In this specification, the exemplary expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0031] A mobile air conditioner, as the name suggests, is an air conditioner that can be moved at will. The body is fully equipped with a compressor, exhaust fan, electric heater, evaporator, air-cooled finned condenser and other devices. The body is equipped with a power plug, and the base of the casing is equipped with four casters, which allows the air conditioner to be moved at will. However, since the position of a mobile air conditioner can be changed over a large area, the corresponding location of the mobile air conditioner accessories is not convenient. In the related art, after using the mobile air conditioner products on the market, the user needs to find another space to store the installation plate and remote control. There is a problem that the installation plate and remote control are easy to lose and difficult to find the next time they are used.

[0032] To this end, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the mobile air conditioner of the present invention comprises a body 100, a recess 101 provided in the body 100, and a storage slot 102 provided on the outer wall of the body 100. Recess 101 is adapted to accommodate a mounting plate 200, while storage slot 102 is adapted to accommodate a remote control 300. Users can store the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200 in storage slot 102 and recess 101, respectively. Furthermore, the body 100 is provided with a fixing strap 110, with both ends secured to the outer wall of the body 100. The fixing strap 110 is elastic and adapted to wrap around the outer wall of the mounting plate 200, forcing the mounting plate 200 to press against the wall of recess 101 and secure it. Consequently, the storage position of the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200 relative to the body 100 remains constant, making it more convenient for users to access and store the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200.

[0033] In some embodiments, the storage slot 102 and the groove 101 are independent of each other and are not connected. The storage positions of the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200 are relatively independent and do not interfere with each other. In some embodiments, the groove is provided on the outer wall of the fuselage, and the shape of the groove matches the shape of the mounting plate (not shown in the figure). When storing, the user embeds the mounting plate into the groove from above. In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the groove 101 is provided on the outer wall of the fuselage 100. The groove 101 has a bottom wall and a side wall. The user can insert the mounting plate 200 from the left and right sides, the front side or the top side of the groove 101. Furthermore, the storage slot 102 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 101. The storage slot 102 is provided with an opening, and the opening is provided upward. After the user places the remote control 300 into the remote control 300 from above, the remote control 300 is stably stored in the storage slot 102 under the action of gravity. In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the walls of the storage slot 102 and the sidewalls of the recess 101 is less than the thickness of the mounting plate 200. Consequently, after the user stores the mounting plate 200, the bottom surface of the mounting plate 200 is directly above the remote control 300, preventing the remote control 300 from being removed directly from above. It will be readily understood that in some embodiments, the remote control 300 can be removed at an angle. Specifically, when projected vertically, part of the remote control 300's projection area lies outside the projection area of ​​the mounting plate 200. Furthermore, there is no mandatory order for storing the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200, allowing for greater flexibility.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG1 , a storage box 120 is installed on the body 100, and the storage box 120 is provided with a storage slot 102. The storage box 120 is designed to be separate from the body 100, and the storage slot 102 is provided in the storage box 120. This can reduce the difficulty of processing the body 100, thereby reducing the cost of processing and manufacturing. For example, the body does not need to be machined into a storage slot with a closed bottom surface. The body can be machined into a through slot, and the storage box can be embedded and installed in the through slot. In addition, the storage box 120 can be easily removed for cleaning, or removed and replaced to adapt to different sizes of remote controls 300.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the body 100 is provided with two air ducts 130, and the two air ducts 130 are suitable for being stored in the groove 101. It is easy to understand that the air duct 130 is a retractable air duct 130. When in use, the user stretches the air duct 130 so that the outlet of the air duct 130 is aligned with the area that needs to be cooled. When storing, the user retracts the air duct 130, and at this time, the air duct 130 is stored in the groove 101. In some embodiments, the two air ducts 130 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the storage slot 102, so that the remote control 300 is stored between the two air ducts 130, which makes it convenient for the user to access the remote control 300 and the air duct 130, and the operation is more convenient. For example, after the user operates the air duct 130, the continuity of use through the remote control 300 is better.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a fixing strap 110 is disposed on the sidewall of the groove 101. Both ends of the fixing strap 110 are connected to the sidewall of the groove 101. The fixing strap 110 is adapted to press against the outer wall of the mounting plate 200, forcing the mounting plate 200 to abut and secure against the sidewall of the groove 101. This effectively utilizes the space in the groove 101, allowing the groove 101 to simultaneously store and accommodate the remote control 300, the air duct 130, and the mounting plate 200. Similar to the remote control 300, the mounting plate 200 is adapted to be received between two air ducts 130. Specifically, the mounting plate 200 is adapted to be inserted between the two air ducts 130, with one end of the mounting plate 200 facing away from the sidewall of the groove 101 abutting against the two air ducts 130. Thus, the air ducts 130 also serve to limit the mounting plate 200. In some embodiments, the air ducts 130 are adapted to limit the lower portion of the mounting plate 200, while the fixing strap 110 is adapted to limit the upper portion of the mounting plate 200. Specifically, the air duct 130 is tilted after being stored, and the distance between the air duct 130 and the side wall of the groove 101 gradually increases in the vertical upward direction, that is, the upper part of the air duct 130 extends along the side away from the side wall of the groove 101. The lower end of the air duct 130 is provided with an air duct seat. After the mounting plate 200 is inserted, the lower part of the mounting plate 200 extends between the air duct seat and the side wall of the groove 101, and the two sides of the mounting plate 200 respectively abut against the side wall of the groove 101 and the outer wall of the air duct seat. Furthermore, the fixing belt 110 is provided at a position slightly above the side wall of the groove 101, and the fixing belt 110 is suitable for tightening the upper part of the mounting plate 200. In some embodiments, the depth of the groove is greater than or equal to the length of the mounting plate (not shown in the figure), and the mounting plate is located in the groove after being vertically inserted and does not protrude from the groove. In some embodiments, the depth of the groove 101 is less than the length of the mounting plate 200. After the mounting plate 200 is vertically inserted, part of it extends beyond the groove 101, making it convenient for the user to observe the protruding part of the mounting plate 200 from the other side of the fuselage 100 and find the mounting plate 200 more easily.

[0037] The mobile air conditioner accessory storage method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the mobile air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the mobile air conditioner accessory storage method includes the following steps: Storing the remote control: placing the remote control 300 in the storage slot 102; Storing the mounting plate: Before or after storing the remote control 300, inserting the mounting plate 200 into the groove 101 and securing it with the fixing strap 110.

[0038] According to the mobile air conditioner accessories storage method according to an embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the mobile air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user can place the remote control 300 in the storage slot 102 and fix the mounting plate 200 to the groove 101 through the fixing belt 110. As a result, the storage positions of the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200 relative to the body 100 are constant, and the user can more conveniently access the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200, as well as store the remote control 300 and the mounting plate 200.

[0039] Other structures and operations of the mobile air conditioner accessories storage method according to the embodiment of the present invention are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the scope of the present invention.
