[0044] The embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below.

[0045] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a shielding component is provided, which is configured to be installed on at least one side of a window air conditioner to block the gap between the window and the window air conditioner. That is, the shielding component can separate the inside and outside of the window, thereby providing effects such as sealing, sound insulation, dust prevention, rain and snow prevention, and foreign object prevention for the inside of the window.

[0046] The shielding components of some embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to FIG1, the shielding component 100 may be disposed on one side of the window air conditioner 200 to be configured to shield the gap between the window 300 and one side of the window air conditioner 200.

[0048] It should be noted that the shielding component 100 is not limited to being positioned on the left side of the window air conditioner 200 as shown in Figure 1 to shield the gap between the window 300 and the left side of the window air conditioner 200; the shielding component 100 may also be positioned on the right side of the window air conditioner 200 to shield the gap between the window 300 and the right side of the window air conditioner 200; or, the shielding component 100 may also be positioned on the upper side of the window air conditioner 200 to shield the gap between the window 300 and the upper side of the window air conditioner 200; or, the shielding component 100 may also be positioned on the lower side of the window air conditioner 200 to shield the gap between the window 300 and the lower side of the window air conditioner 200, etc., depending on the actual installation situation.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the shielding components 100 may be respectively provided on opposite sides of the window air conditioner 200. In other words, shielding components 100 may be provided on opposite sides of the window air conditioner 200 to be configured to shield the gap between the window and the opposite sides of the window air conditioner 200.

[0050] It should be noted that the shielding component 100 is not limited to the arrangement shown in Figures 2 and 3 on the left and right sides of the window air conditioner 200 to shield the gap between the window 300 and the left and right sides of the window air conditioner 200; the shielding component 100 may also be arranged on the upper and lower sides of the window air conditioner 200 to shield the gap between the window 300 and the upper and lower sides of the window air conditioner 200.

[0051] Furthermore, the window air conditioner 200 is not limited to having shielding components 100 on opposite sides; it may also have shielding components 100 on either side of the window air conditioner 200 to block the gap between the window 300 and either side of the window air conditioner 200. For example, one side of the top or bottom of the window air conditioner 200 may have a shielding component 100, or one side of the left or right side may have a shielding component 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, the window air conditioner 200 is provided with shielding components 100 on any three sides to shield the gap between the window 300 and any three sides of the window air conditioner 200. For example, the window air conditioner 200 is provided with shielding components 100 on both the left and right sides, and one of the top and bottom sides is provided with shielding components 100; or, the window air conditioner 200 is provided with shielding components 100 on both the top and bottom sides, and one of the left and right sides is provided with shielding components 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, the window air conditioner 200 may be provided with shielding components 100 on the upper and lower sides and the left and right sides to shield the gap between the window 300 and the upper and lower sides and the left and right sides of the window air conditioner 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to FIG4, the shielding assembly 100 may include a first shielding plate 1 and a second shielding plate 2. The first shielding plate 1 is configured to be connected to the window 300, and the second shielding plate 2 is slidably connected to the first shielding plate 1, that is, the second shielding plate and the first shielding plate 1 are movable relative to each other. The second shielding plate 2 is configured to be connected to the window air conditioner 200.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 can be slidably connected together, and the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 are respectively connected to the window 300 and the window air conditioner 200. In this way, the window air conditioner 200, the shielding assembly 100 and the window 300 can be connected as a whole, which can provide a relatively stable installation and fixing effect for the shielding assembly 100, and can also block the gap between the window 300 and the window air conditioner 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second shielding plate 2 can be moved relative to the first shielding plate 1, thereby changing the relative position of the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 along the moving direction, thereby changing the overall size of the shielding component 100 (i.e., the size in the moving direction), and thus changing the shielding area of ​​the shielding component 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first shield 1 and the second shield 2 can change their relative positions under the action of external force from the user. That is, the user can adjust the first shield 1 and the second shield 2 to match the window 300 with different widths. In other words, the overall size of the shielding assembly 100 is adapted to the gap width between the window 300 and one side of the window air conditioner 200, so that the shielding assembly 100 can achieve the effect of overall size adjustment, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the shielding assembly 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the shielding assembly 100 can be in a stretched or retracted state. Specifically, along the moving direction of the second shielding plate 2: when the shielding assembly 100 is in a retracted state, as shown in FIG. 4, the relative distance between the first shielding plate 1 and the window air conditioner 200 is relatively small, and the shielded area is small; as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the shielding assembly 100 is in a stretched state, the relative distance between the first shielding plate 1 and the window air conditioner 200 is relatively large, and the shielded area is also large.

[0059] In some embodiments, depending on the different window 300 sizes, the user can adjust the relative positions between the first shield 1 and the second shield 2 to match, thereby effectively improving the versatility and convenience of installing the shielding assembly 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 7 and 8, at least one of the first baffle plate 1 and the second baffle plate 2 may include a substrate 3 and a filter screen 31. The substrate 3 mainly serves as a structural support and forms the outer contour of the baffle assembly 100; the filter screen 31 has the functions of filtering large particles of dust (dustproof), preventing mosquitoes and insects, and preventing debris in the air, thereby achieving the effect of air purification.

[0061] In some embodiments, the filter screen 31 can be a regular PP (Polypropylene) screen, a silver ion screen, an anti-mildew screen, etc., and is not limited to these, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to FIG8, the filter screen 31 is connected to the substrate 3. The filter screen 31 has a plurality of filter holes 311, which are configured to allow outdoor fresh air to pass through and enter the room. In other words, outdoor fresh air is suitable to enter the room through the plurality of filter holes 311. However, it is not limited thereto; the filter holes 311 are also configured to allow indoor stale air to pass through and enter the outside. In other words, outdoor stale air is suitable to enter the outside through the plurality of filter holes 311. In some embodiments, the filter screen 31 and the substrate 3 can be connected together by welding, bonding, or other methods to ensure the connection stability between the filter screen 31 and the substrate 3.

[0063] In some embodiments, the substrate 3 can provide relatively stable support and installation conditions for the filter 31, ensuring the positional stability of the filter 31. Outdoor fresh air and indoor stale air can be naturally exchanged through multiple filter holes 311 on the filter 31, thereby achieving the effect of fresh air exchange without opening the window 300.

[0064] In some embodiments, the shielding component 100 can achieve natural exchange between outdoor fresh air and indoor stale air through multiple filter holes 311 on the filter screen 31. Therefore, the shielding component 100 can be classified as a fresh air exchange device.

[0065] In some embodiments, by placing the air exchange device such as the shielding component 100 externally on one side of the window air conditioner 200, compared with the mechanically built-in air exchange device (which is installed inside the air conditioner and has a relatively small air exchange cross-sectional area due to space limitations), this embodiment is less restricted by the inherent space inside the window air conditioner 200, and has a wider air exchange cross-sectional area, thereby improving the efficiency of air exchange.

[0066] In some embodiments, by placing the ventilation device such as the shielding component 100 on one side of the window air conditioner 200, compared with the electric ventilation device (which requires an electric motor and has a relatively complex structure), this embodiment can take into account both the gap between the window 300 and one side of the window air conditioner 200 and the effect of natural ventilation, with a simpler structure, and is easy to operate, safe and reliable and low cost.

[0067] In some embodiments, by providing a filter 31 on at least one of the first baffle plate 1 and the second baffle plate 2, compared with a sliding fresh air control device (which has an air vent but no filter, and therefore cannot block large dust particles, floating objects, mosquitoes, etc. from entering the indoor side), this embodiment can block large dust particles, mosquitoes, and debris from entering the indoor side, thereby effectively improving the quality of fresh air entering the room.

[0068] In some embodiments of this disclosure, by setting the shielding component 100, it can not only match windows 300 of different sizes, but also achieve a wide-area fresh air exchange effect between indoors and outdoors through the filter screen 31, and play a role in preventing dust and mosquitoes during the fresh air exchange process.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 and FIG8, the substrate 3 may include a substrate 32 and a frame 33, with a filter screen 31 connected to the substrate 32 and the frame 33 connected to the edge of the substrate 32.

[0070] In some embodiments, the filter screen 31 and the substrate 32 can be connected together by welding, bonding or other methods to ensure the connection stability between the filter screen 31 and the substrate 32.

[0071] In some embodiments, the frame 33 is circumferentially connected to the edge of the substrate 32. The frame 33 and the substrate 32 can increase each other's weight and spatial modes, thereby improving their structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness. Moreover, the frame 33 can also protect the substrate 32.

[0072] In some embodiments, the substrate 32 may be constructed as a plate, and a filter screen 31 is provided on the substrate 32. By making the substrate 32 plate-shaped, the filter screen 31 can be smoothly installed on the substrate 32, and the filter screen 31 can be arranged on the plate-shaped substrate 32 in a large area, thereby improving the rationality of the arrangement.

[0073] In some embodiments, the frame 33 of the first shield 1 is configured to be connected to the window 300, and the frame 33 of the second shield 2 is configured to be connected to the window air conditioner 200. This arrangement can make full use of the effective width of the first shield 1 and the second shield 2, avoiding waste of processing materials. On the other hand, it can also increase the connection contact area between the first shield 1 and the second shield 2 and the window 300 and the window air conditioner 200 respectively, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, a through hole is formed on the substrate 32, a filter screen 31 is located in the through hole, and the edge of the filter screen 31 is connected to the substrate 32.

[0075] In some embodiments, the edge of the filter screen 31 is connected to the inner wall of the through hole, which allows the through hole to provide installation space for the filter screen 31 and avoids the filter screen 31 from occupying additional space along the thickness direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) of the substrate 32, thereby improving space utilization.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7, 9 and 10, the frame 33 of the first shielding plate 1 is provided with a first sliding portion 331, and the frame 33 of the second shielding plate 2 is provided with a second sliding portion 332, and the first sliding portion 331 and the second sliding portion 332 slide in cooperation.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first sliding portion 331 on the first shielding plate 1 and the second sliding portion 332 on the second shielding plate 2 slide in each other, so that the second shielding plate 2 can be guided to move in a certain direction, that is, move along a specified path, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the first shielding plate 1 relative to the second shielding plate 2.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 establish a sliding engagement relationship through the first sliding part 331 and the second sliding part 332. This allows the second shielding plate 2 to adjust the relative position between the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 by sliding relative to the first shielding plate 1, thereby achieving the effect of flexibly adjusting the overall size of the shielding assembly 100 and thus achieving the effect of matching windows 300 of different sizes.

[0079] In some embodiments, the area of ​​one side surface of the substrate 32 is S1, and the area of ​​one side surface of the filter screen 31 is S2. S1 and S2 satisfy the relationship: 0.5S1≤S2<S1.

[0080] In some embodiments, in the front-to-back direction, since the filter screen 31 is disposed on the substrate 32, the area of ​​one side surface of the filter screen 31 is greater than the area of ​​one side surface of the substrate 32, that is, S2 < S1. This can prevent the filter screen 31 from being too large and exceeding the coverage area of ​​the substrate 32, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and rationality of the arrangement of the filter screen 31.

[0081] In some embodiments, in the front-back direction, the area of ​​one side surface of the filter screen 31 is not less than half the area of ​​one side surface of the substrate 32 (that is, 0.5S1≤S2), so as to ensure that the filter screen 31 has a large air exchange cross-sectional area, thereby ensuring air exchange efficiency; if the area of ​​one side surface of the filter screen 31 is too small, it may lead to the problem of low air exchange efficiency. Therefore, 0.5S1≤S2 is made possible.

[0082] In some embodiments, 0.7S1≤S2, which can increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the filter 31 for air exchange on the one hand, and ensure that the substrate 32 surrounding the filter 31 has good structural strength on the other hand, thereby improving the structural reliability and air exchange efficiency of the shielding assembly 100.

[0083] In some embodiments, 0.85S1≤S2, which allows for a further increase in the cross-sectional area of ​​the filter screen 31 while ensuring that the substrate 32 surrounding the filter screen 31 meets the structural strength requirements, thereby effectively improving the air exchange efficiency.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the shielding assembly 100 may further include a sealing plate 4, which is detachably mounted on one side of the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2, and the sealing plate 4 is configured to shield the filter screen 31.

[0085] In some embodiments, in the front-to-back direction, the sealing plate 4 is detachably shielded by the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 on the side facing the room under the action of external force, so that the sealing plate 4 can be flexibly disassembled and assembled according to the user's fresh air exchange needs.

[0086] In some embodiments, when the sealing plate 4 blocks one side of the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2, it can provide sound insulation and sealing for the room; when the sealing plate 4 exposes the filter holes 311 on the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2, the indoor and outdoor air can be naturally exchanged, thereby achieving the effect of fresh air exchange in the room.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, a mounting groove 5 is formed on one side of the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2, and the sealing plate 4 is installed in the mounting groove 5.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 together form a mounting groove 5 on the side facing the interior in the front-back direction. The mounting groove 5 can provide installation and accommodating space for the sealing plate 4, thereby improving the rationality of the arrangement of the shielding assembly 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, the filter screen 31 can be integrally formed with the substrate 3. Compared with separate assembly, the integral forming process of the filter screen 31 and the substrate 3 can increase the overall stability and structural reliability.

[0090] In some embodiments, the filter 31 may also be a separate mesh component, integrally formed with the substrate 3 or separately separated, or the filter 31 may also be a mesh feature on the substrate 3.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the first shielding plate 1 may further include a mounting plate 11, which is connected to the frame 33 at the top of the substrate 32.

[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, the mounting plate 11 on the first shield 1 has a through hole 110. Fasteners 111 can pass through the through hole 110 and the window 300 to connect the first shield 1 and the window 300 as a whole, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the shielding assembly 100 and the frame 33 of the window 300. The mounting plate 11 is connected to the frame 33 at the top of the substrate 32, which enhances the structural strength of both components.

[0093] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 11 is provided with directional markings in the direction toward the inside of the window 300, which can prevent incorrect installation during the installation of the group of shielding components 100. For example, the directional markings can be left, right, L, R (see Figures 5 and 7), etc., and are not limited thereto.

[0094] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, the second shield 2 is provided with a plug-in portion 21 on the frame 33 facing the window air conditioner 200. The plug-in portion 21 is plugged into the window air conditioner 200. Compared with other connection methods (such as welding, screwing or bonding), the plug-in connection method of this embodiment can make the connection process simpler, more flexible and convenient on the basis of a firm connection between the shield assembly 100 and the window air conditioner 200, thereby effectively improving the installation convenience and flexibility between the shield assembly 100 and the window air conditioner 200.

[0095] In some embodiments, the filter 31 may be one of a polypropylene filter, a nylon filter, and a metal filter.

[0096] In some embodiments, polypropylene filters have good chemical stability (able to withstand corrosion and erosion from various chemicals and not easily affected by chemical reactions), high filtration efficiency (small pore size, high filtration precision, effectively filtering tiny particles and impurities in liquids, improving filtration efficiency and purity), are easy to replace and clean, and have relatively low cost. Therefore, using polypropylene filters can improve the purification rate of indoor fresh air and reduce production costs.

[0097] In some embodiments, nylon filters have good mechanical strength (nylon material has high tensile and compressive strength, good toughness, and is suitable for withstanding high pressure and mechanical impact), chemical resistance and corrosion resistance, and low resistance to fluid flow and can be reused. Therefore, using nylon filters can improve the filtration efficiency of indoor fresh air and reduce long-term operating costs.

[0098] In some embodiments, metal filters are durable (metal materials such as stainless steel and aluminum have high strength and wear resistance, which gives metal filters a long service life) and washable and recyclable (metal filters are easy to disassemble and clean, and can be reused, reducing subsequent replacement costs). Therefore, using metal filters can improve their service life and practicality.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 to 14, the blocking assembly 100 may further include a locking mechanism 6 disposed between the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2, and the locking mechanism 6 is configured to lock the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 may move relative to each other, and the locking mechanism 6 can lock the relative position between the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2, thereby ensuring the positional stability between the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG16, the second baffle 2 is provided with a limiting groove 24, which can restrict movement.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 15 to 18, the locking mechanism 6 may include a first locking member 61 and a second locking member 62. The first locking member 61 is disposed on the first baffle plate 1 and is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 24. The first locking member 61 and the limiting groove 24 are engaged in a limiting fit in the thickness direction of the first baffle plate 1. The second locking member 62 cooperates with the first locking member 61.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first locking member 61 on the first shielding plate 1 and the limiting groove 24 on the second shielding plate 2 can be slidably engaged, thereby enabling the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 to slide relative to each other and change their relative positions, thereby achieving the effect of changing the overall size of the shielding assembly 100.

[0104] In some embodiments, the limiting groove 24 restricts the movement of the first locking member 61 in the thickness direction of the first baffle plate 1, thereby reducing the risk of the first locking member 61 disengaging from the limiting groove 24 in the thickness direction of the first baffle plate 1, thus ensuring the relative positional stability of the first locking member 61 and the limiting groove 24 as well as the sliding stability of the first locking member 61 in the limiting groove 24.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second locking member 62 is connected and cooperates with the first locking member 61.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 have a locked state and an unlocked state. When the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 are in the locked state, the positions of the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 are fixed. When the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 are in the unlocked state, the first blocking plate 1 is movable relative to the second blocking plate 2.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 are in a mutually unlocked state, the relative positions of the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 can be changed under the action of external force from the user. That is, the user can adjust the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 to a matching position according to different window sizes, so that the blocking assembly 100 can achieve the effect of overall width adjustment, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the blocking assembly 100.

[0108] In some embodiments, when the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 are locked to each other, the relative position between the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 is fixed. That is, the user can adjust the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 to match the window of different sizes and then fix the relative position of the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2. This allows the blocking assembly 100 to maintain its overall width, thereby improving the assembly stability of the blocking assembly 100 between the window 300 and the window air conditioner 200.

[0109] In this embodiment, by switching between two different working states of the locking mechanism 6, the versatility and convenience of installing the shielding component 100 can be effectively improved.

[0110] In some embodiments, by providing a blocking assembly 100 including a locking mechanism 6, the unlocked state and the locked state between the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 can be selectively switched, thereby facilitating the user to match different sized windows and then lock the relative positions of the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2.

[0111] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG16, FIG19 to FIG21, the first locking member 61 may include a limiting part 611 and a locking part 612. The limiting part 611 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 24, and the limiting part 611 and the limiting groove 24 are engaged in a limiting fit in the thickness direction of the first shielding plate 1.

[0112] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 611 on the first locking member 61 and the limiting groove 24 can be slidably engaged. The first locking member 61 is disposed on the first blocking plate 1. The first blocking plate 1 can establish a relative position adjustment relationship between the first blocking plate 1 and the second blocking plate 2 by utilizing the sliding engagement relationship between the limiting portion 611 and the limiting groove 24 on the second blocking plate 2.

[0113] In some embodiments, the limiting groove 24 restricts the movement of the limiting part 611 in the thickness direction of the first baffle plate 1, thereby reducing the risk of the limiting part 611 disengaging from the limiting groove 24 in the thickness direction of the first baffle plate 1, thus ensuring the relative positional stability of the first locking member 61 and the limiting groove 24 as well as the sliding stability of the first locking member 61 in the limiting groove 24.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG16, the first baffle plate 1 is provided with a mounting hole 14, the locking part 612 is connected to the limiting part 611, the locking part 612 passes through the mounting hole 14, the second locking member 62 cooperates with the locking part 612, and the second locking member 62 switches between the locking state and the unlocking state by adjusting its relative position on the locking part 612.

[0115] In some embodiments, the locking portion 612 on the first locking member 61 passes through the mounting hole 14 on the first baffle plate 1, which facilitates the establishment of a connection and cooperation relationship between the first locking member 61 and the second baffle plate 2 inside the first baffle plate 1; and the second locking member 62 is disposed on the outside of the first baffle plate 1 and cooperates with the end of the first locking member 61 away from its limiting portion 611. As described above, the second locking member 62 can change the distance between the first baffle plate 1 and the second baffle plate 2 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 14 by adjusting its distance from the locking portion 612 on the second locking member 62, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the pressure between the first baffle plate 1 and the second baffle plate 2, and thus achieving the function of locking or unlocking the first baffle plate 1 and the second baffle plate 2.

[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG16 and FIG17, the limiting groove 24 extends along the moving direction of the first baffle 1 relative to the second baffle 2, the limiting part 611 may be constructed as a strip, and the length direction of the limiting part 611 may be the same as the length direction of the limiting groove 24.

[0117] In this embodiment, since the limiting part 611 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 24, and the first blocking plate 1 can move relative to the second blocking plate 2 by means of the above-mentioned sliding cooperation, the moving direction of the first blocking plate 1 relative to the second blocking plate 2 is consistent with the extending direction of the limiting groove 24.

[0118] Furthermore, compared to other shapes, the elongated limiting portion 611 can effectively increase the extension length of the limiting portion 611, thereby increasing the effective path for the first baffle 1 to move relative to the second baffle 2, maximizing the extension and retraction dimensions of the first baffle 1, and thus improving its practicality.

[0119] In some embodiments, referring to FIG19, the locking portion 612 is provided with a threaded portion 6121, and the second locking member 62 is provided with a threaded hole 621, wherein the threaded portion 6121 and the threaded hole 621 cooperate.

[0120] In this embodiment, since the thread can withstand axial loads well and the threaded fit has self-locking properties, the risk of the threaded portion 6121 retracting during the feeding process with the threaded hole 621 can be avoided. Furthermore, the threaded connection provides a more uniform load distribution, good anti-loosening properties, and high reliability.

[0121] Moreover, the threaded connection, through the self-locking characteristic of the threaded pair, can distribute the load evenly on the connection surface, reduce stress concentration on the connection surface, thereby improving the connection strength and rigidity between the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62; the threaded connection, through the meshing action of the threads, can effectively prevent the connection from loosening, thereby improving the connection reliability and safety between the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62; it can also withstand greater forces and torques, thereby improving the fastening reliability.

[0122] In some embodiments, referring to FIG18, the first locking member 61 can be a T-bolt, and the second locking member 62 can be a rotary handle. When the first baffle 1 is extended to a suitable position relative to the second baffle 2, the rotary handle is rotated to lock it, so that the first baffle 1 and the second baffle 2 cannot move relative to each other.

[0123] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 19 and 20, the locking portion 612 is configured as an opposing elastic arm at the end of the threaded portion 6121 away from the limiting portion 611. Each elastic arm is provided with a limiting protrusion 6122. The second locking member 62 is provided with a limiting hole 622 communicating with the threaded hole 621. The limiting hole 622 is located on the side of the threaded hole 621 away from the first baffle plate 1. The opposing elastic arm is provided in the limiting hole 622, and the limiting protrusion 6122 selectively engages with the bottom wall of the limiting hole 622 to prevent the second locking member 62 from disengaging.

[0124] In some embodiments, referring to FIG20, the second locking member 62 is provided with a limiting hole 622 at one end of the threaded hole 621 away from the limiting portion 611, and the locking portion 612 on the first locking member 61 is provided with an elastic arm disposed opposite to the limiting portion 611 at one end away from the limiting portion 611. The elastic arm can undergo elastic deformation, thereby facilitating the compression of the elastic arm under the action of external force and passing through the limiting hole 622.

[0125] In some embodiments, referring to FIG19, a limiting protrusion 6122 is provided on a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the elastic arm. When there is no external force interference, the elastic arm only forms an elastic extrusion force on the inner peripheral wall of the limiting hole 622. Therefore, the limiting protrusion 6122 and the bottom wall of the limiting hole 622 are in a limiting engagement. That is to say, the limiting protrusion 6122 is blocked by the bottom wall structure of the limiting hole 622, thereby reducing the risk that the second locking member 62 will disengage from the first locking member 61 in the normal state, thereby ensuring the installation stability and locking reliability of the shielding assembly 100.

[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG17 and FIG18, the first shielding plate 1 may be provided with a first guide portion 12, and the second shielding plate 2 may be provided with a second guide portion 22, wherein the first guide portion 12 and the second guide portion 22 are guided and cooperated.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first guide portion 12 on the first shield 1 and the second guide portion 22 on the second shield 2 guide each other, so that the first shield 1 can be guided to move in a certain direction, that is, move along a specified path, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the first shield 1 relative to the second shield 2.

[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, a first anti-detachment portion 13 is provided at one end of the first guide portion 12 adjacent to the second baffle plate 2, and a second anti-detachment portion 23 is provided at one end of the second guide portion 22 adjacent to the first baffle plate 1. When the baffle assembly 100 has the largest baffle area, the first anti-detachment portion 13 and the second anti-detachment portion 23 cooperate.

[0129] In this embodiment, the first guide portion 12 and the second guide portion 22 are respectively provided with a first anti-detachment portion 13 and a second anti-detachment portion 23 on the side close to each other's shielding plates. This can reduce the risk of the first shielding plate 1 continuing to move relative to the second shielding plate 2 and detaching from each other, and can limit the maximum distance of movement of the first shielding plate 1 relative to the second shielding plate 2, so as to maximize the shielding area of ​​the shielding assembly 100, thereby ensuring the maximum safe distance of movement of the first shielding plate 1 relative to the second shielding plate 2, and thus improving the safety and reliability of the shielding assembly 100.

[0130] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG17 and FIG18, the first guide portion 12 is respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the first baffle plate 1, and the first anti-detachment portion 13 is respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the first baffle plate 1.

[0131] In this embodiment, the first guide portion 12 on the first shielding plate 1 is correspondingly provided with the first anti-detachment portion 13, so that the first guide portion 12 at each different position is provided with the first anti-detachment portion 13, thereby reducing the risk of the first shielding plate 1 slipping and shaking on one side during the movement relative to the second shielding plate 2.

[0132] In some embodiments, the top and bottom of the first shielding plate 1 are provided with a first guide portion 12 for guiding the movement direction of the first shielding plate 1, so that the first shielding plate 1 can form a guiding support function at different positions, thereby enhancing the guiding accuracy and stability of the first shielding plate 1 when it moves.

[0133] In some embodiments, the second guide portion 22 is respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the second baffle plate 2, and the second anti-detachment portion 23 is respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the second baffle plate 2.

[0134] In this embodiment, the second guide portion 22 on the second baffle plate 2 is correspondingly provided with the second anti-detachment portion 23. This ensures that the second guide portion 22 at each different position is provided with the second anti-detachment portion 23, thereby reducing the risk of the second baffle plate 2 slipping or shaking at some point during its movement relative to the second baffle plate 2.

[0135] In some embodiments, the top and bottom of the second shielding plate 2 are provided with second guide portions 22 for guiding the movement direction of the second shielding plate 2, so that the second shielding plate 2 can form a guiding support function at different positions, thereby enhancing the guiding accuracy and stability of the second shielding plate 2 when it moves.

[0136] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the first anti-detachment portion 13 is configured as a stop rib, and the second anti-detachment portion 23 is configured as a stop protrusion. The stop protrusion located at the top of the second baffle plate 2 is located at the second guide portion 22; the stop protrusion located at the bottom of the second baffle plate 2 is spaced apart from the second guide portion 22.

[0137] In this embodiment, the stop protrusion on the second shield plate 2 is located on the second guide portion 22, thus establishing a stop-locking relationship with the stop rib on the first guide portion 12 that is guided and engaged with the second guide portion 22; the stop protrusion at the bottom of the second shield plate 2 is spaced apart from the second guide portion 22, thus establishing a stop-locking relationship with the stop rib on the first guide portion 12 that is guided and engaged with the second guide portion 22. In summary, by correspondingly setting the positions of the first anti-detachment portion 13 and the second anti-detachment portion 23, the stop-locking and anti-detachment effect between the first shield plate 1 and the second shield plate 2 can be successfully achieved.

[0138] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the first anti-detachment part 13 is configured as a stop rib perpendicular to the first guide part 12, and the second anti-detachment part 23 that cooperates with it is configured as a stop protrusion protruding toward the locking mechanism 6. The stop protrusion can form a relationship similar to hooking the stop rib.

[0139] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 22 to 26, the shielding assembly 100 may include a first shielding plate 1, an intermediate shielding plate 7, and a second shielding plate 2. The first shielding plate 1 is connected to the window 300, the intermediate shielding plate 7 is disposed on the first shielding plate 1, the second shielding plate 2 is disposed on the intermediate shielding plate 7, and the second shielding plate 2 is connected to the window air conditioner 200.

[0140] In some embodiments, the first shield 1 and the second shield 2 are connected to the window 300 and the window air conditioner 200, respectively. The first shield 1 and the second shield 2 are also indirectly connected through the intermediate shield 7. This allows the window air conditioner 200, the shielding assembly 100 and the window 300 to be connected as a whole, which provides a relatively stable installation and fixing effect for the shielding assembly 100 and can also block the gap between the window 300 and the window air conditioner 200.

[0141] In some embodiments, the intermediate shielding plate 7 is movable relative to the first shielding plate 1 and the intermediate shielding plate 7 is movable relative to the second shielding plate 2. The first shielding plate 1, the intermediate shielding plate 7 and the second shielding plate 2 change the shielding area of ​​the shielding assembly 100 by relative movement.

[0142] In some embodiments, the intermediate baffle 7 can be moved relative to the first baffle 1 and the second baffle 2 respectively, thereby changing the relative position of the first baffle 1 and the second baffle 2 along the moving direction, thus achieving the effect of changing the overall size of the baffle assembly 100.

[0143] In this embodiment, the first shielding component 100, the second shielding component 100, and the third shielding component 100 can change their relative positions under the action of external force from the user. That is, the user can adjust the first shielding plate 1, the middle shielding plate 7, and the second shielding plate 2 to match the positions of different sized windows 300, thereby enabling the shielding component 100 to achieve an overall adjustable size, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the shielding component 100.

[0144] In some embodiments, the shielding component 100 can be in a stretched or retracted state. Along the moving direction of the intermediate shielding plate 7: when the shielding component 100 is in a stretched state, as shown in FIG. 23, the relative distance between the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 is relatively large, and the shielding area is also large; when the shielding component 100 is in a retracted state, as shown in FIG. 24, the relative distance between the first shielding plate 1 and the second shielding plate 2 is relatively small, and the shielding area is small.

[0145] In this embodiment, depending on the different window 300 sizes, the user can adjust the relative positions of the first shield 1, the middle shield 7, and the second shield 2 to match them, thereby effectively improving the versatility and convenience of installing the shielding assembly 100.

[0146] In other words, by setting up the shielding component 100 in this embodiment, users can easily adjust the relative positions of the first shielding plate 1, the middle shielding plate 7, and the second shielding plate 2 to achieve the effect of matching windows 300 of different widths, thereby improving the versatility and convenience of installing the shielding component 100.

[0147] In some embodiments, referring to FIG26, a first groove 15 may be formed in the first baffle 1, and the intermediate baffle 7 may be slidably disposed in the first groove 15.

[0148] In some embodiments, the intermediate baffle 7 and the first groove 15 of the first baffle 1 can establish a sliding engagement relationship. That is, the intermediate baffle 7 can adjust the relative position between the first baffle 1 and the intermediate baffle 7 by sliding relative to the first baffle 1, thereby achieving the effect of flexibly adjusting the overall size of the baffle assembly 100.

[0149] In some embodiments, referring to FIG26, a second groove 78 is formed in the intermediate baffle 7, and the second baffle 2 is slidably disposed in the second groove 78.

[0150] In some embodiments, the second baffle plate 2 and the second slide groove 78 of the middle baffle plate 7 can establish a sliding engagement relationship. That is, the second baffle plate 2 can adjust the relative position between the middle baffle plate 7 and the second baffle plate 2 by sliding relative to the middle baffle plate 7, thereby achieving the effect of flexibly adjusting the overall size of the baffle assembly 100.

[0151] In some embodiments, the intermediate baffle 7 can slide relative to the first baffle 1, and the second baffle 2 can slide relative to the intermediate baffle 7, thus forming a multi-layered sliding effect. This allows the baffle assembly 100 to have a larger stretchable length within the limited overall size of the baffle assembly 100 (that is, when the overall size of the baffle assembly 100 is at its minimum, the first baffle 1, the intermediate baffle 7, and the second baffle 2 are in a state of extreme contraction). This results in a larger width adjustment range for the baffle assembly 100, thereby improving its practicality and adaptability.

[0152] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 28 to 31, the first baffle plate 1 may be provided with a first anti-detachment part 13, the intermediate baffle plate 7 may be provided with a third anti-detachment part 71 and a fourth anti-detachment part 72, and the second baffle plate 2 may be provided with a second anti-detachment part 23. When the area of ​​the detachment region of the baffle assembly 100 reaches its maximum, the first anti-detachment part 13 cooperates with the third anti-detachment part 71, and the fourth anti-detachment part 72 cooperates with the second anti-detachment part 23.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first shielding plate 1 and the intermediate shielding plate 7 are respectively provided with a first anti-detachment part 13 and a third anti-detachment part 71 on the side close to each other. This can reduce the risk of the first shielding plate 1 moving too much relative to the intermediate shielding plate 7 and detaching from each other, and can limit the maximum distance of movement of the first shielding plate 1 relative to the intermediate shielding plate 7. That is to say, at this time, the shielding area of ​​the first shielding plate 1 and the intermediate shielding plate 7 is maximized, thereby ensuring the maximum safe distance of movement of the first shielding plate 1 relative to the intermediate shielding plate 7, and thus improving the safety and reliability of the shielding assembly 100.

[0154] In some embodiments, the intermediate shielding plate 7 and the second shielding plate 2 are respectively provided with a fourth anti-detachment part 72 and a second anti-detachment part 23 on the side close to each other. This can reduce the risk of the intermediate shielding plate 7 moving too much relative to the second shielding plate 2 and detaching from each other, and can limit the maximum distance of movement of the intermediate shielding plate 7 relative to the second shielding plate 2. That is, at this time, the shielding area of ​​the second shielding plate 2 and the intermediate shielding plate 7 is maximized, thereby ensuring the maximum safe distance of movement of the intermediate shielding plate 7 relative to the second shielding plate 2, and thus improving the safety and reliability of the shielding assembly 100.

[0155] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 26 to 30, the intermediate baffle plate 7 is provided with a first clearance groove 73, a first anti-detachment part 13 is slidably disposed in the first clearance groove 73, and a third anti-detachment part 71 is disposed at the end of the first clearance groove 73.

[0156] In some embodiments, the intermediate baffle 7 may be provided with a first clearance groove 73 along the moving direction relative to the first baffle 1, and the first anti-detachment part 13 on the first baffle 1 and the first clearance groove 73 may establish a sliding engagement relationship. This can reduce the risk of mutual structural interference between the first anti-detachment part 13 and the intermediate baffle 7 during the sliding process of the intermediate baffle 7 relative to the first baffle 1, thus preventing sliding blockage. On the other hand, it can also enable the first anti-detachment part 13 and the first clearance groove 73 to engage in a stop engagement at the third anti-detachment part 71 near the end of the first baffle 1 to achieve the anti-detachment effect, thereby improving the design rationality and practicality of the baffle assembly 100.

[0157] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 29 to 31, the second shielding plate 2 is provided with a second clearance groove 25, the fourth anti-detachment part 72 is slidably disposed in the second clearance groove 25, and the second anti-detachment part 23 is disposed at the end of the second clearance groove 25.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second baffle plate 2 may be provided with a second clearance groove 25 along the moving direction relative to the middle baffle plate 7, and the fourth anti-detachment part 72 on the middle baffle plate 7 and the second clearance groove 25 can establish a sliding engagement relationship. This can reduce the risk of mutual structural interference between the fourth anti-detachment part 72 and the second baffle plate 2 during the sliding of the second baffle plate 2 relative to the middle baffle plate 7, thus preventing sliding blockage. On the other hand, it can also make the fourth anti-detachment part 72 and the second clearance groove 25 stop engagement at the second anti-detachment part 23 near the middle baffle plate 7 to achieve the anti-detachment effect, thereby improving the design rationality and practicality of the baffle assembly 100.

[0159] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 26 to 31, the first shielding plate 1 may be provided with a first guide portion 13, the intermediate shielding plate 7 may be provided with a third guide portion 24 and a fourth guide portion 25, and the second shielding plate 2 may be provided with a second guide portion 33. The first guide portion 13 and the third guide portion 24 are guided and cooperated, and the fourth guide portion 25 is guided and cooperated with the second guide portion 33.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first guide portion 13 on the first shielding plate 1 and the third guide portion 24 on the intermediate shielding plate 7 guide each other, so that the intermediate shielding plate 7 can be guided to move along a specified path, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the first shielding plate 1 relative to the intermediate shielding plate 7.

[0161] In some embodiments, the fourth guide portion 25 on the intermediate baffle 7 and the second guide portion 33 on the second baffle 2 guide each other, so that the intermediate baffle 7 can be guided to move along a specified path, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the intermediate baffle 7 relative to the second baffle 2.

[0162] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 26 to 31, the first baffle 1 mainly includes a first main board 16, a first bent portion 17, and a first end plate 18. The first bent portion 17 is connected to the top and bottom of the first main board 16, and the first bent portion 17 and the first main board 16 together form a first groove 15. The first end plate 18 is connected to the end of the first main board 16 away from the second baffle 2, and the first end plate 18 is connected to the window 300.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first bending portion 17 can change the structural extension direction of the first main board 16, and the first bending portion 17 can increase the weight and spatial modes of the first main board 16, thereby improving the overall structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness of the first shielding plate 1. Specifically, a first end plate 18 is bent and connected to the end of the first shielding plate 1 away from the second shielding plate 2, and the first end plate 18 can further enhance the structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness of the first main board 16.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first bend 17 and the first end plate 18 are configured in a semi-enclosed shape, which can protect the first main board 16 and its internal structure in different directions, and can also define a certain accommodating space.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first end plate 18 can be connected to the window 300, thereby improving the installation stability between the shielding assembly 100 and the window 300.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first bending portion 17 and the first main board 16 together define a first sliding groove 15. The first sliding groove 15 can define the sliding path of the intermediate baffle 7, thereby facilitating the intermediate baffle 7 to slide along the first sliding groove 15, and thus providing relative sliding engagement conditions between the intermediate baffle 7 and the first baffle 1.

[0167] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 26 to 30, the intermediate baffle 7 further includes a second main board 76 and a second bending portion 77. The first main board 16 corresponds to the second main board 76, the second bending portion 77 is connected to the top and bottom of the second main board 76 respectively, the first bending portion 17 corresponds to the second bending portion 77, and the second bending portion 77 and the second main board 76 together form a second sliding groove 78.

[0168] In some embodiments, the second bend 77 can change the structural extension direction of the second main board 76, and the second bend 77 can increase the weight and spatial mode of the second main board 76, thereby improving the overall structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness of the intermediate baffle 7.

[0169] In some embodiments, the second bend 77 provides protection for the second motherboard 76 and its internal structure on the same side, and may also define a certain accommodating space.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second bend 77 and the second main board 76 together define the second slide groove 78, which can define the sliding path of the second baffle 2, thereby facilitating the second baffle 2 to slide along the second slide groove 78, and thus providing relative sliding engagement conditions between the intermediate baffle 7 and the second baffle 2.

[0171] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 29 to 31, the second shield 2 may further include a third main board 26, a third bent portion 27, and a second end plate 28. The second main board 76 corresponds to the third main board 26. The third bent portion 27 is connected to the top and bottom of the third main board 26 respectively. The second bent portion 77 corresponds to the third bent portion 27. The second end plate 28 is connected to the end of the third main board 26 away from the first shield 1. The second end plate 28 is provided with a plug-in portion 21, which is plugged into the window air conditioner 200.

[0172] In some embodiments, the third bend 27 can change the structural extension direction of the third main board 26, and the third bend 27 can increase the weight and spatial modes of the third main board 26, thereby improving the overall structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness of the second shielding plate 2. Specifically, a second end plate 28 is bent and connected to the end of the second shielding plate 2 away from the intermediate shielding plate 7, and the second end plate 28 can further enhance the structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness of the third main board 26.

[0173] In some embodiments, the third bend 27 and the second end plate are constructed in a semi-enclosed shape, which can protect the third main board 26 and its internal structure in different directions, and can also define a certain accommodating space.

[0174] In some embodiments, the second end plate 28 can be connected to the window air conditioner 200, thereby improving the installation stability between the shielding assembly 100 and the window 300.

[0175] In some embodiments, the second end plate 28 is provided with a plug-in portion 21 that can be connected to the window air conditioner 200. Compared with other connection methods (such as welding, screwing or bonding), the plug-in connection method in this case can make the connection process simpler, more flexible and convenient on the basis of a firm connection, thereby effectively improving the ease and flexibility of installation between the shielding component 100 and the window air conditioner 200.

[0176] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 26 to 28, the first shielding plate 1 further includes a mounting plate 11, which is connected to the first bent portion 17 located on the top of the first main board 16, thereby enhancing the structural strength of each other.

[0177] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 25 to 28, the shielding assembly 100 may further include a fixing plate 8, one end of which is connected to the mounting plate 11, and the other end of which is connected to the sealing plate of the window air conditioner 200.

[0178] In some embodiments, along the sliding direction of the shielding assembly 100, one end of the fixing plate 8 is connected to the mounting plate 11 located on top of the first shielding plate 1, and the other end of the fixing plate 8 extends to and connects to the sealing plate of the window air conditioner 200. This can protect the structure below the fixing plate 8, preventing rain, snow, and foreign objects from falling directly from the air onto the part of the shielding assembly 100 structure below it, thereby extending the service life of the shielding assembly 100.

[0179] In some embodiments, the shielding assembly 100 may further include sound-insulating material, and the first shielding plate 1, the intermediate shielding plate 7 and the second shielding plate 2 are formed with receiving grooves, in which the sound-insulating material is received.

[0180] In some embodiments, since the first shield 1, the intermediate shield 7 and the second shield 2 have receiving grooves formed along the inner and outer directions of the window 300, sound insulation material can be placed in the receiving grooves according to user needs.

[0181] In some embodiments, the sound insulation material may be EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) sponge, but is not limited thereto.

[0182] According to the second aspect of this disclosure, the window air conditioner 200 assembly includes a window air conditioner 200 and a shielding component 100 for the window air conditioner 200 as described above. The shielding components 100 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the window air conditioner 200. By applying the shielding component 100 to the window air conditioner 200, it is convenient for users to match windows 300 of different widths, thereby improving the installation convenience and versatility of the shielding component 100.

[0183] In some embodiments, the shielding component 100 can also achieve a wide-area fresh air exchange effect between indoors and outdoors through the filter 31, and also play a role in preventing dust and mosquitoes during the fresh air exchange process.

The outdoor fan provides power for the flow of outdoor air.

[0191] In some embodiments, an expansion valve is connected between an outdoor heat exchanger and an indoor heat exchanger. The opening degree of the expansion valve regulates the refrigerant pressure flowing through the outdoor and indoor heat exchangers, thereby regulating the refrigerant flow rate between them. The flow rate and pressure of the refrigerant flowing between the outdoor and indoor heat exchangers affect their heat exchange performance. The expansion valve can be an electronic valve. The opening degree of the expansion valve is adjustable to control the flow rate and pressure of the refrigerant flowing through it.

[0192] In some embodiments, a four-way valve is connected to the refrigerant circuit and is configured to switch the flow direction of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit so that the air conditioner performs a cooling mode or a heating mode.

[0193] In some embodiments, the indoor heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between indoor air and refrigerant transported within it. For example, in the cooling mode of the air conditioner, the indoor heat exchanger operates as an evaporator, causing the refrigerant, after dissipating heat via the outdoor heat exchanger, to absorb heat from the indoor air and evaporate. In the heating mode of the air conditioner, the indoor heat exchanger operates as a condenser, causing the refrigerant, after absorbing heat via the outdoor heat exchanger, to dissipate heat to the indoor air and condense.

[0194] In some embodiments, the indoor heat exchanger further includes heat exchange fins to increase the contact area between indoor air and the refrigerant transported in the indoor heat exchanger, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between indoor air and the refrigerant.

[0195] In some embodiments, the indoor fan is configured to draw indoor air into the indoor unit through the air inlet and discharge the indoor air, after heat exchange with the indoor heat exchanger, through the air outlet of the indoor unit. The indoor fan provides power for the flow of indoor air.

[0196] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a control device. The control device is configured to control the operating frequency of the compressor, the opening degree of the expansion valve, the speed of the outdoor fan, and the speed of the indoor fan. The control device is connected to the compressor, expansion valve, outdoor fan, and indoor fan via data cables to transmit communication information.
