Window air conditioner

Abstract

A window air conditioner includes an indoor unit component and an outdoor unit component. The indoor unit component includes an indoor unit body. The outdoor unit component includes an outdoor unit body spaced apart from the indoor unit body in a longitudinal direction. The indoor unit component is rotatably connected to the outdoor unit component, to enable the outdoor unit component and the indoor unit component to rotate relative to each other about a rotation axis extending in a transverse direction.

         12 . A window air conditioner comprising:
 an indoor unit component including an indoor unit body; and   an outdoor unit component including an outdoor unit body spaced apart from the indoor unit body in a longitudinal direction;   wherein the indoor unit component is rotatably connected to the outdoor unit component, to enable the outdoor unit component and the indoor unit component to rotate relative to each other about a rotation axis extending in a transverse direction.   
     
     
         13 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 12 , wherein the outdoor unit body is reciprocally rotatable about the rotation axis between:
 a first state, in which a back plate of the outdoor unit body is vertically arranged, and the rotation axis is located at a position at which a top portion of the back plate of the outdoor unit body is located; and   a second state, in which the back plate of the outdoor unit body is transversely arranged.   
     
     
         14 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 13 , wherein:
 the indoor unit component further includes a connection support configured to pass through a window opening, the connection support including an outer end extending to be pivotally connected to an upper inner end of the outdoor unit body, to enable the rotation axis to be located at an intersection between the back plate and a top plate of the outdoor unit body; and   the back plate of the outdoor unit body is flush with a bottom plate of the connection support when the outdoor unit body is in the second state.   
     
     
         15 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 13 , wherein the back plate of the outdoor unit body includes a guide structure configured to be engaged with a guide rail at a mounting support mounted at the window opening to allow a drawable guiding of the outdoor unit body in an inward-outward direction in the second state. 
     
     
         16 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 15 , wherein:
 the guide structure is a first guide structure; and   the connection support includes a second guide structure at a bottom of the connection support, the second guide structure being configured to be engaged with the guide rail after the first guide structure is engaged with the guide rail.   
     
     
         17 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a limit structure configured to prevent the outdoor unit body from further rotating in a current rotation direction in response to the outdoor unit body rotating into the second state in a process of rotating relative to the indoor unit component.   
     
     
         18 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a limit structure configured to prevent, in response to the outdoor unit body rotating into the second state in a process of rotating relative to the indoor unit component, the outdoor unit body from rotating reversely in a direction along which the outdoor unit body returns to the first state.   
     
     
         19 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 18 , wherein:
 the limit structure includes:
 a first buckle arranged at the indoor unit component; and 
 a second buckle arranged at the outdoor unit component; 
   when the outdoor unit body is in the second state, the first buckle is engaged with the second buckle for locking to prevent the outdoor unit body from rotating reversely in the direction along which the outdoor unit body returns into the first state; and   the outdoor unit body is out of the second state when the first buckle is disengaged from the second buckle for unlocking.   
     
     
         20 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 18 , wherein:
 the limit structure includes:
 a pull rod; and 
 a slide groove extending in the longitudinal direction and formed at the indoor unit component; 
   the slide groove has a locking groove at an inner end of the slide groove, the locking groove extending upwardly;   the pull rod includes a first end rotatably connected to the outdoor unit body and a second end engaged with the slide groove to be slidable along the slide groove; and   the limit structure is configured to prevent, in response to the second end being engaged in the locking groove, the outdoor unit body from rotating reversely in the direction along which the outdoor unit body returns to the first state.   
     
     
         21 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 12 , wherein the indoor unit component is pivotally connected to the outdoor unit component. 
     
     
         22 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 12 , wherein the outdoor unit body has a grip groove located on at least one of a transverse side plate, a top plate, or a back plate of the outdoor unit body.
