For example, the left side of the window air conditioner is the right side of the user, and the right side of the window air conditioner is the left side of the user.


As a small air conditioner that can be mounted on a window, the window air conditioner is an integral device. A part of the window air conditioner is located indoors and another part of the window air conditioner is located outdoors. A condenser and an evaporator of the window air conditioner are arranged in a horizontal direction, so as to realize a temperature regulation of an indoor environment. The window air conditioner is a small air conditioner mounted on the window, and an internal structure of the window air conditioner is compact. Generally, an electrical assembly and a reactor of the window air conditioner are provided on the same side of the window air conditioner. However, a combination of the electrical assembly and the reactor occupies a large space, so that the arrangement of related components in a middle position of the window air conditioner is easily affected, the space utilization ratio is low, and the miniaturization of the window air conditioner is affected. In addition, when the electrical assembly and the reactor are arranged together, the heat generated by the electrical assembly and the reactor is easily transferred to each other, thereby affecting their respective dissipating efficiencies.


In order to solve the above problems, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a window air conditioner 100, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the electrical assembly and the reactor while improving the compactness of the internal structure arrangement of the window air conditioner 100.



FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the window air conditioner of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the window air conditioner 100 includes a housing 10. The housing 10 can cover components in the window air conditioner 100 to prevent the components from being eroded by external foreign matters and avoid damage to the components due to external force impact. In this way, the structural reliability of the components in the housing 10 can be improved, the structural reliability of the window air conditioner 100 can be improved, and the operation of the window air conditioner 100 can be prevented from being affected.


As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 10 is provided with an indoor air inlet 101, an indoor air outlet 102, an outdoor air inlet 103, and an outdoor air outlet 104. The indoor air can enter the window air conditioner 100 through the indoor air inlet 101, and flow into the indoor environment through the indoor air outlet 102 after heat exchange. The outdoor air can enter the window air conditioner 100 through the outdoor air inlet 103, and flow into the outdoor environment through the outdoor air outlet 104 after heat exchange. It should be noted that, in FIG. 2, the outdoor air outlet 104 of the housing 10 is located opposite to the indoor air inlet 101 and the indoor air outlet 102. In some embodiments, the indoor air inlet 101, the indoor air outlet 102, the outdoor air inlet 103, and the outdoor air outlet 104 may be located at other locations. For example, the locations of the outdoor air inlet 103 and the outdoor air outlet 104 in FIG. 2 may be exchanged.



FIG. 3 is a partial schematic view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments.


As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the window air conditioner 100 further includes an indoor air duct assembly 20, an indoor heat exchanger 30, and an outdoor heat exchanger 40. The indoor air duct assembly 20, the indoor heat exchanger 30, and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 are provided in the housing 10. One of the outdoor heat exchanger 40 and the indoor heat exchanger 30 may be an evaporator, and the other may be a condenser. For example, in the cooling mode of the window air conditioner 100, the indoor heat exchanger 30 operates as an evaporator, and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 operates as a condenser. In the heating mode of the window air conditioner 100, the indoor heat exchanger 30 operates as a condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 operates as an evaporator. It should be noted that, in the window air conditioner 100, the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 are arranged along a horizontal direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 are arranged along a first direction (e.g., a front-rear direction). The first direction may refer to a length direction of the window air conditioner 100.


The indoor air duct assembly 20 includes an indoor air passage 21 that is in communication with the indoor air inlet 101 and the indoor air outlet 102. The indoor air can enter the window air conditioner 100 through the indoor air inlet 101, and flow to the indoor air outlet 102 along the indoor air passage 21, so that the indoor air can flow along a set route after entering the window air conditioner 100. In this way, the indoor air can flow to the indoor heat exchanger 30 and exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger 30, and then the indoor air after the heat exchange flows into the indoor environment. In this way, the adjustment of the indoor ambient temperature is realized, and the operation reliability of the window air conditioner 100 is improved.


As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a fan assembly 60. The fan assembly 60 is provided in the housing 10. The fan assembly 60 includes a motor 61, a first fan 62, and a second fan 63. The first fan 62 is provided in the indoor air passage 21. The first fan 62 and the second fan 63 are respectively provided at both ends of the motor 61 in the first direction, and are respectively connected to a rotating shaft at both ends of the motor 61. The motor 61 is configured to drive the first fan 62 and the second fan 63 to rotate. In this way, one motor 61 can drive the first fan 62 and the second fan 63 to rotate, thereby reducing the number of structural members in the window air conditioner 100, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the window air conditioner 100 and reducing the size of the window air conditioner 100.


When the window air conditioner 100 operates, the first fan 62 and the second fan 63 are driven to rotate by the motor 61. The first fan 62 introduces indoor air into the housing 10 through the indoor air inlet 101. After exchanging heat with the refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 30, the introduced indoor air flows into the indoor environment through the indoor air outlet 102 under the driving of the first fan 62, so that the indoor ambient temperature is adjusted to meet the user's use requirement. The second fan 63 introduces outdoor air in the outdoor environment into the housing 10 through the outdoor air inlet 103. After exchanging heat with the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 40, the introduced outdoor air flows into the outdoor environment through the outdoor air outlet 104 under the driving of the second fan 63, thereby achieving heat exchange between the outdoor heat exchanger 40 and the outdoor air. In this way, by providing the fan assembly 60, the flow rate of the air flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 can be accelerated, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 can be improved, and the operation efficiency of the window air conditioner 100 can be improved.


As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a compressor 50. The compressor 50 is provided in the housing 10 and is configured to compress the refrigerant such that a low-pressure refrigerant is compressed to form a high-pressure refrigerant. The compressor 50 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40. The compressor 50, the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 form a refrigerant cycle circuit. The compressor 50 may be adjacent to one side (e.g., a right side) of the housing 10 in a second direction (e.g., a left-right direction), and located between the outdoor heat exchanger 40 and the indoor air duct assembly 20. In this way, the space structure inside the housing 10 can be compact to facilitate the connection between the compressor 50 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 and the indoor heat exchanger 30. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the second direction may refer to a width direction of the window air conditioner 100.


The window air conditioner 100 compresses a gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant through the compressor 50 and discharges the gaseous refrigerant. The discharged gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser, which condenses the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat in the refrigerant is released to the surrounding environment through a condensation process, thereby achieving a cooling or heating effect. The window air conditioner 100 further includes an expansion valve. The expansion valve can expand the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant, and the liquid-phase refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve flows into the evaporator. The evaporator evaporates the expanded refrigerant, and during the evaporation process, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the surrounding environment, so that the refrigerant can be changed into the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor 50 to complete a refrigerant cycle. In this way, the window air conditioner 100 can adjust the indoor ambient temperature through the refrigerant cycle.


As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 32, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a liquid storage tank 140 connected to the compressor 50 and configured to store refrigerant and supply the refrigerant to the compressor 50.


In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 140 is located between the compressor 50 and the motor 61 in the second direction and between the first fan 62 and the second fan 63 in the first direction. In this way, the arrangement of the liquid storage tank 140 utilizes a space in the air duct assembly 60, so that structures in the housing 10 can be arranged in a more compact manner, and a volume of the window air conditioner 100 can be reduced.


In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 140 faces an end of the first fan 62 adjacent to the electrical assembly 70 and an end of the second fan 63 adjacent to the electrical assembly 70. In this way, the rotation of the motor 61 can be prevented from causing damage to the liquid storage tank 140 while utilizing the space of the air duct assembly 60.


In some embodiments, a plurality of fixing feet 51 extend outwardly from the bottom of the compressor 50, and the plurality of fixing feet 51 are fixed to the housing 10, thereby fixing the compressor 50 to the housing 10.


In some embodiments, the fixing feet 51 are provided with a plurality of fixing holes 52, respectively. The housing 10 is provided with through holes respectively corresponding to the plurality of fixing holes 52. A plurality of fixing member 53 extend through the plurality of through holes on the housing 10 and are fixed to the plurality of fixing hole 52, respectively. The fixing hole 52 may be a threaded hole, and the fixing member 53 may be a screw.



FIG. 5 is another partial perspective view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a first bracket 90. The first bracket 90 is provided in the housing 10 and includes a bracket body 91 and an air guide portion 92. The bracket body 91 is connected to the air guide portion 92, and the motor 61 is provided on the bracket body 91. The bracket body 91 is configured to support the motor 61, so that the motor 61 can be stably provided and the strength requirement of the window air conditioner 100 for the structural parts can be met. Further, the bracket body 91 can protect the motor 61 and prevent the motor 61 from shaking in the window air conditioner 100, so that the motor 61 can operate normally, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the first fan 62 and the second fan 63.


The second fan 63 is provided in the air guide portion 92, and the air guide portion 92 is configured to collect and guide the air flow. In this way, driven by the second fan 63, the outdoor air that has been heat-exchanged through the outdoor heat exchanger 40 can be quickly collected by the air guide portion 92 and guided to the outdoors through the air guide portion 92, thereby accelerating the flow of the heat exchange air flow in the window air conditioner 100, and improving the working efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 40. Further, by connecting the air guide portion 92 to the bracket body 91, the stability and reliability of the structure of the air guide portion 92 in the window air conditioner 100 can be improved.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the window air conditioner 100 further includes an electrical assembly 70. The electrical assembly 70 is located in the housing 10 and is provided at the bottom of the housing 10 to be fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 10. Here, the bottom of the housing 10 may be referred to as a base. The electrical assembly 70 and the compressor 50 are adjacent to the same side (e.g., the right side) of the housing 10 in the second direction, and the electrical assembly 70 is spaced apart from the compressor 50, so as to improve the compactness of the structural arrangement of the window air conditioner 100 and facilitate the miniaturization of the window air conditioner 100.


The electrical assembly 70 may also be located on one side (e.g., the right side) of the indoor heat exchanger 30 or the indoor air duct assembly 20 in the second direction and be spaced apart from the indoor heat exchanger 30. The electrical assembly 70 and the air guide portion 92 are spaced apart from each other in the first direction. In this way, the installation of the indoor heat exchanger 30, the electrical assembly 70, and the air guide portion 92 in the window air conditioner 100 can be facilitated, the compactness of the structure in the window air conditioner 100 can be improved, the size of the window air conditioner 100 can be reduced, and the production and transportation of the window air conditioner 100 can be facilitated. In addition, by spacing the electrical assembly 70 from the indoor heat exchanger 30, the mutual interference between the electrical assembly 70 and the indoor heat exchanger 30 during operation can be avoided, thereby improving the operation reliability of the window air conditioner 100.


The electrical assembly 70 may be configured to distribute power to components in the window air conditioner 100, to control operation of components in the window air conditioner 100, and to protect a circuit in the window air conditioner 100. The mounting of the lines in the window air conditioner 100 and the assembly of the window air conditioner 100 can be simplified by providing the electrical assembly 70, which is conducive to simplifying the internal structure of the window air conditioner 100, reducing the cost of the lines, and preventing the lines from being messy.


In some embodiments, the electrical assembly 70 is electrically connected to the fan assembly 60 and outputs an electrical signal to the fan assembly 60 to control the rotation of the first fan 62 and the second fan 63 in the fan assembly 60, so that the indoor air can enter the window air conditioner 100 to exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger 30, and the outdoor air can enter the window air conditioner 100 to exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 40.


For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a first wire 111, and the first conducting wire 111 is connected between the electrical assembly 70 and the motor 61, so as to realize the electrical connection between the electrical assembly 70 and the motor 61. The first wire 111 may be referred to as a motor conducting wire. The electrical assembly 70 can output an electrical signal to the motor 61 to control the motor 61 to drive the first fan 62 and the second fan 63 to rotate, so that the indoor air enters the window air conditioner 100 to exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger 30, and the outdoor air enters the window air conditioner 100 to exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 40.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 33, the bracket body 91 includes a first wire restriction portion 911, and a part of the first wire 111 extends through the first wire restriction portion 911. In this way, the first wire restriction portion 911 limits the position of the first wire 111 to prevent the first wire 111 from being disorderly placed in the housing 10.


In some embodiments, the first wire restriction portion 911 is provided a through hole. An end of the first wire 111 is connected to the motor 61, and another end extends through the through hole on the first wire restriction portion 911 and is connected to the electrical assembly 70. The position of the first wire 111 is limited by the through hole on the first wire restriction portion 911, so that the first wire 111 is prevented from being disorderly placed in the housing 10.


In some embodiments, the first wire restriction portion 911 is provided with a clamping slot. A part of the first wire 111 is clamped in the clamping slot on the first wire restriction portion 911. During routing, after both ends of the first wire 111 are respectively connected to the motor 61 and the electrical assembly 70, a part of the first wire 111 is pressed into the clamping slot on the first wire restriction portion 911. In this way, the clamping slot on the first wire restriction portion 911 can not only limit the position of the first wire 111 to prevent the first wire 111 from being disorderly placed in the housing 10, but also facilitate positioning the first wire 111 in the first wire restriction portion 911.


In some embodiments, the clamping slot on the first wire restriction portion 911 includes a slot opening and a slot body. The size of the slot opening is less than the diameter of the first wire 111, and the size of the slot body is greater than the diameter of the first wire 111. In this way, the slot opening can prevent the first wire 111 from being separated from the first wire restriction portion 911, and the slot body can limit the position of the first wire 111 while preventing the first wire 111 from being worn by a slot wall of the slot body.


It should be understood that the shape of the first wire restriction portion 911 is not limited to the above, as long as it can allow the first wire 111 to extend through and limit the position of the first wire 111.


In some embodiments, a plurality of the first wire restriction portions 911 are provided. The shapes of the plurality of first wire restriction portions 911 may be the same, for example, each first wire restriction portion 911 is provided with a through hole that allows the first wire 111 extends through. Alternatively, the shapes of the plurality of first wire restriction portions 911 may be different, for example, a part of the plurality of first wire restriction portions 911 are provided with through holes that allow the first wire 111 extends through, and another part of the plurality of first wire restriction portion 911 are provided with clamping slots that allow the first wire 111 extends through. The plurality of first wire restriction portions 911 cooperatively limit the position of the first wire 111, so that the first wire 111 is placed in the housing 10 more neatly.


In some embodiments, the first bracket 90 further includes a restricting member 93 connected between the bracket body 91 and the air guide portion 92. The restricting member 93 includes a second wire restriction portion 931, and another part of the first wire 111 extends through the second wire restriction portion 931. In this way, the second wire restriction portion 931 and the first wire restriction portion 911 cooperatively limit the position of the first wire 111, so that the first wire 111 is placed in the housing 10 more neatly. In addition, since both the second wire restriction portion 931 and the first wire restriction portion 911 are provided on the first bracket 90, the first wire 111 does not occupy the space in front of the first bracket 90, which facilitates the arrangement of the components of the window air conditioner 100, such as the reactor 120 and the liquid storage tank 140.


In some embodiments, the second wire restriction portion 931 is provided with a through hole. The position of the first wire 111 is limited by extending a part of the first wire 111 through the first wire restriction portion 911 and extending another part of the first wire 111 through the through hole on the second wire restriction portion 931.


In some embodiments, the second wire restriction portion 931 is provided with a clamping slot. The position of the first wire 111 is limited by extending a part of the first wire 111 through the first wire restriction portion 911 and extending another part of the first wire 111 through the clamping slot on the second wire restriction portion 931.


It can be understood that the shape of the second wire restriction portion 931 is not limited to the above, as long as it can allow the first wire 111 to extend through and limit the position of the first wire 111.


In some embodiments, a plurality of the second wire restriction portions 931 is provided. The shapes of the plurality of second wire restriction portions 931 may be the same or different, and the specific shapes are not described repeatedly herein.

Taking a plane extending through the center axis of the bracket body 81 as a dividing plane, the plurality of reactor wire restriction portions 912 are located on a side of the dividing plane, and the plurality of first wire restriction portions 911 are located on another side of the dividing plane. In this way, during routing, the first wire 111 and the reactor wire 121 will not become entangled, and the first wire 111 and the reactor wire 121 are placed in the housing 10 more neatly.


In some embodiments, the reactor wire 121 also extends through the first wire restriction portion 911, that is, the positions of both the first wire 111 and the reactor wire 121 are limited by the first wire restriction portion 911. In this way, there is no need to additionally provide a component, through which the reactor wire 121 extends, on the bracket body 91. The structure of the first bracket 90 is thus simplified.


In some embodiments, the reactor wire 121 also extends through the second wire restriction portion 931, that is, the positions of both the second wire 111 and the reactor wire 121 are limited by the first wire restriction portion 931. In this way, there is no need to additionally provide a component, through which the reactor wire 121 extends, on the restricting member 93. The structure of the first bracket 90 is thus simplified.


It should be noted, a component, through which the reactor wire 121 extends, can be separately provided on the restricting member 93, and the structure thereof may be similar to that of the second wire restriction portion 931, and will not be described repeatedly herein.

By providing the plurality of grounding portions 812 spaced apart, the connection between the grounding wire 84 and the grounding portion 812 can be facilitated, thereby preventing the electrical assembly 70 from being damaged due to electric leakage, and improving the working reliability of the window air conditioner 100.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 16, the connection plate 80 further includes a grounding mark 813, which is provided on the plate body 800 and spaced apart from a side of the grounding portion 812 adjacent to the third hole 811 or the fourth hole 831. The connection plate 80 may include a plurality of grounding marks 813, and the plurality of grounding marks 813 respectively correspond to the plurality of grounding portions 812. By providing the grounding mark 813 adjacent to the grounding portion 812, it is convenient for the maintenance personnel to determine the position of the grounding portion 812, so as to prevent the maintenance personnel from wrongly connecting the grounding wire 84 and the grounding portion 812.



FIG. 17 is a schematic view of a connection plate of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments from another perspective. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the plate body 800 includes a first plate portion 81, a second plate portion 82 and a third plate portion 83. The first plate portion 81, the second plate portion 82, and the third plate portion 83 are sequentially connected, and the second plate portion 82 is provided between the first plate portion 81 and the third plate portion 83.


The first plate portion 81 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 30. For example, the third hole 811, the grounding portion 812, and the grounding mark 813 are respectively provided on the first plate portion 81, and the first plate portion 81 is fixedly connected to the indoor heat exchanger 30 through the third hole 811. The third plate portion 83 is located on a side (e.g., a rear side) of the first plate portion 81 in the first direction, and is spaced apart from the first plate portion 81 in the first direction. The third plate portion 83 is closer to the electrical assembly 70 than the first plate portion 81 and is connected to the electrical assembly 70. For example, the fourth hole 831 and the fourth positioning portion 832 are respectively provided on the third plate portion 83, and the third plate portion 83 is fixedly connected to the electrical assembly 70 through the fourth hole 831, the fourth positioning portion 832, and the connection base 77.


By providing the first plate portion 81, the second plate portion 82, and the third plate portion 83, the connection plate 80 can be connected to the electrical assembly 70 and the indoor heat exchanger 30 respectively without affecting the structural strength of the connection plate 80, thereby improving the connection reliability of the connection plate 80 between the electrical assembly 70 and the indoor heat exchanger 30. The structural stability of the electrical assembly 70 is not limited thereto, and the structural stability of the electrical assembly 70 may be improved by other structures.



FIG. 18 is still another partial perspective view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. FIG. 19 is a partial enlarged view of the circled portion C of FIG. 18. FIG. 20 is a partial enlarged view of the circled portion D of FIG. 18.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 18, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a second bracket 110. The second bracket 110 is provided in the housing 10, located on a side (e.g., a right side) of the motor 61 in the second direction, and is connected between the electrical assembly 70 and the air guide portion 92, thereby achieving the structural integration of the window air conditioner 100. The second bracket 110 can provide a stable and reliable supporting force for the electrical assembly 70 in the first direction, so as to improve the structural stability of the electrical assembly 70 in the window air conditioner 100, and prevent the electrical assembly 70 from shaking in the first direction during transportation of the window air conditioner 100.


If the window air conditioner 100 is accidentally dropped or impacted by an external force during transportation and mounting, the electrical assembly 70 may shake, which affects the structural stability of the electrical assembly 70 in the window air conditioner 100. If the electrical assembly 70 is damaged due to collision with the surrounding components when shaking, it would be difficult to detect the damage of the electrical assembly 70 in time, which would result in the malfunction of the window air conditioner 100. However, in some embodiments, by connecting the second bracket 110 between the air guide portion 92 and the electrical assembly 70, the electrical assembly 70 can be prevented from shaking during transportation, so as to avoid affecting the structure and function of the electrical assembly 70, and improve the operation reliability of the window air conditioner 100 after installation.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the second bracket 110 includes a supporting body 1100 and has a seventh hole 1101 formed thereon. The seventh hole 1101 is formed at an end (e.g., a rear end) of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the air guide portion 92. The air guide portion 92 has a ninth hole 921 formed thereon. The seventh hole 1101 corresponds to the ninth hole 921, and a fourth fastener 922 (e.g., a screw) is fixed in the seventh hole 1101 and the ninth hole 921. The seventh hole 1101 and the ninth hole 921 may be through holes.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 20, the second bracket 110 further includes an eighth hole 1102. The eighth hole 1102 is formed at an end (e.g., a front end) of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the electrical assembly 70. The electrical assembly 70 further has a tenth hole 78 formed thereon. The eighth hole 1102 corresponds to the tenth hole 78, and a fifth fastener 79 (e.g., a screw) is fixed in the eighth hole 1102 and the tenth hole 78. The eighth hole 1102 and the tenth hole 78 may be through holes.


The seventh hole 1101, the ninth hole 921, the eighth hole 1102, and the tenth hole 78 are simple in structure and easy to produce and process. The connection means between the seventh hole 1101, the ninth hole 921, and the fourth fastener 922, and the connection means between the eighth hole 1102, the tenth hole 78, and the fifth fastener 79 are simple, fast, and highly reliable, so that the assembly efficiency of the second bracket 110 and the electrical assembly 70 is improved, and the connection reliability between the second bracket 110, and the air guide portion 92 as well as the electrical assembly 70 is improved, thereby improving the support reliability of the second bracket 110 to the electrical assembly 70.



FIG. 21 is a perspective view of a second bracket in a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 21, the second bracket 110 further includes a wire passing portion 1103. The wire passing portion 1103 is provided on a side (e.g., an upper side) of the supporting body 1100 away from the electrical assembly 70, and is recessed toward the direction approaching the electrical assembly 70. Wires between the plurality of components of the window air conditioner 100 may be arranged in the wire passing portion 1103 to facilitate routing. For example, the first wire 111 may extend through the wire passing portion 1103.


By providing the wire passing portion 1103, the routing of the first wire 111 between the electrical assembly 70 and the motor 61 can be facilitated, the first wire 111 is prevented from sliding on the surface of the second bracket 110, and the first wire 111 is prevented from being damaged on the second bracket 110 due to friction, thereby improving the structural reliability of the first wire 111.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 21, the second bracket 110 further includes a wire limiting portion 1104 and has a wire limiting region 1105. The wire limiting portion 1104 is provided on a side (e.g., a right side) of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61. The wire limiting portion 1104 and a surface (e.g., a right surface) of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61 cooperatively form a wire limiting region 1105, and the wire limiting region 1105 is in communication with the wire passing portion 1103. The first wire 111 may extend through the wire limiting region 1105 and extend into the wire passing portion 1103, and then extend out from the wire passing portion 1103 to be connected to the motor 61.


The first wire 111 can be arranged neatly in the wire limiting region 1105, which improves the neatness of the first wire 111 in the window air conditioner 100, facilitates the assembly of the window air conditioner 100, and improves the integrity of the circuit in the window air conditioner 100.


In some embodiments, the wire limiting portion 1104 is integrated with the supporting body 1100 to improve the structural stability and reliability of the wire limiting region 1105.



FIG. 22 is a top view of a second bracket in a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, the wire limiting portion 1104 includes a first sub-wire limiting portion 1106 and a second sub-wire limiting portion 1107.


The first sub-wire limiting portion 1106 corresponds to an end of the wire passing portion 1103 in the first direction and extends in the third direction. For example, the first sub-wire limiting portion 1106 is substantially aligned with an end (e.g., a rear end) of the wire passing portion 1103 in the first direction.


The second sub-wire limiting portion 1107 includes a first wire limiting section 11071 and a second wire limiting section 11072. The first wire limiting section 11071 corresponds to another end of the wire passing portion 1103 in the first direction and extends in the third direction. For example, the first wire limiting section 11071 is substantially aligned with another end (e.g., a front end) of the wire passing portion 1103 in the first direction. The second wire limiting section 11072 is connected to an end (e.g., a bottom end) of the first wire limiting section 11071 away from the wire passing portion 1103, and extends toward the first sub-wire limiting portion 1106 in the first direction. In this way, the first sub-wire limiting portion 1106, the second sub-wire limiting portion 1107, and the supporting body 1100 can cooperatively form the wire limiting region 1105.


By providing the first sub-wire limiting portion 1106 and the second sub-wire limiting portion 1107, the wire limiting region 1105 can limit the first wire 111 in the first direction, thereby preventing the first wire 111 from shaking back and forth on a side of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61. In addition, the first wire limiting section 11071 extends in the third direction, so that the guide length of the wire limiting portion 1104 to the first wire 111 in the wire limiting region 1105 can be increased, the structural stability of the wire limiting region 1105 can be enhanced, the guide effect of the wire limiting region 1105 to the first wire 111 can be improved, and the neatness of the first wire 111 can be improved under the action of the wire limiting region 1105.



FIG. 23 is a schematic view of a second bracket of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments from another perspective.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 23, the first sub-wire limiting portion 1106 is located on a side (e.g., an upper side) of the second wire limiting section 11072 away from the electrical assembly 70, and is spaced from an end (e.g., a rear end) of the second wire limiting section 11072 away from the first wire limiting section 11071. In this way, a guide length of the wire limiting portion 1104 to the first wire 111 in the third direction can be increased, and the wire limiting effect of the wire limiting portion 1104 to the first wire 111 can be further improved, thereby improving the neatness of the first wire 111 on a side of the supporting body 1100.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, the second bracket 110 further includes a first pressing plate 1108. The first pressing plate 1108 is provided on a side (e.g., a left side) of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the motor 61. A surface (e.g., an upper surface) of the first pressing plate 1108 away from the electrical assembly 70 is substantially coplanar with a surface (e.g., an upper surface) of the supporting body 1100 away from the electrical assembly 70. The first pressing plate 1108 is configured to limit the movement of the first wire 111 away from the electrical assembly 70 in the third direction, so as to limit the position of the first wire 111 on a side of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the motor 61 in the third direction, and to prevent a part of the first wire 111 from being higher than the second bracket 110, which would affect the installation and operation of other components in the window air conditioner 100. In this way, the neatness of the first wire 111 routing on the second bracket 110 can be improved, and the first wire 111 can be easily connected to the electrical assembly 70 and the motor 61.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 to FIG. 23, the second bracket 110 further includes a first limiting portion 1109. The first limiting portion 1109 is provided on a side of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the motor 61, and is spaced apart from the first pressing plate 1108. The first limiting portion 1109 is located on a side (e.g., a rear side) of the first pressing plate 1108 adjacent to the air guide portion 92. As shown in FIG. 3, the first limiting portion 1109 is configured to fix the pressure reducing pipe 113, so that the pressure reducing pipe 113 located on a side of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the motor 61 is arranged neatly, and the pressure reducing pipe 113 is prevented from falling off. For example, the first limiting portion 1109 includes a hook. The window air conditioner 100 further includes the pressure reducing pipe 113 provided in the refrigerant cycle circuit and configured to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the pressure reducing pipe 113. The pressure reducing pipe 113 may also be referred to as a capillary tube, and the pressure reducing pipe 113 may be a thin and long copper tube.


The first limiting portion 1109 has a simple structure, so that the pressure reducing pipe 113 located on a side of the supporting body 1100 adjacent to the motor 61 is attached to the supporting body 1100, thereby preventing the pressure reducing pipe 113 from being entangled with other pipelines or wires in the window air conditioner 100.


The first limiting portion 1109 is not limited to fixing the pressure reducing pipe 113. In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 1109 may also be configured to fix the first wire 111 to further improve the neatness of the first wire 111.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 to FIG. 23, the second bracket 110 further includes a second pressing plate 1110. The second pressing plate 1110 is provided on a side (e.g., a right side) of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61, and is spaced apart from the wire limiting portion 1104. The second pressing plate 1110 is located on a side (e.g., a rear side) of the wire limiting portion 1104 adjacent to the air guide portion 92, and a surface (e.g., an upper surface) of the second pressing plate 1110 away from the electrical assembly 70 is substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the supporting body 1100. The window air conditioner 100 further includes a second lead wire 112. As shown in FIG. 3, the second pressing plate 1110 is configured to limit the movement of the second wire 112 away from the electrical assembly 70 in the third direction, so as to limit the position of the second wire 112 on the side of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61 in the third direction, and to prevent a part of the second wire 112 from being higher than the second bracket 110 to affect the installation and operation of other components in the window air conditioner 100. In this way, the neatness of the second wire 112 on the second bracket 110 can be improved, and the assembly and maintenance of the window air conditioner 100 is facilitated.


It should be noted that as shown in FIG. 3, the second wire 112 may be configured to detect the temperature of a coil 401 of the outdoor heat exchanger 40. The second wire 112 may also be referred to as an outdoor pipe temperature wire.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 to FIG. 23, the second bracket 110 further includes a second limiting portion 1111. The second limiting portion 1111 is provided on a side of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61, and is spaced apart from the second pressing plate 1110. The second limiting portion 1111 is located on a side (e.g., a rear side) of the second pressing plate 1110 away from the wire limiting portion 1104. The second limiting portion 1111 is configured to fix the second wire 112, so as to prevent the second wire 112 from shaking in the window air conditioner 100, and to allow the second wire 112 to bypass the motor 61 to prevent the heat from the motor 61 from affecting the temperature measurement of the second wire 112. The second limiting portion 1111 may include a buckle.


The second limiting portion 1111 and the second pressing plate 1110 are spaced apart from each other, so that the second wire 112 can be routed attaching to the second bracket 110 on a side of the supporting body 1100 away from the motor 61, thereby improving the neatness of the second wire 112 in the window air conditioner 100. In addition, the second limiting portion 1111 can also allow the first wire 111 to bypass the second wire 112, which prevents the second wire 112 from being entangled with the first wire 111, and facilitates the organization and maintenance of the wires in the window air conditioner 100.


It should be noted that the wires limited by the second bracket 110 is not limited to the first wire 111 and the second wire 112, and may also be a wire or a pipeline between other components in the window air conditioner 100, which is not limited therein.


The reactor 120 in some embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below.



FIG. 24 is still another partial perspective view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 24, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a reactor 120 provided in the housing. The reactor 120 is electrically connected to the electrical assembly 70 and is adjacent to another side (e.g., a left side) of the housing 10 in the second direction. The reactor 120 is configured to filter out high-order harmonics generated by a frequency conversion circuit and high-order harmonics flowing through a power grid, so as to avoid affecting the frequency conversion circuit and the power grid. The reactor 120 can thus play a double filtering role. Through the filtering effect of reactor 120, the stability of the circuit in the window air conditioner 100 can be improved, thereby improving the operation reliability of the window air conditioner 100.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 24, the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70 are opposite each other in the second direction. For example, the reactor 120 is adjacent to a side wall on said other side of the housing 10 in the second direction, and the electrical assembly 70 is adjacent to a side wall on said side of the housing 10 in the second direction.


When the window air conditioner 100 operates, the heat exchange air flow (e.g., the indoor air entering the housing 10) in the indoor air duct assembly 20 may flow through the surface of the electrical assembly 70 and dissipate the heat on the electrical assembly 70. The heat exchange air flow (e.g., the outdoor air entering the housing 10) in the housing 10 may flow through the surface of the reactor 120 and dissipate the heat on the reactor 120. Moreover, since the heat exchange air flow in the indoor air duct assembly 20 can be cooled by the indoor heat exchanger 30, and the heat exchange air flow in the housing 10 can be cooled by the outdoor heat exchanger 40, the ambient temperature around the electrical assembly 70 and the ambient temperature around the reactor 120 may be relatively low. In this way, the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70 can be cooled by air cooling in the window air conditioner 100, and the heat dissipation efficiency and the heat dissipation effect of the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70 can be improved.


In addition, the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120 are adjacent to two sides of the housing 10 in the second direction, respectively, so as to avoid components located in the middle of the housing 10. In this way, the space for installing other components of the window air conditioner 100 in the housing 10 can be increased, and the arrangement of the components in the window air conditioner 100 can be facilitated, so that the internal structure of the window air conditioner 100 can be relatively compact, which is conducive to reducing the size of the housing 10 and facilitating the miniaturization of the window air conditioner 100. In addition, by providing the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120 adjacent to two sides of the housing 10 in the second direction, respectively, the contact area between the electrical assembly 70 as well as the reactor 120 and the heat exchange air flow can be increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and the heat dissipation effect of the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 24, the reactor 120 is arranged between the outdoor heat exchanger 40 and the indoor air duct assembly 20. In this way, the compactness of the structure of the reactor 120, the outdoor heat exchanger 40 and the indoor air duct assembly 20 in the window air conditioner 100 can be improved, the utilization rate of the internal space of the window air conditioner 100 can be raised, the size of the housing 10 can be reduced, the window air conditioner 100 can be miniaturized, and the production cost of the window air conditioner 100 can be reduced.


In some embodiments, a side (e.g., a left side) of the reactor 120 away from the electrical assembly 70 in the second direction is closer to the electrical assembly 70 than a side (e.g., a left side) of the indoor air duct assembly 20 away from the electrical assembly 70 in the second direction. In this way, the left side of the reactor 120 may not exceed the left side of the indoor air duct assembly 20 in the second direction, which may prevent the reactor 120 from affecting the flow direction of the air flow in the housing 10. In addition, the contact area between the surface of the reactor 120 and the heat exchange air flow in the housing 10 can be increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency and the heat dissipation effect of the reactor 120 can be improved.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the reactor 120 is located on a side (e.g., a left side) of the bracket body 91 away from the electrical assembly 70 in the second direction, and the reactor 120 is closer to the electrical assembly 70 than a side (e.g., a left side) of the air guide portion 92 away from the electrical assembly 70 in the second direction. In this way, the bracket body 91 can be located in the middle of the inner space of the housing 10, so as to improve the reliability of the operation of the second fan 63. The electrical assembly 70, the bracket body 91, and the reactor 120 can be arranged compactly manner, which is conducive to reducing the size of the housing 10 and miniaturizing the window air conditioner 100. This also prevents the reactor 120 from affecting the flow direction of the air flow in the air guide portion 92. In addition, the contact area between the surface of the reactor 120 and the heat exchange air flow in the housing 10 can be increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency and the heat dissipation effect of the reactor 120 can be improved.



FIG. 25 is a perspective view of a second fan of a fan assembly according to some embodiments.


In some embodiments, at least a part of the reactor 120 corresponds to the second fan 63, and at least a part of the electrical assembly 70 corresponds to the second fan 63. For example, as shown in FIG. 25, the second fan 63 includes a fan body 630 and a rotating ring 631. The fan body 630 is rotated by the motor 61 to disturb the air flow. The rotating ring 631 is provided around the fan body 630 and is connected to the fan body 630. The rotating ring 631 is configured to spray a part of condensed water in the housing 10 to the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70 as the fan body 630 rotates.


In this way, when the window air conditioner 100 operates, the rotating ring 631 can circumferentially spray the condensed water in the housing 10 in a direction away from the second fan 63. At least a part of the sprayed condensed water can be sprayed to the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70 and contact with the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70, so as to realize the heat dissipation of the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70, further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the reactor 120 and the electrical assembly 70, and improve the operation performance of the window air conditioner 100.



FIG. 26 is a schematic view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments from still another perspective.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 26, the housing 10 includes a plurality of outdoor air outlets 104, and the plurality of outdoor air outlets 104 may be respectively formed on both side walls (e.g., a left side wall and a right side wall) of the housing 10 in the second direction. The outdoor air outlets 104 formed on a side wall (e.g., a right side wall) of the housing 10 in the second direction may be in communication with the electrical assembly 70, and the outdoor air outlets 104 formed on another side wall (e.g., a left side wall) of the housing 10 in the second direction may be in communication with the reactor 120. In this way, when the second fan 63 blows the heat exchange air flow, which has exchanged heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 40, to the outside, the heat exchange air flow, which has exchanged heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 40, can flow to the outside of the housing 10 through the outdoor air outlet 104. In this process, heat from the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120 can be dissipated by the heat exchange air flow, and then directly delivered out of the housing 10, so as to prevent the heat from the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120 from being transferred in the window air conditioner 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120, and improving the air-cooling heat dissipation effect of the electrical assembly 70 and the reactor 120. It should be noted that the outdoor air outlet 104 in FIGS. 2 and 26 can also be replaced by the outdoor air inlet 103.



FIG. 27 is still another partial schematic view of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. FIG. 28 is a partial enlarged view of the circled portion F of FIG. 27.


In some embodiments, the reactor 120 is connected to the first bracket 90. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, the first bracket 90 further includes a first fixing portion 923. The first fixing portion 923 is provided on the air guide portion 92 and adjacent to the reactor 120. For example, the first fixing portion 923 is provided at the bottom of the air guide portion 92 and adjacent to the reactor 120. The reactor 120 includes a reactor body 1201 and a second fixing portion 1202. The second fixing portion 1202 is provided on the reactor body 1201 and is connected (e.g., snap-fitted) to the first fixing portion 923.


By providing the first fixing portion 923 and the second fixing portion 1202, the connection between the air guide portion 92 and the reactor 120 can be facilitated. Moreover, the first fixing portion 923 and the second fixing portion 1202 have a simple structure and reliable connection, so that the mounting efficiency of the reactor 120 can be improved, and the stability and reliability of the connection between the reactor 120 and the air guide portion 92 in the window air conditioner 100 can be improved, thereby improving the structural reliability of the window air conditioner 100.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 28, one of the first fixing portion 923 and the second fixing portion 1202 is a buckle, and the other one is a through hole. The buckle is engaged in the through hole. The buckle and the through hole are simple in structure and convenient to process, which can improve the production efficiency of the window air conditioner 100. In addition, the connection between the buckle and the through hole is reliable, so as to facilitate the positioning of the reactor 120 and the air guide portion 92 in the window air conditioner 100, thereby facilitating the assembling of the reactor 120 and the air guide portion 92, and further improving the assembling efficiency of the window air conditioner 100.



FIG. 29 is a perspective view of a reactor of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments. FIG. 30 is a perspective view of a mounting frame of a window air conditioner according to some embodiments.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 27, the window air conditioner 100 further includes a mounting frame 130. The mounting frame 130 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10, and the reactor 120 is provided on the mounting frame 130.
