MOBILE AIR CONDITIONER
A mobile air conditioner has a shell, a heat dissipation device, a sleeve, a sliding door, a air-discharge device and an air cooling assembly. The shell has an internal space and a vent, and the vent is on the top of the shell. The heat dissipation device has an inlet and an outlet. The sleeve is connected between the vent and the outlet. The sliding door is movably mounted in the shell and corresponds to the vent. The air-discharge device and the air cooling assembly are disposed in the internal space. Hot air inside the mobile air conditioner is upward dissipated from the vent.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an air conditioner, especially to a mobile air conditioner being movably used indoors.
2. Description of Related Art
In general, a conventional mobile air conditioner 10 is as shown in
When the mobile air conditioner 10 works, hot air in the mobile air conditioner 10 should be discharged and dissipated from the vent 12. In practical use, a tube 70 may be connected to the vent 12. The hot air flows from the tube 70 to a window and dissipates to the outdoors. To obtain good air conditioning performance with the spacious considerations, the mobile air conditioner 10 is usually moved to be near a wall 1 as shown in
Because the vent 12 is formed on the back side of the mobile air conditioner 10 and the tube 70 should be bent in an S-shape, the mobile air conditioner 10 cannot be placed closely beside on the wall 1, but stands apart from the wall 1 by a distance. Further, since the tube 70 is bent in the S-shape, the heat dissipation efficiency of the mobile air conditioner 10 is relatively low.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe main objective of the present invention is to provide a mobile air conditioner which can be placed close beside the wall further to abut flush against the wall. The user can move the mobile air conditioner more closely to the door, the wall or the window. Further, the tube will not be over bent when the mobile air conditioner abuts flush against the wall, so that the performance of heat dissipation is better than the mobile air conditioner of the prior art.
In order to achieve the objective above, the mobile air conditioner of the present invention has a shell, a heat dissipation device, a sleeve, a sliding door, an air-discharge device and an air cooling assembly. The shell has an internal space and a vent, and the vent is on the top of the shell. The heat dissipation device has an inlet and an outlet. The sleeve is connected between the vent and the outlet. The sliding door is movably mounted in the shell and corresponds to the vent. The air-discharge device and the air cooling assembly are disposed in the internal space. Hot air inside the mobile air conditioner is upward dissipated from the vent.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In
The top cover 248 functions as a top of the shell 20. The top cover 248 is formed with a vent 220 that allows hot air generated by the mobile air conditioner to be discharged. The vent 220 is formed on the top of the mobile air conditioner. When the mobile air conditioner is placed close to the wall, the shell 20 can abut flush against the wall. Therefore, the hot air can be exhausted from the mobile air conditioner along a vertical direction.
The top cover 248 includes a control panel 228 operable by a user to control multiple functions of the mobile air conditioner. The functions include, but are not limited to, adjusting, setting, pre-setting temperatures or the fan out direction. With reference to
In one embodiment, a sliding door 222 is mounted to close or open the vent 220 as shown in

With reference to
As described above, the hot air generated by the condenser 42 can be dissipated by the heat dissipation device 50. When the motor 520 drives the turbofan 530 to rotate, the hot air flows upward through the outlet 516 to be discharged. The bottom of the sleeve 54 is assembled with the outlet 516. The top of the sleeve 54 is connected with the vent 220. So the hot air could be discharged out of the mobile air conditioner. It is important that the hot air is upward discharged out of the mobile air conditioner, so that the mobile air conditioner can be placed abut flush against the wall.
The air-discharge device 60 comprises an air-discharge motor 602, an axial fan 604, a wheel cover 606 and a cool-air outlet 608 as shown in
With reference to
When the mobile air conditioner is not in use and the soft tube 70 is retracted in the sleeve 54, the user can close the sliding door 222. On the other hand, when the mobile air conditioner is in use, the user opens the sliding door 222 and pulls out the soft tube 70 upward, so the mobile air conditioner can abut flush against the wall. With reference to
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
