Abstract

A window air conditioner is provided. The window air conditioner includes an air conditioner body configured to be mounted to a mounting window; and a heat-insulation sealing assembly having at least two layers and provided between the air conditioner body and the mounting window to insulate an inside of the mounting window from an outside of the mounting window.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A window air conditioner, comprising:
an air conditioner body configured to be mounted to a mounting window; and a heat-insulation sealing assembly having at least two layers and provided between the air conditioner body and the mounting window to insulate an inside of the mounting window from an outside of the mounting window in a sealing manner.

2 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two layers of the heat-insulation sealing assembly are substantially parallel to each other.

3 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two layers of the heat-insulation sealing assembly comprise a heat insulation plate.

4 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two layers of the heat-insulation sealing assembly comprise a sealing louver.

5 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two layers of the heat-insulation sealing assembly comprise a sealing plate subassembly, and the sealing plate subassembly comprises a fixed sealing plate group and a sliding sealing plate group connected with the fixed sealing plate group in a sealing manner, 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.

6 . The window air conditioner according to claim 5 , wherein a sealing element is provided between the sliding sealing plate group and the fixed sealing plate group.

7 . The window air conditioner according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing element comprises a sealing protruded strip extending along a length direction of the sliding sealing plate group and provided on at least one of the sliding sealing plate group and the fixed sealing plate group, and a free end of the sealing protruded strip touches the corresponding fixed sealing plate group or sliding sealing plate group.

8 . The window air conditioner according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing element comprises a sealing strip clamped between the sliding sealing plate group and the fixed sealing plate group, the sealing strip comprises a U-shaped sealing groove, and the U-shaped sealing groove covers an end portion of the fixed sealing plate group toward the sliding sealing plate group or an end portion of the sliding sealing plate group toward the fixed sealing plate group.

9 . The window air conditioner according to claim 8 , wherein the sealing strip further comprises a sealing edge strip extending along a length direction of the U-shaped sealing groove, and one end of the sealing edge strip is connected with the U-shaped sealing groove and the other end thereof touches the corresponding fixed sealing plate group or sliding sealing plate group.

10 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of at least one of the at least two layers of the heat-insulation sealing assembly is adjustable.

11 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least two layers of the heat-insulation sealing assembly is connected with the mounting window in the sealing manner via a sliding guiding portion slidable in a left and right direction with respect to the air conditioner body.

12 . The window air conditioner according to claim 11 , further comprising a fixed guiding portion disposed to the air conditioner body, wherein the sliding guiding portion is slidably fitted with the fixed guiding portion.

13 . The window air conditioner according to claim 12 , wherein the fixed guiding portion comprises a first fixed member connected with the air conditioner body and the heat-insulation sealing assembly in a snap-fit manner respectively.

14 . The window air conditioner according to claim 13 , wherein a first snap connected with the air conditioner body in the snap-fit manner is provided at a side of the first fixed member, and a snap groove matched with the first snap is provided in the side wall of the air conditioner body.

15 . The window air conditioner according to claim 14 , wherein the first snap comprises an extending portion extending outwards from a side of the first fixed member facing the air conditioner body, the extending portion has two snapping members at a free end thereof and the two snapping members extend away from each other;
two side wings are provided on the side wall of the air conditioner body and spaced apart from each other, and configured to form the snap groove, and each side wing is configured to have a substantial L shape.

16 . The window air conditioner according to claim 12 , wherein the fixed guiding portion comprises a second fixed member disposed on a top wall and/or a bottom wall of the air conditioner body, and the sliding guiding portion is slidably disposed to the second fixed member.

17 . The window air conditioner according to claim 16 , wherein one of the second fixed member and the sliding guiding portion has a guiding groove extending along a sliding direction of the sliding guiding portion, and the other thereof has a guiding slide track matched with the guiding groove.

18 . The window air conditioner according to claim 12 , wherein the sliding guiding portion comprises a first support plate slidably fitted with the fixed guiding portion, and the first support plate has a guiding sliding groove and at least a part of the heat-insulation sealing assembly is fitted in the guiding sliding groove.

19 . The window air conditioner according to claim 18 , wherein the sliding guiding portion further comprises:
a second support plate paralleled to the first support plate and spaced apart from the first support plate in a length direction of the heat-insulation sealing assembly; and a connecting plate connected between the first support plate and the second support plate, wherein the heat-insulation sealing assembly is connected with the connecting plate in a snap-fit manner.

20 . The window air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-insulation sealing assembly comprises a layer of a sealing louver and a layer of a heat insulation plate, the sealing louver is flexibly provided between the mounting window and the air conditioner body and adjacent to the outside of the mounting window, while the heat insulation plate is provided adjacent to the inside of the mounting window.
