Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the application.

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the application. In order to simplify the present disclosure, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. They are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the application. Furthermore, the present application may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and/or the use of other materials.

Next, a window air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the window air conditioner 100 includes: the outdoor unit body 2 and the inner unit part 101, the outdoor unit body 2 is suitable for being arranged at the outdoor side, the inner unit part 101 comprises an inner unit body 1 and a connecting bracket 3 connected with the inner unit body 1, the inner unit body 1 is suitable for being arranged at the indoor side, the connecting bracket 3 can be arranged on the window 200 in a penetrating mode, and the outer end of the connecting bracket 3 extends to be rotationally connected with the upper inner end of the outdoor unit body 2 so that the outdoor unit body 2 rotates around the upper inner end of the outdoor unit body 2.

The "the outer end of the connection bracket 3 extends to be rotatably connected to the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2" is intended to describe a position where the inner machine member 101 is connected to the outer machine body 2, and is not limited to a position where connection is achieved, and may be, for example, direct connection or indirect connection, and a position where a linking member used for indirect connection is not limited, and may be, for example, provided in the connection bracket 3 or provided in the inner machine body 1..

For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the outer machine body 2 is rotatable about a transverse axis (for example, an axis L shown in fig. 1) at an upper inner end of the outer machine body 2 for bottom elevation or lowering rotation. If the outer machine body 2 is rotated counterclockwise about the rotational connection position (e.g., position R shown in fig. 1), the bottom elevation rotation is possible, and for example, the configuration shown in fig. 3 and 4 can be changed. For example, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, if the outer machine body 2 is rotated clockwise about the rotational connection position (for example, the position R shown in fig. 3), the lower bottom portion can be rotated, and for example, the configuration shown in fig. 1 and 2 can be changed.

It should be noted that the pivotal connection of the outer end of the connection bracket 3 to the "pivotal connection" in the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2 is to be understood in a broad sense, not limited to being pivotable about one axis, for example, by hinging about one axis (such as the pivot axis L shown in fig. 1), but also, for example, by connecting a link, about two axes, and so on. In summary, the outer machine body 2 is rotatable relative to the inner machine part 101 about an upper inner end of the outer machine body 2 (e.g., the position R shown in fig. 1 and 3), so that the window air conditioner 100 can be changed in configuration to meet different practical requirements.

Thus, when the window type air conditioner 100 is installed, the outer machine body 2 can be rotated to the bottom to be raised (for example, the state shown in fig. 3 and 4), so that the outer machine body 2 can be easily pushed out from the indoor side to the outdoor side through the window 200, and after the outer machine body 2 is pushed out to the outdoor side, the outer machine body 2 is rotated to the bottom to be lowered to the normal position (for example, the state shown in fig. 1 and 2), thereby meeting the normal use requirement.

In addition, because the outer machine body 2 is rotatable around the upper portion inner of the outer machine body 2, the explanation rotates the position of connection and is located the upper portion inner department of the outer machine body 2, and then can use the position of rotation connection to be reliable rotation support, improves outer machine body 2 pivoted stability and reliability, simplifies the structure of outer machine body 2, reduce cost, simplify the assembly. In addition, the space range swept by the whole rotation of the outer machine body 2 can be reduced, and the driving moment required by driving the outer machine body 2 to rotate is reduced, so that the operation is more labor-saving, and the requirement on the opening height of the window 200 is lower.

In addition, in some embodiments, by designing the outer end of the connection bracket 3 to extend and be rotatably connected to the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2, so that it can be easily achieved by adjusting design parameters, the outer machine body 2 can be rotated to have the bottom surface flush with the bottom surface of the connection bracket 3 (e.g., as shown in fig. 3 and 4), and it should be noted that the "flush" herein may be completely flush, or substantially flush. Therefore, when the outer machine body 2 is pushed from the indoor side to the outdoor side, in the process that the outer machine body 2 passes through the window 200, the window type air conditioner 100 is almost free from moving in the vertical direction, and the connecting support 3 can immediately penetrate into the window 200 after the outer machine body 2, so that the operation is simplified, the operation is more labor-saving and convenient, and the assembly efficiency is higher.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a support assembly 108, wherein the support assembly 108 is connected between the connection bracket 3 and the outer machine body 2, and is used for providing resistance to the outer machine body 2 for preventing (not preventing) the outer machine body 2 from rotating in a bottom lowering manner. For example, the support members 108 may apply the support resistance by deforming or moving, etc., without limitation.

For example, when the outer casing 2 is rotated downward with the rotation thrust reduced relative to the bottom of the inner casing 101, the support assembly 108 can provide resistance to the outer casing 2, so as to avoid the problem of rapid downward rotation impact or drop of the outer casing 2, and improve the installation reliability and safety. Or, when the outer machine body 2 is rotated upwards by the rotation thrust relative to the inner machine part 101, but has a downward rotation trend by the action of gravity, the resistance provided by the supporting component 108 can enable the installer to rotate the outer machine body 2 upwards more labor-saving and easier.

It should be noted that, according to the window air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present application, when the window air conditioner 100 is installed to the window 200, the operation of raising the window air conditioner 100 as a whole so that the bottom wall of the outer machine body 2 exceeds the sill height and thus the outer machine body 2 is pushed out from inside to outside is avoided. Only the outer machine body 2 is required to be rotated and lifted, and the supporting function provided by the supporting component 108 is matched, so that the operation is more labor-saving. Moreover, since the window air conditioner 100 is not required to be integrally lifted and the outer machine body 2 is pushed out, the risk that the whole machine is inclined and falls to the outside due to the fact that the gravity center of the whole machine is high and difficult to control when the whole machine is pushed out from inside to outside is avoided, and therefore the installation safety is improved. Specifically, only the outer machine body 2 is required to be rotated and lifted, the inner machine part 1 can maintain the original lower height, and an installer can easily press the inner machine part 1 from top to bottom, so that the risk that the whole machine falls down and falls outwards is avoided.

It should be noted that the connection relationship between the inner machine body 1 and the connection bracket 3 is not limited, and may be, for example, a fixed connection or a sliding connection that is relatively movable in the longitudinal direction, and the like, which is not limited herein. When the inner machine body 1 is fixedly connected with the connecting bracket 3, at least part of the connecting bracket 3 is always positioned on the outer side of the inner machine body 1, so that the outer machine body 2 is longitudinally spaced from the inner machine body 1. When the inner unit body 1 and the connecting bracket 3 are slidably connected in the longitudinal direction, and the window air conditioner 100 is in a use mode (for example, the mode shown in fig. 1 and 2), at least a portion of the connecting bracket 3 is located outside the inner unit body 1, so that the outer unit body 2 is spaced apart from the inner unit body 1 in the longitudinal direction. When the inner unit body 1 and the connection bracket 3 are slidably connected in the longitudinal direction, and the window air conditioner 100 is in an installed configuration (e.g., the configuration shown in fig. 3 and 4), the connection bracket 3 may be stacked on the upper portion of the inner unit body 1 so that the inner unit component 1 and the outer unit body 2 are in a state of being adjacent to each other, or at least a portion of the connection bracket 3 may be located on the outer side of the inner unit body 1 so that the inner unit body 1 and the outer unit body 2 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction.

When the inner machine body 1 and the connecting support 3 are in sliding connection capable of moving relatively along the longitudinal direction, the relative longitudinal positions of the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 can be adjusted, so that the longitudinal distance between the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 is reduced, packaging and transportation are facilitated, and the longitudinal interval distance between the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 can be matched with the longitudinal size requirements of different windowsills.

It should be noted that, the window-type air conditioner 100 described herein is suitable for being disposed in the window 200, the inside-outside direction of the window 200 (i.e., the direction penetrating the window 200) is "longitudinal", the width direction of the window 200 is "transverse", and the height direction of the window 200 is "vertical". In short, when the window air conditioner 100 is in a use configuration (e.g., the configuration shown in fig. 1 and 2), the inner unit body 1 is spaced apart from the outer unit body 2 in an inner-outer direction, the inner unit body 1 is provided at an indoor side for adjusting an indoor environment temperature or the like, and the outer unit body 2 is provided at an outdoor side for exchanging heat with an outdoor environment.

For example, in some alternative examples, the inner unit body 1 may include an indoor side heat exchanger, an indoor side fan, etc., and the outer unit body 2 may include a compressor, an outdoor side heat exchanger, an outdoor side fan, etc., and a refrigerant line is connected between the inner unit body 1 and the outer unit body 2, so that the indoor side heat exchanger, the outdoor side heat exchanger, the compressor, etc. constitute a refrigerant circulation system to implement a refrigeration cycle or a heating cycle. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and for example, in other embodiments of the present application, an indoor side fan, an outdoor side fan, etc. may be omitted, which is not exemplified herein.

Alternatively, the exterior body 2 has a first state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 1 and 2) in which the back plate of the exterior body 2 (e.g., the first back plate 21 shown in fig. 3) is vertically placed and a second state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 3 and 4) in which the back plate of the exterior body 2 (e.g., the first back plate 21 shown in fig. 3) is horizontally placed, and the exterior body 2 is adapted to be rotated from the first state to the second state by upward rotation about the rotation connection position. Thereby, the installation of the window air conditioner 100 is facilitated.

It should be noted that "vertical" as used herein is vertical or substantially vertical, and "horizontal" is horizontal or substantially horizontal, as broadly understood. In addition, it should be noted that, when the window air conditioner 100 is in the use configuration, the back plate of the outer unit body 2 (i.e., the first back plate 21) refers to a side structure of the outer unit body 2 facing the wall at the window, for example, when the outer unit body 2 is in a closed structure, the first back plate 21 may be a side wall surface of the housing of the outer unit body 2, and for example, when the outer unit body 2 is in a semi-open structure, the first back plate 21 may also be a side wall surface of the condenser.

It should be noted that the phrase "the outer machine body 2 is adapted to rotate from the first state to the second state by rotating upward" is intended to describe that the outer machine body 2 has the capability of switching between the two states by rotating, but is not limited to the fact that the switching between the two states must be achieved by driving the rotation of the outer machine body 2, and for example, when the switching between the states of the outer machine body 2 is required, the switching may be achieved by driving the rotation of the outer machine body 2 or the rotation of the inner machine member 101, which falls within the scope of the present application.

For example, when the window air conditioner 100 assumes a use configuration (e.g., as shown in fig. 1 and 2), the exterior body 2 may be changed to the first state. When the window air conditioner 100 needs to be changed to the installation configuration (for example, as shown in fig. 3 and 4), the exterior body 2 may be changed to the second state. In addition, when the window air conditioner 100 is switched between the use mode and the installation mode, the position and the mode of the indoor unit body 1 may be changed or may not be changed, and the present application is not limited thereto.

It will be appreciated that the vertical height position of the rotational connection position of the connection bracket 3 and the outer machine body 2 may be maintained unchanged whether the outer machine body 2 is in the first state or the second state, and when the outer machine body 2 is in the first state, the rotational connection position is located at the upper height position of the outer machine body 2, and when the outer machine body 2 is in the second state, the back plate of the outer machine body 2 is lifted to a horizontal state, so that the rotational connection position corresponds to the lower height position of the outer machine body 2.

That is, it corresponds to substantially: when the outer machine body 2 presents the first state, the whole outer machine body 2 is generally lower than the rotating connection position, and when the outer machine body 2 presents the second state, the whole outer machine body 2 is generally higher than the rotating connection position. Therefore, when the outer machine body 2 is changed from the first state to the second state, the whole relative rotation connecting position of the outer machine body 2 is lifted, so that the outer machine body 2 can be easily pushed out from the window 200 from the indoor side to the outdoor side, and the installation difficulty of the window type air conditioner 100 can be reduced, so that the window type air conditioner 100 is more labor-saving to install.

Saddle formula window machine among the related art, interior machine is fixed relatively with outer machine, and the upper end of interior machine is connected with the upper end of outer machine, and during the installation, needs to wholly raise saddle formula window machine, and outside the window was released to outer machine, this operation was comparatively laborious, and the outer machine had the risk of outwards falling. In the window air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, the outer unit body 2 is rotatably provided, so that the above-mentioned technical problems can be effectively solved.

For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the outer machine body 2 may be rotated 90 ° about the rotational connection position from a first state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 1 and 2) to a second state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 3 and 4). For example, the inner machine part 101 may be turned 90 ° by lifting the inner machine part 101, or the inner machine part 101 may be turned to a vertical state (for example, as shown in fig. 5), or the outer machine body 2 may be turned 90 ° by lifting the outer machine body 2, or the outer machine body 2 may be turned to a horizontal position (for example, as shown in fig. 3). In this process, the outer machine body 2 can be easily changed to the second state by the supporting resistance of the supporting component 108.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the outer machine body 2 rotates 90 ° to the second state, the lower bottom surface of the outer machine body 2 is flush with the lower bottom surface of the connection bracket 3, so that the outer machine body 2 and the connection bracket 3 can be smoothly and smoothly pushed out. Referring to fig. 6 and 7, after the outdoor unit body 2 reaches the outdoor side, under the action of the supporting component 108, the outdoor unit body 2 can slowly rotate and drop, and the outdoor unit body 2 can rotate 90 ° to return to the first state (for example, the state shown in fig. 7), so that the window air conditioner 100 is installed and fixed, and is safe and reliable. Therefore, the problems that the saddle type window machine is difficult to install and the outer machine is too heavy to be directly lifted from the window 200 to the outdoor side for installation can be effectively solved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 6, the window air conditioner 100 may further include a latch assembly including a first latch 61 and a second latch 62, the first latch 61 being provided on the inner unit 101, the second latch 62 being provided on the outer unit body 2, the first latch 61 and the second latch 62 being lockable to prevent the outer unit body 2 from being reversed in a direction to return to the first state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 1) when the outer unit body 2 assumes the second state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 3), and the outer unit body 2 being reversed in a direction to return to the first state when the first latch 61 and the second latch 62 are disengaged (e.g., the state shown in fig. 6), so as to be shifted back to the first state (e.g., the state shown in fig. 7) when the first latch 61 and the second latch 62 are disengaged. Thus, by providing the buckle assembly, the exterior body 2 can be stably and reliably stopped in the second state, so that the window air conditioner 100 can be installed.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, at least one support assembly 108 is a first support assembly 8, the first support assembly 8 includes a first support 81 and a second support 82 that are relatively slidable, an energy storage medium is provided between the first support 81 and the second support 82, one end of a length of the first support 81 away from the second support 82 is rotatably connected to the connection bracket 3, and one end of a length of the second support 82 away from the first support 81 is rotatably connected to the outer machine body 2. Therefore, the first support component 8 can be extended and contracted by the relative sliding of the first support member 81 and the second support member 82, and the support is realized by using the energy storage medium, for example, when the outer machine body 2 rotates downwards, the first support member 81 and the second support member 82 move relatively to shorten the first support component 8, and at the moment, the energy storage medium is compressed, and the energy storage medium can provide a supporting force to buffer the acting force of the downward rotation of the outer machine body 2.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8, one of the first support member 81 and the second support member 82 is a sleeve, the other is a plunger rod, the plunger rod is slidably disposed through the sleeve, and the energy storage medium is a gas, a liquid, or a spring 83 disposed in the sleeve. That is, the first support member 8 may be a pneumatic rod, a hydraulic rod, a spring telescopic rod, or the like. Therefore, through the structural design, the stability and reliability of the relative sliding of the first support member 81 and the second support member 82 can be ensured, and the energy storage medium has more optional types and can reliably and stably play a supporting role.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 9-11, at least one supporting component 108 is a second supporting component 7, the second supporting component 7 includes a pull rod 71 and a return spring 74, a sliding groove 72 extending along a longitudinal direction is provided on the connecting bracket 3, two ends of the pull rod 71 are a first end 711 and a second end 712, respectively, the first end 711 is rotatably connected with the outer machine body 2, the second end 712 is slidably and rotatably matched with the sliding groove 72, and the return spring 74 is connected between the connecting bracket 3 and the second end 712 to provide an elastic force that the second end 712 slides towards an inner end of the sliding groove 72 (i.e. an end of the sliding groove 72 near the indoor side).

Thus, the pull rod 71 may be moved by the rotation of the outer machine body 2 relative to the connection bracket 3, so that the linked return spring 74 expands and contracts to provide support by the return spring 74, for example, when the outer machine body 2 rotates downward, the second end 712 of the pull rod 71 slides toward the outer end of the slide groove 72 (i.e., the end of the slide groove 72 near the outside of the room), pulling the return spring 74 to extend, at which time the return spring 74 may provide an elastic force to buffer the downward rotation of the outer machine body 2.

Further, as shown in fig. 9 to 11, the inner end of the slide groove 72 has a catch groove 73 extending upward, and when the second end 712 is fitted in the catch groove 73, the outer machine body 2 is prevented from reversing toward the direction of returning to the first state. For example, when the outer machine body 2 rotates to the second state, the second end 712 of the pull rod 71 may slip toward the indoor side and enter the detent groove 73, and at this time, even if the outer machine body 2 has a downward rotation tendency under the action of gravity, the outer machine body 2 cannot slip toward the outdoor side along the chute 72 due to the second end 712 of the pull rod 71 being caught in the detent groove 73, thereby preventing the outer machine body 1 from rotating toward the first state.

In addition, the return spring 74 can apply an elastic force to the second end 712, which moves towards the clamping groove 73, so that when the second end 712 of the pull rod 71 enters the clamping groove 73, the pull rod 71 can be applied with force under the action of the return spring 74, so that a more stable limit is formed, and the outer machine body 2 is prevented from reversing.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 12, support assemblies 108 are disposed outside the lateral sides of the outer machine body 2, where the support assemblies 108 may be the first support assembly 8 or the second support assembly 7, but are not limited to the first support assembly 8 and the second support assembly 7, and may be other support assemblies. Thus, the support assembly 108 is provided therein for ease of installation, viewing, maintenance, etc.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 13, at least one support member 108 is disposed on the back side of the outer machine body 2 (i.e., the side of the window air conditioner 100 facing the wall in the usage mode), where the support member 108 may be the first support member 8 or the second support member 7, but is not limited to the first support member 8 and the second support member 7, i.e., may be other types of support members. Thus, the support members 108 are provided therein so as not to occupy a space other than the lateral sides of the outer machine body 2, so that the window air conditioner 100 occupies a smaller lateral space when in use and packaged.

When the back side of the outer machine body 2 is provided with at least one support member 108, in some alternative examples, as shown in fig. 13, the back side of the outer machine body 2 has a mounting rib 211, and the support member 108 is mounted to a lateral side of the mounting rib 211. Thereby facilitating connection, viewing and servicing of the support assembly 108.

When the back side of the outer machine body 2 is provided with at least one support member 108, in other alternative examples, as shown in fig. 14, the back side of the outer machine body 2 has a recess 212, with the support member 108 mounted within the recess 212. That is, at least a portion of the support assembly 108 is mounted within the recess 212, and the support assembly 108 may at least partially enter the recess 212 during rotation. Therefore, the groove 212 can be utilized to avoid the supporting component 108, so that the space occupied by the supporting component 108 on the back side of the outer machine body 2 is reduced as much as possible, and the outer machine body 2 can be closer to a wall body.

It should be noted that, the above-mentioned multiple positions may be simultaneously provided with the supporting component 108, for example, as shown in fig. 15, etc., the supporting components 108 are respectively disposed outside the two lateral sides of the outer machine body 2, and the back side of the outer machine body 2 is also provided with at least one supporting component 108, so that the supporting effect can be better improved.

In some embodiments of the present application, the outer machine body 2 is pivotally connected to the inner machine part 101 such that the outer machine body 2 is rotatable relative to the inner machine part 101 about a single pivot axis L extending in a lateral direction and located at an upper inner end of the outer machine body 2. Thus, when one of the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine part 101 is used as a rotating part and the other is used as a static part, when the force is applied to enable the rotating part to rotate relative to the static part, only one pivot axis L of the rotating part rotating relative to the static part is unique, and a plurality of pivot axes L are not present, so that the rotating track of the rotating part relative to the static part can be ensured to be definite, and when the form of the window type air conditioner 100 needs to be changed, the rotating part can rotate relative to the static part around the unique pivot axis L, and the bottom of the outer machine body 2 can be easily lifted or lowered.

And, because the pivoting connection of the inner machine part 101 and the outer machine body 2 has a unique pivoting axis L, the rotating part can rotate around the unique pivoting axis L relative to the static part, and the rotating part is stably and reliably pulled to rotate according to a determined track, so that the window air conditioner 100 can be effectively ensured to reliably and effectively change the form. Moreover, the rotating track of the rotating part is determined and the rotating connecting position is used as a support, so that the rotating part is driven to rotate, the operation is simple, smooth and labor-saving, and the stability and the reliability of the rotating support are better.

Optionally, the inner machine part 101 is provided with a first hinge member 41, the outer machine body 2 is provided with a second hinge member 42, and the first hinge member 41 and the second hinge member 42 are hinged into a hinge assembly 106, so that the outer machine body 2 is rotatable relative to the inner machine part 101 about a unique pivot axis L extending in a lateral direction and located at an upper inner end of the outer machine body 2. Thus, by providing the hinge assembly 106, a pivotal connection of the inner machine part 101 to the outer machine body 2 can be achieved such that one of the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine part 101 is rotatable relative to the other about a unique pivot axis L extending in a transverse direction for changing the configuration of the window air conditioner 100. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present application, the inner machine part 101 and the outer machine body 2 may be pivotally connected by other manners, such as through a bearing or a shaft connection, etc., which will not be described herein.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 16, the first hinge 41 and the second hinge 42 are pivotally connected by a damping hinge shaft 43. Specifically, the damping rotating shaft 43 can adopt a spring washer, and the rotating moment can be adjusted according to the requirement, so that the problem that the outer machine body 2 drops rapidly when rotating is solved, and the damping rotating shaft 43 is strong enough in structure and can effectively support the outer machine body 2 to rotate.

In some embodiments, the hinge assembly 106 may be an exposed hinge a, in which case the first hinge member 41 may be mounted outside the top wall of the connecting bracket 3 (e.g., as shown in fig. 18), or the first hinge member 41 may be mounted outside the bottom wall of the connecting bracket 3 (e.g., as shown in fig. 19), or the like. Thereby, the installation and inspection can be simplified. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 16 and 17, the hinge assembly 106 may be a built-in hinge b, and in this case, the window air conditioner 100 may further include: the shielding shell 51 is positioned between the outer end of the connecting bracket 3 and the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2, and is used for shielding the corresponding part of the hinge assembly 106. That is, the part of the hinge assembly 106 corresponding to the shielding shell 51 can be shielded by the shielding shell 51, so that the hinge assembly 106 can be effectively protected, the hinge assembly 106 is prevented from being damaged by collision and eroded by liquid, and the service life and the working reliability of the hinge assembly 106 are ensured.

For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the window air conditioner 100 is in the use configuration, the inner unit body 1 is spaced apart from the outer unit body 2 in the inward-outward direction, the bottom plate (i.e., the second bottom plate 12) of the inner unit body 1 is downward, the top plate (i.e., the second top plate 13) is upward, the panel (i.e., the second panel 14) is inward, and the back plate (i.e., the second back plate 11) is outward. The bottom plate (i.e., the first bottom plate 22) of the outer machine body 2 is downward, the top plate (i.e., the first top plate 23) is upward, the face plate (i.e., the first face plate 24) is outward, and the back plate (i.e., the first back plate 21) is inward. The outer machine body 2 is rotatable relative to the inner machine part 101 about a single pivot axis L extending in the transverse direction and located at the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, if the outdoor unit body 2 is pulled upward to pivot the outdoor unit body 2 in a counterclockwise direction about the pivot axis L, the window air conditioner 100 assumes an installed state when the outdoor unit body 2 is rotated 90 °, with the bottom plate (i.e., the first bottom plate 22) of the outdoor unit body 2 facing the outdoor side, the top plate (i.e., the first top plate 23) facing the indoor side, the front plate (i.e., the first front plate 24) facing upward, and the rear plate (i.e., the first rear plate 21) facing downward. The inner machine body 1 still keeps the bottom plate (i.e., the second bottom plate 12) downward, the top plate (i.e., the second top plate 13) upward, the panel (i.e., the second panel 14) toward the indoor side, and the back plate (i.e., the second back plate 11) toward the outdoor side.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, if the inner unit 101 is pulled upward to pivot the inner unit 101 in a clockwise direction about the pivot axis L, the window air conditioner 100 is in an intermediate configuration when the inner unit 101 is rotated 90 °, with the bottom plate (i.e., the second bottom plate 12) of the inner unit body 1 facing the indoor side, the top plate (i.e., the second top plate 13) facing the outdoor side, the front plate (i.e., the second front plate 14) facing upward, and the rear plate (i.e., the second rear plate 11) facing downward. The outer machine body 2 still keeps the bottom plate (i.e., the first bottom plate 22) downward, the top plate (i.e., the first top plate 23) upward, the face plate (i.e., the first face plate 24) outward, and the back plate (i.e., the first back plate 21) inward. It will be appreciated that the window air conditioner 100 (shown in fig. 5) in its intermediate configuration is rotated 90 ° counterclockwise as a whole, and the window air conditioner 100 may assume its installed configuration (e.g., as shown in fig. 3).

To sum up, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the window air conditioner 100 is in the use form, the pivot axis L is located at the upper height position of the outer machine body 2, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the window air conditioner 100 is in the installation form, the pivot axis L is located at the lower height position of the outer machine body 2, and since the vertical height of the pivot axis L is unchanged, the whole outer machine body 2 is lifted up, so that the outer machine body 2 can be easily pushed out from the indoor side to the outdoor side through the window 200 under the condition that the state of the inner machine body 1 is unchanged, the installation difficulty of the window air conditioner 100 is reduced, the installation of the window air conditioner 100 is more labor-saving, the control is easy, and the risk that the whole air conditioner falls sideways outdoors is reduced.

It will be appreciated that if the window air conditioner 100 is maintained in the use state all the time, the window air conditioner 100 needs to be lifted up as a whole when the outer machine body 2 needs to be pushed out from the window 200, and the operation is laborious. Moreover, if the window air conditioner 100 is always kept in the usage mode, when the whole machine is lifted to push out the whole machine, the whole machine is slightly higher in gravity center due to the fact that the height of the inner machine part 101 is also higher (for example, higher than the bottom edge height of the window 200), so that the problem that the outer machine body 2 is inclined outwards is solved, and the control is difficult, and the danger is caused.

In the window-type air conditioner 100 according to some embodiments of the present application, since the inner unit 101 can be maintained at the height of the usage mode, for example, lower than the bottom edge of the window 200, the installer can easily press the inner unit 1 from the top of the inner unit 1, thereby avoiding the problem that the outer unit 2 falls down and falls down, and being easy to control and reduce the risk.
