[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present invention proposes an air conditioner mounting bracket 100 for installation at a window 411 of a roof 400. Specifically, the roof 400 is a gable roof 400, which includes two side walls that are inclined to each other, one of which has a window 411, at which the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 can be installed.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is used for installation at a window 411 of a roof 400. The air conditioner mounting bracket 100 includes an indoor unit bracket 10, an outdoor unit bracket 20, and an intermediate bracket 30. The indoor unit bracket 10 is used to install an indoor air conditioner 500; the outdoor unit bracket 20 is used to install an outdoor air conditioner 600; the intermediate bracket 30 connects the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20, and is used for installation inside the window 411, allowing the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20 to abut against opposite sides of the roof 400.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 includes an indoor unit bracket 10, an outdoor unit bracket 20, and an intermediate bracket 30 connecting the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20. To ensure structural strength, the indoor unit bracket 10, the outdoor unit bracket 20, and the intermediate bracket 30 are generally made of metal. The intermediate bracket 30 is installed inside the window 411 on one side wall of the roof 400. The structure of the intermediate bracket 30 can be designed according to needs, and there are various ways to fix the intermediate bracket 30. For example, the intermediate bracket 30 can be designed as a telescopic bracket with telescopic adjustment function. After the intermediate bracket 30 is telescopically adjusted to a suitable length, the two ends of the intermediate bracket 30 are respectively pressed against the two opposite inner walls of the window 411, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the intermediate bracket 30. Alternatively, the intermediate bracket 30 can be designed with two opposite clamping arms, which clamp the window frame 412 set in the window 411, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the intermediate bracket 30. Alternatively, the intermediate bracket 30 can be directly fixed inside the window 411 by fasteners (such as screws). As long as the intermediate bracket 30 can be stably installed inside the window 411, and after the intermediate bracket 30 is fixed, the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20 can respectively abut against the inner and outer sides of the roof 400. Once the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is secured, the installation of the split-type air conditioner can begin. Specifically, this is a portable mini split-type air conditioner that can be installed on the roof 400. Both the indoor unit 500 and the outdoor unit 600 of this split-type air conditioner are small in size and lightweight. During installation, the outdoor unit 600 is mounted on the outdoor unit bracket 20, and the indoor unit 500 is mounted on the indoor unit bracket 10. Then, the piping between the outdoor unit 600 and the indoor unit 500 is connected.

[0046] The air conditioner mounting bracket 100 of the present invention includes an indoor unit bracket 10, an outdoor unit bracket 20, and an intermediate bracket 30 connecting the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20. During installation, the intermediate bracket 30 is fixedly installed inside the window 411 of the roof 400, so that the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20 abut against the inner and outer sides of the roof 400 respectively. Installation is simple and convenient. Furthermore, the simultaneous action of the contact positions of the indoor unit bracket 10 with the inner side 401 of the roof 400, the outdoor unit bracket 20 with the outer side 402 of the roof 400, and the fixed position of the intermediate bracket 30 with the window 411 ensures the reliability of the installation between the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 and the roof 400. After the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is installed, the outdoor unit 600 and indoor unit 500 of the split-type air conditioner are respectively installed on the outdoor unit bracket 20 and the indoor unit bracket 10. The air conditioner mounting bracket 100 provides stable support for the split-type air conditioner. The air conditioner mounting bracket 100 of the present invention is well suited for installation on a pitched roof 400, and the installation method is simple, requiring no drilling through the wall. Users can complete the installation of split air conditioners at home without waiting for professional installation, which can improve installation efficiency and save installation costs.

[0047] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 7In one embodiment, the indoor unit bracket 10 includes a first bracket 11 connected to the intermediate bracket 30 and a second bracket 12 connected to the first bracket 11. The first bracket 11 is disposed opposite to the inner side 401 of the roof 400, and the first bracket 11 is provided with a support foot 13 for abutting against the inner side 401. The second bracket 12 is used to install the air conditioner indoor unit 500. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is installed on the roof 400, the first bracket 11 and the inner side 401 of the roof 400 have approximately the same tilt angle. The top of the first bracket 11 (i.e., the side near the window 411) is connected to the intermediate bracket 30, and the support foot 13 is disposed near the bottom of the first bracket 11. The first bracket 11 is disposed opposite to the inner side 401, and the support foot 13 can abut tightly against the inner side 401 of the roof 400 to ensure installation reliability. Optionally, the support foot 13 is configured as a suction cup structure, which allows the support foot 13 to abut more tightly against the inner side 401. In addition, the support foot 13 can be made of a damping material (such as rubber, silicone, etc.), which can increase the friction between it and the inner surface 401 of the roof 400, and also play a certain role in buffering and shock absorption. The second bracket 12 is located on the side of the first bracket 11 away from the inner surface 401 for mounting the air conditioner indoor unit 500. Optionally, the second bracket 12 is generally vertically arranged, and the top of the second bracket 12 is connected to the top of the first bracket 11, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 500 can be stably installed on the side of the second bracket 12 away from the first bracket 11.

[0048] To enable the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 to better fit roofs 400 with varying slopes, in one embodiment, the support foot 13 is positionally adjustable relative to the first bracket 11 to move closer to or further away from the inner side 401. Specifically, as... Figure 7 As shown, when the slope of the roof 400 (i.e., the tilt angle of the roof 400) changes, the distance between the support foot 13 and the inner side 401 can be adaptively adjusted by adjusting the support foot 13. This ensures that the support foot 13 can tightly abut against the inner side 401 of the roof 400 regardless of the slope of the roof 400, thus ensuring that the indoor unit bracket 10 can be clamped to the inner side 401 of the roof 400. There are various ways to adjust the position of the support foot 13 relative to the first bracket 11. For example, in this embodiment, the support foot 13 is threaded to the first bracket 11 via a threaded rod. The position of the support foot 13 can be adjusted by turning the threaded rod, which is simple and convenient. Of course, in other embodiments, the support foot 13 can also be connected to the first bracket 11 via a telescopic rod. The position of the support foot 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod.

[0049] To better accommodate roofs 400 with varying slopes, in one embodiment, the second bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11, and the second bracket 12 can be rotated relative to the first bracket 11 to a preset angle and then fixed. Specifically, after the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is installed, the first bracket 11 is positioned opposite the inner side 401 of the roof 400. The second bracket 12 is rotated relative to the first bracket 11 to a preset angle and then fixed. At this point, the second bracket 12 is approximately parallel to the vertical plane, allowing the indoor air conditioner unit 500 to be stably mounted on the second bracket 12 along the direction of gravity. When the slope of the roof 400 changes, simply rotate the second bracket 12 relative to the first bracket 11 to a suitable position and then fix it, thus ensuring the stable installation of the indoor air conditioner unit 500.

[0050] There are various ways to achieve the second bracket 12 being able to rotate relative to the first bracket 11 to a preset angle and then remain fixed, for example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the second bracket 12 is provided with a plurality of adjustment and fixing positions 121, and an adjustment rod 14 is provided between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. One end of the adjustment rod 14 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11, and the other end can be selectively locked and fixed to one of the adjustment and fixing positions 121.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second bracket 12 is generally vertically arranged. The upper end of the second bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11. Near the bottom of the second bracket 12, multiple adjustment and fixing positions 121 are spaced vertically. One end of the adjustment rod 14 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11, and the other end is locked to one of the adjustment and fixing positions 121. A stable triangular support structure can be formed by the first bracket 11, the adjustment rod 14, and the second bracket 12. When adjustment of the second bracket 12 is required, simply unlock the adjustment rod 14 from the adjustment and fixing position 121, rotate the second bracket 12 relative to the first bracket 11 to a preset position, and then lock the adjustment rod 14 to another adjustment and fixing position 121. Specifically, the adjustment and fixing position 121 can be an adjustment hole on the second bracket 12. The end of the adjustment rod 14 can have an assembly hole that matches the adjustment and fixing hole. Fasteners (such as bolts, pins, etc.) are then passed through the adjustment hole and the assembly hole and locked in place. Alternatively, the adjusting fixing position 121 can also be a latch provided on the second bracket 12, and the end of the adjusting rod 14 can be provided with a locking hook adapted to the latch. Of course, in other embodiments, a locking mechanism can also be provided at the rotatable connection between the second bracket 12 and the first bracket 11. When the second bracket 12 rotates relative to the first bracket 11 to a preset angle, the locking mechanism locks the second bracket 12 and the first bracket 11 to ensure that there is no relative rotation between the second bracket 12 and the first bracket 11.

[0052] To ensure the structural reliability of the indoor unit bracket 10, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first bracket 11 includes two first side brackets 111 arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart, and a first reinforcing rib 112 connected between the two first side brackets 111, each of the first side brackets 111 being provided with the supporting foot 13; the second bracket 12 includes two second side brackets 122 arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart, and a second reinforcing rib 123 connected between the two second side brackets 122, the second side brackets 122 being connected to the first side brackets 111 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second reinforcing rib 123 being provided with a mounting part 1231 for mounting the indoor unit 500 of the air conditioner.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first side bracket 111 is arranged in an inverted "L" shape, and the two first side brackets 111 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart along the horizontal direction (i.e., along the width direction of the window 411). The first reinforcing rib 112 is arranged in a horizontally extending "I" shape, and the end of the first reinforcing rib 112 can be connected and fixed to the corresponding first side bracket 111 by welding or fastener connection. To further ensure the connection strength, the first reinforcing rib 112 can optionally be welded and fixed between the two first side brackets 111. The first side bracket 111 is connected to the middle bracket 30 through the top extension arm 15. The second side bracket 122 is arranged in a vertically extending "I" shape, and the second reinforcing rib 123 is arranged in a horizontally extending "I" shape. The end of the second reinforcing rib 123 can be connected and fixed to the corresponding second side bracket 122 by welding or fastener connection. To further ensure the connection strength, the second reinforcing rib 123 can optionally be welded and fixed between the two second side brackets 122. The second reinforcing rib 123 not only strengthens the structure but also provides a mounting portion 1231 for installing the indoor unit 500, thus providing stable support for the indoor unit 500. For example, the mounting portion 1231 can be a mounting hole on the second reinforcing rib 123, and a hanging part can be provided on the back of the indoor unit 500. The indoor unit 500 can be directly hung into the mounting hole through the hanging part, improving the ease of installation. Optionally, the second reinforcing rib 123 may have at least two mounting portions 1231 spaced apart along its length to further ensure the installation stability of the indoor unit 500.

[0054] To ensure that the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 can adapt to roofs 400 of varying thicknesses, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first bracket 11 includes an extension arm 15 extending toward the intermediate bracket 30. The intermediate bracket 30 includes a connecting arm 32 opposite to the extension arm 15. The extension arm 15 is connected to the connecting arm 32, and the extension arm 15 can be extended and retracted relative to the connecting arm 32 along the thickness direction of the roof 400. Specifically, the thickness of the roof 400 refers to the thickness of one side of the wall to which the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is installed. When the thickness of the roof 400 (wall) changes, it is only necessary to extend and retract the extension arm 15 relative to the connecting arm 32 to a suitable position and then lock it in place to ensure that the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20 can abut against both sides of the roof 400. To ensure the reliability of the connection between the indoor unit bracket 10 and the intermediate bracket 30, optionally, at least two extension arms 15 and two connecting arms 32 are provided, and the extension arms 15 and the connecting arms 32 are connected and fixed in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0055] There are several ways to achieve the telescopic adjustment of the extension arm 15 relative to the connecting arm 32. For example, in this embodiment, both the extension arm 15 and the connecting arm 32 extend along the thickness direction of the roof 400. The extension arm 15 has multiple first adjustment holes spaced apart along its length, and the connecting arm 32 has multiple second adjustment holes spaced apart along its length. After the extension arm 15 is adjusted to a suitable position relative to the connecting arm 32, fasteners are passed through the corresponding first and second adjustment holes and then locked in place. To further ensure connection strength, both the extension arm 15 and the connecting arm 32 are hollow tubular structures, and the extension arm 15 and the connecting arm 32 are inserted into each other. For example, in this embodiment, both the extension arm 15 and the connecting arm 32 are hollow square tubes, and the extension arm 15 can be inserted into the hollow cavity of the connecting arm 32.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the indoor unit bracket 10 includes a first bracket 11 and a second bracket 12. The first bracket 11 includes an extension arm 15 extending toward the intermediate bracket 30. The intermediate bracket 30 includes a connecting arm 32 opposite to the extension arm 15. The extension arm 15 is connected to the connecting arm 32, and the extension arm 15 is telescopically adjustable relative to the connecting arm 32 along the thickness direction of the roof 400 to better accommodate roofs 400 of different thicknesses. The first bracket 11 is disposed opposite to the inner side 401 of the roof 400. The unit 10 is provided with a support foot 13 for abutting against the inner side 401. The support foot 13 can be adjusted relative to the first bracket 11 to move closer to or further away from the inner side 401 to adapt to different slopes of the roof 400. The second bracket 12 is located on the side of the first bracket 11 away from the inner side 401 for mounting the indoor unit 500. The second bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11, and the second bracket 12 can be rotated relative to the first bracket 11 to a preset angle and then fixed to better adapt to different slopes of the roof 400. In this way, the indoor unit bracket 10 can adapt well to changes in the slope and thickness of the roof 400 through its adjustable structure in multiple positions, ensuring that the indoor unit bracket 10 can be stably installed on the inner side of the roof 400 in any installation environment, thereby improving the applicability of the air conditioner mounting bracket 100.

[0057] To facilitate the installation and fixation of the intermediate bracket 30, in one embodiment, the intermediate bracket 30 extends along the width direction of the window 411 and is telescopically adjustable so that both ends of the intermediate bracket 30 can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the window 411. Specifically, during installation, the intermediate bracket 30 is placed inside the window 411, and after telescopic adjustment to a suitable length, both ends of the intermediate bracket 30 are pressed tightly against the two opposite inner walls of the window 411. Installation is simple and convenient, and it is applicable to windows 411 of different widths. Figure 7 As shown, a window frame 412 is usually provided inside the window 411. In order to further ensure the reliability of the installation, the intermediate bracket 30 can be limited and abutted against the outside of the window frame 412. The window frame 412 can further limit the intermediate bracket 30.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the intermediate support 30 includes a main support 31 and a connecting arm 32. The main support 31 includes a support arm 311 extending along the width direction of the window 411, and two adjusting arms 312 respectively telescopically adjustable to both ends of the support arm 311. The connecting arm 32 is connected to the support arm 311, and the indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20 are respectively connected to the connecting arm 32. In this embodiment, the main support 31 includes a support arm 311 and adjusting arms 312 disposed at both ends of the support arm 311. Both adjusting arms 312 can be telescopically adjusted relative to the support arm 311, which can effectively improve the telescopic adjustment range of the intermediate support 30 to better adapt to windows 411 of different widths.

[0059] There are multiple ways to adjust the extension and retraction between the support arm 311 and the adjusting arm 312. For example, in this embodiment, the two ends of the support arm 311 are provided with multiple third adjusting holes spaced apart along the length direction, and each adjusting arm 312 is provided with multiple fourth adjusting holes spaced apart along the length direction. After adjusting the adjusting arm 312 relative to the support arm 311 to a suitable position, the fastener is passed through the corresponding third and fourth adjusting holes and locked in place. To further ensure the connection strength, the support arm 311 and the adjusting arm 312 are plugged into each other. For example, in this embodiment, the support arm 311 is hollow and tubular, and the adjusting arm 312 is inserted into the hollow cavity of the support arm 311. The support arm 311 is also provided with a connecting arm 32, which extends along the thickness direction of the wall. The indoor unit bracket 10 and the outdoor unit bracket 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting arm 32. For example, in this embodiment, the indoor unit bracket 10 has an extension arm 15, and the indoor unit bracket 10 is connected to the connecting arm 32 of the intermediate bracket 30 through the extension arm 15.

[0060] To further ensure the installation reliability of the intermediate support 30, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, each of the adjusting arms 312 has an abutment portion 313 at its end for abutting against the inner wall surface of the window 411, and each abutment portion 313 has a through hole 314 for fasteners to pass through. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting arm 312 is arranged in an "L" shape. The long arm of the adjusting arm 312 is used to connect with the support arm 311, and the short arm of the adjusting arm 312 is used to form the abutment portion 313. When the adjusting arm 312 is adjusted to a suitable position relative to the support arm 311, it is pressed against the inner wall surface of the window 411 through the abutment portion 313. Fasteners (such as screws) can also be passed through the through hole 314 and connected to the inner wall surface of the window 411 for reinforcement, thereby ensuring that the intermediate bracket 30 can be installed more stably in the window 411, so as to further improve the installation stability of the entire air conditioner mounting bracket 100.

[0061] There are various specific structures for the outdoor unit bracket 20. To ensure the installation reliability of the outdoor unit bracket 20, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the outdoor unit bracket 20 includes a bracket body 21 and a top wall bracket 22 connected to the bracket body 21. The bracket body 21 is connected to the intermediate bracket 30, and the top wall bracket 22 is used to abut against the outer side 402 of the roof 400, so that the bracket body 21 is kept in a horizontal state for supporting the air conditioner outdoor unit 600. Specifically, when the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is installed on the roof 400, the outdoor unit bracket 20 is located on the outside of the roof 400. At this time, the bracket body 21 is generally horizontal, and the top wall bracket 22 is inclined relative to the bracket body 21 and is generally perpendicular to the outer side 402 of the roof 400. The top end of the top wall bracket 22 is connected to the bracket body 21, and the bottom end of the top wall bracket 22 abuts against the outer side 402 of the roof 400, so that the bracket body 21, the top wall bracket 22 and the outer side 402 of the roof 400 form a stable triangular support structure. Then, the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner can be installed on the bracket body 21. The top wall bracket 22 and the bracket body 21 can provide stable support for the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner.

[0062] To enable the outdoor unit bracket 20 to adapt to roofs 400 with varying slopes, in one embodiment, the bracket body 21 is rotatably connected to the intermediate bracket 30. When the slope of the roof 400 (i.e., the inclination angle of the outer surface 402 of the roof 400) changes, the bracket body 21 can be rotated relative to the intermediate bracket 30 to a suitable position to ensure that the bracket body 21 is in a horizontal or substantially horizontal state, thereby achieving stable support for the air conditioner outdoor unit 600. Further, as... Figure 2As shown, the bracket body 21 is equipped with a level 214, which allows the user to more accurately adjust the bracket body 21 to a horizontal position. Specifically, the level 214 can be a water droplet level 214. For ease of observation, the level 214 is installed on the side of the bracket body 21 near the window 411.

[0063] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the roof support 22 includes a support leg 221 and a base 222. One end of the support leg 221 is connected to the support body 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the base 222. The base 222 is used to abut against the outer side 402 of the roof 400. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support leg 221 is substantially perpendicular to the outer side 402 of the roof 400. The upper end of the support leg 221 is connected to the support body 21, and the lower end of the support leg 221 is rotatably connected to the base 222. When the slope of the roof 400 changes, the base 222 can rotate relative to the support leg 221 for adaptive adjustment, thereby ensuring that the base 222 is always in close contact with the outer side 402 of the roof 400, thus better adapting to roofs 400 with different slopes. Optionally, the side of the foot 222 that abuts against the outer side 402 of the roof 400 is provided with an anti-slip pad (such as a rubber pad, silicone pad, etc.), which can increase the frictional resistance between the foot 222 and the roof 400 and play an anti-slip role; in addition, it can also play a certain role in cushioning and shock absorption.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket body 21 extends from the side near the window 411 towards the outside of the roof 400. In the extending direction of the bracket body 21, the connection position of the top wall bracket 22 relative to the bracket body 21 is adjustable. When the slope of the roof 400 changes, the top wall bracket 22 can be adjusted relative to the bracket body 21 to a suitable position so that the top wall bracket 22 can maintain a contact state with the outer side 402 of the roof 400, thereby enabling the outdoor unit bracket 20 to better adapt to roofs 400 with different slopes. Specifically, as... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket body 21 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 2114 spaced apart in its extending direction, and the top of the support leg 221 of the top wall bracket 22 is provided with an assembly hole that matches the connecting hole 2114. After the top wall bracket 22 is adjusted to a suitable position along the extending direction of the bracket body 21, it can be locked and fixed by fasteners (such as bolts, pins, etc.) passing through the corresponding connecting hole 2114 and assembly hole.

[0065] In order to better adapt to roofs 400 with different slopes, in a preferred embodiment, the outdoor unit bracket 20 includes a bracket body 21 and a top wall bracket 22 connected to the bracket body 21. The bracket body 21 is rotatably connected to the intermediate bracket 30. The top wall bracket 22 includes a support leg 221 and a base 222. One end of the support leg 221 is connected to the bracket body 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the base 222. The base 222 is used to abut against the outer side 402 of the roof 400. The connection position of the support leg 221 relative to the bracket body 21 is adjustable. In this embodiment, the bracket body 21 is rotatably connected to the intermediate bracket 30 via a pivot, allowing it to adapt to roofs 400 with different slopes. Simultaneously, the support legs 221 can adjust their connection position relative to the bracket body 21 according to the varying support distances caused by different slopes. Furthermore, the base feet 222 at the bottom of the support legs 221 can rotate to support different slopes for adaptive adjustment. Thus, the outdoor unit bracket 20, through its multi-position adjustable structure, can effectively adapt to roofs 400 with different slopes, ensuring that the outdoor unit bracket 20 can be stably installed on the outside of the roof 400. In addition, the bracket body 21 is equipped with a level 214, allowing the user to make precise adjustments during the adjustment process.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the outdoor unit 600, in one embodiment, the bracket body 21 includes a support frame 211 and a side frame 212. The support frame 211 is connected to the intermediate bracket 30. The side frame 212 and the top wall bracket 22 are respectively located on opposite sides of the support frame 211. The side frame 212 and the support frame 211 enclose each other to form an installation cavity 213 for accommodating the outdoor unit 600. The side frame 212 near the intermediate bracket 30 has an installation opening that communicates with the installation cavity 213.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame 211 can be formed into a grid-like structure by welding or splicing multiple intersecting horizontal and vertical beams. The side frame 212 is U-shaped, opening towards the window 411, and surrounds the support frame 211. The opening of the side frame 212 is the installation port. After the air conditioner mounting bracket 100 is installed, the support frame 211 is generally horizontal. At this time, the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner only needs to be pushed into the preset position of the mounting cavity 213 from the installation port, which is simple and convenient. When it is necessary to disassemble the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner, it can be removed from the installation port, which can effectively improve the convenience of installation and disassembly of the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner. In addition, the side frame 212 can also provide a certain degree of safety protection for the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, to enable the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner to be quickly and accurately installed in the preset position, the support frame 211 and / or the side frame 212 are further provided with a guide portion 2111. The guide portion 2111 extends from the installation opening toward the side away from the window 411. The guide portion 2111 is used to cooperate with the guide mating portion of the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner to guide the outdoor unit 600 to the preset position. Specifically, when installing the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner, the outdoor unit 600 is pushed from the window 411 toward the installation opening. The guide portion 2111 is aligned with the guide mating portion of the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner, and then the outdoor unit 600 is pushed further forward. Under the guidance of the guide portion 2111, the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner can move along the guide portion 2111 to the preset position. For example, in this embodiment, the guide mating portion is a guide groove recessed at the bottom of the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner, and correspondingly, the guide portion 2111 is a guide strip protruding from the top surface of the support frame 211. Of course, in other embodiments, a guide mating part may be provided on the side of the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner, and correspondingly, a guide part 2111 corresponding to the guide mating part may be provided on the side frame 212.

[0069] Furthermore, the guide portion 2111 has a limiting portion 2112 at its end away from the mounting opening to stop the outdoor unit 600. When installing the outdoor unit 600, the user pushes it along the guide portion 2111 towards the side away from the mounting opening. When the outdoor unit 600 comes into contact with the limiting portion 2112, it indicates that the outdoor unit 600 has been installed correctly. The limiting portion 2112 stops and limits the outdoor unit 600, further ensuring that it can be installed quickly and efficiently.

[0070] To further ensure the installation reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 and the outdoor unit bracket 20, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket body 21 is provided with a fixing part 2113, which is used to cooperate with the assembly part of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 to fix the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 to the bracket body 21. For example, in this embodiment, the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is provided with an assembly part near the mounting port, and the assembly part is provided with an assembly hole. Correspondingly, the fixing part 2113 can be a fixing hole provided on the support frame 211. When the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is installed in place, the fixing hole corresponds to the assembly hole of the assembly part, and then it can be locked and fixed by fasteners, which can ensure that the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is firmly locked on the outdoor unit bracket 20.
