Description

Duct mounting plate and portable air conditioner assembly for portable air conditioners

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202420871998.1, filed on April 24, 2024; and to Chinese Patent Application No. 202420873417.8, filed on April 24, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a duct mounting plate for a portable air conditioner and a portable air conditioner assembly. Background Technology

[0003] When a portable air conditioner is fixedly installed on a window, a suitable structure needs to be selected based on the window size and installation location. Different duct mounting plates also need to be designed for different types of windows. The duct mounting plate is used for the installation of the air inlet and outlet ducts of the portable air conditioner.

[0004] The dimensions of the duct mounting plate for portable air conditioners are generally set according to the window size, and the dimensions of the duct mounting plate are fixed, which results in poor adaptability of the duct mounting plate for portable air conditioners.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] This disclosure aims to solve the compatibility problem of duct mounting plates and the problem of adjusting and fixing the connection length between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate.

[0007] In some aspects, a duct mounting plate for a portable air conditioner is provided, comprising a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, and a locking mechanism. The first mounting plate has a ventilation hole, and one end of the duct of the portable air conditioner is connected to the ventilation hole. The second mounting plate at least partially overlaps the first mounting plate, forming an overlapping area. The locking mechanism is disposed in the overlapping area of ​​the first and second mounting plates. The locking mechanism has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the positions of the first and second mounting plates are fixed. When the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the first mounting plate is movable relative to the second mounting plate. The first mounting plate has a mounting hole. The second mounting plate has a limiting groove. The locking mechanism includes a first locking member and a second locking member. The first locking member has a first end and a second end, the first end being slidably disposed in the limiting groove, and the second end passing through the mounting hole. The second locking member is sleeved on the second end of the first locking member and can move along a direction perpendicular to the length of the first end to increase or decrease the distance to the first end of the first locking member, thereby switching the locking state and the unlocking state of the locking mechanism.

[0008] This duct mounting plate for portable air conditioners allows adjustment of the relative positions of the first and second mounting plates, thereby adjusting the length of their connection to accommodate windows of different sizes. Furthermore, the first and second mounting plates are connected by a locking mechanism, which secures their relative positions and facilitates installation and removal. When the first and second mounting plates are adjusted to the appropriate connection position, the first end of the first locking member can slide within the limiting groove. Therefore, by first pushing the first locking member to the desired connection position, and then locking it in place by the second locking member, the stability and firmness of the connection between the first and second mounting plates are improved.

[0009] In other aspects, a portable air conditioner assembly is provided, including a portable air conditioner and the aforementioned duct mounting plate for the portable air conditioner. The portable air conditioner has a duct. One end of the duct is connected to the ventilation opening. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, clearly and completely describes some embodiments of this disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this disclosure are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0034] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular "comprises" and the present participle "comprising," are interpreted as open-ended and encompassing, meaning "including, but not limited to." In the description of the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0035] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0036] In describing some embodiments, the terms "coupled" and "connected," and their derivative expressions, may be used. The term "connected" should be interpreted broadly; for example, a "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates that two or more components have direct physical or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that do not have direct contact with each other but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content of this document.

[0037] "At least one of A, B and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B or C", both including the following combinations of A, B and C: only A, only B, only C, combinations of A and B, combinations of A and C, combinations of B and C, and combinations of A, B and C.

[0038] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.

[0039] The use of “applies to” or “configured to” in this article implies an open and inclusive language that does not preclude applicability to or configuration to devices that perform additional tasks or steps.

[0040] As used herein, “about,” “approximately,” or “approximately” includes the stated value and the average value within an acceptable range of deviation from the given value, wherein the acceptable range of deviation is determined by a person skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of the given quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

[0041] As used herein, “parallel,” “perpendicular,” and “equal” include the described situation and situations that are similar to the described situation, within an acceptable range of deviation, which is determined by those skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “parallel” includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate parallelism may be, for example, within 5°; “perpendicular” includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate perpendicularity may also be, for example, within 5°; “equal” includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate equality may be, for example, a difference between the two equals being less than or equal to 5% of either one.

[0042] Typically, the dimensions of the duct mounting plate for portable air conditioners are set according to the window size, and the dimensions of the duct mounting plate are fixed. This results in poor adaptability of the duct mounting plate for portable air conditioners, making it inconvenient to install and remove the duct mounting plate from the window.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a duct mounting plate 100 for a portable air conditioner is provided to improve the adaptability of the duct mounting plate 100 and facilitate the installation and removal of the duct mounting plate from the window.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the duct mounting plate 100 includes a first mounting plate 10. The first mounting plate 10 is connected to a window. In this way, the duct of the portable air conditioner can be easily connected to the window through the first mounting plate 10, thereby facilitating the fixing of the portable air conditioner duct.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 10 is provided with ventilation holes 11. One end of the air duct of the portable air conditioner is connected to the ventilation hole 11. This allows outdoor air to enter the portable air conditioner through the ventilation hole 11 for heat exchange, and also allows the heat-exchanged air to be sent out to the outside through the ventilation hole 11.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the duct mounting plate 100 includes a second mounting plate 20. The second mounting plate 20 is connected to a window, so that the duct of the portable air conditioner can be easily connected to the window through the second mounting plate 20, thereby further improving the stability of the portable air conditioner duct.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second mounting plate 20 at least partially overlaps the first mounting plate 10, and the second mounting plate 20 and the first mounting plate 10 form an overlapping area. Thus, a portion of the first mounting plate 10 and a portion of the second mounting plate 20 form a stacked structure. Therefore, by adjusting the size of the overlapping area between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, the connection length between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be adjusted, improving the adaptability of the duct mounting plate 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the duct mounting plate 100 includes a locking mechanism 30.

[0049] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 is disposed in the overlapping area of ​​the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20. This not only facilitates the connection of the locking mechanism 30 to the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 respectively, but also increases the strength of the connection between the locking mechanism 30 and the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 respectively.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the locking mechanism 30 is disposed in the overlapping area of ​​the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, thereby locking the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, so that the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be connected into a whole. This improves the overall connection strength of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, and also facilitates the disassembly of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, thereby facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0051] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 30 is in the locked state, the positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are fixed relative to each other. When the locking mechanism 30 is in the unlocked state, the first mounting plate 10 can move relative to the second mounting plate 20, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the second mounting plate 20.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a first stop 12 is provided on the top of the first mounting plate 10. The first stop 12 can limit the position of the top of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the side of the window, thereby preventing the top of the first mounting plate 10 from being misaligned or moved with the side of the window.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, a second stop 21 is provided on the top of the second mounting plate 20. Since the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are relatively long after being connected by the locking mechanism 30, the second stop 21 on the top of the second mounting plate 20 further restricts the position of the top of the second mounting plate 20 relative to the window. By using the first stop 12 and the second stop 21 to stop on one side of the window, misalignment of the installation positions of the tops of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 relative to the window can be prevented, and the accuracy and stability of the installation positions of the tops of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 relative to the window can be improved.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, the bottom of the first mounting plate 10 is provided with a first mating part 14, which facilitates the connection and mating of the bottom of the first mounting plate 10 with the window frame. The bottom of the second mounting plate 20 is provided with a second mating part 22, which facilitates the connection and mating of the bottom of the second mounting plate 20 with the window frame. The first mating part 14 and the second mating part 22 are used to mate with the window frame, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the bottom of the first mounting plate 10 and the bottom of the second mounting plate 20 and the window frame.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first stop 12 is configured as a first stop plate. For example, the first stop 12 is configured as a first stop plate. The first stop plate can serve as a stop, and can stop on one side of the top edge of the window, thereby stopping the position of the top of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the top of the window, improving the accuracy and stability of the installation of the top of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the top of the window. Moreover, when the first stop plate stops on one side of the top edge of the window, the first stop plate can increase the contact area between the first mounting plate 10 and the top of the window, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the first stop plate and the top of the window.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second stop 21 is configured as a second stop plate. For example, the second stop 21 is configured as a second stop plate. The second stop plate can serve as a stop, and can stop on the same side of the top edge of the window, thereby stopping the position of the top of the second mounting plate 20 relative to the top of the window, improving the accuracy and stability of the installation of the top of the second mounting plate 20 relative to the top of the window. Moreover, when the second stop plate stops on one side of the top edge of the window, the second stop plate can increase the contact area between the second mounting plate 20 and the top of the window, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the second stop plate and the top of the window.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first stop 12 is configured as a first stop plate, and the second stop 21 is configured as a second stop plate. When the first mounting plate 10 moves relative to the second mounting plate 20, the first stop plate can move relative to the second stop plate. By adjusting the size of the overlapping area of ​​the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, the size of the overlapping area of ​​the first stop plate and the second stop plate can be adjusted so that the top edges of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can remain in contact with the top edge of the window.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first mating portion 14 has a first mating groove 141. The second mating portion 22 has a second mating groove 221. For example, the first mating portion 14 has a first mating groove 141. One side of the bottom of the window can extend into and slide relative to the first mating groove 14. The first mating groove 141 facilitates a tighter and more stable fit between the bottom of the first mounting plate 10 and the bottom of the window. The second mating portion 22 has a second mating groove 221. One side of the bottom of the window can extend into and slide relative to the second mating groove 221. The second mating groove 221 facilitates a tighter and more stable fit between the bottom of the second mounting plate 20 and the bottom of the window.

[0059] Therefore, the duct mounting plate 100 of this portable air conditioner not only facilitates the installation of the duct, but also prevents the tops of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 from intersecting with the top of the window, improving the accuracy and stability of the installation of the tops of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 with the top of the window. It also further enhances the stability of the connection between the bottom of the first mounting plate 10 and the bottom of the second mounting plate 20 and the window frame. This also prevents misalignment and movement of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 during installation with the window.

[0060] According to some disclosed embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-5, both the first stop plate and the second stop plate are constructed as flat plates, and the first stop plate and the second stop plate at least partially stop each other in the front-rear direction.

[0061] For example, both the first and second stop plates are designed as flat, rectangular plates. This allows for a smoother and tighter connection between both the first and second stop plates and the top of the window.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the first mounting plate 10 slides relative to the second mounting plate 20, the first stop plate can slide relative to the second stop plate, and the size of the overlap area between the first stop plate and the second stop plate can be adjusted. In the overlap area between the first stop plate and the second stop plate, the first stop plate and the second stop plate at least partially stop each other in the front-back direction, thereby improving the stopping effect on the window.

[0063] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, a first guide portion 101 is provided on the top of the first mounting plate 10. A second guide portion 23 is provided on the top of the second mounting plate 20. The first guide portion 101 and the second guide portion 23 are guided and engaged, a first stop plate is connected to the first guide portion 101, and a second stop plate is connected to the second guide portion 23.

[0064] For example, the first guide portion 101 can be configured as a downward protrusion, and the second guide portion 23 can be configured as an upwardly open groove. Alternatively, the first guide portion 101 can be configured as a downwardly open groove, and the second guide portion 23 can be configured as an upward protrusion. In this way, the protrusion can slide within the groove, which not only serves as a guide but also facilitates the adjustment of the positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, thus saving effort.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first stop portion 12 may be connected to the side edge of the first guide portion 101 away from the first mounting plate 10. The first stop portion 12 may extend upward from the side edge of the first guide portion 101 away from the first mounting plate 10. The top of the first stop portion 12 may be higher than the top of the first mounting plate 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second stop 21 may be connected to the side edge of the second guide 23 away from the second mounting plate 20. The second stop 21 may extend downward from the side edge of the second guide 23 away from the second mounting plate 20. The bottom of the second stop 21 may be flush with the bottom of the second mounting plate 20.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG1, the first mating part 14 is slidably disposed in the second mating groove 221, or the second mating part 22 is slidably disposed in the first mating groove 141.

[0068] For example, the first mating part 14 can be configured as a protrusion. The second mating groove 221 can be configured as a recess. The protrusion and the recess slide relative to each other, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the first mating part 14.

[0069] In this way, the first mating part 14 can fit more tightly with the second mating groove 221, thereby improving the sealing performance with the window frame.

[0070] Moreover, if the first mating part 14 is damaged or needs to be replaced, the first mating part 14 can be easily slid out without disassembling the entire window frame.

[0071] For example, the second mating part 22 can be configured as a protrusion. The first mating groove 141 can be configured as a recess. The protrusion and the recess slide relative to each other, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the second mating part 22.

[0072] In this way, the second mating part 22 can fit more tightly with the first mating groove 141, thereby improving the sealing performance with the window frame.

[0073] Moreover, if the second mating part 22 is damaged or needs to be replaced, the second mating part 22 can be easily slid out without disassembling the entire window frame.

[0074] In some embodiments, a roller may be provided between the first mating part 14 and the second mating groove 221. In this way, the original sliding friction can be converted into rolling friction, thereby making it easier to adjust the position between the first mating part 14 and the second mating groove 221.

[0075] In some embodiments, a roller may be provided between the second mating part 22 and the first mating groove 141. In this way, the original sliding friction can be converted into rolling friction, thereby making it easier to adjust the position between the second mating part 22 and the first mating groove 141.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG3, the first mating part 14 includes a first top plate 142.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first mating part 14 includes a first side plate 143. Two first side plates 143 are provided, and the two first side plates 143 are connected to opposite sides of the first top plate 142, thereby forming a first mating groove 141.

[0078] For example, a first top plate 142 is connected to two first side plates 143 to form a first mating groove 141. The first top plate 142 is located at the top of the first mating groove 141, so that the first mating groove 141 is formed below the bottom of the first mating groove 141. The two first side plates 143 are located on opposite sides of the first mating groove 141, so that the first mating groove 141 is formed between the two first side plates 143. In this way, the second mating part 22 can easily extend into the first mating groove 141, thereby allowing the second mating part 22 to slide relative to the first mating groove 141, and also increasing the strength of the connection between the second mating part 22 and the first mating groove 141, thereby protecting the second mating part 22.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the second mating part 22 includes a second top plate 222.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second mating portion 22 includes a second side plate 223. The second side plate 223 is connected to opposite sides of the second top plate 222, thereby forming a second mating groove 221. By connecting the second top plate 222 and the second side plate 223 to form the second mating groove 221, the first mating portion 14 can easily extend into the second mating groove 221, allowing the first mating portion 14 to slide relative to the second mating groove 221. This also increases the strength of the connection between the first mating portion 14 and the second mating groove 221, thereby protecting the first mating portion 14.

[0081] According to some disclosed embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the first mounting plate 10 includes a first main board 102. The first main board 102 is provided with ventilation holes 11.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first main board 102 has two ventilation holes 11, which facilitates the installation of the air inlet and outlet pipes of the portable air conditioner, thereby facilitating the air intake and exhaust of the portable air conditioner and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 10 includes a first upper connecting plate 103. The first upper connecting plate 103 is connected to the top of the first main board 102, and the first upper connecting plate 103 is bent relative to the first main board 102. A first stop plate is connected to the first upper connecting plate 103, and the first stop plate is bent upward relative to the first upper connecting plate 103.

[0084] In some embodiments, by bending the first upper connecting plate 103 relative to the first main plate 102, it is easier for the first upper connecting plate 103 to make full contact with the top of the window, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first upper connecting plate 103 and the top of the window.

[0085] In some embodiments, by bending the first stop plate upward relative to the first upper connecting plate 103, the stopping area between the first stop plate and the top of the window can be increased, thereby improving the stopping strength of the first stop plate.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 10 includes a lower connecting plate 104. The lower connecting plate 104 is connected to the bottom of the first main board 102, and the first connecting plate is bent relative to the first main board 102. A first mating part 14 is connected to the lower connecting plate 104, and the first mating part 14 is bent relative to the lower connecting plate 104.

[0087] For example, the lower connecting plate 104 facilitates the connection between the first main board 102 and the first mating part 14. By bending the first mating part 14 upward relative to the lower connecting plate 104, the first mating part 14 can easily form a first mating groove 141.

[0088] In some embodiments, the curved lower connecting plate 104 can fit more tightly with the window frame sealing strip, thereby improving the window's sealing performance. The curved lower connecting plate 104 can reduce window vibration under wind conditions, thereby reducing noise and extending the window's lifespan.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second mounting plate 20 includes a second mainboard 201.

[0090] The second mounting plate 20 includes a second upper connecting plate 202. The second upper connecting plate 202 is connected to the top of the second main board 201, and the second upper connecting plate 202 is bent relative to the second main board 201. A second stop plate is connected to the second upper connecting plate 202, and the second stop plate is bent upward relative to the second upper connecting plate 202.

[0091] This design facilitates full contact between the second upper connecting plate 202 and the top of the window, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the second upper connecting plate 202 and the top of the window. Furthermore, the curved second upper connecting plate 202 allows for a tighter fit with the window frame sealing strip, thus improving the window's sealing performance. The curved second upper connecting plate 202 also reduces window vibration under wind conditions, thereby reducing noise and extending the window's lifespan.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second stop plate is bent upward relative to the second upper connecting plate 202, which increases the stopping area between the second stop plate and the top of the window, thereby improving the stopping strength of the second stop plate.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second mating portion 22 is connected to the bottom of the second motherboard 201, and the second mating portion 22 is bent relative to the second motherboard 201. This facilitates the connection between the second motherboard 201 and the second mating portion 22. By bending the second mating portion 22 relative to the second motherboard 201, it is easier for the second mating portion 22 to form a second mating groove 221.

[0094] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 6 and 9, the duct mounting plate 100 for a portable air conditioner further includes a first end plate 40. The first end plate 40 is disposed at the end of the first mounting plate 10 away from the second mounting plate 20. The first end plate 40 can be fixed to one side edge of a window, such as the side edge of a window frame. The lateral side of the duct mounting plate 100 can be fixedly connected to one side edge of the window frame via the first end plate 40. Thus, the first end plate 40 can protect the end of the first mounting plate 10 away from the second mounting plate 20 and also facilitates fixed installation with the window frame.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first end plate 40 is provided with a third stop portion 43. The third stop portion 43 extends away from the first mounting plate 10. The third stop portion 43 can stop on the side wall of one side of the window frame. This facilitates the stop portion 43 to cooperate with the window frame. The provision of the third stop portion 43 increases the contact area between the third stop portion 43 and the window frame, thereby preventing the first mounting plate 10 from shaking in the front-back direction and making the connection between the third stop portion 43 and the window frame more stable.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 11, the duct mounting plate 100 for a portable air conditioner further includes a second end plate 50. The second end plate 50 is disposed at the end of the second mounting plate 20 away from the first mounting plate 10. The second end plate 50 can be fixed to the other side edge of a window, such as the other side edge of a window frame. The other lateral side of the duct mounting plate 100 can be fixedly connected to the other side edge of the window frame via the second end plate 50. Thus, the second end plate 50 can protect the end of the second mounting plate 20 away from the first mounting plate 10 and also facilitates fixed installation to the window frame.

[0097] In some embodiments, the second end plate 50 is provided with a fourth stop portion 53, which is used to cooperate with a window frame stop. The fourth stop portion 53 extends away from the second mounting plate 20. The fourth stop portion 53 can be a rectangular flat plate. The fourth stop portion 53 can stop on the side wall of the other side of the window frame. This facilitates the cooperation between the fourth stop portion 53 and the window frame stop. By providing the fourth stop portion 53, the contact area between the fourth stop portion 53 and the window frame can be increased, thereby preventing the second mounting plate 20 from shaking in the front-back direction and making the connection between the fourth stop portion 53 and the window frame more stable.

[0098] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG8, a first end plate 40 has a first slot 41 formed therein. The end of the first mounting plate 10 away from the second mounting plate 20 is inserted into the first slot 41.

[0099] Thus, by providing a first slot 41 through the first end plate 40, the end of the first mounting plate 10 furthest from the second mounting plate 20 can extend into the first slot 41, thereby protecting that end of the first mounting plate 10 furthest from the second mounting plate 20. The end of the first mounting plate 10 furthest from the second mounting plate 20 can be first inserted into the first slot 41, fixing the first end plate 40 to that end of the first mounting plate 10, and then the first end plate 40 can be fixed to one side of the window frame. This also facilitates the fixed installation of the end of the first mounting plate 10 furthest from the second mounting plate 20 to the window, thus preventing the first mounting plate 10 from shaking in the front-to-back direction.

[0100] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8, the second end plate 50 has a second slot 51. The end of the second mounting plate 20 away from the first mounting plate 10 is inserted into the second slot 51.

[0101] Thus, the second end plate 50 forms a second slot 51, allowing the end of the second mounting plate 20 furthest from the first mounting plate 10 to extend into the second slot 51, thereby protecting that end of the second mounting plate 20. The end of the second mounting plate 20 furthest from the first mounting plate 10 can be first inserted into the second slot 51, fixing the second end plate 50 to that end, and then the second end plate 50 can be fixed to the other side of the window frame. This also facilitates the fixed installation of the end of the second mounting plate 20 furthest from the first mounting plate 10 to the window, preventing the second mounting plate 20 from wobbling in the front-back direction.

[0102] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG6, a first end plate 40 has a first elastic buckle 42. A first slot 105 is provided at the end of the first mounting plate 10 away from the second mounting plate 20. The first elastic buckle 42 engages with the first slot 105. Thus, the first elastic buckle 42 can firmly fix the first mounting plate 10 in the first slot 105, preventing displacement of the first mounting plate 10 during processing. The engagement of the first elastic buckle 42 and the first slot 105 is simple, allowing for quick clamping and disengagement of the first mounting plate 10, thereby improving connection stability and facilitating the installation and disassembly of the first end plate 40 and the first mounting plate 10.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second end plate 50 has a second elastic latch 52. A second slot 203 is provided at the end of the second mounting plate 20 away from the first mounting plate 10. The second elastic latch 52 engages with the second slot 203. Thus, the second elastic latch 52 can firmly fix the second mounting plate 20 in the second slot 203, preventing displacement of the second mounting plate 20 during processing. The engagement of the second elastic latch 52 and the second slot 203 is simple and allows for quick clamping and disengagement of the second mounting plate 20, thereby improving connection stability and facilitating the installation and removal of the second end plate 50 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0104] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the portable air conditioner assembly includes a portable air conditioner and a duct mounting plate 100 for the portable air conditioner as described in the various embodiments above. The portable air conditioner has a duct, one end of which is connected to a ventilation hole 11, which facilitates the entry and exit of outdoor air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner.

[0105] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG13, the first mounting plate 10 is provided with mounting holes 106. The second mounting plate 20 is provided with limiting grooves 204. By cooperating with the mounting holes 106 and the limiting grooves 204, the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be connected into a whole. In this way, the overall connection strength of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be improved, and the disassembly of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be facilitated, thereby facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0106] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 includes a first locking member 31. The first locking member 31 has a first end 314 and a second end 315. The first end 314 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 204, and the second end 315 passes through the mounting hole 106. The limiting groove 204 is a recess. In this way, the first end 314 of the first locking member 31 in the locking mechanism 30 can slide relative to the limiting groove 204, thereby adjusting the length of the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0107] When the length of the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 is long, a portion of the first mounting plate 10 can be covered on the second mounting plate 20, thereby shortening the length of the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 and further increasing the strength of the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0108] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 includes a second locking member 32. When the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are adjusted to a suitable connection position, the limiting groove 204 can first push the first locking member 31 to the suitable connection position between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, and then lock the first locking member 31 by the second locking member 32, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second end 315 of the first locking member 31 passes through the mounting hole 106, thereby connecting and fixing the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 together. The second locking member 32 is sleeved on the second end 315 of the first locking member 31, and the second locking member 32 can move along a length direction perpendicular to the first end 314, thereby increasing or decreasing the distance between the second locking member 32 and the first end of the first locking member, thereby realizing the switching between the locking state and the unlocking state of the locking mechanism 30.

[0110] Thus, by locking the second locking member 32 and the first locking member 31 to each other, the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be prevented from becoming loose.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 have a locked state and an unlocked state. When the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are in the locked state, the positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are relatively fixed. When the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are in the unlocked state, the first mounting plate 10 can move relative to the second mounting plate 20.

[0112] For example, when the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are in an unlocked state, the distance between the second locking member 32 and the first end 314 of the first locking member is relatively large, and the relative positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 can be changed under the action of external force from the user. In this way, the user can adjust the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 to match the positions according to the different lengths of windows, thereby achieving an overall length adjustment effect between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, which can improve the versatility and adaptability of the duct mounting plate 100.

[0113] For example, when the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are locked together, the distance between the second locking member 32 and the first end 314 of the first locking member is small, and the relative positions between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are relatively fixed. In this way, the user can adjust the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 to match the window length according to different window sizes, and then fix the relative positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20. This allows the duct mounting plate 100 to maintain its overall length, thereby improving the assembly stability between the duct mounting plate 100 and the window.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, a limiting edge 107 is provided at the edge of the mounting hole 106. A limiting surface 311 is provided on the first locking member 31. The limiting surface 311 engages with the limiting edge 107 to limit the circumferential rotation of the first locking member 31.

[0115] Thus, a limiting edge 107 is provided at the edge of the mounting hole 106 of the first mounting plate 10, and the first locking member 31 passes through the mounting hole 106. Correspondingly, the first locking member 31 is provided with a limiting surface 311, and the limiting surface 311 and the limiting edge 107 make mutual contact and pressing, thereby preventing the first locking member 31 from rotating circumferentially and preventing the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 from becoming loose.

[0116] It should be noted that the duct mounting plate 100 for portable air conditioners allows adjustment of the relative positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, thereby adjusting the length of the connection between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20. This allows it to accommodate windows of different sizes. Furthermore, the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 are connected by a locking mechanism 30, facilitating the installation and removal of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0117] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG17, the limiting edge 107 is a straight edge and the limiting surface 311 is a plane.

[0118] Thus, by setting the limiting edge 107 of the mounting hole 106 as a straight edge, and correspondingly setting the limiting surface 311 of the first locking member 31 as a plane, the contact area between the straight edge and the limiting surface 311 can be increased. Moreover, by ensuring a tight contact between the straight edge and the limiting surface 311, circumferential rotation of the first locking member 31 can be prevented.

[0119] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG17, there are multiple limiting edges 107, which are spaced apart on the edge of the mounting hole 106. There are multiple limiting surfaces 311, which are spaced apart on the peripheral sidewall of the first locking member 31. The multiple limiting edges 107 and the multiple limiting surfaces 311 correspond to and limit each other.

[0120] Multiple limiting edges 107 can be set at the edge of the mounting hole 106. Correspondingly, multiple limiting surfaces 311 are provided on the first locking member 31. The multiple limiting edges 107 and multiple limiting surfaces 311 are correspondingly limited and engaged, which can further ensure the relative position of the first mounting plate 10 and the first locking member 31, and can also further prevent the first mounting plate 10 and the first locking member 31 from loosening and shifting.

[0121] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the edge of the mounting hole 106 may not have a limiting edge 107. Correspondingly, the first locking member 31 may not have a corresponding limiting surface 311. In this case, the circumferential rotation of the first locking member 31 can be limited only by the limiting groove 204.

[0122] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the first locking member 31 includes a limiting portion 312. The limiting portion 312 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 204, and the limiting portion 312 and the limiting groove 204 are engaged in a limiting fit in the thickness direction of the first mounting plate 10.

[0123] Thus, since the limiting part 312 on the first locking member 31 can slide with the limiting groove 204, and the first locking member 31 is disposed in the limiting groove 204 opened in the second mounting plate 20, and the first locking member 31 is used to pass through the first mounting plate 10, the first mounting plate 10 can establish a relative position adjustment relationship between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 by utilizing the sliding fit relationship between the limiting part 312 and the limiting groove 204 on the second mounting plate 20.

[0124] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 16, 17, and 18, the first locking member 31 includes a locking portion 313. The locking portion 313 is connected to the limiting portion 312, thus forming the first locking member 31. The locking portion 313 passes through the mounting hole 106, and a limiting surface 311 is provided on the outer periphery of the locking portion 313. The second locking member 32 cooperates with the locking portion 313, so that the second locking member 32 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state by adjusting its relative position on the locking portion 313.

[0125] Thus, by passing the locking part 313 on the first locking member 31 through the mounting hole 106 on the first mounting plate 10, it is easy for the first locking member 31 to establish a connection and cooperation relationship with the second mounting plate 20 inside the first mounting plate 10.

[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 16 and 18, the second locking member 32 is disposed on the outer side of the first mounting plate 10, and the second locking member 32 cooperates with the end of the first locking member 31 away from its limiting portion 312. With the above arrangement, the distance between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 in the axial direction along the mounting hole 106 can be changed by adjusting the distance between the second locking member 32 and the locking portion 313 on the first locking member 31. This allows for adjustment of the locking force between the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20, thereby achieving the function of locking or unlocking the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0127] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 15 and 18, the limiting groove 204 extends along the moving direction of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the second mounting plate 20. The limiting portion 312 is constructed as an elongated strip, and the length direction of the limiting portion 312 is the same as the length direction of the limiting groove 204.

[0128] In the above embodiment, since the limiting part 312 can be slidably disposed in the limiting groove 204, and the first mounting plate 10 slides relative to the second mounting plate 20, the moving direction of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the second mounting plate 20 is consistent with the extending direction of the limiting groove 204.

[0129] It should be noted that, compared to other shapes, the elongated limiting portion 312 can effectively increase its extension length, thereby increasing the effective sliding path of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the second mounting plate 20. The limiting portion 312 also serves a guiding function, thus ensuring that the sliding trajectory of the first mounting plate 10 does not deviate. Furthermore, by cooperating with the limiting groove 204, the limiting portion 312 can also restrict the circumferential rotation of the first locking member 31, facilitating the fixation of the second locking member 32 onto the first locking member 31.

[0130] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 17 and 20, the locking portion 313 is constructed with a first threaded portion 3131 and a second threaded portion 3132. A limiting surface 311 is connected between the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132. The second locking member 32 is constructed with a threaded hole 321. The first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 are respectively threaded into the threaded hole 321.

[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 19 and 20, the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 are spaced apart axially from the locking portion 313. Correspondingly, the second locking member 32 has a threaded hole 321 inside. When the locking portion 313 of the first locking member 31 is engaged with the threaded hole 321 of the second locking member 32, the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 can respectively extend into the threaded hole 321. In this way, the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 can be screwed into the threaded hole 321, thereby connecting and fixing the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32.

[0132] In the above embodiment, the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 are screwed into the threaded hole 321. For example, the first locking member 31 can be a T-bolt, and the second locking member 32 can be a rotary handle. When the first mounting plate 10 slides relative to the second mounting plate 20 to a suitable position, the first locking member 31 can be locked by rotating the rotary handle, so that the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20 cannot move relative to each other.

[0133] The threads in the first threaded portion 3131, the second threaded portion 3132, and the threaded hole 321 can withstand axial loads well, and the threaded fit is self-locking, thus avoiding the risk of backing out of the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 during feeding into the threaded hole 321. In addition, the threaded connection has the advantages of uniform load distribution, good anti-loosening properties, and high reliability.

[0134] For example, the self-locking characteristic of threaded connections allows the load to be evenly distributed on the connection surface through the threaded pair, reducing stress concentration on the connection surface and thus improving the connection strength and rigidity between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32. The threaded connection, through the engagement of the threads, can effectively prevent loosening of the connection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the connection between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32. It can also withstand greater forces and torques, thus enhancing the reliability of the fastening.

[0135] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 20 and 22, the locking portion 313 is configured with opposing elastic arms 3151 at the ends of the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 away from the limiting portion 312. A limiting block 3152 is provided on the elastic arm 3151. The second locking member 32 is provided with a limiting hole 322 communicating with the threaded hole 321. The limiting hole 322 is located on the side of the threaded hole 321 away from the first mounting plate 10. The two opposing elastic arms 3151 can extend into the limiting hole 322, and the limiting block 3152 selectively engages with the bottom wall of the limiting hole 322, thereby preventing the second locking member 32 from disengaging from the locking portion 313 of the first locking member 31.

[0136] For example, the second locking member 32 has a limiting hole 322 at one end away from the limiting portion 312 along the axial direction of the threaded hole 321, and an elastic arm 3151 is provided at one end of the first threaded portion 3131 and the second threaded portion 3132 away from the limiting portion 312. The elastic arm 3151 can undergo elastic deformation, thereby facilitating the compression of the elastic arm 3151 under the action of external force and passing through the limiting hole 322.

[0137] In some embodiments, a limiting block 3152 is provided on a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the elastic arm 3151. In this case, without the interference of external force, the elastic arm 3151 only forms an elastic compressive force on the inner peripheral wall of the limiting hole 322. Therefore, the limiting block 3152 and the bottom wall of the limiting hole 322 are in a limiting engagement, that is, the limiting block 3152 is blocked by the bottom wall structure of the limiting hole 322, thereby preventing the risk of the second locking member 32 coming out of the first locking member 31 in the normal state, and thus ensuring the stability of the installation and the reliability of the locking.

[0138] In some embodiments, the second locking member 32 is provided with two elastic arms 3151 disposed opposite to each other. Limiting blocks 3152 are respectively provided on the outer peripheral edges of the two elastic arms 3151.

[0139] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the number of elastic arms 3151 on the locking part 313 may be more than three. The three or more elastic arms 3151 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the locking part 313. According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG23, the first mounting plate 10 is provided with a first guide part 101, and the second mounting plate 20 is provided with a second guide part 23, with the first guide part 101 and the second guide part 23 providing guiding cooperation.

[0140] The first guide portion 101 and the second guide portion 23 interact with each other, thereby facilitating the movement of the first mounting plate 10 along a designated path and improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the first mounting plate 10 relative to the second mounting plate 20.

[0141] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in FIG23, the first guide portion 101 is configured as a guide bar, and the second guide portion 23 is configured as a guide groove, wherein the guide bar is slidably disposed in the guide groove.

[0142] In some embodiments, the guide strip extends along the length of the first mounting plate 10 and is disposed inside the first mounting plate 10. The guide groove extends along the length of the second mounting plate 20, and the guide strip extends into the guide groove, thereby facilitating sliding of the guide strip relative to the guide groove. This allows for effortless adjustment of the positions of the first mounting plate 10 and the second mounting plate 20.

[0143] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the portable air conditioner assembly includes a portable air conditioner and a duct mounting plate 100 for the portable air conditioner as described above.

[0144] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner has an air duct. One end of the air duct is connected to the ventilation hole 11, which facilitates the entry and exit of outdoor air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the portable air conditioner.

[0145] In some embodiments, the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct are disposed on the duct mounting plate 100 and are located close to the window. Therefore, the length of the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct extending out of the window can be adjusted by means of movement.

[0146] In some embodiments, the length of the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct extending out of the window can be set to be longer or shorter, which also facilitates communication with the outdoor air and has good adaptability.

[0147] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner includes a housing.

[0148] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner includes a refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an indoor heat exchanger connected end-to-end. The refrigerant circuit is used for heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor environments. The refrigerant circuit can absorb heat from the indoor environment and release heat to the outdoor environment. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an indoor heat exchanger connected end-to-end. The compressor draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas, compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure gas, and then sends it to the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0149] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner includes an outdoor fan assembly. The outdoor fan assembly is disposed on one side of an outdoor heat exchanger, thereby delivering outdoor air to the outdoor heat exchanger for heat exchange.

[0150] In some embodiments, a portable air conditioner indoor fan assembly is provided. The indoor fan assembly is disposed on one side of an indoor heat exchanger, thereby delivering indoor air to the indoor heat exchanger for heat exchange.

[0151] In some embodiments, the outdoor heat exchanger is a condenser, which can cool the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into a high-pressure liquid. A large amount of heat is released in this process, which is usually dissipated by an outdoor fan assembly.

[0152] In this way, the indoor heat exchanger acts as an evaporator, which can evaporate the high-pressure liquid into low-temperature, low-pressure steam. During this process, it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

[0153] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner includes an electrical control box. The electrical control box is connected to the compressor, the outdoor fan assembly, and the indoor fan assembly, respectively.

[0154] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner includes an air inlet duct. The outlet of the air inlet duct is used to supply air to an outdoor heat exchanger.

[0155] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner includes an air outlet duct. The air outlet duct is connected to the outlet of an outdoor fan assembly.
