Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, technical solutions between various embodiments may be combined with each other, but must be realized by a person skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be realized, such a combination should not be considered to exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides an embodiment of a window type air conditioner, which can be installed on a window frame of a wall to cool or heat an indoor environment. The window type air conditioner is high in stability when being installed on a window frame, and the side turning of the window type air conditioner is not prone to happening.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment of the window type air conditioner 100 of the present invention, the window type air conditioner 100 includes a housing 110 and a positioning member 300. The positioning member 300 is mounted to the housing 110, and the positioning member 300 is configured to be switchable between a storage state and an operating state, wherein: in the storage state, the positioning member 300 is stored in the housing 110; in the working state, the positioning member 300 is extended from a lateral side of the cabinet 110 to be adapted to be positioned in connection with the window frame 600 (as shown in fig. 2 and 3).

Specifically, the structure of the positioning member 300 is not limited, for example, the positioning member 300 may be disposed in a long strip shape, and the positioning member 300 may be a rod-shaped or plate-shaped structure. The positioning piece 300 can be a plastic piece or a sheet metal piece and can be selected according to strength requirements. When the positioning member 300 is in the storage state, the positioning member 300 may be stored in a sidewall of the housing 110, or may be stored in the housing 110. When the positioning member 300 is in an operating state, the positioning member 300 may be fixedly connected to the side frame plate or the bottom frame plate of the window frame 600. The fastening means can be designed in various ways, such as but not limited to: the positioning member 300 and the window frame 600 may be coupled and fixed by a screw structure or may be fixed by an insertion and fitting structure of the insertion groove 610.

According to the technical scheme of the invention, the positioning piece 300 is arranged on the shell 110 of the window type air conditioner 100, the positioning piece 300 has a storage state and a working state, and the positioning piece 300 can be switched between the storage state and the working state, so that when the window type air conditioner 100 is installed and used, the positioning piece 300 is switched to the working state, the outer end of the positioning piece 300 is connected and fixed with the window frame 600, the window type air conditioner 100 is fixed on the window frame 600 by the positioning piece 300, the window type air conditioner 100 is firmly and stably installed, and the side turning to the indoor side or the outdoor side is not easy to occur. When the window type air conditioner 100 is carried or stored, the positioning member 300 can be switched to the storage state, so that the lateral space occupied by the positioning member 300 on the window type air conditioner 100 is reduced, and the window type air conditioner 100 is conveniently carried or stored.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in an embodiment, a separation groove 113 is formed on the housing 110, and the separation groove 113 is adapted to allow the shielding member 700 at the window frame 600 to extend into. The partition groove 113 partitions the cabinet 110 into an indoor side case 111 and an outdoor side case 112. The indoor side casing 111 is provided with indoor units (such as an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan), and the outdoor side casing 112 is provided with outdoor units (such as an outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor fan). The separating groove 113 can block the noise generated by the outdoor environment or the outdoor unit, reduce the transmission of the noise to the indoor room, and is beneficial to reducing the noise. It should be noted that the shielding element 70030 may be a window sash, a louver, a curtain, or the like, which can shield light, or may be other shielding window plates, which can shield external objects from entering the room.

Accordingly, in order to facilitate the storage of the positioning member 300, the positioning member 300 may be mounted to the separation groove 113 to be stored in the separation groove 113 in the storage state, so that the space of the separation groove 113 may be fully utilized, and a space for storing the positioning member 300 may not be additionally configured on the housing 110. Of course, in other embodiments, a receiving space for receiving the positioning member 300 may be formed on a side wall or inside of the housing 110.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, the positioning member 300 may be detachably mounted to the separation groove 113 in a manner that the positioning member 300 is mounted to the separation groove 113. When the positioning member 300 needs to be used, the positioning member 300 is installed on the housing 110, and after the positioning member 300 is installed, the positioning member 300 is directly in a working state; when the positioning member 300 is not needed, the positioning member 300 is detached from the housing 110 and placed in the separation groove 113 to be switched to the storage state.

In addition to the above-described mounting method, the spacer 300 may be movably mounted to the separation groove 113 in a manner of mounting the spacer 300 to the separation groove 113. When the positioning member 300 needs to be used, the positioning member 300 is moved to extend out from the lateral direction of the casing 110 to be switched to a working state; when the positioning member 300 is not needed, the positioning member 300 is moved to be received in the separation groove 113 to switch to the receiving state. As to the movable mounting of the retainer 300, there are also various design types. Specific examples include the following three types:

in one embodiment, the positioning member 300 is rotatably mounted to the separation groove 113 to switch the state by rotation. For example, one end of the positioning member 300 is rotatably mounted to the separation groove 113, and the positioning member 300 is turned inside and outside the separation groove 113, thereby switching between the storage state and the operating state of the positioning member 300.

In another embodiment, the positioning member 300 is slidably mounted to the separation groove 113 to switch the state by sliding. For example, a slide rail extending along the length direction of the separation groove 113 is formed at the bottom of the separation groove, and the positioning member 300 is slidably engaged with the slide rail, so that the positioning member 300 slides along the inside and outside of the separation groove 113, and the positioning member 300 can be switched between the storage state and the working state.

In yet another embodiment, the positioning member 300 is drawably mounted to the separation groove 113 to switch the state by sliding. For example, a receiving cavity 210 extending along the length direction of the separating slot 113 is formed at the bottom of the separating slot 113, and then the positioning member 300 is installed in the receiving cavity 210 in a drawable manner (similar to the installation manner of a drawer), so that the positioning member 300 is drawn along the inner and outer directions of the separating slot 113, and the positioning member 300 can be switched between the storage state and the working state.

Specifically, the positioning member 300 is installed in the latter embodiment, that is, the positioning member 300 is installed in the separation groove 113 in a drawable manner. Referring to fig. 2, the window type air conditioner 100 further includes a partition member 200 installed at the bottom of the partition groove 113, the partition member 200 being adapted to be supported by the shielding member 700. Referring to fig. 6 to 8, optionally, to facilitate the drawable installation of the positioning member 300, a receiving cavity 210 extending along the length direction of the dividing member 200 is formed inside the dividing member 200, two ends of the receiving cavity 210 are opened, and the positioning member 300 is drawable installed in the receiving cavity 210 from the opening of the receiving cavity 210.

Referring to fig. 6 to 8, if the window type air conditioner 100 is mounted on the window frame 600 and the positioning member 300 is needed to fix the window type air conditioner 100, the positioning member 300 can be partially withdrawn from the side of the accommodating cavity 210 of the partition member 200 until the outer end of the positioning member 300 abuts against the window frame 600 (at this time, the inner end of the positioning member 300 is still inserted into the accommodating cavity 210), and then the positioning member 300 and the window frame 600 are connected and fixed (e.g., screwed) to fix the window type air conditioner 100 on the window frame 600.

Referring to fig. 9, 11 and 12, if the positioning member 300 is not needed when the window type air conditioner 100 is transported or stored, the positioning member 300 can be inserted into the accommodating cavity 210, that is, the positioning member 300 is stored inside the partition member 200, so that the positioning member 300 is in the storage state.

At least two optional positioning members 300 are provided to ensure the installation stability of the window type air conditioner 100. The two positioning members 300 may or may not be identical in structure. When the two positioning members 300 have the same structure, the two positioning members 300 can be made as standard members, so that the same mold can be used for manufacturing, which facilitates mass production. Here, taking two positioning members 300 as an example, the two positioning members 300 are installed in the accommodating cavity 210 in a manner of being drawable from both ends thereof.

For convenience of description, the two positioning members 300 are defined as: a first positioning member 300a and a second positioning member 300 b. When the window frame 600 is used, the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b are respectively pulled out from two ends of the accommodating cavity 210 in opposite directions to be respectively connected and fixed with two opposite side frame plates of the window frame 600, and at this time, the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b are both in working states. When not in use, the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b are inserted into the accommodating cavity 210 from both ends thereof, respectively, and are stored back into the accommodating cavity 210, and at this time, both the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b are in a storage state.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, in an embodiment, considering that the space of the accommodating cavity 210 on the partition 200 is narrow, it is not easy to accommodate two positioning members 300 side by side therein. Therefore, in order to reduce the storage space required for the two positioning members 300, the two positioning members 300 may be arranged in a stacked manner in the storage state. This can reduce the lateral space occupied by the two positioning members 300, facilitating the accommodation in the accommodation chamber 210 of the partitioning member 200.

For the specific way of stacking the two positioning members 300 in the storage state, the corresponding design can be performed according to the structure of the positioning members 300. Specifically, the positioning member 300 includes a main plate 310 and side plates 320 (see fig. 14 and fig. 15) configured on two sides of the main plate 310, wherein a groove is formed between the two side plates 320 and the main plate 310, and the side plate 320 of one positioning member 300 is inserted into the groove of another positioning member 300, so that the two positioning members 300 are stacked up and down.

For convenience of description, in fig. 13, 310a and 320a are respectively indicated as a main plate body and a side plate of the first positioning member 300 a; 310b and 320b are respectively denoted as a main plate body and a side plate of the second positioning member 300 b. When the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b are received, the first positioning member 300a is inserted from one end of the accommodating cavity 210, and the groove of the first positioning member 300a is opened downwards; when the second positioning member 300b is inserted from the other end of the receiving cavity 210, the recess of the second positioning member 300b is opened upward. Until the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b meet, one of the side plates 320a of the first positioning member 300a is overlapped into the groove of the second positioning member 300b, and correspondingly, one of the side plates 320b of the second positioning member 300b is also correspondingly overlapped into the groove of the first positioning member 300a, and the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b are further pushed, so that the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b can be overlapped together (equivalent to being arranged in an up-down overlapping manner).

It is also considered that the receiving chamber 210 is formed inside the partitioning member 200, and it is inconvenient to see whether the inner ends of the two positioning members 300 are exactly corresponding when the two positioning members 300 are received, so that it is not easy to overlap the two positioning members 300. In order to solve the problem, a plurality of perspective ports 220 (as shown in fig. 9 to 12) are formed in the partition member 200 at the hollow top wall of the accommodating cavity 210, so that the inside of the accommodating cavity 210 can be viewed through the perspective ports 220, and then whether the inner ends of the two positioning members 300 are accurately corresponding or not can be viewed, if not, the user can finely adjust the positions of the two positioning members 300, so that the two positioning members 300 are overlapped, and the difficulty of accommodating the positioning members 300 is greatly reduced.

In other embodiments, in addition to the above-mentioned manner of stacking the two positioning members 300, a cavity may be formed in one of the positioning members 300, so that in the storage state, the other positioning member 300 is inserted into the cavity, so that the two positioning members 300 are stacked in the inward and outward directions, for example, one of the positioning members 300 is hollow to form a cavity, so that the other positioning member 300 can be inserted into the cavity of the previous positioning member 300, so that the two positioning members 300 can be stacked in the inward and outward directions.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 14, according to any of the above embodiments, in order to facilitate the connection between the positioning member 300 and the window frame 600, the end of the positioning member 300 is formed with a plug 330, and the plug 330 is adapted to be inserted into and connected with the slot 610 of the window frame 600. Specifically, the outer end of the retainer 300 may be cut such that the outer end of the retainer 300 forms a tip that forms the plug 330. This allows the plug 330 to be smaller and easier to insert into the slot 610 of the window frame 600. The plug-in connection mode does not need to use screws, and is simple and convenient to install and operate. The insertion slot 610 on the window frame 600 may be an insertion hole additionally formed on the window frame 600; the sliding groove of the window frame 600 for the vertical sliding of the shielding element 700 can also be used, so that no additional slot is needed.

In theory, when the positioning member 300 is in the operating state, the inner end of the positioning member 300 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 210, and the outer end of the positioning member 300 is inserted into the window frame 600, so that the window type air conditioner 100 and the window frame 600 can be connected and positioned. However, in order to ensure the firmness of inserting and positioning the inner end of the positioning member 300 into the accommodating cavity 210 in the working state, a connecting member (such as a screw) may be used to connect and fix the inner end of the positioning member 300 and the housing 110 or the separating member 200. However, the size of the window frame 600 is not generally uniform in consideration of different buildings, so that it is also necessary to adaptively adjust the length of the protrusion of the spacer 300 of the window type air conditioner 100, that is, the position where the spacer 300 is fixedly coupled to the cabinet 110 or the partition member 200.

Referring to fig. 6, 7 and 14, the position of the positioning member 300 fixed to the partitioning member 200 is adjustable for example. To achieve this, the end of the partition 200 is provided with a docking hole 230, the positioning member 300 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 311 arranged at intervals along the length direction thereof, and the positioning member 300 is adapted to be fixed to the housing 110 by sequentially passing one of the positioning holes 311 and the docking hole 230 through a connecting member. The attachment means may be a screw.

When the window type air conditioner 100 is fixed to the window frame 600, the laterally extending length of the two positioning members 300 (i.e., the first positioning member 300a and the second positioning member 300b) is adjusted, so that the positioning members 300 are correspondingly inserted into the slots 610 of the corresponding window frame 600; at this time, one of the positioning holes 311 of the positioning member 300 corresponds to the docking hole 230 of the partition member 200, and then the positioning hole 311 and the docking hole 230 are correspondingly inserted and fixed by using a connecting member. As shown in fig. 7, P₁Is shown as the position where the first positioning member 300a is connected and fixed with the partitioning member 200 by the connecting member, P₂The position where the second positioning member 300b is coupled and fixed with the partitioning member 200 using the coupling member is shown.

In consideration of the possibility of error, the positioning hole 311 of the positioning member 300 may not completely correspond to the docking hole 230 of the partitioning member 200, and at this time, the connecting member is not easily inserted into the positioning hole 311 and the docking hole 230 in sequence. Therefore, to solve this problem, the positioning hole 311 is formed in a long bar shape, and the positioning hole 311 extends along the length direction of the positioning member 300 (the positioning hole 311 is shown in fig. 15). Compared with the butting hole 230, the positioning hole 311 has a margin along the length direction thereof, and the margin can compensate for the dislocation between the positioning hole 311 and the butting hole 230 caused by errors, so that the applicability of accurate butting of the positioning hole 311 and the butting hole 230 is improved.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, according to any of the above embodiments, the window type air conditioner 100 further includes a sealing member 400, the sealing member 400 is movably mounted to the separation groove 113, and the sealing member 400 is adapted to be movably extended from a side of the separation groove 113 to be supported by the shielding member 700 and/or an inner wall of the window frame 600. That is, the seal 400 actually has a storage state and an operating state. In the seal 400, in the accommodated state of the seal 400, the seal 400 is accommodated in the separation groove 113 (as shown in fig. 16); in its operative condition, the seal 400 projects laterally from the partition 113 and is adapted to be held against the shield 700 and/or the inner wall of the window (as shown in figure 17).

Specifically, after the window type air conditioner 100 is installed on the window frame 600, the sealing member 400 is moved to its operating state, such that the sealing member 400 is laterally protruded from the separation groove 113 of the window type air conditioner 100, and the bottom surface of the sealing member 400 abuts against the bottom wall of the window; then, the shielding member 700 is pulled down to extend into the separation groove 113 of the window type air conditioner 100 until the lower edge of the shielding member 700 contacts and abuts against both the partition member 200 and the sealing member 400, and the sealing member 400 shields and seals the gap between the shielding member 700 and the bottom wall of the window frame 600. When the window type air conditioner 100 is not needed or is transported, the sealing member 400 is moved to the storage state, so that the space occupied by the sealing member 400 is reduced, and the window type air conditioner 100 can be conveniently stored or packaged.

There are various ways of removably mounting the seal 400. For example, the seal 400 is slidably mounted on the partition 200; alternatively, the sealing member 400 may be rotatably mounted to the partitioning member 200; alternatively, the sealing member 400 may be elastically and telescopically mounted to the partitioning member 200. Specifically, the seal 400 is rotatably mounted to the partitioning member 200 by a mounting seat 500 to be switched between its operating state and its housed state by rotation.

Referring to fig. 17 and 18, in an embodiment, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a mounting seat 500, the sealing element 400 is movably mounted to the separation groove 113 through the mounting seat 500, the sealing element 400 is inserted into the mounting seat 500, and the sealing element 400 is adapted to be fixed to the mounting seat 500 in an interference fit manner through deformation.

Specifically, the seal 400 is elongated. Seal 400 has multiple sides with a larger outer surface area to facilitate an increased sealing surface. The sealing element 400 is inserted into the mounting seat 500, and is fixed without additionally adding a buckle or a screw structure, so that the mounting is convenient and simple. Because the sealing element 400 can be elastically or flexibly deformed, the sealing element 400 can be flexibly or elastically deformed in the process of inserting and connecting the sealing element 400 and the mounting seat 500, so that the inserting portion between the sealing element 400 and the mounting seat 500 is connected more tightly, the sealing element 400 and the mounting seat 500 are not easy to separate, and the interference fit fixation is realized.

There are various designs for the movable mounting manner of the mounting seat 500, which is not specifically limited herein. Such as but not limited to: the mount 500 is slidably mounted to the separation groove 113; alternatively, the mounting seat 500 may be rotatably mounted to the separation groove 113; alternatively, the mounting seat 500 may be rollably mounted to the separation groove 113. The specific method can be selected according to the difficulty degree of assembly. Specifically, the mount 500 is rotatably mounted to the separation groove 113.

Referring to fig. 18 to 20, the mountable seat 500 is rotatably mounted to the separation groove 113. Specifically, optionally, the mounting seat 500 includes a bottom plate 510 and side plates 520 configured at two opposite sides of the bottom plate 510, wherein one end of the bottom plate 510 is configured with a rotating arm 511 rotatably connected to the separation groove 113, and a mounting slot 530 for inserting the sealing member 400 is formed between the bottom plate 510 and the two side plates 520.

Specifically, the bottom plate 510 and the two side plates 520 of the mounting seat 500 enclose a mounting slot 530, the mounting slot 530 is substantially U-shaped, and one end of the mounting slot 530 forms an insertion opening. The bottom plate 510 is rotatably mounted in the separation groove 113 at an end thereof remote from the insertion opening. When the sealing member 400 is mounted on the mounting seat 500, one end of the sealing member 400 is aligned with the insertion opening of the mounting slot 530 of the mounting seat 500, and then an external force is applied to the sealing member 400 to press the sealing member 400 into the mounting slot 530. In this process, the sealing member 400 is deformed by the pressing force of the inner wall of the installation slot 530, so that the sealing member 400 is tightly pressed in the installation slot 530, the sealing member 400 is tightly fitted with the installation seat 500, and the installation seat is not easily separated and has good installation stability.

Referring to fig. 18 to 20, in an embodiment, in order to facilitate the insertion of the sealing member 400 into the mounting slot 530, a guiding protrusion 521 may be protruded on an inner wall surface of the side plate 520, and the guiding protrusion 521 is elongated and extends along the insertion direction of the mounting slot 530. The guide protrusions 521 are integrally formed with the side plate 520. The number of the guide protrusions 521 is plural, and the plural guide protrusions 521 are arranged at intervals in the height direction of the side plate 520.

Therefore, during the process of inserting the sealing member 400 into the installation slot 530, the guiding convex strips 521 on the two side plates 520 cooperate to limit the insertion direction of the sealing member 400, so that the sealing member 400 is not easy to be dislocated and deviated from the installation slot 530, and the sealing member 400 is ensured to be accurately inserted into the installation slot 530. In addition, since the guiding convex strips 521 protrude from the inner wall surfaces of the side plates 520, the guiding convex strips 521 on the two side plates 520 can be matched with the compression sealing element 400, so that the sealing element 400 is easily deformed by compression and is matched with the mounting seat 500 more tightly, and is not easy to fall off from the mounting slot 530.

To ensure that the seal 400 can deform to be closely interposed with the mount 500, optionally, the seal 400 is made of a flexible material such that the seal 400 is flexibly deformable; alternatively, the sealing member 400 is made of an elastic material so that the sealing member 400 is elastically deformable. As for the specific material of the sealing member 400, there may be, but not limited to: hard sponge, deformable plastic, rubber or silica gel. In the working state of the sealing member 400, when the shielding member 700 is pressed downward against the surface of the sealing member 400, the sealing member 400 deforms, so that the sealing between the sealing member 400 and the shielding member 700 is tighter, a gap is not easily formed between the sealing member 400 and the shielding member 700, and the sealing and waterproof effects are effectively enhanced.

In one embodiment, the window frame 600 is generally of different sizes, requiring different lengths of the seal 400. Here, in order to adapt the seal 400 to different sizes of window frames 600, the seal 400 may also be cut to change the length of the seal 400. As mentioned above, the sealing member 400 is made of a flexible material or an elastic material, so that the sealing member 400 has a better softness, so that the user can cut the sealing member 400 with a cutting tool (e.g., a knife) commonly used in daily life to change the length thereof to fit the window frames 600 with different sizes.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in an embodiment, considering that the strength of the sealing member 400 is relatively small, the sealing member may be bent and excessively deformed during operation, so as to reduce the sealing effect of the sealing member 400. To avoid this, optionally, in the working state of the positioning element 300, the positioning element 300 abuts against the top surface of the sealing element 400, and the extending direction of the positioning element 300 is the same as the extending direction of the sealing element 400, so as to press the sealing element 400 against the window frame 600.

Specifically, the extending direction of the positioning element 300 is the same as the extending direction of the sealing element 400, and the positioning element 300 abuts against the top surface of the sealing element 400, that is, the positioning element 300 and the lower frame edge of the window frame 600 cooperate to clamp and limit the sealing element 400, so that the sealing element 400 is not easily bent, the strength of the sealing element 400 is effectively enhanced, the stability of the sealing element 400 in a working state is improved, and the sealing element 400 can normally work to realize sealing and water proofing.

Further, in order to ensure the stability of the positioning member 300 against the sealing member 400, a boss 410 is configured on the top surface of the sealing member 400, and one side surface of the boss 410 is flush with the inner side surface of the sealing member 400, so as to be suitable for the shielding member 700 to abut against; the sealing member 400 is formed with a receiving groove 420 at the other opposite side of the boss 410, and the receiving groove 420 is adapted to allow the positioning member 300 to pass therethrough to be coupled to the window frame 600.

Specifically, when the positioning element 300 is switched to its working state, the positioning element 300 sequentially passes through the accommodating cavity of the partition element, the avoiding groove and the accommodating groove 420 of the sealing element 400, until the plug connector at the outer end of the positioning element 300 is correspondingly inserted into the slot 610 at the window frame 600. At this time, the positioning element 300 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 420 of the sealing element 400, and similar to the situation that the positioning element 300 passes through the inside of the sealing element 400, the positioning element 300 is blocked by the boss 410, so that the positioning element 300 is not easy to be dislocated from the sealing element 400, and is tightly abutted to the accommodating groove 420. Because the positioning member 300 has higher strength, the positioning member 300 has the function of strengthening the strength of the sealing member 400, and the strength of the sealing member 400 is effectively strengthened, so that the sealing member is not easy to bend.

In addition, since the positioning member 300 is shielded by the protrusion 410, the positioning member 300 is not visible from the indoor room, and the positioning member 300 is prevented from affecting the overall appearance of the window type air conditioner 100. In addition, in the process of switching the positioning element 300 to the working state, the positioning element 300 is drawn out from the groove 410 at the rear side of the boss 410, and is guided by the boss 410 to be drawn out along the extending direction of the boss 410, and then directly penetrates into the slot 610 of the window frame 600, so that the plug 330 of the positioning element 300 is accurately inserted into and connected with the slot 610 of the window frame 600 correspondingly.

Referring to fig. 4, 9 and 10, in one embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the sealing member 400, a sinking groove 240 for movably installing the sealing member 400 is formed at an end of the partitioning member 200. In order to prevent the outer sidewall of the sinking groove 240 from interfering with the pulling of the positioning member 300, an avoiding groove 250 corresponding to the accommodating cavity 210 may be formed on the outer sidewall of the sinking groove 240, and the avoiding groove 250 is suitable for avoiding the positioning member 300 when the positioning member 300 is switched.
