Sealing plate assembly and air conditioner
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional portable air conditioners require users to splice two sealing plates to adapt to different window sizes, making the process cumbersome and affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A sealing plate assembly with a first and second sealing plate that can slide relative to each other, featuring a connector for rotation and a vent hole, allowing for telescopic and foldable design to accommodate various window sizes, improving user experience and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If two sealing plates are spliced together to adapt to different window sizes, then the adaptability to various window sizes is improved, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and the workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing plate assembly is divided into a first sealing plate and a second sealing plate that can be relatively slided. The second sealing plate slides in or out of the first sealing plate to adjust the overall length, allowing adaptation to different window sizes. This segmentation enables flexible adjustment without requiring complex splicing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing plate assembly incorporates dynamic adjustment capability through the sliding mechanism between the first and second sealing plates. The connector allows the sealing plates to rotate relatively, and the vent hole can be adjusted to different positions, enabling the structure to adapt dynamically to various window dimensions while maintaining ease of operation.
2Volume of moving object
If the sealing plate assembly is made foldable with a connector, then the storage space is reduced and loading quantity is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The second sealing plate is nested within or adjacent to the first sealing plate, and when folded, the assembly compactly stores the connector joint. This nesting arrangement reduces the overall storage volume while maintaining a relatively simple structural design through straightforward geometric relationships rather than complex mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the second sealing plate slides in or out of the first sealing plate, then the adaptability to different window sizes is improved, but the sealing reliability may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding mechanism between the first and second sealing plates is designed to maintain sealing contact throughout the adjustment range. The dynamic sliding action allows the sealing surfaces to remain engaged while adapting to different window sizes, ensuring sealing reliability is preserved during adjustment operations.

AI summary
The present application provides a sealing plate assembly and an air conditioner having thereof. The sealing plate assembly includes a first sealing plate and a second sealing plate mounted on one side of the first sealing plate. The two sealing plates can slide relative to each other. There is a sealing plate joint provided with a vent hole mounted on the first sealing plate and located at the end opposite to the end where the second sealing plate slides out of the first sealing plate. A connector is used for connecting the first sealing plate to the sealing plate joint, such that the first sealing plate and the sealing plate joint can rotate relatively by using the connector as the axis. A telescopic sealing plate assembly is formed through a relative sliding of the two sealing plates to adapt to the sizes of different windows.
