[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket includes a base 1 and an extension frame 2. The extension frame 2 is movably disposed on the base 1 and has a first movable position overlapping with the base 1 and a second movable position unfolded relative to the base 1. The base 1 can cooperate with the extension frame 2 and be fixedly connected to the air conditioner mounting position of the vehicle.

[0034] By providing a movable extension frame 2 on the base 1 of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket, by adjusting the position of the extension frame 2 relative to the base 1, the extension frame 2 can be unfolded or folded relative to the base 1. When the extension frame 2 is folded relative to the base 1, the structural stiffness of the base 1 can be effectively improved. When the extension frame 2 is unfolded relative to the base 1, the unfolding amplitude can be adjusted according to the structure of the air conditioner installation opening, thereby enhancing the structural strength at the entire installation opening position, so that the overall strength of the installation opening can be improved. Since the position of the extension frame 2 relative to the base 1 can be adjusted, the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket can be applied to installation openings of different shapes and sizes, thereby effectively improving the versatility and adaptability of the mounting bracket and reducing the difficulty of air conditioner installation.

[0035] Through the above vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket, different structural forms of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket can be selected according to the different structures of the installation openings on the vehicle, which can effectively achieve the purpose of generalizing the accessories of the air conditioner mounting bracket and effectively avoid the problem that the structural strength at the installation opening is insufficient and deformed due to the mismatch between the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket and the installation opening structure.

[0036] In one embodiment, the extension frame 2 can be slidably disposed on the base 1 as a whole.

[0037] In another embodiment, the extension frame 2 can be rotatably disposed on the base 1 as a whole.

[0038] The expansion and retraction method of the expansion frame 2 relative to the base 1 can also be other methods. For example, a screw drive method can be used to achieve the expansion or retraction of the expansion frame 2, or a telescopic cylinder can be used to connect the base 1 and the expansion frame 2, and then the expansion and retraction of the expansion frame 2 relative to the base 1 can be achieved by controlling the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinder.

[0039] During the expansion or retraction process, the expansion or retraction position of the expansion frame 2 relative to the base 1 is controllable, so that the position of the expansion frame 2 relative to the base 1 can be adjusted according to needs, enabling the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket formed by the combination of the expansion frame 2 and the base 1 to match the mounting opening structure on the vehicle, thereby optimizing the enhancement of the vehicle structure strength at the mounting opening and effectively meeting the air conditioner installation requirements.

[0040] For this application, when the expansion frame 2 is fully expanded relative to the base 1, the support area of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket can be maximized at this time, making the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket suitable for air conditioners with larger opening sizes and meeting the installation requirements of air conditioners with large opening sizes; when the expansion frame 2 is fully retracted relative to the base 1, superposition with the base 1 can be achieved at this time, thereby increasing the structural stiffness of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket, reducing the deformation amount of the roof when the indoor and outdoor units are connected, and achieving the rigidity and stability of the whole machine connection; when the expansion frame 2 is in a semi-retracted state relative to the base 1, not only can the support area of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket be increased at this time, making the mounting plate structure suitable for motorhome air conditioners with different opening sizes and achieving generalization, but also the structural stiffness of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket can be enhanced to a certain extent, enhancing the structural stiffness of the roof at the mounting opening position, reducing the deformation amount of the roof when the indoor and outdoor units are connected, and effectively enhancing both the support area and the structural stiffness of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket.

[0041] In one embodiment, the expansion frame 2 includes a first expansion layer 3. The first expansion layer 3 is slidably disposed on the base 1. The first expansion layer 3 can slide relative to the base 1 along a first direction or slide relative to the base 1 along a second direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. In this embodiment, the first expansion layer 3 can slide relative to the base along the first direction or the second direction to Figure 2 and Figure 3 take as an example, where the first direction is the width direction of the base and the second direction is the length direction of the base. By adjusting the first expansion layer 3 to slide relative to the base 1 along the first direction, the support area of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket in the width direction can be increased. By adjusting the first expansion layer 3 to slide relative to the base 1 along the second direction, the support area of the vehicle mounting bracket in the length direction can be increased. When installing the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket, the structure of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket can be adjusted according to the size and structure of the mounting opening, so as to meet the structural strength requirements during the air conditioner installation process.

[0042] In this embodiment, the base 1 includes a bottom plate 5 and a guide plate 6 disposed on the bottom plate 5 and extending in the first direction. The guide plate 6 is fixed relative to the bottom plate 5, and a guide groove 7 is formed between the guide plate 6 and the bottom plate 5. One end of the first extension layer 3 close to the guide groove 7 is provided with a guide protrusion 8, and the guide protrusion 8 extends into the guide groove 7 and slides along the guidance of the guide groove 7.

[0043] The base 1 adopts a whole flat plate structure as the support foundation, which can achieve strength support. At the same time, it is convenient for the first extension layer 3 to slide on the base 1, facilitating the lateral stretching or longitudinal expansion of the first extension layer 3 on the base 1, and realizing the adjustment of the length or width of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket. The base 1, as the main body of the mounting plate, is the basic load-bearing member of the air conditioner mounting plate and has the function of bearing and connecting the indoor unit.

[0044] The guide plate 6 on the base 1 can provide guiding and limiting functions for the sliding of the first extension layer 3 on the base 1. When the first extension layer 3 slides on the base 1 in the first direction, it will be limited by the guide plate 6. Thus, the first extension layer 3 can be stably held on the base 1 by the interaction force between the guide protrusion 8 and the guide plate 6, preventing the first extension layer 3 from flipping out of the base 1 when sliding in the first direction, and improving the stability and reliability of the first extension layer 3 during the sliding process in the first direction. The guide protrusion 8 is provided on one side in the width direction of the first extension layer 3 and is located on the side away from the sliding-out side of the first extension layer 3, so that the first extension layer 3 always maintains sufficient contact with the guide plate 6 during the sliding process, improving the structural stability.

[0045] A stop block 9 is provided at the edge of the guide plate 6. The stop block 9 is provided on the movement track of the guide protrusion 8 and is used to limit the sliding of the first extension layer 3 in the first direction. The guide protrusion 8 is provided on the side of the first extension layer 3 away from the stop block 9. The stop block 9 is located on the sliding-out side of the first extension layer of the guide plate 6 and is mainly used to limit the sliding of the first extension layer 3 in the first direction. When the first extension layer 3 slides to the limit position in the first direction, at this time, the guide protrusion 8 slides to the position where the stop block 9 is located and is blocked by the stop block 9, and cannot slide outwards continuously, thus avoiding the problem of the first extension layer 3 detaching from the base 1.

[0046] The stop block 9 can be directly provided on the guide plate 6, or directly formed by bending the edge of the guide plate 6, or directly provided at the position on the bottom plate 5 corresponding to the edge of the guide plate 6, as long as it can effectively block the guide protrusion 8.

[0047] One end of the first extension layer 3 away from the guiding groove 7 is provided with a hook 13, and one end of the bottom plate 5 away from the guiding groove 7 is provided with a stop projection 10. The hook 13 is hooked on the bottom plate 5, and the first extension layer 3 is slidably arranged on the bottom plate 5 through the hook 13. The stop projection 10 is used to limit the sliding position of the first extension layer 3 in the first direction.

[0048] The hook 13 and the guiding projection 8 are arranged on the same side edge of the first extension layer 3, and the hook 13 is bent towards the side where the bottom plate 5 is located and hooked on one end of the bottom plate 5 away from the guiding plate 6. When the first extension layer 3 slides in the first direction, the hook 13 can be hooked on the bottom plate 5, so that the first extension layer 3 can be kept on the bottom plate 5, ensuring the stability of the installation structure of the first extension layer 3 on the base 1. The hook 13 can cooperate with the guiding projection 8 to limit the first extension layer 3 on the bottom plate 5 from both ends of the long side of the first extension layer 3, further ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure during the sliding process of the first extension layer 3 in the first direction, and improving the structural strength of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket during the air conditioner installation process. The stop projection 10 on the bottom plate 5 can form a stop for the sliding position of the hook 13 in the first direction, thereby preventing the first extension layer 3 from sliding out of the range of the base 1 during the sliding process in the first direction, and making the first extension layer 3 stably kept on the base 1.

[0049] A guide rail 11 is arranged on the edge of the first extension layer 3 extending in the second direction. The first extension layer 3 is slidably arranged on the bottom plate 5 along the second direction through the guide rail 11. When the first extension layer 3 slides in the second direction, the bottom plate 5 is located in the sliding track of the guide rail 11.

[0050] When the first extension layer 3 slides relative to the base 1 along the second direction, one side of the first extension layer 3 close to the stop block 9 is always kept in the guide rail 11. Thus, during the sliding process of the first extension layer 3 along the second direction, it can always be limited by the side plates of the guide rail 11, effectively kept on the base 1, improving the stability and reliability of the cooperation structure between the first extension layer 3 and the base 1 during the sliding process in the second direction, and also effectively avoiding the problem of the first extension layer 3 flipping during the sliding process in the second direction through the up and down limitation of the guide rail on the first extension layer 3.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to realize the sliding of the first extension layer 3 relative to the base 1 in the first direction and the second direction, it is necessary to effectively avoid the interference of the sliding structure of the first extension layer 3 in the first direction on the sliding structure in the second direction, and also avoid the influence of the sliding structure of the first extension layer 3 in the second direction on the sliding structure in the first direction, so as to ensure that the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket can select the movement direction of the first extension layer 3 according to needs, further improving the versatility of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket.

[0052] On the base 1, at least two mounting holes 12 are provided along the second direction. One mounting hole 12 is provided on the first extension layer 3, or at least two mounting holes 12 are provided on the first extension layer 3 along the second direction.

[0053] For example, at least two mounting holes 12 can be provided on the base 1 along the second direction, and one mounting hole 12 can be provided on the first extension layer 3. This mounting hole is used to install the connecting bolts for the indoor and outdoor units. By adjusting the corresponding relationship between the mounting hole 12 on the first extension layer 3 and the mounting hole 12 on the base 1, the extended length of the first extension layer 3 on the base 1 can be adjusted. By setting the connecting bolts for the indoor and outdoor units in the required mounting holes 12, the relative positions of the base 1 and the first extension layer 3 can be positioned simultaneously using the connecting bolts for the indoor and outdoor units, and at the same time, the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket is installed and fixed at the top mounting opening of the vehicle.

[0054] In another embodiment, at least two mounting holes 12 can be provided on the base 1 along the second direction, and at least two mounting holes 12 can be provided on the first extension layer 3 along the second direction, so as to form a variety of different combinations of aligned mounting holes, further improving the combination method of the mounting holes between the base 1 and the first extension layer 3, increasing the optional ways of the length of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket, and improving the applicability of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket.

[0055] The guide plate 6 is arranged at the middle of the side of the bottom plate 5 extending along the second direction. The first extension layers 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide plate 6. In this embodiment, the base 1 is an integral flat structure, and the first extension layers 3 are two, and a structure that is bisected in half is formed on the base 1, thereby further improving the expandability of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket, enabling the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket to present a symmetrical structure as a whole, and ensuring the balance of the overall force-bearing structure at the mounting opening position.

[0056] The extension frame 2 further includes a second extension layer 4, and the second extension layer 4 is rotatably arranged on the first extension layer 3. The second extension layer 4 is arranged on the first extension layer 3 and can rotate 360° relative to the first extension layer 3, so as to be able to cooperate with the first extension layer 3 and the base 1 to form a stable triangular support structure, effectively increasing the support area of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket and enhancing the support stability of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket.

[0057] In this embodiment, a connecting shaft 14 is provided on the second extension layer 4, and a shaft hole 15 is provided on the first extension layer 3. The second extension layer 4 is rotatably arranged in the shaft hole 15 through the connecting shaft 14. Preferably, a threaded structure is provided at one end of the connecting shaft 14 extending out of the first extension layer 3, and a nut is provided on the threaded structure, so that the second extension layer 4 can be limited on the first extension layer 3, and to prevent the connecting shaft 14 from disengaging from the shaft hole 15 during the rotation of the second extension layer 4. The rotation connection between the second extension layer 4 and the first extension layer 3 can also be realized by means of cooperation between positioning columns and snap rings, etc.

[0058] The sliding of the first extension layer 3 relative to the base 1 can also be realized by means of chain drive or rack and pinion drive, etc.

[0059] The first extension layer 3 can also slide relative to the base 1 only in the first direction, or only in the second direction relative to the base 1, or only rotate relative to the base 1, or only flip relative to the base 1.

[0060] Mounting holes 12 are provided on the second extension layer 4. When the second extension layer 4 rotates relative to the first extension layer 3, it can be rotationally adapted according to the structural characteristics of the outdoor unit installation substrate and the size of the installation opening, and then fixed by installing the indoor and outdoor unit connection bolts in the mounting holes 12. At this time, the second extension layer 4 is fixed in the shaft hole 15 through the connecting shaft 14 and fixed at the installation opening through the indoor and outdoor unit connection bolts, effectively preventing the second extension layer 4 from rotating and ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation structure of the second extension layer 4. There can be multiple mounting holes 12, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second extension layer 4. On the one hand, it can form a fit with the mounting holes 12 on the base 1 and the first extension layer 3, and on the other hand, it can form a connection fit with the air conditioner outdoor unit through the indoor and outdoor unit connection bolts after rotation.

[0061] The above-mentioned indoor and outdoor unit connection bolts play two roles during the use of the vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket. One role is to fix the stretching position of the first extension layer 3 and the rotation position of the second extension layer 4, and the other role is to connect the indoor and outdoor units.

[0062] In another embodiment, the extension bracket 2 includes a first extension layer 3 and a second extension layer 4. The first extension layer 3 is rotatably arranged on the base 1, and the second extension layer 4 is slidably arranged on the first extension layer 3. In this embodiment, the second layer structure cooperating with the base 1 is a rotatable structure, and the third layer structure cooperating with the second layer structure is a structure that can slide relative to the second layer structure.

[0063] The above-mentioned base 1, first extension layer 3 and second extension layer 4 can all be made of sheet metal parts.

[0064] The base 1 further includes a lateral connecting plate 16 which is connected to the side edge of the bottom plate 5 extending in the second direction, and the guide plate 6 is fixedly arranged on the lateral connecting plate 16.

[0065] The lateral connecting plate 16 has two functions. One is positioning, hooking the side wall of the installation opening for installing the air conditioner on the vehicle to achieve positioning with the vehicle and the vehicle air conditioner outdoor unit. The other is to increase the strength of the sheet metal part, avoiding the deformation of the sheet metal part due to excessive force and forming a gap between the sheet metal part and the vehicle body, thus preventing rainwater or other dirt outside the vehicle body and the condensate water of the outdoor unit from leaking into the vehicle body.

[0066] The vehicle air conditioner mounting bracket of the present application adopts a three-layer structure. The first layer is the mounting plate main body, which serves as the basic load-bearing member of the RV air conditioner mounting plate and also undertakes the role of connecting the indoor unit. The second layer undertakes the role of expanding the load-bearing range of the mounting plate, and can achieve the lateral stretching and longitudinal telescoping of the mounting plate. The third layer of the mounting plate undertakes the role of expanding the load-bearing range of the mounting plate and enhancing the support and fixation, and can achieve 360° rotational support of the mounting plate. The second and third layers are connected by a connecting shaft and a fastening nut, and the rotation angle of the third layer is fixed.
