         17 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 14 , wherein the transitional shielding member includes a shielding shell rotatable relative to the indoor unit component and the outdoor unit component. 
     
     
         18 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 17 , wherein:
 the indoor unit component and the outdoor unit component are pivotally connected to each other by a hinge assembly and are rotatable relative to each other about a unique pivot axis extending in a transverse direction; and   the shielding shell includes:
 a top shell extending in the transverse direction and configured to shield above the hinge assembly; and 
 an end shell connected to an end of the top shell in the transverse direction, the end shell being rotatably and pivotally connected to the hinge assembly about the pivot axis. 
   
     
     
         19 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 18 , wherein:
 the first communication opening is formed between an inner side edge of the top shell and the indoor unit component;   the second communication opening is formed between an outer side edge of the top shell and the outdoor unit component;   the indoor unit component includes a first flange configured to stop against an outer side of the inner side edge; and   the outdoor unit component includes a second flange configured to stop against an inner side of the outer side edge.   
     
     
         20 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 19 , wherein:
 the hinge assembly includes a first articulation member arranged at the indoor unit component and a second articulation member arranged at the outdoor unit component;   the second articulation member is hinged to the first articulation member and configured to be reciprocally rotatable between a first angular position and a second angular position; and   the second articulation member is configured to, when rotating to a third angular position between the first angular position and the second angular position in a process of rotating from the first angular position, be in contact with the outer side edge to push the shielding shell to rotate synchronously towards the second angular position.   
     
     
         21 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 20 , wherein the second flange is configured to, when the second articulation member rotates to the third angular position in a process of rotating from the second angular position, be in contact with the outer side edge to pull the shielding shell to rotate synchronously with the second articulation member towards the first angular position for resetting.
