[0034] Currently, when some houses are built, a platform is additionally provided on the outer wall adjacent to the window so that users can send the outdoor unit of the air conditioner out of the window to the platform. However, some houses do not have such a platform, which causes inconvenience to users in installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. For this reason, the present utility model proposes a mounting bracket aimed at facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting bracket 100 includes a connecting structure 200, a load-bearing frame 300, and a carrying frame 400. The connecting structure 200 is used to connect to the installation medium 500. The load-bearing frame 300 is connected to the connecting structure 200. The carrying frame 400 is connected to the load-bearing frame 300. The carrying frame 400 has a receiving cavity 410 and an opening 420 communicating with the receiving cavity 410. The opening 420 is used for the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner to be placed into the receiving cavity 410. In this way, the user can connect the connecting structure 200 to the installation medium 500 to complete the connection between the mounting bracket 100 and the installation medium 500, which enables the carrying frame 400 to provide a carrying position for the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner. It should be noted that the installation medium 500 can be but is not limited to being configured as components such as the wall of a house or the railing of a house, as long as the installation medium 500 can provide support for the mounting bracket 100. In this way, the user can place the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner into the receiving cavity 410 through the opening 420, so that the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner is installed on the house. In addition, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 410 also provides a limit for the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner, which is beneficial to stably installing the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner on the house.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that currently, whether domestic users or foreign users, after purchasing a split air conditioner, they generally choose professional personnel to install it on-site. However, according to market research, after European users purchase an air conditioner, the installer does not contact the user as soon as possible and install it on-site in a timely manner like in China. Generally, the cycle is relatively long, usually taking half a month or even a month for an installer to come and provide air conditioner installation services. At the same time, the labor cost in Europe is very high, and the air conditioner installation may cost an additional 150 euros, which is more than 1000 yuan in RMB. The installation cost is very expensive compared to that in China. For users, both the efficiency and the cost are very high. Therefore, optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting structure 200 is provided with a hanging channel 700 for hanging on the installation medium 500 along the first direction. The hanging channel 700 includes a bottom wall 720 whose orientation is parallel to the first direction, and a first side 710 connecting one side of the bottom wall 720 in the width direction of the hanging channel 700. The first side 710 is also connected to the load-bearing frame 300, and the carrying frame 400 is disposed on the side of the load-bearing frame away from the hanging channel 700. It can be understood that the hanging method is simple and convenient, facilitating the user to install the mounting bracket 100 on the installation medium 500. Without loss of generality, taking the installation medium 500 as a wall as an example, the wall is provided with a window, and the connecting structure 200 can be hung on the window through the hanging channel 700. Moreover, since the carrying frame 400 is disposed on the side of the load-bearing frame away from the hanging channel 700, the interference between the carrying frame 400 and the wall surface of the wall can be reduced. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the structural form of the mounting bracket 100 can also be other as long as it can connect the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner to the installation medium 500.

[0037] Optionally, in one embodiment, in the width direction of the hanging channel 700, the carrying frame 400 has a third side close to the hanging channel 700 and a fourth side far from the hanging channel 700. The third side is provided with an air outlet avoidance opening 440, and / or the fourth side is provided with the air inlet avoidance opening 430.

[0038] Without loss of generality, taking the installation medium 500 configured as a wall as an example, in this way, the air inlet avoidance opening 430 is farther away from the wall surface where the installation medium 500 is located, so that more air flows through the air inlet avoidance opening 430, which is beneficial to increasing the air intake of the outdoor unit 600 of the air conditioner. In addition, without loss of generality, such as Figure 2Taking the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 as an example, the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 includes a housing and a fan disposed inside the housing. The housing is arranged in a cuboid shape, and the fan has a rotating shaft extending along the width direction of the housing, which enables the housing to be provided with an air inlet area and an air outlet area on both sides in the width direction of the housing. In this way, the user can place the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 into the receiving cavity 410 so that the width direction of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is parallel to the width direction of the hanging channel 700, so that one side of the housing provided with the air inlet area is opposite to the fourth side, and one side of the housing provided with the air outlet area is opposite to the third side. In this way, on the one hand, the center of gravity of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is relatively close to the wall surface, which is beneficial to reducing the torque on the connecting structure 200 and making the safety performance of the mounting bracket 100 relatively high. On the other hand, the air inlet area is relatively far from the wall surface, so that air flow with relatively high fluidity can enter the air inlet area. In addition, the third side is provided with an air outlet avoidance opening 440, which is beneficial to increasing the air output of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600.

[0039] In addition, the orientation of the cavity opening 420 is parallel to the first direction. Without generality, taking the installation medium 500 configured as a wall as an example, the wall is provided with a window. In this way, it is convenient for the user to send the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 out of the window and then make the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 face the cavity opening 420, so as to facilitate the user to send the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 into the receiving cavity 410. In this way, the user can install the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 without hiring a professional at extra cost, which is beneficial to saving the user's expenses. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the connecting structure 200 is locked to the installation medium 500 by screws; or, the orientation of the cavity opening 420 intersects with the first direction.

[0040] Optionally, in one embodiment, the bearing frame 400 is provided with an air inlet avoidance opening 430 communicating with the receiving cavity 410. In this way, after the user places the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 into the receiving cavity 410, the air inlet of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 can be opposite to the air inlet avoidance opening 430. In this way, it is beneficial to increasing the air intake of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600.

[0041] Optionally, in one embodiment, the air inlet avoidance opening 430 is provided in a notch shape, and the air inlet avoidance opening 430 is provided at the periphery of the cavity opening 420. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air inlet avoidance notch is provided in a hole shape.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment, the edge of the air inlet avoidance opening 430 is provided in an arc shape. In this way, it can better adapt to the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 with a circular air inlet area. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, for the shape of the edge of the air inlet avoidance opening 430, it can also be designed according to the shape of the air inlet area of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600, and details are not elaborated here.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment, the carrier frame 400 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 450 communicating with the receiving cavity 410. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the weight of the carrier frame 400 and reduce the burden on the load-bearing frame 300, thereby reducing the risk of the load-bearing frame 300 breaking.

[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment, the load-bearing frame 300 includes a main frame body 310 connecting to the connecting structure 200 and an adjusting frame 320 connected to the main frame body 310. The carrier frame 400 is disposed on the adjusting frame 320. In the first direction, one of the adjusting frame 320 and the main frame body 310 is provided with a plurality of adjusting positions for the other to selectively install, so as to adjust the distance between the carrier frame 400 and the connecting structure 200. Without loss of generality, the case where the adjusting frame 320 is provided with adjusting positions is taken as an example for introduction here. In this way, for the environment where the installation medium 500 is located with a relatively high air flow intensity, the user can select an adjusting position farther from the connecting structure 200 for the main frame body 310 to install, so that the distance between the carrier frame 400 and the connecting structure 200 is relatively close. For the convenience of description, a first whole including the installation bracket 100 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is defined. In this way, the distance between the center of gravity of the first whole and the connecting structure 200 is shortened, weakening the influence of the air flow on the first whole, thereby improving the connection stability between the connecting structure 200 and the installation medium 500. If the main frame body 310 is provided with adjusting positions as an example, the user can select an adjusting position closer to the connecting structure 200 for the adjusting frame 320 to install, so that the distance between the carrier frame 400 and the connecting structure 200 is relatively close. It should be particularly noted that the "plurality" mentioned in this article means at least two.

[0045] Optionally, in one embodiment, the adjusting frame 320 is provided with a stopping structure 330. The carrier frame 400 includes a sliding portion 460 slidably installed on the adjusting frame 320. The sliding portion 460 is disposed between the stopping structure 330 and the connecting structure 200, and the sliding portion 460 can abut against the stopping structure 330 along the first direction. In this way, the installation of the sliding portion 460 and the adjusting frame 320 is simple and convenient, and the sliding portion 460 can stably abut against the stopping structure 330 by relying on the gravity of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the carrier frame 400 is screwed to the adjusting frame 320.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment, adjacent two adjusting positions are spaced apart. In this way, the plurality of adjusting positions are discontinuously arranged, so that the load-bearing frame 300 realizes gear adjustment, which is beneficial to saving the manufacturing cost of the installation bracket 100. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, adjacent two adjusting positions are connected. In this way, the plurality of adjusting positions are continuously arranged as a whole, so that the load-bearing frame 300 realizes stepless adjustment.

[0047] Optionally, in an embodiment, the adjusting frame 320 is provided with a first guiding groove slidably engaged with the main frame body 310, and the first guiding groove extends along a first direction. Thus, the user can make the adjusting frame 320 and the main frame body 310 slide relative to each other through the first guiding groove. Without loss of generality, taking the example that the adjusting frame 320 is provided with adjusting positions for illustration, it can be understood that the main frame body 310 is correspondingly provided with a first mounting position for selectively mounting at the adjusting positions. During the relative sliding of the main frame body 310 and the adjusting frame 320, the first mounting position can pass through all the adjusting positions, and the user can make the first mounting position stay at the adjusting position required by the user, so as to facilitate the user to mount the main frame body 310 at this adjusting position. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the alignment time between the first mounting position and the adjusting position to be mounted. In some other embodiments, it can also be that the main frame body 310 is provided with a first guiding groove slidably engaged with the adjusting frame 320, and the first guiding groove extends along the first direction.

[0048] The present utility model further provides an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner outdoor unit 600 and the aforementioned mounting bracket 100. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated herein one by one. Among them, the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 is placed in the receiving cavity 410.

[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment, the air conditioner further includes an air conditioner indoor unit and a flexible connection component. The flexible connection component is respectively connected to the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 600. This air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that is convenient for users to install personally. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor-side heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor-side heat exchanger of the air conditioner outdoor unit 600, and injects refrigerant into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. Thus, when the user installs the equipment by himself / herself, only the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 600 need to be fixed respectively, and there is no need to assemble the refrigerant pipes and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by the user.

[0050] Optionally, in an embodiment, the compressor of the air conditioner is arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit. In this way, the weight that the mounting bracket needs to bear can be reduced, and further the risk of the mounting bracket falling can be reduced. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the compressor of the air conditioner is arranged in the air conditioner outdoor unit 600.

[0051] Furthermore, in an embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit is further provided with a noise reduction structure for reducing the noise of the compressor. In this way, the user experience indoors can be improved.

[0052] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
