This installation method requires the user to hold the outdoor unit of the air conditioner for a long time, which is laborious and not very convenient.

[0049] In view of this, the present utility model provides an installation bracket for installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, which can improve the installation convenience of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0050] Specifically, the air conditioner of the present utility model can be a split air conditioner that facilitates personal installation by users. It uses a flexible refrigerant pipe to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the equipment by himself / herself, only the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner need to be fixed respectively, without the need to assemble the refrigerant pipe and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by the user. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present utility model can also be an ordinary split air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner, such as a window air conditioner integrated machine. At this time, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outdoor side.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in the first embodiment of the present utility model, the installation bracket 101 includes:

[0052] The main bracket 10 includes a window mounting bracket 11, a limit bracket 14 and a load-bearing bracket 12. The window mounting bracket 11 can be installed on the window frame. One end of the load-bearing bracket 12 is connected to the window mounting bracket 11 and extends to the outside of the window along the first direction and is connected to the limit bracket 14; and

[0053] The mounting member 13 is movably connected to the load-bearing bracket 12 and has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the mounting member 13 avoids the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102, so that the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 can be placed on the load-bearing bracket 12 from top to bottom and moved to a fixed position along the first direction;

[0054] One end of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 in a fixed position is connected to the limiting bracket 14 in a limiting manner, and the other end is connected to the mounting member 13 switched to the second state.

[0055] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the inner side of the window is defined as the rear, and the outer side of the window is defined as the front, then the front-to-back direction is the first direction, the upper side of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is the top, and the lower side of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is the bottom.

[0056] Optionally, the limit bracket 14 is arranged at one end of the load-bearing bracket 12 away from the window bracket 11, and the mounting member 13 is arranged at one end of the load-bearing bracket 12 close to the window bracket 11, then the limit bracket 14, the mounting member 13 and the load-bearing bracket 12 jointly define an installation space for accommodating the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102. The air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is first placed in the installation space from top to bottom, at which time the mounting member 13 is in a first state to avoid the placement of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102, and then the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is pushed forward to a fixed position, that is, after being pushed to a fixed position in a direction away from the window 103, the front end of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is connected to the limit bracket 14, and then the mounting member 13 is adjusted to a second state so as to be connected to the rear end of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102.

[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 may be placed in the installation space from top to bottom first, and then pulled backward to a fixed position, that is, after being pulled toward the direction close to the window 103 to a fixed position, the front end of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is connected to the limiting bracket 14.

[0058] The technical solution of the utility model allows the user to first place the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 on the load-bearing bracket 12 at will, so as to achieve the effect of labor saving by virtue of the supporting function of the load-bearing bracket 12, and then push or pull the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 along the first direction, so that the two ends of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 can be respectively connected with the limit bracket 14 and the mounting member 13, so as to well limit the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 in a fixed position, that is, to complete the installation and fixation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102. In this way, by cooperating with the limit bracket 14 and the mounting member 13, the installation operation mode of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is changed, so that the effect of labor saving can be achieved by virtue of the supporting function of the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby improving the problem of laborious installation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 and improving the convenience of installation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102.

[0059] In order to further improve the problem that it is laborious to install the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner, in the embodiments of the present utility model, optionally, the compressor of the air conditioner is arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to reduce the weight of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner, thereby facilitating the user to carry and install the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner. Further, in order to reduce the interference of the working noise of the compressor on the indoor space, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is provided with a noise reduction structure corresponding to the compressor, for example, a noise reduction rubber pad is provided on the mounting feet of the compressor, or a sound insulation cotton is provided around the outer peripheral surface of the compressor, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor may also be arranged in the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in the first and second embodiments, further, the side surface of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner is provided with fastening holes 33, and the mounting member 13 is provided with mounting holes 131 corresponding to the fastening holes 33, and the mounting holes 131 are installed in the fastening holes 33 through fasteners. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting member 13 may also be provided with a clamping structure that can be clamped on the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner when the mounting member 13 is switched to the second state.

[0061] In the first and second embodiments, optionally, the fastener is a hand-tightening bolt 15, and the threaded column of the hand-tightening bolt 15 can pass through the mounting hole 131 and be screwed into the fastening hole 33. In this way, the user can install the hand-tightening bolt 15 on the fastening hole 33 without the aid of tools such as a screwdriver to fix the installation of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner. This operation is more convenient, thereby improving the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the fastener may also be an ordinary bolt or rivet, etc.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , in the first and second embodiments, further, the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a pre-installation hole 122, and the hand-tightening bolt 15 can be screwed into either the pre-installation hole 122 or the fastening hole 33. In this way, when the hand-tightening bolt 15 is out of the factory or not in use, it can be pre-locked on the pre-installation hole 122 of the mounting bracket 101, which can effectively prevent the loss of the hand-tightening bolt 15 and is convenient for the user to take and use. When it is necessary to use the hand-tightening bolt 15 to lock the mounting member 13 to the fastening hole 33, only need to unscrew the hand-tightening bolt 15 from the pre-installation hole 122, then pass the hand-tightening bolt 15 through the mounting hole 131 and screw it into the fastening hole 33. In this way, the operation is more convenient and the user experience can be improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the pre-installation hole 122 may not be provided, or the pre-installation hole 122 may be provided at other positions, such as on the window mounting bracket 11.

[0063] It should be noted that Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the structure of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, and both the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are shown in the positions after the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 is installed in place, so as to make the assembly relationship between the mounting bracket 101 and the two clearer. Among them, taking Figure 1 and Figure 2 as an example, the rightmost one of the two mounting members 13 is shown in the second state, and the leftmost one is shown in the first state; correspondingly, the rightmost one of the two hand-tightening bolts 15 is shown as being locked to the fastening hole 33, and the leftmost one is shown as being locked to the pre-installed hole 122, so as to make the assembly relationship between the mounting member 13 and the second bracket 30 clearer. It can be understood that in actual application, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 is moved in place, both of the two mounting members 13 are adjusted to the second state to be connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit 102, thereby improving the installation reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102.

[0064] Similarly, Figure 11 in the embodiment shown, both of the two mounting members 13 are shown in the first state, the hand-tightening bolts 15 are all shown as being locked to the pre-installed holes 122, and the structures of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are not shown.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , in the first and second embodiments, optionally, the head of the hand-tightening bolt 15 in the pre-installed hole 122 is provided on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12 and can be covered by the mounting member 13 in the first state. In this way, it is convenient for the user to obtain and unscrew the hand-tightening bolt 15, and the structure of the mounting bracket 101 can be made more compact. Of course, in other embodiments, the hand-tightening bolt 15 can also be provided on the side of the mounting member 13.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7, in the first and second embodiments, optionally, the mounting member 13 is configured as a mounting plate and is rotatably provided on the upper side surface of the load-bearing bracket 12. In the first state, the plate surface of the mounting member 13 is parallel to the first direction; in the second state, the plate surface of the mounting member 13 is orthogonal to the first direction and is disposed opposite to the fastening hole 33. Specifically, before the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 is installed, the mounting plate can be rotated to the first state to reduce the interference of the mounting plate on the operation of placing the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 into the placement space. After the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 is placed, the mounting plate is then rotated to the second state and the mounting hole 131 is aligned with the fastening hole 33. In this way, it is beneficial to the placement operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 and can improve the installation convenience of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting plate can also be slidably provided on the load-bearing bracket 12 along the first direction to approach or move away from the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 at a fixed position.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in the first and second embodiments, optionally, the mounting hole 131 is configured as an elongated hole. In the first state, the extending direction of the mounting hole 131 is parallel to the first direction. That is, when the mounting plate is in the second state, the extending direction of the mounting hole 131 is the up-down direction, which can facilitate the alignment of the fastening hole 33 with the mounting hole 131 in the up-down direction, thereby improving the installation convenience of the mounting bracket 101 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting hole 131 can also be provided as a round hole or a polygonal hole.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 , in the first and second embodiments, further, the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 is provided with a second bracket 30 corresponding to the mounting member 13. The second bracket 30 includes a connected mounting portion 31 and a fastening portion 32. The mounting portion 31 is provided on the side surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102, and the fastening portion 32 is provided with a fastening hole 33 and is spaced apart from the side surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102. In this way, the space between the fastening portion and the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 can be used to accommodate the tail of the hand-tightening bolt 15, thereby allowing the hand-tightening bolt 15 to be tightened on the fastening hole 33 without interfering with the air conditioner outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, the second bracket 30 can also not be added, and the fastening hole 33 can be directly opened on the side surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the first and second embodiments, further, the limiting bracket 14 is arranged at one end of the load-bearing bracket 12 away from the window bracket 11, and includes a stopper 141 and a clamping part 142 connected to each other, the stopper 141 protrudes from the upper surface of the load-bearing bracket 12, and can abut against the side of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 away from the window bracket 11; the clamping part 142 clamps the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102. In this way, when the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is pushed outward (i.e. forward) on the load-bearing bracket 12, it can be limited by the stopping part 141 to avoid the problem of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 being pushed outward excessively and falling; at the same time, it can be clamped by the clamping part 142 to fix the front end of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102, thereby improving the installation convenience of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting bracket 14 can also adopt other structural forms, such as only setting the stopping part 141 without setting the clamping part 142.

[0070] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 In the first and second embodiments, further, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is provided with a first bracket 20 corresponding to the clamping portion 142. In the process of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 moving to a fixed position along the first direction on the load-bearing bracket 12, the clamping portion 142 at least partially moves to the top of the first bracket 20 and abuts against the upper surface of the first bracket 20. That is, after the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is placed on the load-bearing bracket 12, a push forward can make the first bracket 20 inserted into the lower side of the clamping portion 142, thereby limiting the front end of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 to avoid the problem of its tilting. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to assemble, and no tools such as screwdrivers are required. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting bracket 14 can also adopt other structural forms, for example, the limiting bracket 14 is provided with a latch protruding along the first direction, and the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 is correspondingly provided with a pin hole, so that when the air-conditioning outdoor unit 102 moves to a fixed position along the first direction, the pin hole can be sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the latch.

[0071] It is understandable that the windows 103 of different users are different, which may cause the mounting bracket 101 to be unable to adapt to the width of the window edge of different sizes, and cause safety hazards to the air conditioner outdoor unit 102. Therefore, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In the first and second embodiments, further, the mounting bracket 101 also includes a supporting bracket 40, which is connected to the load-bearing bracket 12 and can adjust the connection position along the first direction to abut against the outer wall and / or the window edge.

[0072] Specifically, since the support bracket 40 can adjust its installation position on the main bracket 10 in the first direction, the abutting end surface of the support bracket 40 for abutting against the outer wall surface and / or the window ledge is adjustable relative to the window mounting bracket 11. That is, the distance between the abutting end surface of the support bracket 40 and the window mounting bracket 11 is adjustable, and this adjustable distance can adapt to window ledges of different width dimensions. In this way, it is convenient for the user to adjust the installation position of the support bracket 40 on the main bracket 10 so that the support bracket 40 can abut well against the outer wall surface and / or the window ledge, and the mounting bracket 101 can be well adapted to different window ledge widths.

[0073] It can be understood that there are various structural forms for realizing that the support bracket 40 can adjust its connection position in the first direction. For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 . In the first and second embodiments, further, a first installation groove 121 extending in the first direction is provided on the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 12, and the upper end of the support bracket 40 is slidably disposed in the first installation groove 121, and the lower end abuts against the outer wall surface and / or the window ledge. In this way, it is convenient to adjust the installation position of the support bracket 40 on the main bracket 10, and the groove side wall of the first installation groove 121 can play a role in restricting the displacement of the support bracket 40 in the left-right direction, thereby improving the structural stability of the mounting bracket 101.

[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that guide rails are provided on the left side surface and / or the right side surface of the load-bearing bracket 12, and guide grooves corresponding to the guide rails are provided on the support bracket 40, and the guide rails are slidably disposed in the guide grooves.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 . In the first embodiment, further, a plurality of limiting positions 125 are provided on the inner surface of the first installation groove 121 at intervals in the first direction, and an elastic deformation limiting member 50 is provided at the upper end of the support bracket 40, and the limiting member 50 can be selectively clamped and installed with the plurality of limiting positions 125. In this embodiment, on the one hand, through the cooperation of the limiting member 50 and the limiting positions 125, it is convenient to adjust the position of the support bracket 40 on the load-bearing bracket 12. On the other hand, the limiting positions 125 are directly formed by the groove wall of the first installation groove 121, and no hole is drilled in the groove wall of the first installation groove 121. Therefore, the problem that the structural strength of the first installation groove 121 becomes weak due to the opening structure can be avoided, and further the structural strength of the load-bearing bracket 12 and the main bracket 10 can be improved, which is beneficial to the installation reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102.

[0076] Specifically, the limiting clamping position 125 can be provided on the groove side wall or the groove bottom wall of the first installation groove 121, or the limiting clamping positions 125 are provided on both the groove side wall and the groove bottom wall. Please refer to Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, limiting clamping positions 125 are provided on both groove side walls of the first installation groove 121.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , in the first embodiment, further, a plurality of limiting ribs 124 are convexly provided on the groove side surface of the first installation groove 121 and are distributed at intervals along the first direction, and a limiting clamping position 125 is formed by the interval between two adjacent limiting ribs 124. That is, the limiting ribs 124 are convexly formed on the groove side surface of the first installation groove 121. In this way, it is possible to avoid having a convex structure on the outer surface of the load-bearing bracket 12, which can not only improve its aesthetics but also avoid the convex structure occupying more storage and logistics space. Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that a limiting groove is concavely formed on the groove side surface of the first installation groove 121, and the limiting groove is the limiting clamping position 125. At this time, a convex structure will be formed on the outer surface of the load-bearing bracket 12 corresponding to the limiting groove.

[0078] In the first embodiment, optionally, the load-bearing bracket 12 is integrally stamped to form the limiting ribs 124. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement, and the manufacturing production cost of the load-bearing bracket 12 can be reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting ribs 124 and the load-bearing bracket 12 may also be separately provided, and the limiting ribs 124 are fixed to the load-bearing bracket 12 by welding; it may also be that the load-bearing bracket 12 is machined, and the limiting ribs 124 are reflected when the first installation groove 121 is formed, or the load-bearing bracket 12 is formed by die-casting to form the first installation groove 121 and the limiting ribs 124.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 , in the first embodiment, further, the support bracket 40 is provided with a second installation groove 41 and a first through hole 43 communicating with the second installation groove 41 and provided corresponding to the limiting clamping position 125. The limiting member 50 is disposed in the second installation groove 41, and a first convex 51 is provided corresponding to the first through hole 43. The portion of the first convex 51 extending out of the first through hole 43 can be clamped in the limiting clamping position 125. In this way, the limiting member 50 can elastically deform smoothly and stably in the first installation groove 121, and the first through hole 43 plays a role in positioning and guiding the first convex 51, so that the first convex 51 can be more smoothly clamped into or out of the limiting clamping position 125. Of course, in other embodiments, the second installation groove 41 and the first through hole 43 may not be provided, and the support bracket 40 directly forms the limiting member 50 and the first convex 51.

[0080] It should be noted thatFigure 9 The stopper 50 is shown in a natural state (i.e., a non-elastic deformation state), so a portion of the first protrusion 51 thereof is shown to pass through the load-bearing bracket 12 and be exposed to the outside. It is understood that in actual application, the first protrusion 51 is completely received in the first mounting groove 121 of the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0081] It can be understood that the user only needs to bend the support bracket 40 to cause the first locking protrusion 51 to continuously lock in and out of multiple limiting positions 125, so as to quickly adjust the support bracket 40 to an ideal position, for example, to make the load-bearing bracket 12 substantially parallel to the horizontal plane. In the process of the first locking protrusion 51 continuously locking in and out of multiple limiting positions 125, as the first locking protrusion 51 continuously hits the load-bearing bracket 12, a "clicking" sound is emitted, and this sound can serve as a reminder of how many limiting positions 125 the support bracket 40 has moved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 10 In the first embodiment, optionally, both sides of the first installation groove 121 are provided with limiting clamping positions 125, two first clamping protrusions 51 and two first through holes 43 are provided correspondingly, and the two first clamping protrusions 51 are installed one-to-one with the two sides of the first installation groove 121. In this way, the left and right sides of the support bracket 40 are both subjected to the force applied by the first installation groove 121, which can improve the sliding smoothness and installation stability of the support bracket 40. Of course, in other embodiments, only one side of the limiting clamping position 125 and the first clamping protrusion 51 can be provided.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the first embodiment, optionally, a positioning structure is provided at the bottom of the second installation groove 41, and the position-limiting member 50 includes two intersecting first segments 52, the first ends of the two first segments 52 are connected and provided on the positioning structure, and the second end of the first segment 52 is provided with a first protrusion 51. In this way, the positioning structure can play a positioning and limiting role on the position-limiting member 50, so that the position-limiting member 50 can be stably installed in the second installation groove 41 and smoothly elastically deformed in the second installation groove 41. Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning structure may not be provided.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the first embodiment, optionally, the bottom wall of the second installation groove 41 is provided with a folded opening 441, and the positioning structure includes a fourth flange 442 folded from the side edge of the folded opening 441 close to the load-bearing bracket 12 toward the slot of the second installation groove 41, and a fifth flange 443 folded downward from the fourth flange 442, and the side edge of the folded opening 441, the fourth flange 442 and the fifth flange 443 jointly define an installation space, and the first segment 52 is limited in the installation space. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0085] Of course, the structure for enabling the support bracket 40 to adjust its connection position in the first direction can also be in other forms. For example, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in the second embodiment, further, a plurality of positioning holes 123 are spaced apart in the first direction in the first installation groove 121. The support bracket 40 is provided with positioning protrusions 45 corresponding to the positioning holes 123, and the positioning protrusions 45 can be selectively inserted and installed with the plurality of positioning holes 123. In this way, by selectively inserting and installing the positioning protrusions 45 through the plurality of positioning holes 123 to adjust the installation position of the support bracket 40 on the main bracket 10, not only is the structure simple but also the installation stability of the support bracket 40 on the main bracket 10 can be improved.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in the second embodiment, optionally, the positioning holes 123 are provided on the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121, and the positioning protrusions 45 are provided on the upper end surface of the support bracket 40. In this way, the structure is simple and it is easy to observe whether the positioning protrusions 45 are inserted in place in the positioning holes 123. It can be understood that although Figure 12 shows the same folding opening 441, fourth flanging 442, and fifth flanging 443 and other structures as in the first embodiment, obviously, these structures may not be provided in this embodiment. Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning holes 123 can also be provided on the side wall of the first installation groove 121. For example, the positioning protrusions 45 are configured as positioning beads that can elastically deform.

[0087] It can be understood that there are various ways to install the support bracket 40 in the first installation groove 121. For example, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 , in the first and second embodiments, further, the two sides of the notch of the first installation groove 121 are bent inward to form support flanges 126. The upper end of the support bracket 40 has a sliding portion 42. The side surface of the sliding portion 42 slidably abuts against the end surface of the support flange 126 and protrudes outward with a support protrusion 461. The support protrusion 461 slidably abuts against the inner side surface of the support flange 126. In this way, through the support and restriction effects of the support flange 126 on the support protrusion 461, the sliding smoothness and stability of the support bracket 40 in the first installation groove 121 can be improved. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be that the sliding portion 42 of the support bracket 40 is provided with a limiting rib. The limiting rib extends in the up and down direction and its upper end surface abuts against the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121, and the lower end surface of the limiting rib abuts against the inner side surface of the support flange 126.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, in the first and second embodiments, further, the support bracket 40 can rotate about the line connecting the two support convex portions 461 as the rotation axis, and has a stop state and a moving state. In the stop state, the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 is adapted to abut against the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121. In the moving state, the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 is at least partially separated from the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121. Specifically, when the support bracket 40 is in the stop state, the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 is substantially attached to the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121, so that the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 and the lower surface of the support convex portion 461 are both restricted by the abutment of the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby improving the installation stability of the support bracket 40. Secondly, when the support bracket 40 is in the moving state, the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 is completely separated or substantially separated (for example, only the corners of the upper end surface remain in an abutting relationship) from the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121, which can make the moving operation of the support bracket 40 easier and more labor-saving.

[0089] That is, before the support bracket 40 moves, it can first rotate backward slightly to make the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 substantially separated from the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121 to avoid generating a large dynamic friction resistance, so that the support bracket 40 can be easily moved. When the support bracket 40 moves to a suitable position (for example, when the load-bearing bracket 12 is in a substantially horizontal posture), it rotates forward slightly to make the upper end surface of the sliding portion 42 substantially attached to the bottom surface of the first installation groove 121, and at the same time, the first clamping convex 51 is clamped in the limiting position 125 or the positioning convex 45 is clamped in the positioning hole 123, then the fixed installation of the support bracket 40 relative to the load-bearing bracket 12 can be realized.

[0090] It can be understood that the support convex portion 461 and the sliding portion 42 mainly play a role in transmitting the support force from the outer wall surface to the load-bearing bracket 12, while the first clamping convex 51 or the positioning convex 45 mainly plays a role in restricting the relative fixation of the support bracket 40 on the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0091] There are various structural forms of the support convex portion 461. For example, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 and Figure 12 , in the first and second embodiments, further, the support bracket 40 further includes a pin shaft 46. The sliding portion 42 is provided with a pin hole 421 corresponding to the pin shaft 46, and the portion of the pin shaft 46 passing through the pin hole 421 is configured as the support convex portion 461. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement, and it is convenient for the assembly between the support bracket 40 and the load-bearing bracket 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the support convex portion 461 can also be a convex column welded to the outer side surface of the sliding portion 42, or a convex hull structure formed by stamping from the outer side surface of the sliding portion 42.
