Abstract

An air conditioner includes a housing, a chassis, and a plurality of support feet. The two opposite ends of each support foot are a first end and a second end. A clamping groove is concavely formed in the first end. A positioning portion is convexly disposed in the second end. The positioning portion of the support foot can be inserted into the clamping groove in an aligned manner, such that the second end is spliced with the first end. The clamping groove of the support foot can be inserted into the positioning portion of another adjacent support foot in an aligned manner, such that the first end of the support foot is spliced with the second end of the another adjacent support foot.

 a connection column, connected to each support foot and disposed from the side of each support foot facing the chassis; and 
 an extension arm, disposed on the connection column and having a fixed end and a free end, wherein the fixed end is connected to the insertion column, the free end extends toward a direction close to each support foot, and the extension arm is engaged with the insertion groove. 
   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein outer surfaces of the plurality of support feet are sequentially spliced end to end to form an annular inclined structure. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the positioning portion is convexly disposed in the second end of each support foot. 
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first end is provided with a first clamping portion disposed from a sidewall of the clamping groove toward an interior of the clamping groove;   the positioning portion is provided with a first positioning groove formed corresponding to the first clamping portion; and   when the positioning portion is inserted into the clamping groove in place, the first clamping portion is embedded into the first positioning groove to fix the positioning portion within the clamping groove in a clamped manner.   
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein each support foot is detachably connected to the chassis. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection column and the insertion groove have complementary shapes and dimensions. 
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of insertion grooves are formed corresponding to the insertion column of the plurality of support feet; and the insertion column of each support foot is inserted into the corresponding insertion groove in an aligned manner. 
     
     
         8 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the side of each support foot facing the chassis is provided with a plurality of insertion columns. 
     
     
         9 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a second locking portion and a second positioning groove are provided between the insertion column and the insertion groove; the second positioning groove is arranged corresponding to the second locking portion; and the second locking portion is engaged within the second positioning groove. 
     
     
         10 . The air conditioner according to  claim 9 , wherein:
 the insertion column is provided with a second clamping portion;   a groove wall surface of the insertion groove is provided with the second positioning groove formed corresponding to the second clamping portion; and   when the insertion column is inserted into the insertion groove in place, the second clamping portion is embedded into the second positioning groove to fix the insertion column within the insertion groove in a clamped manner.   
     
     
         11 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the free end is provided with the second clamping portion. 
     
     
         12 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein a surface of the second clamping portion forms a second guiding inclined surface, and the second guiding inclined surface is inclined toward the second positioning groove.
