wherein the fixed sealing plate group is disposed on a side wall of the air conditioner body, and the sliding sealing plate group is disposed at a side of the fixed sealing plate group away from the air conditioner body slidably in a direction approaching to or moving away from the air conditioner body,
wherein the fixed sealing plate group comprises one or more sub fixed sealing plates, and the sliding sealing plate group comprises one or more sub sliding sealing plates; and
a guiding assembly, wherein the sliding sealing plate group is slidable with respect to the fixed sealing plate group through the guiding assembly, so that the sliding sealing plate group and the fixed sealing plate group can overlap in a front and rear direction,
wherein the guiding assembly comprises a fixed guiding portion disposed on the air conditioner body and a sliding guiding portion slidably fitted with the fixed guiding portion, one part of the sliding sealing plate group is fixed in the sliding guiding portion, and the other part of the sliding sealing plate group is connected with the fixed sealing plate group in the sealing manner and slidably fitted with the fixed sealing plate group,
wherein the fixed guiding portion comprises a first fixed member connected with the air conditioner body and the fixed sealing plate group by a snap fit connection respectively, and a second fixed member disposed on a top wall and/or a bottom wall of the air conditioner body, the sliding guiding portion being slidably disposed on the second fixed member,
wherein the sliding guiding portion comprises:
a first support plate slidably fitted with the fixed guiding portion, wherein the first support plate has a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove disposed side by side along the front and rear direction, and the fixed sealing plate group is slidably fitted within the first sliding groove and the sliding sealing plate group is fixed within the second sliding groove,
a second support plate paralleled to the first support plate and spaced apart from the first support plate in an up and down direction, wherein the second support plate is slidably fitted with the fixed guiding portion, and
a connecting plate connected between the first support plate and the second support plate, wherein the sliding sealing plate group is connected with the connecting plate by a snap fit connection.

2. The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixed member has a first snap at one side thereof and a second snap at the other side thereof, the first snap is connected with the air conditioner body by a snap fit connection, and the second snap is connected with the fixed sealing plate group by a snap fit connection,
the air conditioner body has a first snap groove in the side wall thereof, and the first snap groove is matched with the first snap,
the fixed sealing plate group has second snap groove in an end portion thereof opposite to the first fixed member, and the second snap groove is matched with the second snap.

3. The window air conditioner according to claim 2 , wherein the first snap comprises two first extending portions spaced apart from each other and extending out from a side of the first fixed member facing the air conditioner body, and each first extending portion has a first snapping member at a free end thereof and two first snapping members extend away from each other,
the air conditioner body has two side wings on the side wall thereof, the two side wings are spaced apart from each other and configured to form the first snap groove, and each side wing is configured to have an L shape.

4. The window air conditioner according to claim 2 , wherein two second snap grooves are provided and formed in two opposite side walls of the fixed sealing plate group respectively,
the second snap comprises two second extending portions spaced apart from each other and extending out from the first fixed member, each of the two second extending portions has a second snapping member at a free end thereof, and the second snapping members are protruded towards each other and matched with the second snap grooves.

5. The window air conditioner according to claim 4 , wherein the fixed sealing plate group has an inclined surface between an end surface of the fixed sealing plate group facing the first fixed member and the second snap groove.

6. The window air conditioner according to claim 2 , wherein the second snap groove is formed in an end surface of the fixed sealing plate group opposite to the first fixed member,
the second snap is configured to be a first protrusion protruded towards the fixed sealing plate group and matched with the second snap groove.

7. The window air conditioner according to claim 6 , wherein the first protrusion has opposite side walls fitted with the second snap groove, and in a direction from a fixed end of the first protrusion to a free end of the first protrusion, the opposite side walls are inclined towards each other.

8. The window air conditioner according to claim 7 , wherein a first snapping projection is formed on the side wall of the first protrusion fitted with the second snap groove, and a first concave portion fitted with the first snapping projection is provided in a position in the second snap groove opposed to the first snapping projection.
