The mobile air conditioner of claim 2, wherein:
the mounting plate is provided with an extension port for the adapter to pass through; and
a positioning block is provided at a top surface of the adapter at a position away from the connection end of the adapter, and the first positioning block is configured to abut against a periphery of the extension port after the adapter protrudes from the extension port, the periphery of the extension port facing the opening.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The mobile air conditioner of claim 5, wherein:
the positioning block is a first positioning block and the periphery is a first periphery; and
each of two opposite sides of the adapter is provided with a second positioning block, the second positioning block extending from the extension port along with the connection end of the adapter and being configured to abut against a second periphery of the extension port, and the second periphery facing away from the opening.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The mobile air conditioner of claim 6, wherein the second positioning block is provided with a front guide surface in a slope shape, and the front guide surface extends from a top of the second positioning block toward the connection end of the adapter.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The mobile air conditioner of claim 6, wherein the second positioning block is provided with a rear guide surface in a slope shape, and the rear guide surface extends from a top of the second positioning block to be away from the connection end of the adapter.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The mobile air conditioner of claim 5, wherein: the positioning block is a first positioning block; a second positioning block is provided at the top surface of the adapter at a position close to the connection end of the adapter; and an elastic buckle is provided at the wire controller, and the elastic buckle is configured to buckle and fix with the second positioning block after the wire controller is inserted in and connected to the connection end.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The mobile air conditioner of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a chassis provided with a water receiving groove and an installation position for installing a compressor, and an electrical appliance accommodation area between the water receiving groove and the installation position is configured to accommodate an electrical component.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The mobile air conditioner of claim 10, further comprising:
an electrical appliance protective cover provided in the electrical appliance accommodation area;
wherein:
an upper surface of a bottom plate of the chassis is provided with a wiring channel; and
the electrical appliance protective cover is configured to cover at least one of the electrical component or the wiring channel in the electrical appliance accommodation area.
