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 may include: the indoor unit part 101, the outer machine body 2 and the linking bridge 3, the indoor unit part 101 is including being suitable for setting up at indoor side's indoor machine body 1, and outer machine body 2 is suitable for setting up at outdoor side, and linking bridge 3 is suitable for wearing to locate window 200 for be used for connecting indoor unit part 101 and outer machine body 2. Thus, the window air conditioner 100 can be made as a single integral part and used by penetrating the window 200.

It will be appreciated that the window air conditioner 100 described herein is adapted to be disposed in use within a window 200, with the inside-outside direction of the window 200 (i.e., the direction through the window 200) being "longitudinal", the width direction of the window 200 being "lateral", and the height direction of the window 200 being "vertical". In short, when the window air conditioner 100 is in a use configuration (for example, 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 disposed at an indoor side for adjusting an indoor environment temperature or the like, the outer unit body 2 is disposed at an outdoor side for exchanging heat with an outdoor environment, and the connection bracket 3 is disposed through the window 200 and connects the inner unit part 101 and the outer unit body 2. As used herein, the direction "in" refers to a direction toward or near the indoor side, and the direction "out" refers to a direction toward or near the outdoor side.

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.

As shown in fig. 1, the connection bracket 3 is connected between the upper portion of the inner machine member 101 and the upper portion of the outer machine body 2, and the inner machine member 101 is slidable in the inner and outer directions with respect to the connection bracket 3. Therefore, the inner machine body 1 can move relative to the connecting bracket 3, so that the form of the window type air conditioner 100 can be changed, and the installation requirement can be better met.

The "connection bracket 3 is connected between the upper portion of the inner machine part 101 and the upper portion of the outer machine body 2" is intended to illustrate the relative positions of the connection bracket 3 and the inner machine body 1 and the outer machine body 2, and is not limited to how the connection is achieved, for example, the connection may be direct connection or indirect connection, and the installation position of the connection assembly used for the indirect connection is not limited.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, since the inner unit part 101 is slidably movable in the inward and outward directions with respect to the connection bracket 3, when the window air conditioner 100 assumes a use configuration (e.g., as shown in fig. 7), at least a portion of the connection bracket 3 may be located outside the inner unit body 1 so that the outer unit body 2 is longitudinally spaced apart from the inner unit body 1. When the window air conditioner 100 is in the installed state, the connection bracket 3 may be stacked on the upper portion of the inner unit body 1 so that the inner unit body 1 and the outer unit body 2 are in close proximity (e.g., as shown in fig. 8), or at least a portion of the connection bracket 3 may be located outside the inner unit body 1 so that the inner unit body 1 and the outer unit body 2 are longitudinally spaced apart (e.g., as shown in fig. 3).

Therefore, the inner machine part 101 and the connecting bracket 3 can move relatively along the longitudinal direction, so that the relative longitudinal position of the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 can be adjusted, the longitudinal distance between the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 can be reduced, the packaging and the transportation are convenient, the longitudinal spacing distance between the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 can be matched with the longitudinal size requirements of different windowsills, and the installation compactness and reliability of the window type air conditioner 100 and the window 200 are improved.

Optionally, the outer machine body 2 can rotate around the inner end of the upper part of the outer machine body 2 around the connecting support 3 in a bottom lifting or lowering way, so that the outer machine body 2 and the inner machine body 1 can move relative to the connecting support 3, the form of the window air conditioner 100 can be changed more effectively, and the installation requirement can be met better.

For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, if the outer machine body 2 rotates counterclockwise about the rotation connection position (for example, the position R shown in fig. 1), the rotation of the bottom elevation is possible, and for example, the configuration shown in fig. 3 and 4 can be changed. For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, 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, for example, the configuration shown in fig. 1 and 2 can be changed.

It should be noted that "rotation" in the rotation of the outer machine body 2 with respect to the connection bracket 3 is to be understood in a broad sense, and is not limited to being rotatable about one axis, and may be rotatable about one axis (for example, the pivot axis L shown in fig. 1) by articulation, but may be connected by a link, rotatable about two axes, or the like, for example. In summary, the outer machine body 2 is rotatable about the upper inner end (e.g., the position R shown in fig. 1 and 3) of the outer machine body 2 with respect to the connection bracket 3, so that the window air conditioner 100 can be changed in shape to meet different practical requirements.

For example, when the window type air conditioner 100 is installed, the outer machine body 2 may be rotated to the bottom to be raised (e.g., the state shown in fig. 3 and 4), so that the outer machine body 2 may 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 may be rotated to the bottom to be lowered to the normal position (e.g., the state shown in fig. 5 and 6), thereby satisfying 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 some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 9, one of the connecting bracket 3 and the inner machine part 101 is a first part, and the other is a second part, and a locking device 9 is disposed between the first part and the second part, where when the locking device 9 assumes a locked state, the locking device 9 can lock the relative positions of the second part and the first part in the inner and outer directions. That is, by the arrangement of the locking device 9, the longitudinal relative positions of the connecting bracket 3 and the inner machine body 1 can be simply and effectively locked, so that the stability and the reliability of the window air conditioner 100 under the conditions of use, installation or transportation can be ensured, and the problem of instability of the relative movement of the connecting bracket 3 and the inner machine body 1 can be avoided.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9-11, the first member has a plurality of first capture holes 51 spaced apart in an inward-outward direction, and the locking device 9 includes a first locking assembly provided on the second member, the first locking assembly including: the lock pin 52 can be inserted into any one of the first lock holes 51 to lock the position, and the elastic restoring member 53 applies an elastic force to the lock pin 52 to be inserted into the first lock hole 51.

That is, when the first member and the second member are slid relatively, the locking pin 52 can be inserted into the first locking hole 51 corresponding to the position thereof by the elastic restoring member 53, so that the position locking can be simply and reliably achieved, and the relative sliding of the first member and the second member can be restricted. When the locking pin 52 is pushed to overcome the acting force of the elastic reset piece 53, so that the locking pin 52 moves out of the first locking hole 51, unlocking can be realized, and the first component and the second component can slide relatively. Therefore, the position locking and unlocking can be simply and effectively realized, the first locking assembly is simple in structure, easy to assemble, high in locking reliability and easy to unlock.

For example, in some alternative examples, the inner machine part 101 may include an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 being located at the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine part 101 being slidably engaged with the connection bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 may be nested inside the extending bracket 4, the connecting bracket 3 is provided with a first locking component, the extending bracket 4 is sleeved outside the connecting bracket 3, and the extending bracket 4 is provided with a first locking hole 51.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 11, the elastic restoring member 53 is a bent elastic piece and includes a first elastic segment 531 and a second elastic segment 532 that can be relatively close by compression, and the locking pin 52 is disposed on the first elastic segment 531, and the second elastic segment 532 is in stop fit with the stop member 54 on the second component. Thus, the elastic restoring member 53 has a simple structure, is easy to process, and can stably and reliably apply an elastic force to the lock pin 52.

For example, as shown in fig. 11, the bent elastic piece is a V-shaped elastic piece, the connecting end of the first elastic piece 531 is connected to the connecting end of the second elastic piece 532, and the free end of the first elastic piece 531 and the free end of the second elastic piece 532 can move relatively. In the initial state, the free end of the first elastic segment 531 is far away from the free end of the second elastic segment 532, and the locking pin 52 on the first elastic segment 531 can extend into the corresponding first locking hole 51. When the locking pin 52 is pushed to withdraw from the first locking hole 51, the locking pin 52 can drive the free end of the first elastic segment 531 to move towards the direction close to the free end of the second elastic segment 532, so as to compress the elastic restoring member 53 and overcome the elastic force of the elastic restoring member 53. When the force applied to the locking pin 52 is removed, the free end of the first elastic segment 531 moves away from the free end of the second elastic segment 532 under the action of the elastic force accumulated by the bending elastic piece, so that the locking pin 52 can extend into the corresponding first locking hole 51.

Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the bending spring piece may have other shapes, such as a W shape, a zigzag shape, etc. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, a spring or the like may be used as the elastic restoring member 53 instead of the bent elastic sheet, which is not described here.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 12 to 15, the first member has a plurality of second locking holes 61 arranged at intervals in the inner and outer directions, the second member has a third locking hole 62, and the locking device 9 includes a second locking assembly including: the screw 63, the screw 63 is suitable for penetrating the third locking hole 62 and being in threaded connection with the second locking hole 61 corresponding to the third locking hole 62, so as to realize position locking. Therefore, reliable locking can be simply and effectively realized, and the second locking assembly has long service life and is not easy to fatigue and damage.

For example, in some alternative examples, the inner machine part 101 may include an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 being located at the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine part 101 being slidably engaged with the connection bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 may be nested inside the extending bracket 4, the extending bracket 4 is sleeved outside the connecting bracket 3, a plurality of second locking holes 61 are respectively formed on two lateral side walls of the connecting bracket 3, and third locking holes 62 are respectively formed on two sides of the extending bracket 4. The screw 63 may be a hand screw 63, and the hand screw 63 may penetrate the third locking hole 62 and be screwed to the second locking hole 61 corresponding to the third locking hole 62, thereby achieving locking engagement.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 15, the third catching hole 62 is an oblong hole and has a length in the inner-outer direction larger than the diameter of the second catching hole 61. Thereby, a continuous variation of the relative locking position between the inner machine part 101 and the connecting bracket 3 can be better achieved, so that more distance dimension requirements can be better met.

Further, as shown in fig. 15, the third locking hole 62 may correspond to at least two second locking holes 61 at the same time, that is, the length of the third locking hole 62 in the inner and outer directions is such that the third locking hole 62 may correspond to at least two second locking holes 61 at the same time, which is advantageous in that the moving distance of the inner machine member 101 in the inner and outer directions is more appropriately adjusted before the screw 63 is locked.

In some embodiments of the application, as shown in fig. 16-18, the locking device 9 comprises a third locking assembly comprising: the locking groove member 71 is fixedly arranged on the first component and is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 711 which are sequentially arranged along the inner and outer directions, the rotating member 72 is rotatably arranged on the second component, the rotating member 72 is provided with a lock catch 721, and the lock catch 721 is suitable for being locked and matched with any locking groove 711 to realize position locking. Thus, the switching between locking and unlocking can be realized by the rotation of the rotating member 72, the operation is simple, and the locking stability is good.

Optionally, the third locking assembly further comprises: the torsion spring is provided at the rotation center of the rotation member 72 to apply an elastic force to the rotation member 72 in locking engagement with the locking groove member 71. Therefore, automatic locking can be realized under the action of the acting force of the torsion spring, and locking operation is omitted. When the unlocking is needed, the rotary piece 72 is pulled to rotate to overcome the acting force of the torsion spring, so that the lock catch 721 moves out of the locking groove 711, and unlocking operation is simplified.

Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present application, for example, the rotating member 72 may be locked in the locked position by a snap structure or a magnetic structure, and the rotating member 72 may be rotated to unlock when the snap structure or the magnetic structure is unlocked. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 18, the rotating member 72 may have a grip portion 722 thereon so that the rotation of the rotating member 72 can be manipulated very easily by gripping the grip portion.

For example, in some alternative examples, the inner machine part 101 may include an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 being located at the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine part 101 being slidably engaged with the connection bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 may be nested inside the extending bracket 4, and the extending bracket 4 is sleeved outside the connecting bracket 3. The connecting bracket 3 is provided with the locking groove part 71, the bottom of the locking groove part 71 is provided with the locking groove 711, the bottom of the extending bracket 4 can be provided with a third locking component, the bottom of the extending bracket 4 is provided with an avoidance hole, and the lock catch 721 of the rotating part 72 can extend into the extending bracket 4 through the avoidance hole to be matched with the locking groove 711, so that the locking bracket is convenient to install and operate and control, and the locking reliability is good.

It should be noted that, the locking device 9 may include only one of the first locking component, the second locking component and the third locking component, or may include any two or even three of the first locking component, the second locking component and the third locking component at the same time, that is, may play a more reliable locking effect by setting a plurality of locking components.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 19 and 20, a guiding assembly 8 is disposed between the inner machine part 101 and the connecting bracket 3, and the guiding assembly 8 is used for guiding the track of the inner machine body 1 and the connecting bracket 3 sliding along the inner and outer directions. Therefore, the inner machine part 101 can slide along the inner and outer directions smoothly relative to the connecting bracket 3, and the problems of shaking, noise, collision damage and the like are avoided.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 20, the guiding assembly 8 includes a first guide rail 81 and a second guide rail 82 that are nested and matched, where the first guide rail 81 is fixedly arranged on the inner machine part 101, and the second guide rail 82 is fixedly arranged on the connecting bracket 3. That is, the first guide rail 81 is embedded in the second guide rail 82, the second guide rail 82 is sleeved outside the first guide rail 81, and the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 extend along the inner and outer directions and are in shape substitution matching; or, the second guide rail 82 is embedded in the first guide rail 81, the first guide rail 81 is sleeved outside the second guide rail 82, the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 extend along the inner and outer directions, and the shapes of the first guide rail 81 and the second guide rail 82 are substantially matched, for example, the first guide rail and the second guide rail are both square sections or round sections, and the like. Thereby, a reliable guidance of the slip direction can be achieved by the relative cooperation of the first rail 81 and the second rail 82.

Further, as shown in fig. 20, the first rail 81 and the second rail 82 are in antifriction contact with each other by the supporting portion 83, for example, the supporting portion 83 may be a protrusion or a ball or the like provided on at least one of the first rail 81 and the second rail 82, and the first rail 81 and the second rail 82 are in contact with each other by the supporting portion 83, so that the contact friction area between the first rail 81 and the second rail 82 is reduced, and the smoothness and low resistance of the relative sliding of the inner machine member 101 and the connection bracket 3 are improved.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 19, the guide members 8 are provided in plural and laterally spaced apart, whereby the reliability and stability of the guiding and supporting of the relative sliding of the inner machine member 101 and the connecting bracket 3 can be improved. It should be noted that, the setting position of the guide assembly 8 is not limited, for example, in some embodiments, the guide assembly 8 may be disposed at the bottom of the connection bracket 3, so as to have a hiding effect, and the width of the connection bracket 3 in the transverse direction may be increased, so as to improve the reliability of connecting the inner machine component 101 and the outer machine body 2 by the connection bracket 3. Or in other embodiments, the guide assemblies 8 may be provided at both lateral sides of the connection bracket 3, thereby facilitating design and installation and simplifying the structure.

For example, in some alternative examples, as shown in fig. 19 and 20, the inner machine part 101 may include an extension bracket 4, at least part of the extension bracket 4 being located at the upper outer side of the inner machine body 1, and the inner machine part 101 being slidably engaged with the connection bracket 3 through the extension bracket 4. For example, the connecting bracket 3 may be nested inside the extending bracket 4, and the extending bracket 4 is sleeved outside the connecting bracket 3. The bottom of the connecting bracket 3 is provided with a protruding part 31 protruding upwards, the protruding part 31 defines a containing cavity with an open bottom, the second guide rail 82 is arranged in the containing cavity, the top of the second guide rail 82 is fixedly connected with the top wall of the protruding part 31, the first guide rail 81 is nested in the second guide rail 82, the bottom of the second guide rail 82 is provided with an opening 821, the bottom wall of the extending bracket 4 is provided with a step part 41 protruding upwards, and the step part 41 extends into the opening 821 to be fixedly connected with the bottom wall of the first guide rail 81. Therefore, the device can realize simple and reliable assembly, has compact structure and is beneficial to sealing. Further, the top and lateral sides of the first rail 81 have supporting portions 83 protruding toward the direction of the second rail 82, respectively, and the first rail 81 is brought into contact with the second rail 82 through the supporting portions 83, thereby achieving an effect of reducing friction.

Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the guide assembly 8 may be omitted, for example, the locking groove member 71 in the third locking assembly may be provided with a guide function integrally, so as to implement guide fit between the inner machine part 101 and the connection bracket 3, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments of the present application, the outer machine body 2 may have a first state (e.g., as shown in fig. 1 and 2) in which the back plate (e.g., the second back plate) of the outer machine body 2 is vertically placed and a second state (e.g., as shown in fig. 3 and 4) in which the back plate (e.g., the second back plate) of the outer machine body 2 is horizontally placed, and the outer machine body 2 is adapted to be rotated from the first state to the second state by an upward rotation of the bottom elevation. 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 "the outer machine body 2 is adapted to rotate from the first state to the second state by the upward rotation of the bottom portion" is intended to describe that the outer machine body 2 has the capability of switching the two states by rotation, but it is not limited to the capability of switching the two states by driving the rotation of the outer machine body 2, and for example, when the state of the outer machine body 2 needs to be switched, the switching may be performed by driving the rotation of the outer machine body 2 or driving 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.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the outer machine body 2 assumes the second state, the back plate of the outer machine body (i.e., the first back plate) is flush with the bottom plate of the connection bracket 3. Specifically, by designing the outer machine body 2 to rotate about the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2 with respect to the connection bracket 3 so as to be capable of being raised or lowered at the bottom, the rotation center of the outer machine body 2 is located at 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 until the bottom surface is flush with the bottom surface of the connection bracket 3 (for example, 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.

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 panel (i.e., the first panel 24) is outward, the back plate (i.e., the first back plate 21) is inward, and the upper inner end of the outer machine body 2 is pivotally connected to the upper outer end of the inner machine member 101.

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 unique pivot axis L, the window air conditioner 100 assumes an installed configuration 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 back plate (i.e., the first back 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.

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.
