[0029] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides an upper bracket for fixing a vehicle air conditioner in the front cabin of a vehicle, which includes a first bracket 11, a second bracket 12 and a connecting pipe 13. The first bracket 11 is installed on one side of the upper end of the air conditioner body 2 in the Y-axis direction of the vehicle body. The second bracket 12 is arranged on the other side of the upper end of the air conditioner body 2 in the Y-axis direction of the vehicle body away from the first bracket 11; and the two ends of the connecting pipe 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. Please refer to Figure 2 The air-conditioning box body 2 is arranged along the X-axis direction of the vehicle body and the front wall sheet metal 3 of the vehicle body is penetrated. The upper end surface of the side of the front wall sheet metal 3 facing the front cabin of the car is the installation surface 31. The first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the air-conditioning box body 2 and the installation surface 31 of the front wall sheet metal 3 respectively. Therefore, the two sides of the upper end of the air-conditioning box body 2 in the Y-axis direction can be fixedly installed with the front wall sheet metal 3 respectively. Since the main structure of most air-conditioning boxes is arranged in the front cabin at present, the upper end of the air-conditioning box body 2 is fixed on the installation surface 31, that is, the upper end surface of the side of the front wall sheet metal 3 facing the front cabin of the car, so that the installation is more stable.

[0030] In one embodiment of the utility model, the first bracket 11 is an L-shaped bracket, including a first section 112 and a second section 113; the first section 112 is connected to the upper end of the air conditioning box body 2, and the second section 113 is connected to the mounting surface 31 of the front wall sheet metal 3. The first bracket 11 is provided with a first flange 111 connecting the first section 112 and the second section 113 on one side close to the second bracket 12, and the first flange 111 is fixedly connected to an axial end of the connecting pipe 13. The angle between the first section 112 and the second section 113 of the first bracket 11 is α, and the angle between the upper end surface of the air conditioning box body 2 where the first section 112 and the second section 113 are installed and the mounting surface 31 of the front wall sheet metal 3 is α1, then α changes with the change of α1, so that the shape of the first bracket 11 is determined according to the situation of its installation location, that is, the so-called "determined by the shape".

[0031] The second bracket 12 is an L-shaped bracket, including a third section 122 and a fourth section 123. The third section 122 is connected to the upper end of the air conditioning box body 2, and the fourth section 123 is connected to the mounting surface 31 of the front wall sheet metal 3. The second bracket 12 is provided with a second flange 121 connecting the third section 122 and the fourth section 123 on the side close to the first bracket 11. The second flange 121 is fixedly connected to the other axial end of the connecting pipe 13 away from the first bracket 11. The angle between the third section 122 and the fourth section 123 of the second bracket 12 is β, and the angle between the upper end surface of the air conditioning box body 2 where the third section 122 and the fourth section 123 are installed and the mounting surface 31 of the front wall sheet metal 3 is β1, then β changes with the change of β1, so that the shape of the second bracket 12 is determined according to the situation of its installation location, which is also the above-mentioned "determined by shape". The "tailor-made" design of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 further ensures the installation stability of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12, so that the first section 112 and the second section 113 of the first bracket 11 and the upper end surface of the air-conditioning box body 2 and the installation surface 31 of the front panel sheet metal 3 at the corresponding installation location are relatively fitted, and the third section 122 and the fourth section 123 of the second bracket 12 and the upper end surface of the air-conditioning box body 2 and the installation surface 31 of the front panel sheet metal 3 at the corresponding installation location are relatively fitted; the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are relatively stable, ensuring that the upper end of the automobile air-conditioning box is relatively fixed and stable.

[0032] The connecting pipe 13 is a metal round pipe, and the axial direction of the connecting pipe 13 is parallel to the Y-axis direction of the vehicle body, which can further ensure that the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are installed and fixed at the same horizontal position, and can prevent the deformation of the air conditioning box body 2 when the vehicle body is bumped and vibrated.

[0033] Therefore, the utility model is a kind of upper bracket for fixing the vehicle air-conditioning box in the front cabin of the vehicle, wherein the first section 112 of the first bracket 11 and the upper end of the air-conditioning box body 2 are fixedly connected by a pair of first bolts 41, the third section 122 of the second bracket 12 (or the second flange 121 corresponding to the third section 122) and the upper end of the air-conditioning box body 2 are fixedly connected by a pair of second bolts 42, and the second section 113 of the first bracket 11 and the fourth section 123 of the second bracket 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting surface 31 of the front panel 3 by a pair of third bolts 43, so that the upper end of the air-conditioning box body 2 is fixed in the front cabin of the vehicle, and at this time, only the lower end of the air-conditioning box body 2 and the corresponding vehicle floor need to be fixedly connected by bolts to complete the installation of the vehicle air-conditioning box. The upper end of the air-conditioning box is stable, and the operation is convenient and quick.

[0034] The above-mentioned fixed connection method through a pair of first bolts 41, a pair of second bolts 42 and a pair of third bolts 43 can also be welding, riveting or other connection methods, as long as fixed connection is achieved.
