Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

A sealing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1-15, and the sealing device 100 may be used in a window type air conditioner 200. The window type air conditioner 200 can be installed in an installation opening 301 of a wall 300, and a movable window 400 is arranged in the installation opening 301.

As shown in fig. 1, 5 and 8, a sealing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a fixed member 1 and a sliding member 2.

As shown in fig. 13, the fixed member 1 may be coupled to a cabinet 201 of the window type air conditioner 200, and the sliding member 2 may be slidably engaged with the fixed member 1. The sliding member 2 may have a first position in which the sliding member 2 may coincide with the fixing member 1 and a second position in which the sliding member 2 may slidably protrude from the fixing member 1 and may contact the installation opening 301, and the fixing member 1 and the sliding member 2 may contact the window 400 to seal a gap between the window 400 and the installation opening 301, respectively.

It can be understood that when the window type air conditioner 200 is installed, a gap is formed between the window 400 and the installation opening 301, and if the gap is not sealed, the window type air conditioner 200 is easily exposed to a cold leakage phenomenon, thereby affecting the cooling and heating efficiency of the window type air conditioner 200. The sealing device 100 may be used to seal a gap between the window 400 and the installation opening 301, thereby preventing a cold leakage phenomenon from occurring in the window air conditioner 200 and improving the cooling and heating efficiency of the window air conditioner 200.

Specifically, one end of the fixing member 1 may be fixedly coupled to the cabinet 201 of the window type air conditioner 200, and the sliding member 2 may slide with respect to the fixing member 1, thereby adjusting the length of the sealing device 100. When the sealing device 100 is in transportation, the sliding member 2 may be in the first position, and the sliding member 2 and the fixing member 1 are overlapped, so that the occupied volume of the sealing device 100 may be reduced, and the sealing device 100 may be conveniently carried. When the sealing device 100 is operated, the sliding member 2 may be moved to the second position, and the sliding member 2 and the fixing member 1 may simultaneously abut against the inner wall of the installation opening 301, thereby blocking the gap between the installation opening 301 and the window 400.

Alternatively, when the sliding member 2 is in the second position, the sliding distance of the sliding member 2 relative to the fixed member 1 can be set according to actual use requirements. For example, when the distance between the outer peripheral wall of the cabinet 201 of the window type air conditioner 200 and the inner wall of the installation opening 301 is large, the extension distance of the slider 2 may be extended, and when the distance between the outer peripheral wall of the cabinet 201 of the window type air conditioner 200 and the inner wall of the installation opening 301 is small, the extension distance of the slider 2 may be shortened. Therefore, through the arrangement, the use flexibility of a user can be improved, the sealing device 100 can be suitable for the mounting ports 301 of different models, and the sealing effect of the sealing device 100 can be improved.

Alternatively, the sealing device 100 may be a non-metallic piece, which has the advantages of light weight and convenient assembly and disassembly. For example, the sealing device 100 may be made of non-metallic materials such as plastic, rubber, and silicone. Of course, the sealing device 100 may also be a metal member, which has the advantages of firm structure and long service life. For example, the sealing device 100 may be a sheet metal part.

According to the sealing device 100 of the embodiment of the invention, by arranging the fixed part 1 and the sliding part 2, the sliding part 2 can slide relative to the fixed part 1 so that the sealing device 100 blocks the gap between the window 400 and the installation opening 301, thereby achieving a good sealing effect. The sealing device 100 is simple in structure and convenient to operate, can be suitable for mounting ports 301 of different models, and greatly improves the use flexibility of users.

As shown in fig. 1-2, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the sealing device 100 may further include a positioning element 3, the fixing element 1 may have a plurality of first positioning holes 11 distributed at intervals, the sliding element 2 may have a plurality of second positioning holes 21 opposite to the first positioning holes 11, and in the second position, the positioning element 3 may pass through the first positioning holes 11 and cooperate with the second positioning holes 21 to position the sliding element 2, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing device 100.

In particular, the positioning element 3 may play a role in positioning the slider 2. When the sliding member 2 is located at the second position, the positioning member 3 can prevent the sliding member 2 from moving relative to the mounting opening 301, so that the sliding member 2 can be ensured to be closely attached to the inner wall of the mounting opening 301. In the specific example shown in fig. 2, the fixed member 1 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 11 penetrating therethrough in the up-down direction, and the slider 2 is provided with a plurality of second positioning holes 21 penetrating therethrough in the up-down direction. The distance between two adjacent first positioning holes 11 is the same as the distance between two adjacent second positioning holes 21. Therefore, through the arrangement, the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 21 can be aligned conveniently, and the positioning piece 3 can be inserted into the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 21 smoothly. Alternatively, the positioning member 3 may be a positioning pin, which is convenient to process and has a low cost, so that the use cost of the sealing device 100 can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 8 to 9, according to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 may be provided with a positioning portion 12, the other may be provided with a sliding rail 22 engaged with the positioning portion 12, the positioning portion 12 may have a deformed state and a positioned state, the sliding rail 22 may have a plurality of positioning grooves 221 spaced apart along a length direction of the sliding rail 22, in the positioned state, at least a portion of the positioning portion 12 may extend into the positioning groove 221 to restrict only a degree of freedom of movement of the sliding member 2 toward a direction close to the fixed member 1, and in the deformed state, the positioning portion 12 may be disengaged from the positioning groove 221. Thereby, the fitting of the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 can be made more firm, so that the sealing effect of the sealing device 100 can also be improved.

Specifically, the positioning portion 12 may be provided on the fixed member 1 and the slide rail 22 may be provided on the slider 2, or the slide rail 22 may be provided on the fixed member 1 and the positioning portion 12 may be provided on the slider 2. When the positioning portion 12 is in the positioning state, the positioning portion 12 always extends into the positioning groove 221 on the sliding guide rail 22, and the sliding member 2 can freely slide in a direction away from the fixed member 1. When the sliding member 2 slides toward the direction approaching the fixed member 1, the positioning portion 12 may abut against the inner circumferential wall of the positioning groove 221, whereby the sliding member 2 may be prevented from sliding toward the direction approaching the fixed member 1 when in the second position, and the sliding member 2 is ensured to be closely fitted with the inner wall of the mounting opening 301. When the distance between the window type air conditioner 200 and the installation opening 301 is reduced, the position fixing part 12 may be in a deformed state, and the position fixing part 12 may be separated from the position fixing groove 221, whereby the position fixing part 12 may freely slide.

As shown in fig. 10, in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning portion 12 may have a first inclined surface 122a and a second inclined surface 122b, an included angle α between the first inclined surface 122a and the reference surface is greater than 90 °, an included angle β between the second inclined surface 122b and the reference surface is 90 °, and the reference surface may be a horizontal plane parallel to the extending direction of the slide rail 22. Each of the positioning grooves 221 may have a third inclined surface 221a and a fourth inclined surface 221b, the third inclined surface 221a may be disposed in parallel with the first inclined surface 122a, the fourth inclined surface 221b may be disposed in parallel with the second inclined surface 122b, when the slider 2 moves in a direction away from the fixing member 1, the first inclined surface 122a and the third inclined surface 221a are slidably engaged, and when the slider 2 moves in a direction close to the fixing member 1, the second inclined surface 122b may be engaged with the fourth inclined surface 221b to limit the movement of the slider 2. Thus, the above arrangement makes the engagement between the positioning part 12 and the slide rail 22 simpler and more effective.

For example, as shown in fig. 10, the positioning portion 12 includes a connecting arm 121 and a fitting projection 122, the connecting arm 121 may be connected to the sliding member 2 or the fixed member 1, and the fitting projection 122 is connected to the connecting arm 121 and projects into the positioning groove 221. The fitting projection 122 has a first inclined surface 122a and a second inclined surface 122b, an angle α between the first inclined surface 122a and the horizontal plane is 120 °, and an angle β between the second inclined surface 122b and the horizontal plane is 90 °. The positioning groove 221 has a third inclined surface 221a and a fourth inclined surface 221b oppositely disposed in the left-right direction, the third inclined surface 221a is disposed in parallel with the first inclined surface 122a, and the fourth inclined surface 221b is disposed in parallel with the second inclined surface 122 b. When the positioning portion 12 is in the positioning state, the fitting projection 122 always extends into the positioning groove 221. When the positioning portion 12 is in the deformed state, the connecting arm 121 is elastically deformed, so that the assembling protrusion 122 can be driven to disengage from the positioning groove 221.

As shown in fig. 9, in some embodiments of the present invention, one of the fixed member 1 or the sliding member 2 is provided with a fitting groove 13, the positioning portion 12 may be provided in the fitting groove 13, and the positioning portion 12 may be an elastic member, thereby making the overall structure of the sealing device 100 more compact. For example, the positioning portion 12 may be provided on the fixing member 1, and the fixing member 1 is provided with the fitting groove 13 for accommodating the positioning portion 12, whereby the entire structure of the positioning portion 12 can be made more compact. Since the positioning portion 12 may be an elastic member, the elastic member may be elastically deformed, so that the positioning portion 12 may be conveniently separated from the positioning groove 221.

As shown in fig. 5-7, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixed member 1 can be sleeved on the sliding member 2, and in the first position, the sliding member 2 can be received in the fixed member 1, thereby making the way of engaging the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 simpler. Alternatively, both the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 may be provided as a hollow member, and at least one of the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 may be provided with a heat insulating layer. That is, the heat insulating layer may be provided only on the inner wall of the fixed member 1, only on the inner wall of the sliding member 2, or both the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2, thereby improving the heat insulating effect of the sealing device 100. Further, the heat insulation layer may be a rubber material, a foam material, or the like.

As shown in fig. 3-4, according to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 is provided with a slide rail 14, and the other is provided with a slide groove 23 slidably engaged with the slide rail 14, that is, the slide rail 14 may be provided on the fixed member 1, the slide groove 23 may be provided on the sliding member 2, the slide groove 23 may be provided on the fixed member 1, and the slide rail 14 may be provided on the sliding member 2, and the slide rail 14 may slidably engage with the slide groove 23, thereby making the engagement between the fixed member 1 and the sliding member 2 smoother.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, a portion of the upper end of the fixed member 1 extends upward to form two slide rails 14 arranged at intervals, and the bottom of the sliding member 2 is provided with two slide grooves 23 arranged at intervals. Each slide 14 can project into a corresponding slide groove 23 when the slide 2 is assembled with the fixed part 1. When the slider 2 is extended outward, the slide rail 14 is slidably engaged with the slide groove 23. Optionally, lubricating oil can be added into the sliding groove 23, so that the sliding rail 14 and the sliding groove 23 can be more smoothly matched. Alternatively, an adhesive layer may be disposed on an end surface of the sliding member 2 close to the mounting opening 301, and in the second position, the sliding member 2 may be in sealing engagement with an inner wall of the mounting opening 301 through the adhesive layer, thereby making the connection structure of the sealing device 100 and the mounting opening 301 more firm.

In the specific example shown in fig. 11-12, the fixed member 1 can be fitted with the sliding member 2 in a nested manner. Wherein, the fixed part 1 can define the matching space of the sliding part 2, and the sliding part 2 can define the matching space of the fixed part 1, therefore, the fixed part 1 and the sliding part 2 are firmly matched together. Through the arrangement, the matching structure of the fixing piece 1 and the sliding piece 2 is firmer, and the phenomenon of dislocation of the sliding piece 2 in the sliding process can be prevented.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, a flexible first sealing member may be provided on an outer surface of the sealing device 100, and a portion of the bottom wall of the window 400 may be stopped against the first sealing member, thereby improving the sealing effect between the window 400 and the sealing device 100. Specifically, when the window type air conditioner 200 is installed, the window 400 may move up and down, and a portion of the bottom wall of the window 400 may be stopped against the top surface of the sealing device 100. Since the first sealing member may be a flexible member, the first sealing member provided on the top surface of the sealing device 100 may be closely fitted to the bottom wall of the window 400, and the first sealing member provided on the bottom surface of the sealing device 100 may make the connection between the sealing device 100 and the inner wall of the installation opening 301 more tight, so that the fitting between the window 400, the sealing device 100, and the installation opening 301 may be more closely made.

Alternatively, the first sealing member may be made of a soft material such as sponge, silicone, rubber, or the like. Alternatively, the first sealing member may be disposed only on the top surface of the sealing device 100, or may be disposed only on the bottom surface of the sealing device 100, or may be disposed on both the top surface and the bottom surface of the sealing device 100, and the disposition may be selected according to actual use requirements, which is not limited in the present invention.

Alternatively, the first sealing element may be fixedly attached to the sealing device 100 by an adhesive, and the first sealing element may be attached to the sealing device 100 by a positioning pin. For example, a plurality of positioning pins may be provided at the bottom of the first sealing member, a plurality of mounting holes may be provided on the top surface of the sealing device 100, and each positioning pin may be inserted into a corresponding mounting hole when the first sealing member is assembled with the sealing device 100, whereby the first sealing member may be fixed to the sealing device 100.

The cabinet 201 may include a case 201a and a bottom plate 201b, a receiving groove 201a1 recessed downward may be formed on an outer circumferential wall of the case 201a, at least a portion of the window 400 may be inserted into the receiving groove 201a1, the bottom plate 201b may be disposed at a bottom of the case 201a and placed on the wall 300, and one end of the sealing device 100 may be connected to the cabinet 201. Specifically, when the window type air conditioner 200 is installed, the window type air conditioner 200 may be placed in the installation opening 301, the window 400 may move up and down with respect to the wall 300, and the window 400 may extend into the receiving groove 201a1 on the cabinet 201a when moving down, thereby making it possible to separate the indoor and outdoor portions of the window type air conditioner 200. The sealing device 100 may be used to seal the gap between the window 400 and the installation opening 301, so as to improve the sealing effect of the indoor space, and thus improve the cooling and heating effects of the window type air conditioner 200.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 15, a window frame 401 may be provided on an inner wall of the installation opening 301, and the bottom plate 201b may be placed on the window frame 401, thereby improving a sealing effect between the installation opening 301 and the window type air conditioner 200. When the window type air conditioner 200 is assembled, the window 400 may move downward relative to the wall 300 and extend into the receiving groove 201a1, and the sealing device 100 may be attached to the inner peripheral wall of the window frame 401, thereby improving the sealing effect between the window 400 and the mounting opening 301.

Optionally, the sealing device 100 may form a detachable connection with the casing 201, the sealing device 100 may be set to different models, the sealing device 100 of different models may have different lengths and heights, and a proper sealing device 100 may be selected according to the distance between the casing 201 and the installation opening 301 and the height difference between the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 201a1 and the inner wall of the installation opening 301, so that the applicability of the sealing device 100 may be improved, the matching structure between the sealing device 100 and the installation opening 301 may be tighter, and a better sealing effect may be achieved.

According to the window type air conditioner 200 of the embodiment of the invention, by arranging the sealing device 100, the sealing device 100 comprises the fixed part 1 and the sliding part 2, and the sliding part 2 can slide relative to the fixed part 1 so that the sealing device 100 blocks the gap between the window 400 and the installation opening 301, thereby achieving a good sealing effect. Moreover, the sealing device 100 is adjustable in length and can be applied to mounting ports 301 of different models, so that the mounting flexibility of the window type air conditioner 200 can be improved, and great convenience is brought to the actual use of a user.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, a flexible second sealing member may be provided on an inner wall of the receiving groove 201a1, and a portion of the bottom wall of the window 400 may be stopped against the second sealing member, thereby improving the sealing effect of the window type air conditioner 200. Specifically, when the window type air conditioner 200 is installed, the window 400 may be moved downward, and a portion of the bottom wall of the window 400 may be stopped against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 201a 1. Since the second sealing member may be a flexible member, the second sealing member may sealingly engage the bottom wall of the window 400, thereby allowing a tighter engagement between the window 400 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 201a 1.

Alternatively, the second sealing member may be made of a soft material such as sponge, silicone, rubber, or the like. Alternatively, the second sealing member may be fixedly attached to the inner wall of the receiving groove 201a1 by means of an adhesive, and the second sealing member may be attached to the inner wall of the receiving groove 201a1 by means of a positioning pin.
