[0045] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0046] Hereinafter, an end cap assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 11, the end cover assembly 10 according to the practical embodiment includes: an end cover 11, a lock shaft 12, a reset member 15 and an operating member 13. The end cover 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 113; the lock shaft 12 can be pushed and pulled between a locked position (for example, as shown in Figure 9) and an unlocked position (for example, as shown in Figure 7) relative to the end cover 11; the reset member 15 is used to push the lock shaft 12 from the unlocked position to the locked position; the operating member 13 is connected to the lock shaft 12 and is used to pull the lock shaft 12 from the locked position to the unlocked position; wherein the end cover 11 includes a first limit At least one of the structure 114 and the second limiting structure 115, the first limiting structure 114 is used to cooperate with the operating member 13 when the lock shaft 12 is pushed to the locked position (for example, as shown in Figure 9), so as to limit the operating member 13 to a stored state within the accommodating cavity 113 (as shown in combination with Figure 5); the second limiting structure 115 is used to cooperate with the operating member 13 when the lock shaft 12 is pulled to the unlocked position (for example, as shown in Figure 7), so as to limit the operating member 13 to a pulled-out position at least partially moved out of the accommodating cavity 113 (as shown in combination with Figure 3).

[0048] Therefore, when the end cover 11 includes a first limiting structure 114, the first limiting structure 114 can limit the operating part 13 from escaping from the storage state, so as to improve the stability of the lock shaft 12 in the locked position; when the end cover 11 includes a second limiting structure 115, the second limiting structure 115 can limit the lock shaft 12 from switching from the unlocked position to the locked position, so as to improve the stability of the lock shaft 12 in the unlocked position.

[0049] First, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the window air conditioner 100 includes: an indoor unit component 20, an outdoor unit component 30 and a connecting component 40. The indoor unit component 20 is arranged on the indoor side, and the outdoor unit component 30 is arranged on the outdoor side. The connecting component 40 is used to connect the indoor unit component 20 and the outdoor unit component 30. The outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are rotatably connected around a pivot axis L. After the installation is completed, the window air conditioner 100 is generally in the shape of a saddle, so as to be arranged astride the window on the wall.

[0050] Exemplarily, the outdoor unit component 30 is rotatable relative to the connecting component 40 around the pivot axis L to switch between the installation position shown in Figure 1 and the fixed position shown in Figure 4. In the installation position, the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are located above the horizontal plane where the windowsill is located. In this state, pushing the outdoor unit component 30 to the outdoor side is simpler and more convenient. In the fixed position, most of the outdoor unit component 30 is located below the horizontal plane where the windowsill is located and can be rested on the outer wall to fix the window air conditioner 100. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a certain position during the switching process between the installation position and the fixed position.

[0051] The window air conditioner 100 also includes an end cover assembly 10, which is arranged at the connection between the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 and is connected to one of the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40. The end cover assembly 10 includes an end cover 11 and a lock shaft 12. The end cover 11 is provided with a accommodating cavity 113 open to the outside. The lock shaft 12 is movably mounted on the end cover 11. The lock shaft 12 can be pushed and pulled relative to the end cover 11 between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lock shaft 12 is configured to: in the unlocked position, allow the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 to rotate relative to each other and rotate synchronously with one of the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40; in the locked position, it locks with the other of the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 to prevent the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 from rotating relative to each other.

[0052] For example, the lock shaft 12 can be connected to the connecting component 40 so that the lock shaft 12 can rotate synchronously with the connecting component 40, and the lock shaft 12 can be used to cooperate with the external component 30 to lock the external component 30 with the connecting component 40; or, the lock shaft 12 can be connected to the external component 30 so that the lock shaft 12 can rotate synchronously with the external component 30, and the lock shaft 12 can be used to cooperate with the connecting component 40 to lock the external component 30 with the connecting component 40.

[0053] Thus, the lock shaft 12 can switch between an unlocked state and a locked state, so that the angle between the connecting component 40 and the external component 30 can be adjusted to lock the two at different relative rotation angles, thereby meeting installation requirements and fixing requirements.

[0054] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the end cover assembly 10 also includes a reset member 15 and an operating member 13. The reset member 15 is installed on the end cover 11. The reset member 15 can be provided with a spring, etc. The reset member 15 is used to apply a reset force to the lock shaft 12. The reset force is used to push the lock shaft 12 from the unlocked position to the locked position, so that the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 can maintain a normally locked state, preventing the external component 30 from rotating relative to the connecting component 40 when it is not in the installed state.

[0055] The operating member 13 can be configured as a pull ring, a zipper head, or the like. The operating member 13 is connected to one end of the lock shaft 12 so that a user can pull the lock shaft 12 via the operating member 13 to drive the lock shaft 12 from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the lock shaft 12 is in the locked position, the operating member 13 can be switched to a retracted state, where it can be accommodated within the accommodating cavity 113. When the user pulls the operating member 13 outward, the operating member 13 can drive the lock shaft 12 to switch to the unlocked position, and at least a portion of the operating member 13 can be moved outside the accommodating cavity 113 to switch to the extended position.

[0056] The end cap 11 includes at least one of a first limiting structure 114 and a second limiting structure 115. For example, the first limiting structure 114 may be provided on the end cap 11; or the second limiting structure 115 may be provided on the end cap 11; or the first limiting structure 114 and the second limiting structure 115 may be provided on the end cap 11, and the first limiting structure 114 and the second limiting structure 115 may be staggered, which is not limited in this application.

[0057] The first limiting structure 114 is used to cooperate with the operating member 13 when the lock shaft 12 is pushed to the locked position to limit the operating member 13 in the storage state, thereby preventing the operating member 13 from escaping from the storage state, thereby improving the stability of the lock shaft 12 in the locked position. The second limiting structure 115 is used to limit the operating member 13 in the pulled-out position to lock the lock shaft 12 in the unlocked position, thereby preventing the reset member 15 from driving the lock shaft 12 to switch to the locked position. In this way, the stability of the end cover assembly 10 can be improved.

[0058] According to the end cover assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application, by providing a first limiting structure 114, the first limiting structure 114 can limit the operating member 13 from escaping from the storage state, so as to improve the stability of the lock shaft 12 in the locked position, and avoid interference with the rotation of the external unit component 30 due to the operating member 13 escaping from the accommodating cavity 113, thereby ensuring that the external unit component 30 can rotate smoothly; and by providing a second limiting structure 115, the second limiting structure 115 can limit the lock shaft 12 from switching from the unlocked position to the locked position, so as to improve the stability of the lock shaft 12 in the unlocked position, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the end cover assembly 10.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 114 is a buckle 1141 , and the buckle 1141 stops the operating member 13 to prevent the operating member 13 from moving out of the accommodating cavity 113 .

[0060] For example, as shown in FIG3 , the first limiting structure 114 can be constructed as a buckle 1141, which is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the accommodating cavity 113 and protrudes inward. When the operating member 13 is switched to the storage state, the buckle 1141 can be used to stop the portion of the operating member 13 located in the accommodating cavity 113, thereby preventing the operating member 13 from moving out of the accommodating cavity 113. In this way, the limiting reliability of the first limiting structure 114 can be ensured, and the first limiting structure 114 has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and helps reduce costs.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the end cover 11 includes an end plate 111 and a surrounding plate 112, and the surrounding plate 112 is arranged around the end plate 111 to form a accommodating cavity 113 between the end plate 111 and the surrounding plate 112. The lock shaft 12 passes through the end plate 111, and the buckle 1141 is connected to the surrounding plate 112 and is spaced apart from the end plate 111 to form a locking space 116 between the buckle 1141 and the end plate 111. A part of the operating member 13 is suitable for extending into the locking space 116 to be stopped by the buckle 1141 (for example, as shown in Figure 9).

[0062] For example, referring to Figures 6 and 7, the end cover 11 includes an end plate 111 and a surrounding plate 112. The surrounding plate 112 is arranged along the edge of the end plate 111 and surrounds the end plate 111 and protrudes from the side wall of the end plate 111 to form a accommodating cavity 113 between the end plate 111 and the position. The lock shaft 12 is suitable for passing through the end plate 111 along its own axial direction. One end of the lock shaft 12 extending to the accommodating cavity 113 is connected to the operating member 13 and the other end is used to lock the connecting component 40 and the external unit component 30.

[0063] The buckle 1141 is connected to the enclosure 112 and spaced apart from the end plate 111, forming a locking space 116 between the buckle 1141 and the end plate 111. Preferably, the buckle 1141 is disposed at the end of the enclosure 112 facing away from the end plate 111. When the operating member 13 is switched to the storage state, the operating member 13 can be stored in the accommodating cavity 113, and a portion of the operating member 13 can extend into the locking space 116, so that the buckle 1141 can stop the operating member 13, thereby preventing the operating member 13 from leaving the storage state.

[0064] It can be understood that by spacing the buckle 1141 and the end plate 111 apart, the operating member 13 can have a larger movement space, which is conducive to increasing the size of the operating member 13 so that the operating member 13 is easy to hold.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the operating member 13 is rotatable relative to the lock shaft 12 , and the end of the operating member 13 away from the lock shaft 12 is adapted to extend into the locking space 116 to be stopped by the buckle 1141 (eg, as shown in FIG. 9 ).

[0066] For example, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, one end of the operating member 13 can be rotatably connected to the lock shaft 12, so that the operating member 13 can rotate relative to the lock shaft 12. For example, the operating member 13 can be rotated in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 113 so that a larger portion of the operating member 13 can extend out of the accommodating cavity 113 for easy handholding. At this time, the operating member 13 can be driven to move outward to drive the lock shaft 12 to switch to the unlocked position; and when the reset member 15 drives the lock shaft 12 to move to the locked position, the operating member 13 can be driven to rotate in a direction close to the accommodating cavity 113 so that the operating member 13 can switch to the stored state and be stored in the accommodating cavity 113.

[0067] The buckle 1141 and the lock shaft 12 can be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the accommodating cavity 113. When the operating member 13 is switched to the storage state, the end of the operating member 13 away from the lock shaft 12 can extend into the locking space 116 to be stopped by the buckle 1141.

[0068] It can be understood that by setting the operating member 13 to a rotating form, the operating member 13 can be rotated to move a larger part of the operating member 13 out of the accommodating cavity 113 for easy holding, and by setting the buckle 1141, the end of the operating member 13 away from the lock shaft 12 can be stopped, which can improve the limiting reliability of the operating member 13.

[0069] It should be noted that the operating member 13 being rotatable relative to the lock shaft 12 is understood in a broad sense. The operating member 13 can be a rigid member as a whole and rotate with the lock shaft 12, or the operating member 13 can also be a flexible structure at the root position connected to the lock shaft 12, and the other positions are rigid, and rotation is achieved through deformation of the flexible position.

[0070] Of course, the present application is not limited to this. For example, in some other embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 114 can also be set as a magnetic structure and suitable for magnetically cooperating with the operating part 13. For example, the first limiting structure 114 can be set as a magnetic structure so that the first limiting structure 114 can be magnetically cooperating with the operating part 13. Exemplarily, the first limiting structure 114 can be constructed as a magnet and the operating part 13 can be set as a magnetic metal part. When the operating part 13 is switched to the storage state, the first limiting structure 114 can be magnetically cooperating with the operating part 13 to fix the operating part 13 in the storage state. In this way, the convenience of operation can be improved, which is conducive to eliminating noise during operation.

[0071] Alternatively, for example, in some other embodiments of the present application, the operating member 13 has a spring buckle, and the first limiting structure 114 is a slot, a hole or a block and is suitable for engaging with the spring buckle.

[0072] For example, a spring catch can be provided on the operating member 13. Furthermore, the first retaining structure 114 can be configured as a slot; alternatively, the first retaining structure 114 can be configured as a retaining hole; or alternatively, the first retaining structure 114 can be configured as a retaining block, which is not limited in this application. When the operating member 13 is switched to the retracted state, the first retaining structure 114 is adapted to engage with the spring catch to secure the operating member 13 to the first retaining structure 114, thereby securing the operating member 13 in the retracted state. This improves the reliability of the first retaining structure 114.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the end cover 11 includes an end plate 111, the lock shaft 12 passes through the end plate 111, the operating member 13 is located on the first side 111a of the end plate 111, and the second limiting structure 115 is a protrusion 1151 protruding to the first side 111a. When the operating member 13 moves to the pulled-out position, the protrusion 1151 stops on the side of the operating member 13 close to the end plate 111 (for example, as shown in Figure 7).

[0074] For example, as shown in Figure 7, the end cover 11 includes an end plate 111, and the lock shaft 12 is suitable for axially passing through the end plate 111, and the side of the end plate 111 facing the accommodating cavity 113 is the first side 111a. The operating member 13 is located on the first side 111a of the end plate 111, and the second limiting structure 115 is constructed as a protrusion 1151 protruding to the first side 111a. When the operating member 13 moves outward to pull the lock shaft 12 to switch to the unlocked position, the operating member 13 can be rotated to switch the operating member 13 to the pulled-out position, so that the side of the operating member 13 close to the end plate 111 can be supported on the protrusion 1151, so that the protrusion 1151 can fix the operating member 13 in the pulled-out position. It should be noted that the side of the protrusion 1151 facing away from the end plate 111 can be constructed as a plane. As a result, the structure of the second limiting structure 115 is simple and convenient for limiting.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, there are two protrusions 1151 and they are arranged at intervals to define an avoidance space 117 between the two protrusions 1151. The mounting end 12a of the lock shaft 12 is arranged corresponding to the avoidance space 117. The operating member 13 is rotatably inserted into the mounting end 12a so as to be rotatable between a flat angle (for example, as shown in Figure 9) and a standing angle (for example, as shown in Figure 7). The lock shaft 12 is rotatable around its own axis relative to the end cover 11 between a first angle and a second angle. When the lock shaft 12 is rotated to the first angle and the operating member 13 is rotated to the flat angle (for example, as shown in Figure 9), a part of the operating member 13 can be located in the avoidance space 117 and be in a stored state; and when the lock shaft 12 is rotated to the second angle and the operating member 13 is rotated to the standing angle (for example, as shown in Figure 7), the operating member 13 can be supported on the two protrusions 1151 to be limited in the pulled-out position.

[0076] For example, as shown in Figures 3, 5, and 7, two protrusions 1151 can be provided, and the two protrusions 1151 are spaced apart, such as being disposed on opposite sides of the lock shaft 12, so as to define an escape space 117 between the two protrusions 1151. The mounting end 12a of the lock shaft 12 is disposed corresponding to the escape space 117, and one end of the operating member 13 is rotatably disposed through the mounting end 12a, so that the operating member 13 can rotate between a flat angle and a standing angle, and the lock shaft 12 is configured to rotate between a first angle and a second angle about its own axis relative to the end cover 11.

[0077] Among them, when the lock shaft 12 rotates to the first angle and the operating member 13 rotates to the flat angle, the operating member 13 is staggered with the two protrusions 1151, and a part of the operating member 13 can be located in the avoidance space 117 and is in a stored state; and when the lock shaft 12 rotates to the second angle and the operating member 13 rotates to the upright angle, the operating member 13 is opposite to the two protrusions 1151, and the operating member 13 can be supported on the two protrusions 1151 to be limited in the pulled-out position.

[0078] During the specific working process, as shown in Figure 5, when the connecting part 40 and the external part 30 need to be locked, the lock shaft 12 can be rotated to the first angle, and the reset part 15 can drive the lock shaft 12 to move to the locked position. At this time, the operating part 13 can be rotated relative to the lock shaft 12 toward the end plate 111 to a flat angle, and a part of the operating part 13 can be located in the avoidance space 117 to avoid the protrusion 1151, so that the operating part 13 can be stored in the accommodating cavity 113, and the first limiting structure 114 can cooperate with the operating part 13 to limit the operating part 13 in the storage state.

[0079] As shown in Figure 3, when the connecting part 40 and the external part 30 need to be unlocked, the operating part 13 can be rotated relative to the lock shaft 12 in the direction away from the end plate 111 to an upright angle, so that at least part of the operating part 13 is located outside the accommodating cavity 113, and then the lock shaft 12 can be pulled to the unlocked position by the operating part 13, and then the lock shaft 12 can be driven to rotate to the second angle, so that the operating part 13 can be supported on the two protrusions 1151 to be limited in the pulled-out position, thereby fixing the lock shaft 12 in the unlocked position.

[0080] Through the above arrangement, the two protrusions 1151 can support the operating member 13 from both sides to improve the stability of the operating member 13 when it is in the pulled-out position, and can also meet the storage and avoidance requirements of the operating member 13. The design is ingenious and highly practical.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 5, each protrusion 1151 is formed in a shape with a middle portion concave in a direction away from the other protrusion 1151, the operating member 13 is in the shape of a pull ring and the portion connected to the lock shaft 12 is the root of the operating member 13. In combination with Figure 3, when the operating member 13 is supported on the two protrusions 1151, the root of the operating member 13 is stuck in the concave area of ​​the two protrusions 1151.

[0082] For example, as shown in FIG3 , each protrusion 1151 can be configured to be concave in a direction away from the other protrusion 1151, such as by configuring the protrusion 1151 to be in a broken line shape. The operating member 13 can be configured as a pull ring, and the portion of the operating member 13 connected to the lock shaft 12 can be configured as the root of the operating member 13. When the operating member 13 is supported on the two protrusions 1151, the two sides of the root of the operating member 13 can be respectively engaged with the concave areas of the two protrusions 1151, so that the protrusions 1151 can limit the position of the operating member 13. This can improve the limiting stability of the protrusions 1151 and make the operating member 13 easier to hold.

[0083] Of course, the present application is not limited to this. The protrusion 1151 may also be configured as an arc; or a groove may be provided in the middle of the protrusion 1151. When the operating member 13 is supported on the two protrusions 1151, a portion of the operating member 13 extends into the groove and engages with the sidewalls of the groove. This facilitates meeting different working conditions.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figures 3 and 5, the end cover 11 also includes a surrounding plate 112, which is arranged around the end plate 111 to form a accommodating cavity 113 between the end plate 111 and the surrounding plate 112, and one of the two protrusions 1151 is located in the accommodating cavity 113 and separated from the surrounding plate 112, and the other is defined by a part of the surrounding plate 112.

[0085] For example, referring to Figures 3 and 7, the end cover 11 also includes a panel 112, which is arranged along the edge of the end plate 111 around the end plate 111 and protrudes from one side of the end plate 111 to form a receiving cavity 113 between the end plate 111 and the panel 112. One of the two protrusions 1151 is arranged in the receiving cavity 113 and is spaced apart from the panel 112, and the other is partially defined by the panel 112. When the operating member 13 moves to the pulled-out position, one side of the root of the operating member 13 can be supported on the protrusion 1151 provided in the receiving cavity 113, and the other side can be supported on the panel 112. Through the above arrangement, the structure of the end plate 111 can be simplified, the processing difficulty of the end plate 111 can be reduced, and it is beneficial to save space and improve space utilization.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, a mounting structure 14 is provided on the end cover 11, and a through hole 143 is defined in the mounting structure 14. The lock shaft 12 is axially passed through the through hole 143 and has a shoulder 123 on the lock shaft 12. The reset member 15 is a spring provided in the through hole 143 and sleeved on the outside of the lock shaft 12. The spring is clamped between the shoulder 123 and the mounting structure 14 along the compression direction. The axial ends of the lock shaft 12 respectively pass through the outside of the mounting structure 14, and one end is connected to the operating member 13, and the other end is used for locking.

[0087] For example, as shown in Figures 6-9, a mounting structure 14 can be provided on the end cap 11. The mounting structure 14 extends through the end cap 11 along its thickness. A through-hole 143 is defined within the mounting structure 14, and the lock shaft 12 is axially movable within the through-hole 143. The lock shaft 12 includes a first shaft segment 121 and a second shaft segment 122 arranged in sequence in a direction away from the operating member 13. The diameter of the first shaft segment 121 is smaller than the diameter of the second shaft segment 122, thereby forming a shaft shoulder 123 on the lock shaft 12.

[0088] The reset member 15 is constructed as a spring, which is inserted into the through-hole 143 and sleeved on the first shaft section 121 of the lock shaft 12. The end of the mounting structure 14 near the operating member 13 is provided with an inwardly protruding limit portion 143. The spring is clamped between the limit portion 143 and the shaft shoulder 123 along the compression direction. The spring is in a compressed state and is used to apply an elastic force to the lock shaft 12 away from the operating member 13 so that the lock shaft 12 has a tendency to move toward the locked position. The axial ends of the lock shaft 12 respectively extend outside the mounting structure 14. One end of the lock shaft 12 is connected to the operating member 13, and the other end is used to cooperate with one of the connecting component 40 and the external unit component 30 to lock the connecting component 40 and the external unit component 30.

[0089] Through the above arrangement, the installation stability of the reset member 15 can be improved, and the difficulty of assembling the reset member 15 can be reduced, thereby improving the practicality of the end cover assembly 10.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting structure 14 includes a bolt 141 and a nut 142 . The bolt 141 passes through the end cover 11 and cooperates with the nut 142 to be locked to the end cover 11 . The bolt 141 defines a through hole 143 .

[0091] For example, as shown in FIG7 , the mounting structure 14 includes a bolt 141 and a nut 142. The nut 142 is connected to the side of the end cover 11 facing away from the accommodating cavity 113. The bolt 141 is disposed through the end cover 11, and one end of the bolt 141 can extend to the side of the end cover 11 facing away from the accommodating cavity 113 and threadedly engage with the nut 142 to secure the bolt 141 to the end cover 11. The bolt 141 is constructed as a hollow member and defines a through-hole 143. This arrangement improves the installation stability of the mounting structure 14, reduces installation difficulty and processing difficulty, and enhances the practicality of the end cover assembly 10.

[0092] The present application also proposes a window-type air conditioner 100 .

[0093] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, a window air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes: an indoor unit component 20 suitable for being arranged on the indoor side, an outdoor unit component 30 suitable for being arranged on the outdoor side, and a connecting component 40 connecting the indoor unit component 20 and the outdoor unit component 30. The outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are rotatably connected around a pivot axis L. The outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are rotatably connected at a position and at least one of the two ends along the pivot axis L. An end cap assembly 10 according to any of the above embodiments is provided. The lock shaft 12 allows the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 to rotate relative to each other in the unlocked position. The lock shaft 12 is locked with one of the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 in the locked position to prevent the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 from rotating relative to each other.

[0094] First, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the window air conditioner 100 includes: an indoor unit component 20, an outdoor unit component 30 and a connecting component 40. The indoor unit component 20 is arranged on the indoor side, and the outdoor unit component 30 is arranged on the outdoor side. The connecting component 40 is used to connect the indoor unit component 20 and the outdoor unit component 30. The outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are rotatably connected around a pivot axis L. After the installation is completed, the window air conditioner 100 is generally in the shape of a saddle and is arranged astride a wall.

[0095] Exemplarily, the outdoor unit component 30 is rotatable relative to the connecting component 40 around the pivot axis L to switch between the installation position shown in Figure 1 and the fixed position shown in Figure 4. In the installation position, the outdoor unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are located above the horizontal plane where the windowsill is located. In this state, pushing the outdoor unit component 30 to the outdoor side is simpler and more convenient. In the fixed position, most of the outdoor unit component 30 is located below the horizontal plane where the windowsill is located and can be rested on the outer wall to fix the window air conditioner 100. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a certain position during the switching process between the installation position and the fixed position.

[0096] The window air conditioner 100 also includes an end cover assembly 10, which is arranged at the position where the external unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are rotatably connected. The end cover assembly 10 can be one, and one end cover assembly 10 is arranged at one end of the external unit component 30 (or the connecting component 40) along the pivot axis L. The end cover assembly 10 can also be two, and the two end cover assemblies 10 are respectively arranged at both ends of the external unit component 30 (or the connecting component 40) along the pivot axis L.

[0097] The end cap assembly 10 includes a locking shaft 12, which can be pushed and pulled between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking shaft 12 is configured to: in the unlocked position, allow the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 to rotate relative to each other and rotate synchronously with one of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40; in the locked position, lock and cooperate with the other of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 to prevent the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 from rotating relative to each other.

[0098] For example, when in the unlocked position, the lock shaft 12 can move synchronously with the connecting component 40, and when in the installation position and the fixed position, the lock shaft 12 can be switched to the locked position, and the lock shaft 12 cooperates with the external component 30 to lock; or when in the unlocked position, the lock shaft 12 can move synchronously with the external component 30, and when in the installation position and the fixed position, the lock shaft 12 can be switched to the locked position, and the lock shaft 12 cooperates with the connecting component 40 to lock.

[0099] Thus, the lock shaft 12 can switch between an unlocked state and a locked state, so that the angle between the connecting component 40 and the external component 30 can be adjusted, and the two can be locked at different relative rotation angles, thereby meeting installation requirements and fixing requirements.

[0100] Of course, this application does not impose any specific restrictions on the angular interval between the installation position and the fixed position, and one or more hovering positions can also be set between the installation position and the fixed position so that the external unit component 30 can be adjusted based on the angle of the outer wall surface of the wall.

[0101] It can be understood that in the embodiment in which the external unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 are rotatably matched, the end cover assembly 10 is arranged at both ends of the external unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 along the pivot axis L, which not only improves the aesthetics of the window air conditioner 100, but also allows the end cover 11 to be located in an area that is easily accessible to the user.

[0102] More importantly, the end cover assembly 10 is located at both ends of the external unit component 30 along the pivot axis L, which can reasonably utilize the space of the window air conditioner 100 and set the lock shaft 12 adjacent to the pivot axis L to avoid interference between the lock shaft 12 and the surrounding boundary components. The lock shaft 12 is used to directly switch between the relative moving part between the external unit component 30 and the connecting component 40 for locking and unlocking. The distance is shorter, the state switching can be achieved faster, and there is no need to set up more transmission parts. The structure is simpler and the cost is lower.

[0103] According to the window air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the setting position of the lock shaft 12 on the end cover 11 is more reasonable, and the space occupied is smaller. While reducing costs, the adjustment process of the connecting component 40 and the external unit component 30 can be easier to control, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the window air conditioner 100.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, the end cover 11 is fixed on one of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40, and a lock hole 53 is provided on the other of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40. The lock hole 53 is offset from the pivot axis L and is used to lock with the lock shaft 12.

[0105] For example, referring to Figures 10-11, the end cover 11 is fixed to one of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 so that the lock shaft 12 can rotate synchronously. A lock hole 53 is provided on the other of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40. The lock hole 53 is offset from the pivot axis L. When the external component 30 is rotated to a fixed position or an installation position relative to the connecting component 40, the lock shaft 12 can be passed through the lock hole 53 and locked with the other of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 to lock the external component 30 and the connecting component 40.

[0106] It can be understood that the end cover 11 is fixed on the external machine component 30 or the connecting component 40, and the end cover 11 and the external machine component 30 or the end cover 11 and the connecting component 40 move synchronously, and the end cover 11 and the connecting component 40 or the end cover 11 and the external machine component 30 remain relatively stationary, which can improve the fixing stability of the end cover 11 and avoid the end cover 11 from falling off during the switching of the external machine component 30 between the installation position and the fixed position, or during the frequent switching of the state of the lock shaft 12. The lock shaft 12 is eccentrically arranged on the end cover 11 and rotates synchronously with the end cover 11, which can also improve the working stability and reliability of the lock shaft 12.

[0107] Illustratively, one of the external component 30 and the connecting component 40 is provided with a first hinge seat 50, and the other is provided with a second hinge seat 60. The first hinge seat 50 and the second hinge seat 60 are hingedly connected by a rotating shaft structure 70 so that the external component 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting component 40.

[0108] The first hinge seat 50 and the second hinge seat 60 can be rotatably engaged with each other via a rotating shaft structure 70. For example, the rotating shaft structure 70 can be provided as a rotating shaft that passes through the first hinge seat 50 and the second hinge seat 60 to achieve the rotational engagement. Alternatively, one of the first hinge seat 50 and the second hinge seat 60 can be provided with a rotating shaft portion (e.g., a columnar protrusion) and the other can be provided with a groove portion (e.g., a rotating shaft hole) that engages with the rotating shaft portion to achieve the rotational engagement.

[0109] It should be pointed out that the hinge seat provided with a lock hole 53 is defined as the first hinge seat 50, and the second hinge seat 60 is provided with an avoidance hole 63. The end cover 11 rotates synchronously with the second hinge seat 60, and the lock shaft 12 extending out of the avoidance hole 63 cooperates with the lock hole 53 to achieve locking of the external unit component 30. The lock hole 53 is formed on the hinge seat provided with a rotating shaft structure 70, which can simplify the structure, improve the structural compactness of the window air conditioner 100, and reduce the space occupied by the window air conditioner 100, especially the external unit component 30.

[0110] Among them, the first hinge seat 50 includes two first support plates 52 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the pivot axis L, and the second hinge seat 60 includes a second support plate 62 located on the side of each first support plate 52 away from the other first support plate 52. One of the two first support plates 52 close to the end cover 11 is provided with a lock hole 53, and one of the two second support plates 62 close to the end cover 11 is provided with an avoidance hole 63.

[0111] Specifically, the first hinge seat 50 may include: a first plate body 51 and a first support plate 52 located on both sides of the first plate body 51, the first plate body 51 is connected to one of the connecting component 40 and the external machine component 30, the second hinge seat 60 may include: a second plate body 61 and a second support plate 62 located on both sides of the second plate body 61, the second plate body 61 is correspondingly connected to the other of the external machine component 30 and the connecting component 40, the two first support plates 52 are located on the inner sides of the two second support plates 62, the first support plate 52 and the second support plate 62 are pivotally matched through the rotating shaft structure 70, a lock hole 53 is opened on the first support plate 52 close to the end cover 11, and an avoidance hole 63 is opened on the second support plate 62 close to the end cover 11.
