetrates both sides of the plate body 110 where it is located along the first direction F1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a situation is illustrated where the sliding portion hb is provided on the first plate body 110a and the sliding connecting portion hc is provided on the second plate body 110b. Further, the sliding connecting portion hc and the sliding portion hb may be configured as structures embedded with each other, which is not specifically limited herein. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the sliding portion hb may be provided on both sides of the first plate body 110a along the third direction F3, and the sliding connecting portion hc may be provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the third direction F3. In some embodiments, the sliding connecting portion hc is a sliding slot. The slot is open at both ends, forming a front-to-back transparent structure, facilitating the insertion and movement of the sliding portion hb. The slot body of the sliding slot may be U-shaped, C-shaped, inverted T-shaped, or I-shaped to provide a stable guide rail structure, constraining the sliding portion hb to translate only along the first direction F1. In the third direction F3, the sliding slot may be provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b, forming a bilateral guiding structure to improve connection strength and guiding accuracy. In some embodiments, structures such as locking steps, friction pads, guide rails, buffer spring plates, etc., may be provided inside the sliding slot to engage in achieving functions such as limiting, shock absorption, or stopping.

[0057] In some embodiments, the sliding connecting portion may be a raised slide rail formed at the edge of the plate body, and the corresponding sliding portion may then be a groove that can clamp the slide rail. In some embodiments, the sliding connecting portion may be a C-shaped clamping channel formed by integral bending. These different structural forms can be adopted as long as they can engage with the sliding portion to achieve the functions of sliding guidance and interlocking constraint.

[0058] In some embodiments, the installation hole ak is opened along the second direction F2 on the corresponding plate body 110. "At least one of the first plate bodies 110a and / or at least one of the second plate bodies 110b is provided with the installation hole ak" means that among all the plate bodies 110, at least one of the plate bodies 110 is provided with the installation hole ak. This plate body 110 may be the first plate body 110a or the second plate body 110b. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a situation is illustrated where one of the second plate bodies 110b is provided with the installation hole ak. Taking FIG. 6 as an example, FIG. 6 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, illustrating a situation where one of the first plate bodies 110a and one of the second plate bodies 110b are respectively provided with the installation hole ak. Taking FIG. 7 as an example, FIG. 7 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, illustrating a situation where two second plate bodies 110b are respectively provided with the installation hole ak. The number and setting position of the installation hole ak can be determined according to specific usage situations, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0059] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 120 includes a first locking member 121 and a second locking member 122. One end of the first locking member 121 is configured to be movably engaged with the guide portion g, and the other end of the first locking member 121 is movably engaged to the second locking member 122, so that the locking mechanism 120 has a locked state and an unlocked state. The locking mechanism 120 is a mechanism configured to restrict the movement of components or fix components. Since the guide portion g extends along the first direction F1, one end of the first locking member 121 can be movably engaged with the guide portion g along the first direction F1. "Movably engaged" refers to a connection method between two components that not only connects them together but also allows a certain degree of relative movement or activity between them. This engaging method is not a rigid fixed connection but has a certain degree of flexibility and mobility, thereby enabling the locking mechanism 120 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking mechanism 120 prevents the movement of related components or objects, serving the purpose of locking and fixing. In the unlocked state, the related components or objects can move freely, and the locking mechanism 120 no longer restricts them. The switching between these two states can be achieved through the mutual engagement of the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, as well as actions such as the movement of the first locking member 121 within the guide portion g.

[0060] Combining with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, and in conjunction with FIG. 10, FIG. 8 is a structural schematic view of engagement between the first plate body 110a and the locking mechanism 120 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 9 is a side structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 10 is a enlarged structural schematic partial view at position N in FIG. 9. It can be understood that the viewing angles shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10 are all side viewing angles in FIG. 1. Among them, when the locking mechanism 120 is locked by first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b which are assembled together, the first locking member 121 is located at one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. The second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a define a clamping space J for clamping the second plate body 110b, so that the connected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b are fixed relative to each other. When the locking mechanism 120 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b fixed relative to each other are separable.

[0061] In some embodiments, "when the locking mechanism 120 is locked by the first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b which are assembled together", that is, the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b have been assembled together, the locking mechanism 120 can keep the relative positions of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b unchanged. At this time, along the first direction F1, the first locking member 121 is located on one side of the second plate body 110b. The "clamping space J" refers to a space formed between the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a. This space can clamp the second plate body 110b, thereby constraining the second plate body 110b. The second plate body 110b being clamped means that the second locking member 122 abuts against a side of the second plate body 110b along the second direction F2 facing away from the first plate body 110a. Combining with reference to FIG. 8, the position of the clamping space J is roughly indicated in FIG. 8. It can be understood that since the second locking member 122 is movably engaged to the first locking member 121, the distance between the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a is adjustable. Thus, the position of the second locking member 122 can be adjusted according to the thickness of different plate bodies 110 to form the clamping space J capable of clamping the second plate body 110b. Combining with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, a side of the second plate body 110b close to the corresponding locking mechanism 120 along the first direction F1 is clamped within the corresponding clamping space J. The location and size of the clamped portion of the second plate body 110b can be determined according to the position of the locking mechanism 120 and the structure of the locking mechanism 120, which is not specifically limited herein. In this way, through the positional relationship of the first locking member 121 relative to the second plate body 110b, and the clamping effect of the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a on the second plate body 110b, relative movement between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is prevented. Thus, the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b are locked and fixed relative to each other.

[0062] Therefore, by configuring the plurality of plate bodies 110 to include the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, and enabling the second plate body 110b to be movably connected to the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1, the size of the assembled plurality of plate bodies 110 along the first direction F1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size specifications of the window. By configuring the locking mechanism 120 to include the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, and enabling the first locking member 121 to be movably engaged with the guide portion g on the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1, the position of the first locking member 121 can be adjusted according to the relative positions between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b. Then, by using the clamping space J defined by the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a to lock the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, the interconnected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b are fixed relative to each other. In this process, since the first locking member 121 is movably engaged to the second locking member 122, and the second locking member 122 can define the clamping space J with the first plate body 110a, when the first locking member 121 moves to one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, the locking mechanism 120 can be switched to the locked state directly by operating the second locking member 122. This makes the operation of the locking process simpler and facilitates the assembly of the installation plate assembly 100. Compared to a method where holes are made in the plate body 110 and the locking mechanism 120 needs to pass through the holes to achieve locking, the locking method provided by some embodiments of the present application does not require performing the hole-making operation on the plate body 110. This not only saves production time for the installation plate assembly 100 and facilitates its production, but also improves the alignment issue between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, benefiting the assembly of the locking mechanism 120. Thus, the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application facilitates both the production and assembly of the installation plate assembly 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the way that the locking mechanism fixes the second plate body 110b is not limited to clamping. Any method can be used that enables the movable locking mechanism 120, when moved to the position of the second plate body 110b, to apply a force to the second plate body 110b to restrict its movement relative to the first plate body 110a. For example, in some embodiments, the locking mechanism may be an eccentric wheel or cam mechanism. When the user pulls a handle of the eccentric wheel, the outer edge of the eccentric wheel can squeeze or abut against the surface of the second plate body 110b, locking it through the generated normal pressure and friction. Alternatively, the locking mechanism may be a wedge block mechanism. By driving the wedge block into the gap between the locking mechanism and the second plate body, fixation is achieved by using the self-locking principle of the wedge block. Therefore, the methods of "fixing" or "locking" in the present application can be understood to include, but are not limited to, clamping, squeezing, abutting, wedging, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that the installation plate assembly 100 illustrated above can have different separated states in a non-use state, and can have different combined states in a use state, which are not specifically limited herein. For example, in the non-use state, any one of the plurality of plate bodies 110 may be independently provided and not connected to the corresponding plate body 110. Alternatively, when the plurality of plate bodies 110 include two first plate bodies 110a and one second plate body 110b, one of the first plate bodies 110a may be connected to the second plate body 110b, and the other first plate body 110a may be independently provided. For another example, in the use state, when the total number of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is more than three, all the first plate bodies 110a and all the second plate bodies 110b may be alternately arranged along the first direction F1. For yet another example, in the use state, when the total number of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is more than three, some plate bodies 110 may be selected for combination according to the size specifications of the window, and combined with the situations as illustrated in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, which is not specifically limited herein. In this way, it can more flexibly meet the requirements for the usage scenarios of windows with different sizes and specifications, while also balance the requirements for ease of production and ease of assembly. It can be understood that the perspective structural schematic views of the installation plate assembly 100 illustrated above and below in some embodiments of the present application can be understood as one combined state of the installation plate assembly 100, but do not limit the non-use state and use state of the installation plate assembly 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 10, and in conjunction with FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a side structural schematic view of the second plate body 110b provided by some embodiments of the present application, wherein at least one side of the two sides of the second plate body 110b arranged along the first direction F1 is provided with an engaging portion p. The engaging portion p is configured to limit the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122. In some embodiments, the engaging portion p is a structure provided on the second plate body 110b and engaging with the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 in the locking mechanism 120. The engaging portion p may be provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, or on only one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a situation is illustrated where the engaging portion p is provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. It can be understood that when the engaging portion p is provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, installation operations can be performed from either side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, thereby further increasing installation flexibility and improving installation efficiency. By providing the engaging portion p, it not only helps improve the stability of the lock when the locking mechanism 120 is in the locked state, but also provides an installation position reference for the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 during the assembly process of the installation plate assembly 100, thereby further improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0066] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 10, and FIG. 11, the engaging portion p is constructed as a notch q. The notch q penetrates one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1 and penetrates the second plate body 110b along the second direction F2. The notch q is configured to limit the first locking member 121. In some embodiments, the notch q not only penetrates one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, but also penetrates the entire second plate body 110b along the second direction F2, which is different from the first direction F1. This means the notch q can be formed at one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. When the first locking member 121 engages with the notch q, the edge and shape of the notch q can restrict the movement of the first locking member 121, thereby enabling the first locking member 121to be positioned in a desired position, and facilitating the locking function of the locking mechanism 120 on the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b. The shape and structure of the notch q can be determined according to the structure of the first locking member 121, as long as it can limit the first locking member 121. In some embodiments, the notch q may be a U-shaped notch. Of course, the notch q may also be approximately U-shaped, which is not specifically limited herein. In this way, by constructing the engaging portion p as the notch q, it not only provides locking space and limiting space for the first locking member 121, thereby helping the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a to define a more stable and reliable clamping space J, thus improving the stability and reliability of the locking mechanism 120, but also allows the notch q to be formed simultaneously during the manufacturing of the second plate body 110b, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the production process.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, FIG. 12 is a perspective structural schematic view of the second plate body 110b provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 13 is a partial structural schematic view of engagement between the second locking member 122 and the second plate body 110b provided by some embodiments of the present application, wherein the second plate body 110b has a first side s1 and a second side s2 oppositely arranged along the second direction F2. The first side s1 is configured to abut against the second locking member 122. The engaging portion p is constructed as a recess x. The recess x penetrates one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1 and is recessed in a direction from the first side s1 toward the second side s2. The recess x is configured to limit the second locking member 122.

[0068] In some embodiments, the specific structural form of the engaging portion p is a recessed part on the second plate body 110b. That is, by providing the recess x on the second plate body 110b as a structure engaging with the second locking member 122, the recess x can limit the second locking member 122. When the second locking member 122 engages with the recess x, the shape, edge, depth, etc., of the recess x will restrict the movement of the second locking member 122. By constructing the engaging portion p as the recess x, it not only provides more stable support and limiting action for the second locking member 122, thereby enhancing the locking effect of the entire locking mechanism 120 and making the connection between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b more secure and reliable, but also allows the force acting on the second locking member 122 to be distributed over a larger area, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the installation plate assembly 100. Furthermore, the recess x can be formed simultaneously during the manufacturing of the second plate body 110b, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the production process.

[0069] In some embodiments, the engaging portion p may also be one or more through holes into which pins or protrusions on the locking mechanism can be inserted during locking. The engaging portion p may also be anti-slip textures, knurling, or a series of serrations formed on the surface of the second plate body 110b. When the locking mechanism is clamped, the corresponding structure on it can engage with these textures or serrations to increase the friction coefficient and provide a certain mechanical engaging force. Its function is to provide additional positioning or locking assistance beyond pure friction.

[0070] In some embodiments, FIG. 14 is a structural schematic view of the locking mechanism 120 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional structural schematic view taken along direction A-A in FIG. 14, FIG. 16 is an exploded structural schematic view of the structure illustrated in FIG. 15, FIG. 17 is a structural schematic view of the first locking member 121 provided by some embodiments of the present application, the first locking member 121 includes a first body portion 1211 and a second body portion 1212 connected to the first body portion 1211. The first body portion 1211 is constructed to be movably engaged with the guide portion g. The second body portion 1212 is threadedly connected to the second locking member 122. The first body portion 1211 can move within the guide portion g along the first direction F1. The second body portion 1212 and the second locking member 122 are connected by a threaded connection. The threaded connection utilizes the helical structure of threads to screw the second body portion 1212 and the second locking member 122 together. Rotation can be used to control the distance between the second locking member 122 and the second plate body 110b and provide the fastening force that fixes the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b relative to each other. It also facilitates disassembly and adjustment as needed. In this way, by threadedly connecting the second body portion 1212 to the second locking member 122, it is possible to switch the locking mechanism 120 between the locked state and the unlocked state by rotating the second locking member 122, thereby further improving the assembly convenience of the installation plate assembly 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second body portion 1212 and the second locking member 122 may be constructed by an elastic connection. In this way, the second locking member 122 can clamp the second plate body 110b with the first plate body 110a via elastic force. That is, the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b can be locked by a tensioning method. In some embodiments, the size of the clamping space can also be adjusted by a latching method to achieve locking of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b. As long as the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b can be locked via the clamping space, it is not specifically limited herein.

[0072] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the first locking member 121 further includes a third body portion 1213. The third body portion 1213 is provided at an end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211. The third body portion 1213 is configured to restrict the second locking member 122 from detaching from the first locking member 121. The third body portion 1213 and the first body portion 1211 are located at two ends of the second body portion 1212, respectively. The third body portion 1213 is mainly configured to restrict the second locking member 122 from detaching from the first locking member 121. By providing the third body portion 1213, it not only allows the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 to remain in a connected state, thereby simplifying the operation of assembling the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 and helping improving installation efficiency, but also enhances the structural reliability and maintainability of the locking mechanism 120.

[0073] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the second locking member 122 is provided with a through hole tk. The through hole tk includes a first hole segment tk1 and a second hole segment tk2 arranged along the opening direction of the through hole tk. The first hole segment tk1 and the second hole segment tk2 are in communication with each other. An inner wall of the first hole segment tk1 is threadedly connected to an outer wall of the second body portion 1212. The third body portion 1213 is snap-fitted within the second hole segment tk2. In some embodiments, the aperture of the first hole segment tk1 and the aperture of the second hole segment tk2 may be the same or different. The second hole segment tk2 may be an equal-diameter hole or not, which is not specifically limited herein. Referring to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, a situation is illustrated where the second hole segment tk2 is an equal-diameter hole. By setting the through hole tk as the first hole segment tk1 and the second hole segment tk2, since the inner wall of the first hole segment tk1 has threads and the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2 has no threads, it helps the threaded connection between the second locking member 122 and the second body portion 1212 while also facilitating the snap-fitting between the third body portion 1213 and the second locking member 122.

[0074] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the third body portion 1213 is constructed to be elastic. Since the third body portion 1213 can undergo elastic deformation under external force and recover after the force is removed. This allows the third body portion 1213 to be connected to the second locking member 122 by elastic snap-fitting. Under the action of the elastic force, it not only facilitates the assembly of the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 but also enhances the reliability of the snap-fit connection.

[0075] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the third body portion 1213 also includes a plurality of sub-body portions 12131. The plurality of sub-body portions 12131 are provided at an end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211 and define a deformable space E. The deformable space E refers to a spatial area enclosed or defined by the plurality of sub-body portions 12131 at the end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211. The deformable space E provides physical accommodation and stretch space for the elastic deformation of the third body portion 1213. When the third body portion 1213 is subjected to an external force, the plurality of sub-body portions 12131 can adapt to the force by deforming through displacement, twisting, stretching, etc., into this deformable space E. By defining the deformable space E, the plurality of sub-body portions 12131can generate a certain elastic restoring force after they snap into the second hole segment tk2, thereby applying a clamping force to the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2. This not only helps the snap-fit between the third body portion 1213 and the second locking member 122 but also further enhances the connection stability between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122.

[0076] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the sub-body portion 12131 has a first end e1 connected to the end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211, and a second end e2 opposite to the first end e1. The second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 is constructed as a free end. A free end means that the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 is not directly connected or constrained to other fixed components or structures, is in a relatively free state, and has a certain degree of freedom of movement in space. Due to the lack of direct connection constraints, the free end can move or deform relatively freely when subjected to external forces or its own elasticity. For example, when an external force acts on the third body portion 1213, the free end can perform actions such as swing, bending, extending, or retracting within a certain range, and make corresponding response according to the direction and magnitude of the external force to adapt to changes and stress conditions of the entire structure. This free state of the free end provides flexibility for the functional realization of the entire structure and enables the definition of the aforementioned deformable space E. By constructing the sub-body portion 12131 so that one end is connected to the second body portion 1212 and the other end is a free end, the deformable space E can be defined among the plurality of sub-body portions 12131. When the third body portion 1213 snaps into the second hole segment tk2, the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 can adaptively adjust according to the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2, so as to better conform to the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2. This not only facilitates snapping the third body portion 1213 into the second hole segment tk2 but also helps improve the tightness and stability of the snap-fit. Furthermore, such a sub-body portion 12131 is also easy to manufacture and more helpful to form the deformable space E.

[0077] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the third body portion 1213 further includes a hook portion 12132 provided at the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131. The hook portion 12132 is configured to snap-fit to a side of the second locking member 122 facing away from the first locking member 121. The hook portion 12132 is a structure located at the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 in the third body portion 1213, which is constructed to engage with the second locking member 122 by snap-fitting. In some embodiments, the hook portion 12132 may have a shape similar to a hook or a snap, capable of hooking or latching onto the second locking member 122 from the side facing away from the first locking member 121, thereby achieving connection and fixation between the third body portion 1213 and the second locking member 122 in this manner. Since the hook portion 12132 can hook the side of the second locking member 122 facing away from the first locking member 121, it can provide a limiting effect, thereby reducing the risk of the second locking member 122 detaching from the first locking member 121, and further improving the reliability of the locking.

[0078] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, along the first direction F1, the guide portion g penetrates both sides of the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1. Thus, during assembly, it facilitates the insertion of the first locking member 121 into the guide portion g from either side of the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1, providing more assembly operation space, thereby reducing installation difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, both sides of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b along the third direction F3 can be movably engaged along the first direction F1. The guide portion g is provided in a middle region of the first plate body 110a. This makes the force distribution on the installation plate assembly 100 more uniform overall, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire installation plate assembly 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 18, FIG. 18 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, wherein the plurality of plate bodies 110 further include a third plate body 110c. The third plate body 110c is provided with a guide portion g extending along the first direction F1. One side of the third plate body 110c along the first direction F1 is provided with an engaging portion p. Thus, a first plate body 110a may be arranged on the side of the third plate body 110c provided with the engaging portion p, and a second plate body 110b may be arranged on the other side of the third plate body 110c along the first direction F1. In some embodiments, in one combined state of the installation plate assembly 100, an arrangement of second plate body 110b, third plate body 110c, first plate body 110a, second plate body 110b may be formed along the first direction F1. Adjacent two plate bodies 110 can be movably connected along the first direction F1. In the use state, multiple locking mechanisms 120 can be used to lock adjacent two plate bodies 110. The locking of the interconnected second plate body 110b and third plate body 110c, and the locking of the interconnected third plate body 110c and first plate body 110a can be understood with reference to the locking of the connected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b illustrated above, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] In some embodiments, taking FIG. 18 as an example, two guide portions g may be provided on the third plate body 110c, with one guide portion g closer to one side of the third plate body 110c along the third direction F3, and the other guide portion g closer to the other side of the third plate body 110c along the third direction F3. The guide portion g on the first plate body 110a is provided in the central region of the first plate body 110a, which can form a more stable installation plate assembly 100. At this time, two engaging portions p may be provided on the side of the first plate body 110a connected to the third plate body 110c. Thus, by providing the third plate body 110c, the installation plate assembly 100 can have a more flexible assembly state.

[0082] It should be noted that in some situations illustrated in the above embodiments, the first plate body 110a is the plate body 110 provided with the guide portion g, the second plate body 110b is the plate body 110 provided with the engaging portion p, and the third plate body 110c is the plate body 110 provided with both the guide portion g and the engaging portion p. Of course, the plurality of plate bodies 110 may also include plate bodies 110 that can be assembled in other forms, which is not specifically limited herein. The length of each plate body 110 in the plurality of plate bodies 110 along the first direction F1 may be the same or different, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0083] In some implementations, referring to FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, FIG. 19 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 20 is a partially exploded structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, the installation plate assembly 100 further includes an installation structure 130. The installation structure 130 is engaged with the corresponding plate body 110 through the installation hole ak. The installation structure 130 is configured to connect with the air duct. By providing the installation structure 130, it not only facilitates faster installation of the air duct but also helps improve the sealing performance at the installation hole ak.

[0084] The assembly process of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application will be exemplarily described below in conjunction with the content illustrated in the above embodiments, but is not limited thereto. The assembly process of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S110: Combining reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 14, provide the first plate body 110a, the second plate body 110b, and the locking mechanism 120;

[0086] Step S120: Combining reference to FIG. 21, assemble the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, and install them into a sliding rail of a window frame (not shown in the figure);

[0087] Step S130: Combining reference to FIG. 22, movably connect the locking mechanism 120 to the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1 through the guide portion g;

[0088] Step S140: Combining reference to FIG. 1, adjust the relative positions of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, move the locking mechanism 120 to one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. When the second body portion 1212 of the first locking member 121 is snap-fitted at the notch q, the second locking member 122 is rotated so that the locking mechanism 120 is in the locked state, the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a define the clamping space J for clamping the second plate body 110b, and the interconnected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b are fixed relative to each other, thereby obtaining the assembled installation plate assembly 100.

[0089] In step S110: The locking mechanism 120 can be provided to the user after being assembled. Combining reference to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, by using the locking structure illustrated in the foregoing embodiments, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 can be an integrated structure formed by engagement. Thus, the user does not need to assemble the locking mechanism 120, thereby simplifying the user's installation process.

[0090] In steps S120 to S140, since the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b can be movably connected along the first direction F1, and their positions can be adjusted according to the size specifications of the window. Since the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b are locked by clamping the second plate body 110b in the clamping space J, the locking step becomes simpler. Combined with the notch q engaged with the second plate body 110b, installation can be further simplified and installation efficiency is improved, thereby enhancing the user experience. It should be noted that in the process illustrated above, the locking mechanism 120 may also be installed on the first plate body 110a first; alternatively, the relative positions of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b may be adjusted before the locking mechanism 120 is installed on the first plate body 110a. Installation can be performed according to the specific usage situation, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0091] In some embodiments, a mobile air conditioner assembly is provided, including a mobile air conditioner and the installation plate assembly 100 according to any of the above embodiments. The mobile air conditioner has an air duct, and one end of the air duct is connected to the installation plate assembly 100 through the installation hole ak. In some embodiments, the air duct includes an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct and air outlet duct are arranged at the window, and their lengths extending out of the window can be adjusted by moving. The lengths of the air inlet duct and air outlet duct extending out of the window can be set according to the usage situation, which is not specifically limited herein, facilitating communication with outdoor air and providing good adaptability. Furthermore, in some embodiments, combining the various implementations of the installation plate assembly 100 illustrated in the above embodiments, one combined state in use may be that the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b are alternately arranged along the first direction F1. Other combined states can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here. Since the installation plate assembly 100 has the convenience of production and assembly, it helps the installation of the air duct of the mobile air conditioner, making the overall assembly process more flexible and able to meet the use of windows with different size specifications.

[0092] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. For concision of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered within the scope recorded in the present specification.

[0093] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementations of the present application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but should not be construed as limit on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 1 is a perspective structural schematic view of an installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 2 is a partially exploded structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application is used for a mobile air conditioner. The mobile air conditioner is an integrated unit in which a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser are all integrated together, and the entire unit is installed indoors. In some embodiments, in addition to an air inlet and an air outlet for heat exchange of the evaporator, the mobile air conditioner is also provided with a retractable air duct for heat exchange of the condenser. The air duct includes an air inlet duct and an air exhaust duct, which are respectively connected to the outdoor environment, thereby enabling air intake and exhaust, and achieving outdoor heat exchange. The installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application includes a plurality of plate bodies 110 and a locking mechanism 120.

[0051] In some embodiments, the plate body 110 refers to a sheet-shaped structure or component having a certain thickness and a relatively large planar size, wherein the relatively large planar size is relative to the thickness dimension of the plate body 110. The plate body 110 is the main component constituting the installation plate assembly 100. The installation plate assembly 100 may include two plate bodies 110, or may include other numbers of plate bodies 110 such as three plate bodies 110, which is not specifically limited herein. Taking FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as examples, a situation where two plate bodies 110 are provided is illustrated. Taking FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 as examples, FIG. 3 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 4 is a partially exploded structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, illustrating a situation where three plate bodies 110 are provided.

[0052] In some embodiments, the length direction of the plate body 110 may be defined as the first direction F1, the thickness direction of the plate body 110 may be defined as the second direction F2, and the width direction of the plate body 110 may be defined as the third direction F3. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 are mutually perpendicular, but are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, for example, the first direction F1 may also be defined as the width direction of the plate body 110, and the third direction F3 may also be defined as the length direction of the plate body 110. The dimensions of the plate body 110 in its length direction and width direction may be equal or unequal, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0053] In some embodiments, the plurality of plate bodies 110 include a first plate body 110a and a second plate body 110b. The first plate body 110a is provided with a guide portion g extending along the first direction F1. The second plate body 110b is configured to be movably connected to the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1. At least one of the first plate bodies 110a and / or at least one of the second plate bodies 110b is provided with an installation hole ak for installing an air duct of the mobile air conditioner. In some embodiments, the number of the first plate bodies 110a and the second plate bodies 110b may be the same or different. At least one first plate body 110a is provided, and at least one second plate body 110b is provided. This is not specifically limited herein. Taking FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as examples, a situation where one first plate body 110a and one second plate body 110b are provided is illustrated. Taking FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 as examples, a situation is illustrated where one first plate body 110a and two second plate bodies 110b are provided.

[0054] In some embodiments, the guide portion g is a structure configured to guide a component (e.g., the first locking member 121 illustrated later) to move along the first direction F1. The guide portion g may be formed by setting a recessed structure recessed along the second direction F2 on the first plate body 110a through methods such as cutting, or may be formed by molding methods such as extrusion molding. In some embodiments, combining with reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged structural schematic view at position M in FIG. 2, the guide portion g may be formed by extrusion molding, which is not specifically limited herein. In some embodiments, the guide portion g is a guide slot, that is, it may be a groove-shaped structure extending along the first direction F1. The cross-section of the slot body may be rectangular, inverted trapezoidal, arc-shaped, T-shaped, semi-circular, or any other structural cross-section adapted for sliding engagement with a locking component, to improve the stability and wear resistance of the locking engagement. In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib structure may be provided at the bottom of the slot to improve the structural strength of the plate body. The guide slot may be a closed slot enclosed on three sides for constraining the sliding trajectory of the locking member and preventing it from disengaging; or it may be a semi-open slot enclosed on two sides (e.g., "L" shaped or "U" shaped) to facilitate the insertion or removal of the locking member from a specific port. In some embodiments, a series of positioning holes, locking slots, or tooth-shaped structures may be provided inside the guide slot for engaging with elastic latches, toggle catches, etc., provided on the second plate body or the locking member to achieve segmented positioning or quick locking, thereby improving locking stability and avoiding sliding misalignment.

[0055] It can be understood that the guide portion g is not limited to a groove structure. Any structure capable of achieving the aforementioned guiding and constraining functions may be adopted. In some embodiments, the guide portion g may also be a guide rail provided on the surface of the plate body, and the first body portion of the first locking member is correspondingly designed as a clamping structure that can slide in engagement with the guide rail g. In some embodiments, the guide portion g may also be an edge of the first plate body 110a, and the first body portion of the first locking member is designed as a clamp that can be snapped onto and slide along that edge. In some embodiments, the guide portion g may also be a T-slot or dovetail slot structure to provide stronger constraint.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the second plate body 110b and the first plate body 110a are connected, they can move relative to each other along the first direction F1. In some embodiments, one of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is provided with a sliding connecting portion hc extending along the first direction F1, and the other is provided with a sliding portion hb that can slide adaptively within the sliding connecting portion hc. Along the first direction F1, the sliding connecting portion hc penetrates both sides of the plate body 110 where it is located along the first direction F1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a situation is illustrated where the sliding portion hb is provided on the first plate body 110a and the sliding connecting portion hc is provided on the second plate body 110b. Further, the sliding connecting portion hc and the sliding portion hb may be configured as structures embedded with each other, which is not specifically limited herein. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the sliding portion hb may be provided on both sides of the first plate body 110a along the third direction F3, and the sliding connecting portion hc may be provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the third direction F3. In some embodiments, the sliding connecting portion hc is a sliding slot. The slot is open at both ends, forming a front-to-back transparent structure, facilitating the insertion and movement of the sliding portion hb. The slot body of the sliding slot may be U-shaped, C-shaped, inverted T-shaped, or I-shaped to provide a stable guide rail structure, constraining the sliding portion hb to translate only along the first direction F1. In the third direction F3, the sliding slot may be provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b, forming a bilateral guiding structure to improve connection strength and guiding accuracy. In some embodiments, structures such as locking steps, friction pads, guide rails, buffer spring plates, etc., may be provided inside the sliding slot to engage in achieving functions such as limiting, shock absorption, or stopping.

[0057] In some embodiments, the sliding connecting portion may be a raised slide rail formed at the edge of the plate body, and the corresponding sliding portion may then be a groove that can clamp the slide rail. In some embodiments, the sliding connecting portion may be a C-shaped clamping channel formed by integral bending. These different structural forms can be adopted as long as they can engage with the sliding portion to achieve the functions of sliding guidance and interlocking constraint.

[0058] In some embodiments, the installation hole ak is opened along the second direction F2 on the corresponding plate body 110. "At least one of the first plate bodies 110a and / or at least one of the second plate bodies 110b is provided with the installation hole ak" means that among all the plate bodies 110, at least one of the plate bodies 110 is provided with the installation hole ak. This plate body 110 may be the first plate body 110a or the second plate body 110b. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a situation is illustrated where one of the second plate bodies 110b is provided with the installation hole ak. Taking FIG. 6 as an example, FIG. 6 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, illustrating a situation where one of the first plate bodies 110a and one of the second plate bodies 110b are respectively provided with the installation hole ak. Taking FIG. 7 as an example, FIG. 7 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, illustrating a situation where two second plate bodies 110b are respectively provided with the installation hole ak. The number and setting position of the installation hole ak can be determined according to specific usage situations, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0059] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 120 includes a first locking member 121 and a second locking member 122. One end of the first locking member 121 is configured to be movably engaged with the guide portion g, and the other end of the first locking member 121 is movably engaged to the second locking member 122, so that the locking mechanism 120 has a locked state and an unlocked state. The locking mechanism 120 is a mechanism configured to restrict the movement of components or fix components. Since the guide portion g extends along the first direction F1, one end of the first locking member 121 can be movably engaged with the guide portion g along the first direction F1. "Movably engaged" refers to a connection method between two components that not only connects them together but also allows a certain degree of relative movement or activity between them. This engaging method is not a rigid fixed connection but has a certain degree of flexibility and mobility, thereby enabling the locking mechanism 120 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking mechanism 120 prevents the movement of related components or objects, serving the purpose of locking and fixing. In the unlocked state, the related components or objects can move freely, and the locking mechanism 120 no longer restricts them. The switching between these two states can be achieved through the mutual engagement of the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, as well as actions such as the movement of the first locking member 121 within the guide portion g.

[0060] Combining with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, and in conjunction with FIG. 10, FIG. 8 is a structural schematic view of engagement between the first plate body 110a and the locking mechanism 120 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 9 is a side structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 10 is a enlarged structural schematic partial view at position N in FIG. 9. It can be understood that the viewing angles shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10 are all side viewing angles in FIG. 1. Among them, when the locking mechanism 120 is locked by first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b which are assembled together, the first locking member 121 is located at one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. The second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a define a clamping space J for clamping the second plate body 110b, so that the connected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b are fixed relative to each other. When the locking mechanism 120 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b fixed relative to each other are separable.

[0061] In some embodiments, "when the locking mechanism 120 is locked by the first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b which are assembled together", that is, the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b have been assembled together, the locking mechanism 120 can keep the relative positions of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b unchanged. At this time, along the first direction F1, the first locking member 121 is located on one side of the second plate body 110b. The "clamping space J" refers to a space formed between the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a. This space can clamp the second plate body 110b, thereby constraining the second plate body 110b. The second plate body 110b being clamped means that the second locking member 122 abuts against a side of the second plate body 110b along the second direction F2 facing away from the first plate body 110a. Combining with reference to FIG. 8, the position of the clamping space J is roughly indicated in FIG. 8. It can be understood that since the second locking member 122 is movably engaged to the first locking member 121, the distance between the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a is adjustable. Thus, the position of the second locking member 122 can be adjusted according to the thickness of different plate bodies 110 to form the clamping space J capable of clamping the second plate body 110b. Combining with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, a side of the second plate body 110b close to the corresponding locking mechanism 120 along the first direction F1 is clamped within the corresponding clamping space J. The location and size of the clamped portion of the second plate body 110b can be determined according to the position of the locking mechanism 120 and the structure of the locking mechanism 120, which is not specifically limited herein. In this way, through the positional relationship of the first locking member 121 relative to the second plate body 110b, and the clamping effect of the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a on the second plate body 110b, relative movement between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is prevented. Thus, the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b are locked and fixed relative to each other.

[0062] Therefore, by configuring the plurality of plate bodies 110 to include the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, and enabling the second plate body 110b to be movably connected to the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1, the size of the assembled plurality of plate bodies 110 along the first direction F1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size specifications of the window. By configuring the locking mechanism 120 to include the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, and enabling the first locking member 121 to be movably engaged with the guide portion g on the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1, the position of the first locking member 121 can be adjusted according to the relative positions between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b. Then, by using the clamping space J defined by the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a to lock the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, the interconnected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b are fixed relative to each other. In this process, since the first locking member 121 is movably engaged to the second locking member 122, and the second locking member 122 can define the clamping space J with the first plate body 110a, when the first locking member 121 moves to one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, the locking mechanism 120 can be switched to the locked state directly by operating the second locking member 122. This makes the operation of the locking process simpler and facilitates the assembly of the installation plate assembly 100. Compared to a method where holes are made in the plate body 110 and the locking mechanism 120 needs to pass through the holes to achieve locking, the locking method provided by some embodiments of the present application does not require performing the hole-making operation on the plate body 110. This not only saves production time for the installation plate assembly 100 and facilitates its production, but also improves the alignment issue between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, benefiting the assembly of the locking mechanism 120. Thus, the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application facilitates both the production and assembly of the installation plate assembly 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the way that the locking mechanism fixes the second plate body 110b is not limited to clamping. Any method can be used that enables the movable locking mechanism 120, when moved to the position of the second plate body 110b, to apply a force to the second plate body 110b to restrict its movement relative to the first plate body 110a. For example, in some embodiments, the locking mechanism may be an eccentric wheel or cam mechanism. When the user pulls a handle of the eccentric wheel, the outer edge of the eccentric wheel can squeeze or abut against the surface of the second plate body 110b, locking it through the generated normal pressure and friction. Alternatively, the locking mechanism may be a wedge block mechanism. By driving the wedge block into the gap between the locking mechanism and the second plate body, fixation is achieved by using the self-locking principle of the wedge block. Therefore, the methods of "fixing" or "locking" in the present application can be understood to include, but are not limited to, clamping, squeezing, abutting, wedging, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that the installation plate assembly 100 illustrated above can have different separated states in a non-use state, and can have different combined states in a use state, which are not specifically limited herein. For example, in the non-use state, any one of the plurality of plate bodies 110 may be independently provided and not connected to the corresponding plate body 110. Alternatively, when the plurality of plate bodies 110 include two first plate bodies 110a and one second plate body 110b, one of the first plate bodies 110a may be connected to the second plate body 110b, and the other first plate body 110a may be independently provided. For another example, in the use state, when the total number of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is more than three, all the first plate bodies 110a and all the second plate bodies 110b may be alternately arranged along the first direction F1. For yet another example, in the use state, when the total number of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b is more than three, some plate bodies 110 may be selected for combination according to the size specifications of the window, and combined with the situations as illustrated in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, which is not specifically limited herein. In this way, it can more flexibly meet the requirements for the usage scenarios of windows with different sizes and specifications, while also balance the requirements for ease of production and ease of assembly. It can be understood that the perspective structural schematic views of the installation plate assembly 100 illustrated above and below in some embodiments of the present application can be understood as one combined state of the installation plate assembly 100, but do not limit the non-use state and use state of the installation plate assembly 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 10, and in conjunction with FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a side structural schematic view of the second plate body 110b provided by some embodiments of the present application, wherein at least one side of the two sides of the second plate body 110b arranged along the first direction F1 is provided with an engaging portion p. The engaging portion p is configured to limit the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122. In some embodiments, the engaging portion p is a structure provided on the second plate body 110b and engaging with the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 in the locking mechanism 120. The engaging portion p may be provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, or on only one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a situation is illustrated where the engaging portion p is provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. It can be understood that when the engaging portion p is provided on both sides of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, installation operations can be performed from either side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, thereby further increasing installation flexibility and improving installation efficiency. By providing the engaging portion p, it not only helps improve the stability of the lock when the locking mechanism 120 is in the locked state, but also provides an installation position reference for the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 during the assembly process of the installation plate assembly 100, thereby further improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0066] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 10, and FIG. 11, the engaging portion p is constructed as a notch q. The notch q penetrates one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1 and penetrates the second plate body 110b along the second direction F2. The notch q is configured to limit the first locking member 121. In some embodiments, the notch q not only penetrates one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, but also penetrates the entire second plate body 110b along the second direction F2, which is different from the first direction F1. This means the notch q can be formed at one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. When the first locking member 121 engages with the notch q, the edge and shape of the notch q can restrict the movement of the first locking member 121, thereby enabling the first locking member 121to be positioned in a desired position, and facilitating the locking function of the locking mechanism 120 on the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b. The shape and structure of the notch q can be determined according to the structure of the first locking member 121, as long as it can limit the first locking member 121. In some embodiments, the notch q may be a U-shaped notch. Of course, the notch q may also be approximately U-shaped, which is not specifically limited herein. In this way, by constructing the engaging portion p as the notch q, it not only provides locking space and limiting space for the first locking member 121, thereby helping the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a to define a more stable and reliable clamping space J, thus improving the stability and reliability of the locking mechanism 120, but also allows the notch q to be formed simultaneously during the manufacturing of the second plate body 110b, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the production process.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, FIG. 12 is a perspective structural schematic view of the second plate body 110b provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 13 is a partial structural schematic view of engagement between the second locking member 122 and the second plate body 110b provided by some embodiments of the present application, wherein the second plate body 110b has a first side s1 and a second side s2 oppositely arranged along the second direction F2. The first side s1 is configured to abut against the second locking member 122. The engaging portion p is constructed as a recess x. The recess x penetrates one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1 and is recessed in a direction from the first side s1 toward the second side s2. The recess x is configured to limit the second locking member 122.

[0068] In some embodiments, the specific structural form of the engaging portion p is a recessed part on the second plate body 110b. That is, by providing the recess x on the second plate body 110b as a structure engaging with the second locking member 122, the recess x can limit the second locking member 122. When the second locking member 122 engages with the recess x, the shape, edge, depth, etc., of the recess x will restrict the movement of the second locking member 122. By constructing the engaging portion p as the recess x, it not only provides more stable support and limiting action for the second locking member 122, thereby enhancing the locking effect of the entire locking mechanism 120 and making the connection between the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b more secure and reliable, but also allows the force acting on the second locking member 122 to be distributed over a larger area, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the installation plate assembly 100. Furthermore, the recess x can be formed simultaneously during the manufacturing of the second plate body 110b, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the production process.

[0069] In some embodiments, the engaging portion p may also be one or more through holes into which pins or protrusions on the locking mechanism can be inserted during locking. The engaging portion p may also be anti-slip textures, knurling, or a series of serrations formed on the surface of the second plate body 110b. When the locking mechanism is clamped, the corresponding structure on it can engage with these textures or serrations to increase the friction coefficient and provide a certain mechanical engaging force. Its function is to provide additional positioning or locking assistance beyond pure friction.

[0070] In some embodiments, FIG. 14 is a structural schematic view of the locking mechanism 120 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional structural schematic view taken along direction A-A in FIG. 14, FIG. 16 is an exploded structural schematic view of the structure illustrated in FIG. 15, FIG. 17 is a structural schematic view of the first locking member 121 provided by some embodiments of the present application, the first locking member 121 includes a first body portion 1211 and a second body portion 1212 connected to the first body portion 1211. The first body portion 1211 is constructed to be movably engaged with the guide portion g. The second body portion 1212 is threadedly connected to the second locking member 122. The first body portion 1211 can move within the guide portion g along the first direction F1. The second body portion 1212 and the second locking member 122 are connected by a threaded connection. The threaded connection utilizes the helical structure of threads to screw the second body portion 1212 and the second locking member 122 together. Rotation can be used to control the distance between the second locking member 122 and the second plate body 110b and provide the fastening force that fixes the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b relative to each other. It also facilitates disassembly and adjustment as needed. In this way, by threadedly connecting the second body portion 1212 to the second locking member 122, it is possible to switch the locking mechanism 120 between the locked state and the unlocked state by rotating the second locking member 122, thereby further improving the assembly convenience of the installation plate assembly 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second body portion 1212 and the second locking member 122 may be constructed by an elastic connection. In this way, the second locking member 122 can clamp the second plate body 110b with the first plate body 110a via elastic force. That is, the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b can be locked by a tensioning method. In some embodiments, the size of the clamping space can also be adjusted by a latching method to achieve locking of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b. As long as the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b can be locked via the clamping space, it is not specifically limited herein.

[0072] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the first locking member 121 further includes a third body portion 1213. The third body portion 1213 is provided at an end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211. The third body portion 1213 is configured to restrict the second locking member 122 from detaching from the first locking member 121. The third body portion 1213 and the first body portion 1211 are located at two ends of the second body portion 1212, respectively. The third body portion 1213 is mainly configured to restrict the second locking member 122 from detaching from the first locking member 121. By providing the third body portion 1213, it not only allows the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 to remain in a connected state, thereby simplifying the operation of assembling the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 and helping improving installation efficiency, but also enhances the structural reliability and maintainability of the locking mechanism 120.

[0073] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the second locking member 122 is provided with a through hole tk. The through hole tk includes a first hole segment tk1 and a second hole segment tk2 arranged along the opening direction of the through hole tk. The first hole segment tk1 and the second hole segment tk2 are in communication with each other. An inner wall of the first hole segment tk1 is threadedly connected to an outer wall of the second body portion 1212. The third body portion 1213 is snap-fitted within the second hole segment tk2. In some embodiments, the aperture of the first hole segment tk1 and the aperture of the second hole segment tk2 may be the same or different. The second hole segment tk2 may be an equal-diameter hole or not, which is not specifically limited herein. Referring to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, a situation is illustrated where the second hole segment tk2 is an equal-diameter hole. By setting the through hole tk as the first hole segment tk1 and the second hole segment tk2, since the inner wall of the first hole segment tk1 has threads and the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2 has no threads, it helps the threaded connection between the second locking member 122 and the second body portion 1212 while also facilitating the snap-fitting between the third body portion 1213 and the second locking member 122.

[0074] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the third body portion 1213 is constructed to be elastic. Since the third body portion 1213 can undergo elastic deformation under external force and recover after the force is removed. This allows the third body portion 1213 to be connected to the second locking member 122 by elastic snap-fitting. Under the action of the elastic force, it not only facilitates the assembly of the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 but also enhances the reliability of the snap-fit connection.

[0075] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the third body portion 1213 also includes a plurality of sub-body portions 12131. The plurality of sub-body portions 12131 are provided at an end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211 and define a deformable space E. The deformable space E refers to a spatial area enclosed or defined by the plurality of sub-body portions 12131 at the end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211. The deformable space E provides physical accommodation and stretch space for the elastic deformation of the third body portion 1213. When the third body portion 1213 is subjected to an external force, the plurality of sub-body portions 12131 can adapt to the force by deforming through displacement, twisting, stretching, etc., into this deformable space E. By defining the deformable space E, the plurality of sub-body portions 12131can generate a certain elastic restoring force after they snap into the second hole segment tk2, thereby applying a clamping force to the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2. This not only helps the snap-fit between the third body portion 1213 and the second locking member 122 but also further enhances the connection stability between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122.

[0076] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the sub-body portion 12131 has a first end e1 connected to the end of the second body portion 1212 facing away from the first body portion 1211, and a second end e2 opposite to the first end e1. The second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 is constructed as a free end. A free end means that the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 is not directly connected or constrained to other fixed components or structures, is in a relatively free state, and has a certain degree of freedom of movement in space. Due to the lack of direct connection constraints, the free end can move or deform relatively freely when subjected to external forces or its own elasticity. For example, when an external force acts on the third body portion 1213, the free end can perform actions such as swing, bending, extending, or retracting within a certain range, and make corresponding response according to the direction and magnitude of the external force to adapt to changes and stress conditions of the entire structure. This free state of the free end provides flexibility for the functional realization of the entire structure and enables the definition of the aforementioned deformable space E. By constructing the sub-body portion 12131 so that one end is connected to the second body portion 1212 and the other end is a free end, the deformable space E can be defined among the plurality of sub-body portions 12131. When the third body portion 1213 snaps into the second hole segment tk2, the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 can adaptively adjust according to the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2, so as to better conform to the inner wall of the second hole segment tk2. This not only facilitates snapping the third body portion 1213 into the second hole segment tk2 but also helps improve the tightness and stability of the snap-fit. Furthermore, such a sub-body portion 12131 is also easy to manufacture and more helpful to form the deformable space E.

[0077] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, the third body portion 1213 further includes a hook portion 12132 provided at the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131. The hook portion 12132 is configured to snap-fit to a side of the second locking member 122 facing away from the first locking member 121. The hook portion 12132 is a structure located at the second end e2 of the sub-body portion 12131 in the third body portion 1213, which is constructed to engage with the second locking member 122 by snap-fitting. In some embodiments, the hook portion 12132 may have a shape similar to a hook or a snap, capable of hooking or latching onto the second locking member 122 from the side facing away from the first locking member 121, thereby achieving connection and fixation between the third body portion 1213 and the second locking member 122 in this manner. Since the hook portion 12132 can hook the side of the second locking member 122 facing away from the first locking member 121, it can provide a limiting effect, thereby reducing the risk of the second locking member 122 detaching from the first locking member 121, and further improving the reliability of the locking.

[0078] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, along the first direction F1, the guide portion g penetrates both sides of the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1. Thus, during assembly, it facilitates the insertion of the first locking member 121 into the guide portion g from either side of the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1, providing more assembly operation space, thereby reducing installation difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, both sides of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b along the third direction F3 can be movably engaged along the first direction F1. The guide portion g is provided in a middle region of the first plate body 110a. This makes the force distribution on the installation plate assembly 100 more uniform overall, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire installation plate assembly 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 18, FIG. 18 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, wherein the plurality of plate bodies 110 further include a third plate body 110c. The third plate body 110c is provided with a guide portion g extending along the first direction F1. One side of the third plate body 110c along the first direction F1 is provided with an engaging portion p. Thus, a first plate body 110a may be arranged on the side of the third plate body 110c provided with the engaging portion p, and a second plate body 110b may be arranged on the other side of the third plate body 110c along the first direction F1. In some embodiments, in one combined state of the installation plate assembly 100, an arrangement of second plate body 110b, third plate body 110c, first plate body 110a, second plate body 110b may be formed along the first direction F1. Adjacent two plate bodies 110 can be movably connected along the first direction F1. In the use state, multiple locking mechanisms 120 can be used to lock adjacent two plate bodies 110. The locking of the interconnected second plate body 110b and third plate body 110c, and the locking of the interconnected third plate body 110c and first plate body 110a can be understood with reference to the locking of the connected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b illustrated above, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] In some embodiments, taking FIG. 18 as an example, two guide portions g may be provided on the third plate body 110c, with one guide portion g closer to one side of the third plate body 110c along the third direction F3, and the other guide portion g closer to the other side of the third plate body 110c along the third direction F3. The guide portion g on the first plate body 110a is provided in the central region of the first plate body 110a, which can form a more stable installation plate assembly 100. At this time, two engaging portions p may be provided on the side of the first plate body 110a connected to the third plate body 110c. Thus, by providing the third plate body 110c, the installation plate assembly 100 can have a more flexible assembly state.

[0082] It should be noted that in some situations illustrated in the above embodiments, the first plate body 110a is the plate body 110 provided with the guide portion g, the second plate body 110b is the plate body 110 provided with the engaging portion p, and the third plate body 110c is the plate body 110 provided with both the guide portion g and the engaging portion p. Of course, the plurality of plate bodies 110 may also include plate bodies 110 that can be assembled in other forms, which is not specifically limited herein. The length of each plate body 110 in the plurality of plate bodies 110 along the first direction F1 may be the same or different, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0083] In some implementations, referring to FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, FIG. 19 is a perspective structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, FIG. 20 is a partially exploded structural schematic view of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application, the installation plate assembly 100 further includes an installation structure 130. The installation structure 130 is engaged with the corresponding plate body 110 through the installation hole ak. The installation structure 130 is configured to connect with the air duct. By providing the installation structure 130, it not only facilitates faster installation of the air duct but also helps improve the sealing performance at the installation hole ak.

[0084] The assembly process of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application will be exemplarily described below in conjunction with the content illustrated in the above embodiments, but is not limited thereto. The assembly process of the installation plate assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S110: Combining reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 14, provide the first plate body 110a, the second plate body 110b, and the locking mechanism 120;

[0086] Step S120: Combining reference to FIG. 21, assemble the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1, and install them into a sliding rail of a window frame (not shown in the figure);

[0087] Step S130: Combining reference to FIG. 22, movably connect the locking mechanism 120 to the first plate body 110a along the first direction F1 through the guide portion g;

[0088] Step S140: Combining reference to FIG. 1, adjust the relative positions of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b, move the locking mechanism 120 to one side of the second plate body 110b along the first direction F1. When the second body portion 1212 of the first locking member 121 is snap-fitted at the notch q, the second locking member 122 is rotated so that the locking mechanism 120 is in the locked state, the second locking member 122 and the first plate body 110a define the clamping space J for clamping the second plate body 110b, and the interconnected first plate body 110a and second plate body 110b are fixed relative to each other, thereby obtaining the assembled installation plate assembly 100.

[0089] In step S110: The locking mechanism 120 can be provided to the user after being assembled. Combining reference to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and in conjunction with FIG. 17, by using the locking structure illustrated in the foregoing embodiments, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 can be an integrated structure formed by engagement. Thus, the user does not need to assemble the locking mechanism 120, thereby simplifying the user's installation process.

[0090] In steps S120 to S140, since the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b can be movably connected along the first direction F1, and their positions can be adjusted according to the size specifications of the window.

Combined with the notch q engaged with the second plate body 110b, installation can be further simplified and installation efficiency is improved, thereby enhancing the user experience. It should be noted that in the process illustrated above, the locking mechanism 120 may also be installed on the first plate body 110a first; alternatively, the relative positions of the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b may be adjusted before the locking mechanism 120 is installed on the first plate body 110a. Installation can be performed according to the specific usage situation, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0091] In some embodiments, a mobile air conditioner assembly is provided, including a mobile air conditioner and the installation plate assembly 100 according to any of the above embodiments. The mobile air conditioner has an air duct, and one end of the air duct is connected to the installation plate assembly 100 through the installation hole ak. In some embodiments, the air duct includes an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct and air outlet duct are arranged at the window, and their lengths extending out of the window can be adjusted by moving. The lengths of the air inlet duct and air outlet duct extending out of the window can be set according to the usage situation, which is not specifically limited herein, facilitating communication with outdoor air and providing good adaptability. Furthermore, in some embodiments, combining the various implementations of the installation plate assembly 100 illustrated in the above embodiments, one combined state in use may be that the first plate body 110a and the second plate body 110b are alternately arranged along the first direction F1. Other combined states can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here. Since the installation plate assembly 100 has the convenience of production and assembly, it helps the installation of the air duct of the mobile air conditioner, making the overall assembly process more flexible and able to meet the use of windows with different size specifications.

[0092] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way.
