Fig. 1 and 2 are exploded schematic views of a mobile air conditioner (lacking a blower volute assembly inside the housing). Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the mobile air conditioner 10 includes a housing 100, a supply volute assembly 200 (the supply volute assembly 200 is not shown in fig. 1 and 2, and is understood with reference to fig. 4 and 5), an exhaust volute assembly 300, a middle partition 400, and an electric control box assembly 500 (the electric control box assembly 500 is not shown in fig. 1 and 2, and is understood with reference to fig. 4 and 5).

The case 100 shown in fig. 1 and 2 includes a front case 130 and a rear case 140. The upper portion of the front case 130 is a front panel structure. The front case 130 and the rear case 140 are assembled by a connection method such as a screw hole, and thus the entire structure of the case 100 is formed. It is understood that the housing 100 may be formed of three of a front housing, a side housing and a rear housing, or may be formed by an integral molding process.

The air supply volute assembly 200, the air exhaust volute assembly 300, the middle clapboard 400 and the electric control box assembly 500 are all positioned inside the shell 100, and the middle clapboard 400 divides the space inside the shell 100 into an upper layer of installation space and a lower layer of installation space on the whole. An air supply volute component 200 is arranged in the upper layer installation space, and an air exhaust volute component 300 is arranged in the lower layer installation space. In other words, the supply volute assembly 200 is located above the center partition 400, while the exhaust volute assembly 300 is located below the center partition 400.

Fig. 1 to 5 each show a reference direction coordinate system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the orientation shown in the drawings, the blower volute assembly 200 and the partition 400 define a receiving space in the front-rear direction, and the electronic control box assembly 500 is located in the receiving space.

In a conventional mobile air conditioner, an electric control box assembly is usually arranged on the side surface of a shell, so that the width-direction structure of the whole mobile air conditioner cannot be compact. In the above embodiment, the air supply volute assembly and the air exhaust volute assembly of the mobile air conditioner are arranged in an upper layer and a lower layer, and are separated by the middle partition plate. The air supply volute component limits an accommodating space with the middle partition plate in the front-back direction, the electric control box component is arranged in the accommodating space below the air supply volute component and above the middle partition plate, the width of the machine body of the mobile air conditioner is reduced, the space at the lower part of the air supply volute component is effectively utilized, and the space utilization rate is improved.

Fig. 3 is an external structure diagram of a left view angle of the mobile air conditioner. In some embodiments, specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the outer contour of the blower volute assembly 200 is inclined from top to bottom toward the rear of the entire mobile air conditioner 10, so that the accommodating space is formed below the front end of the blower volute assembly 200. The accommodating space is a space defined by the center screen 400, the blower volute assembly 200 and the housing. It can be understood that the accommodating space can also be arranged below the rear end of the air supply volute component, and the electric control box component can be arranged below the rear end of the air supply volute component; the formation of the accommodating space is not limited to the way that the outer contour of the air supply volute component is inclined and transited downwards, and the accommodating space can be constructed through a stepped or sunken structural design and the like. It will be appreciated that one skilled in the art may also choose to construct a receiving space below the aft end of the supply volute assembly 200.

Fig. 4 and 5 are schematic diagrams of internal structures of the mobile air conditioner. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the blower volute assembly 200 includes an evaporator 220 and a blower volute 240, two ends of the evaporator 220 are bent with respect to a middle portion, and the shape of the evaporator 220 is adapted to the blower volute 240. When evaporator 220 is cut along a vertical cross section perpendicular to the left-right direction, a strip-shaped cross-sectional structure in which the upper and lower ends are bent with respect to the middle portion can be obtained.

The evaporator 220 adopts a structural design with two bent ends, so that compared with the structural design of a straight-line evaporator, the height of the evaporator is reduced, and the overall height of the mobile air conditioner is also reduced; compared with the straight-line evaporator with the same height, the structural design of bending the upper end and the lower end actually increases the surface area of the evaporator, namely the heat exchange area of the evaporator; furthermore, the evaporator 220 is matched with the air supply volute 240 in shape, so that the overall structure of the mobile air conditioner is compact, and the space utilization rate inside the mobile air conditioner is improved.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the air supply volute assembly 200 has a first air inlet duct and a first air outlet duct, the rear side of the casing 100 is provided with a first air inlet 600, the top of the casing is provided with a first air outlet 700, the first air inlet is communicated with the first air inlet duct, and the first air outlet 700 is communicated with the first air outlet duct. Specifically, the first air inlet is disposed at an upper portion of the rear side of the housing 100, corresponding to an area of an upper installation space where the air supply volute assembly is located.

Air enters the first air inlet duct of the air supply volute component from the rear side of the machine body and then flows out from the top of the machine body through the first air outlet duct. The air flow direction of the air supply volute assembly can be summarized as that air enters from the rear side of the shell and air exits from the upper portion of the shell. It can be understood that the first air inlet duct is communicated with the first air outlet duct. The conventional mobile air conditioner is supplied with air from the front side (usually the front panel) of the casing, i.e., cool air is output from the front side of the casing to the indoor. In this embodiment, cool air is output from the upper portion of the housing to the room. Compared with the traditional air supply structure design, the front side part of the shell is provided with a space for accommodating other components, such as an electric control box assembly. The structure design not only has reasonable air flow, but also makes the whole structure compact.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 4, in some embodiments, the mobile air conditioner 10 further includes an air deflector 720, and the air deflector 720 is rotatably disposed at the first air outlet 700. After the mobile air conditioner is started and operated, the air deflector 720 rotates to not shield the first air outlet 700, and cool air is output to the indoor; under the condition that the mobile air conditioner is not operated any more, the air deflector 720 rotates to shield the first air outlet 700 again, and no air flow is conveyed to the indoor space.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the mobile air conditioner 10 further includes a compressor 340, and the discharge volute assembly 300 includes a condenser 320 and a discharge volute 360. The bottom of the casing 100 is provided with a base plate 120, the exhaust volute 360, the condenser 320 and the compressor 340 are all located between the base plate 120 and the middle partition plate 400, and the exhaust volute 360, the condenser 320 and the compressor 340 are sequentially arranged in the left and right direction of the casing. The air exhaust volute, the condenser and the compressor are sequentially and tightly arranged in the space between the base plate and the middle partition plate, so that internal components of the air exhaust volute component are orderly and conveniently dismounted, and the whole mobile air conditioner is further compact in structure.

In some embodiments, the exhaust volute assembly 300 also includes an exhaust motor (not shown). Referring to fig. 4, the condenser 320 is disposed in a perpendicular manner to the axis of the exhaust motor. The air exhaust motor is used for generating driving air pressure and promoting the air to circularly flow in the air exhaust volute. The condenser, if placed obliquely to the exhaust motor shaft, occupies some space in the width direction of the housing. And the condenser is placed in a manner perpendicular to the shaft of the exhaust fan motor, so that the structure is more compact in the width direction of the casing (i.e., the left-right direction shown in fig. 1 and 2).

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the exhaust volute assembly 300 has a second air inlet duct and a second air outlet duct, a second air inlet 800 and a second air outlet 900 are disposed at the rear side of the casing 100, the second air inlet 800 is communicated with the second air inlet duct, and the second air outlet 900 is communicated with the second air outlet duct. It can be understood that the second air inlet duct is communicated with the second air outlet duct.

Air enters the second air inlet duct of the air exhaust volute component from the rear side of the machine body and then flows out from the rear side of the machine body again through the second air outlet duct. The air flow direction of the exhaust volute component can be summarized as that one part of the rear side of the shell enters air and the other part of the rear side of the shell exits air. The opening position of the second air outlet duct is used for connecting accessories such as an exhaust pipeline, and the air in the exhaust volute is exhausted outdoors through the exhaust pipeline. The air inlet and the air outlet which are related to the air exhaust volute component are uniformly arranged on the rear side of the shell, and the air exhaust volute component is tidy, ordered, compact in structure and convenient for installation of related accessories. The structure design not only has reasonable air flow, but also makes the whole structure compact.

In some embodiments, the opening of the second air outlet duct is extended to the position of the second air outlet 900. Note that the second outlet 900 is different from the opening of the second outlet duct. The second air outlet 900 is opened in the casing 100 of the mobile air conditioner, and the opening of the second air outlet duct is the end of the second air outlet duct of the air exhaust volute 360, and the air exhaust volute 360 is installed inside the casing 100.

In the traditional mobile air conditioner, a certain distance is reserved between the opening position of the second air outlet duct and the position of the second air outlet. When viewed from the flow direction of the discharged air, the air discharged by the exhaust volute does not reach the second air outlet, and flows out of the opening of the second air outlet duct. An exhaust duct is generally required to be installed at the position of the second air outlet of the mobile air conditioner, so that the air inside the mobile air conditioner is exhausted out of a room through the exhaust duct. However, the air exhausted from the exhaust volute of the conventional mobile air conditioner does not reach the second air outlet, but flows out of the opening of the second air outlet duct, and a complicated sealing structure has to be used to ensure that the air exhausted from the exhaust volute does not flow into the room. In the embodiment, the opening of the second air outlet duct (equivalent to the air outlet of the air exhaust volute) is extended and lengthened and extends into the second air outlet on the rear side of the casing, so that the opening of the second air outlet duct is in direct contact with air exhaust accessories such as an air exhaust pipeline and the like, the path length of air leakage is reduced, a sealing structure is not required to be additionally configured, and air leakage at the second air outlet is less.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the blower volute assembly 200 includes an evaporator 220 and a blower volute 240, the evaporator 220 and the blower volute 240 are both located above the middle partition, and the evaporator 220 and the blower volute 240 are sequentially arranged in the front-rear direction of the casing 100. The evaporator and the air supply volute are sequentially and tightly arranged on the middle partition plate, so that internal components of the air supply volute component are tidy and orderly, the air supply volute component is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and the whole mobile air conditioner is further compact in structure.

While embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
