[0041] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present utility model will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0042] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) involved in the embodiments of the present invention, then such directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture. If this specific posture changes, then the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0044] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, then such descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears throughout the text, its meaning includes three parallel scenarios. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scenario A, or scenario B, or the scenario where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.

[0045] In the prior art, for a split air conditioner that facilitates personal installation by users, it uses flexible refrigerant pipes 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, he only needs to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner respectively, without the need to assemble the refrigerant pipes and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by the user.

[0046] The installation bracket for installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner usually includes a main bracket and a support bracket. One end of the main bracket is installed on the window frame and the other end extends out of the window and is used to support the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. One end of the support bracket is connected to the main bracket and the other end is provided with a support foot, and the support foot is used to abut against the outer wall surface so that the installation bracket can reliably maintain the installation posture. However, there are problems that the existing support foot and the support bracket are prone to relative shaking and abnormal noise after assembly.

[0047] In view of this, the present utility model proposes a mounting bracket for mounting an outdoor air conditioner, which can solve the above technical problems, that is, it can improve the assembly stability of the support feet on the support bracket and avoid the problems of relative shaking and abnormal noise of the support feet.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, the mounting bracket includes:

[0049] A main bracket 10 for mounting an outdoor air conditioner 95;

[0050] A support bracket 20, the upper end of the support bracket 20 is connected to the main bracket 10; and

[0051] Support feet 31, connected to the lower end of the support bracket 20, the support feet 31 have two opposite first side walls 311, the support bracket 20 has two opposite second side walls 21, and the outer one of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 defines an installation groove 312, and the other one extends into the installation groove 312, and the first side wall 311 abuts against the second side wall 21.

[0052] That is, in the embodiment where the two first side walls 311 define the installation groove 312, the second side wall 21 abuts against the inner side of the groove side wall of the installation groove 312; while in the embodiment where the two second side walls 21 define the installation groove 312, it is the first side wall 311 that abuts against the inner side of the groove side wall of the installation groove 312.

[0053] The technical solution of the present utility model, by providing two first side walls 311 on the support feet 31, and providing two second side walls 21 on the support bracket 20, and using the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 to abut against each other one by one, can realize the mutual restraint between the support feet 31 and the support bracket 20 in the distribution direction of the two first side walls 311, so as to avoid the problem of relative shaking of the support feet 31 relative to the support bracket 20 in this direction and the abnormal noise caused by the shaking.

[0054] On the one hand, the larger the width dimensions of the feet 31 and the protective pads 33 in the left-right direction, the greater the contact area between the foot assembly 30 and the outer wall surface, thus making the abutment of the foot assembly 30 on the outer wall more stable and reliable. Therefore, in the design, it tends to make the width dimensions of the feet 31 and the protective pads 33 larger, which will result in a larger groove width of the installation groove 312. On the other hand, since the support bracket 20 needs to play a supporting role to make the load-bearing bracket 12 in a substantially horizontal posture, the length dimension of the support bracket 20 is usually large. On the premise of meeting the structural strength, making its width dimension as small as possible in the left-right direction is beneficial to reducing the material cost during its manufacturing and can also reduce its weight. On this basis, for the convenience of manufacturing the support bracket 20 and the feet 31, the widths of the support bracket 20 and the feet 31 are usually designed in a structure form with substantially equal widths, that is, the distances between the two first side walls 311 and the distances between the two second side walls 21 are usually designed to be equal distances.

[0055] It can be understood that after the lower end of the support bracket 20 with a narrower width is inserted into the installation groove 312 with a wider width, there will be a large gap between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21, resulting in the lower end of the support bracket 20 shaking in the installation groove 312 in the left-right direction and generating abnormal noises, which will cause user complaints and doubts about the structural stability of the installation bracket.

[0056] Therefore, in order to simultaneously meet the conditions that the foot assembly 30 has a large contact area with the outer wall surface and the support bracket 20 is lightweight, either the local structure of the support bracket 20 with a narrower width can be widened, or the local width of the feet 31 with a narrower width can be narrowed, or the support bracket 20 can be widened and the feet 31 can be narrowed at the same time, or a gasket or a spacer can be added between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21.

[0057] Specifically and optionally, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8, in an embodiment where the two first side walls 311 define an installation groove 312, optionally, the second side wall 21 includes a connected first wall segment 211 and a second wall segment 212. The distance between the two second wall segments 212 is greater than the distance between the two first wall segments 211. The first wall segment 211 is located outside the installation groove 312, and the second wall segment 212 abuts against the first side wall 311. That is, the width dimension of the support leg 31 remains unchanged, and the second side wall 21 of the support bracket 20 is adaptively adjusted and protrudes outward to form the second wall segment 212. That is, a local widening design is made at the second wall segment 212, so that the support bracket can be adapted to be installed on the support leg 31 with a larger width and avoid the problems of shaking and abnormal noise of the support leg 31. Secondly, the present utility model only widens the local structure of the support bracket 20, and will not cause an obvious increase in the manufacturing cost of the support bracket 20, nor is it necessary to add gaskets or pads between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost of the installation bracket and improve the production efficiency.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that the two first side walls 311 define an installation groove 312, and the first side wall 311 includes a connected third wall segment and a fourth wall segment. The distance between the two fourth wall segments is less than the distance between the two third wall segments, and the fourth wall segment abuts against the second side wall 21; that is, the width dimension of the support bracket 20 remains unchanged, and the first side wall 311 of the support leg 31 is adaptively adjusted and concavely formed to form the fourth wall segment. That is, a local narrowing design is made at the fourth wall segment, so that the support leg 31 can be adapted to be installed on the support bracket 20 with a smaller width and avoid the problems of shaking and abnormal noise of the support leg 31.

[0059] Similarly, in an embodiment where the two second side walls 21 define an installation groove 312, that is, in an embodiment where the support leg 311 is inserted into the installation groove 312, if the lower end of the support leg 31 with a narrower width shakes left and right in the installation groove and causes abnormal noise after being inserted into the installation groove 312 with a wider width. For this problem, similarly, a narrowing design can be made for the support bracket, or a widening design can be made for the support leg, or gaskets or pads can be added between the first side wall and the second side wall.

[0060] Specifically, in an embodiment where the two second side walls 21 define an installation groove 312, optionally, the second side wall 21 includes a connected first wall segment 211 and a second wall segment 212. The distance between the two second wall segments 212 is less than the distance between the two first wall segments 211. The first wall segment 211 is located outside the installation groove 312, and the second wall segment 212 abuts against the first side wall 311; or, the first side wall 311 includes a connected third wall segment and a fourth wall segment. The distance between the two fourth wall segments is greater than the distance between the two third wall segments, and the fourth wall segment abuts against the second side wall 21.

[0061] For the convenience of manufacturing and forming the second side wall 21 and to improve the structural strength of the second side wall 21, please refer to Figure 6 , optionally, the second side wall 21 further includes a transition wall segment 213 connected between the first wall segment 211 and the second wall segment 212, and the transition wall segment 213 extends obliquely outward in the direction close to the mounting groove 312. In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem of a sudden change in the structure between the first wall segment 211 and the second wall segment 212, which may lead to poor strength. Of course, in other embodiments, the transition wall segment 213 may not be provided, and the second wall segment 212 may be directly bent and formed from the first wall segment 211.

[0062] In addition, the existing assembly method of the support feet and the support bracket has the problems of complex operation and low production efficiency. Specifically, the support feet are usually installed and fixed at the lower end of the support bracket by means of bolt locking. During the production process of the mounting bracket, the worker needs to hold a socket wrench in one hand to twist the bolt so that the bolt is screwed into the nut, and at the same time hold a wrench in the other hand to restrain the nut to prevent the nut from rotating along with the bolt, that is, to restrain the nut so that it can be in a relatively stationary state. It can be understood that such an assembly method is complex in operation, not only requires high operation ability of the worker, but also affects the assembly man-hours and production efficiency.

[0063] Secondly, if the worker directly pinches the bolt and the nut with both hands respectively for locking, or holds a tool (such as a socket wrench or a wrench) in one hand and directly pinches the nut or the bolt with the other hand for locking, there will be a risk that the bolt and the nut are not tightened in place, which may cause the risk of the bolt loosening during subsequent use and resulting in the structural instability of the mounting bracket.

[0064] To solve the above problems, the mounting bracket proposed by the present utility model further includes a support foot assembly 30. The support foot assembly 30 includes a support foot 31 and a fastener 32. The support foot 31 is installed at the lower end of the support bracket 20 through the fastener 32 and is used to abut against the outer wall surface. The fastener 32 includes a bolt 321 and a nut 325 that can be locked to each other, and during the locking process, one of the bolt 321 and the nut 325 can be relatively fixedly connected to the support bracket 20 or the support foot 31.

[0065] It should be noted that relatively fixed means that during the operation of locking the bolt 321 and the nut 325 to each other, one of the two can rely on the structural restraint of the support bracket 20 or the support foot 31 to maintain a relatively stationary state, without the need to rely on additional tools (such as a socket wrench or a wrench) or the binding force exerted by the user's hand. The user only needs to hold a tool in one hand and rotate the other one of the two to realize the operation of screwing the bolt 321 into the nut 325.

[0066] It can be understood that the relatively fixed connection can mean that the bolt 321 or the nut 325 is directly fixedly arranged on the support bracket 20 or the support leg 31, and after being fixed, the fixed connection relationship cannot be released unless by means of destructive demolition, such as directly fixing by welding or riveting. The relatively fixed connection can also mean that a constraint structure is correspondingly arranged on the support bracket 20 or the support leg 31, and the bolt 321 or the nut 325 has a detachable connection relationship with the constraint structure, so as to achieve relatively fixed constraint. For example, the constraint structure is configured as a stop flange 314 or a boss or a rib, and one of the six sides of the hexagonal head at the end of the bolt 321 abuts against the stop flange 314, the boss or the rib, so as to restrict the self-rotation of the bolt 321. The relatively fixed connection can also mean that the support bracket 20 or the support leg 31 is directly integrally formed with the structure of the nut 325. For a more detailed implementation method, please refer to the following text.

[0067] In the technical solution of the present utility model, by setting one of the bolt 321 and the nut 325 to be relatively fixedly connected to the support bracket 20 or the support leg 31, during the operation of rotating and locking the other one, the relatively fixed one does not need to rely on additional binding force and binding operation, that is, the user does not need to use the other hand to operate and restrain the relatively fixed one at the same time, so as to simplify the assembly operation of the support leg 31 and the support bracket 20, thereby improving its production efficiency.

[0068] It should be noted that the air conditioner of the present utility model can be a split air conditioner that is convenient for users to install personally. 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 95 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, only the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit 95 need to be fixed respectively, and there is no need to assemble the refrigerant pipe and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by the user.

[0069] However, this design is not limited to this. 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 95 of the air conditioner refers to the part of the window air conditioner extending to the outdoor side.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , further, the main bracket 10 includes a window mounting bracket 11 and a load-bearing bracket 12. The window mounting bracket 11 can be installed on the window frame 911. The load-bearing bracket 12 extends to the outside of the window along the first direction. The outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner is arranged on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12. The upper end of the support bracket 20 is connected to the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0071] Optionally, the support bracket 20 is detachably mounted on the load-bearing bracket 12 by means of screwing, clamping, etc., and / or the support bracket 20 can move along the first direction on the load-bearing bracket 12 to adjust its mounting position. In this way, it is convenient for the user to meet the requirements for installing the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 by replacing the support brackets 20 of different specifications or adjusting the mounting position of the support bracket 20, for example, making the load-bearing bracket 12 in a substantially horizontal posture.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , 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-rear direction is the first direction, the upper side of the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 is the upper side and the lower side of the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 is the lower side. The outer side surface of the window frame 911 is defined as the reference surface 93, and the wall surface of the wall 92 is defined as the measurement surface 94, then the distance L between the measurement surface 94 and the reference surface 93 is the window sill width, as Figure 2 shown by the distance L in. Among them, when the measurement surface 94 is on the side close to the indoor space of the reference surface 93, the value of L is negative, and when the measurement surface 94 is on the side far from the indoor space of the reference surface 93, the value of L is positive; that is, Figure 2 the value of L shown is negative.

[0073] It can be understood that the window sill width is related to the thickness of the wall 92 where the window is located and the installation position of the window frame 911 on the window. Therefore, the window sill width may vary due to different buildings, resulting in that the installation brackets with fixed size specifications cannot be well adapted to different window sill widths.

[0074] To adapt to the installation scenarios with different window sill widths, the installation bracket of the present invention provides two different specifications of support brackets 20 for the user to selectively install one of the specifications of the support brackets 20 according to the actual installation scenario. Optionally, the projection length of at least one support bracket 20 in the first direction ranges from 250 mm to 350 mm, and the projection length of at least one support bracket 20 in the first direction ranges from 140 mm to 240 mm.

[0075] For example, when the value of the window sill width L ranges from -100 mm to 140 mm, the support bracket 20 with a longer length can be selected for installation; when the value of the window sill width L ranges from 140 mm to 280 mm, the support bracket 20 with a shorter length can be selected for installation.

[0076] It should be noted that the meaning of the support bracket 20 having at least two different specifications does not specifically refer to the installation bracket being equipped with at least two specifications of support brackets 20 when leaving the factory packaging. That is, when the user purchases and receives the product packaging of the installation bracket (such as an express parcel), they may receive at least two specifications of support brackets 20 at the same time, or they may only receive one specification of support bracket 20. Among them, for the latter case, it can be that the user directly selects the required specification of the support bracket 20 during the purchase. For example, when purchasing on an online shopping platform, directly select the required specification model of the support bracket 20 on the purchase page and place an order directly. At this time, the merchant can ship only one specification of the support bracket 20 to the user according to the order situation (that is, the installation bracket only includes one specification of the support bracket 20 when sold and applied).

[0077] It can be understood that when the installation bracket is equipped with at least two specifications of support brackets 20 when leaving the factory packaging, the user can directly select the appropriate specification of the support bracket 20 according to different installation environments to form a suitable installation bracket. Even if it is found that one specification of the support bracket 20 cannot achieve the expected effect, it can be quickly replaced with another specification of the support bracket 20, thus avoiding delaying the installation progress of the air conditioner.

[0078] Of course, correspondingly, when the installation bracket is only equipped with one specification of the support bracket 20 when leaving the factory packaging, it can both reduce the purchase cost for the user and reduce unnecessary material waste.

[0079] Furthermore, the air conditioner further includes a compressor (not shown in the drawings). The compressor is arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit, and the compressor is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger through a flexible refrigerant pipe. In this way, the weight of the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the user to install the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 by themselves. Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit is also provided with a noise reduction structure corresponding to the compressor. For example, the noise reduction structure includes sound insulation cotton surrounding the outer circumference of the compressor. The present application does not make specific limitations on this. In this way, the working noise of the compressor and the air conditioner indoor unit can be reduced, thereby improving the use experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor can also be arranged in the air conditioner outdoor unit 95.

[0080] Furthermore, the air conditioner further includes an electric control box (not shown in the drawings). The electric control box is arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit. In this way, the weight of the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 can be further reduced, thereby facilitating the user to install the air conditioner outdoor unit 95 by themselves. Of course, in other embodiments, the electric control box can also be arranged in the air conditioner outdoor unit 95.

[0081] In order to improve the installation stability of the foot component 30 on the outer wall, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6, Further, the foot component 30 further includes a protective pad 33. The protective pad 33 is provided on the side of the foot 31 away from the fastener 32 and is used to abut against the outer wall surface. Specifically, the material of the protective pad 33 can be rubber, silicone, etc., and the present application does not make specific limitations thereto. In this way, the static friction force received by the foot 31 when abutting against the outer wall surface can be increased through the protective pad 33, thereby improving the installation stability of the support bracket 20 on the outer wall surface and the structural stability of the installation bracket. Secondly, the elastic protective pad 33 can also play a buffering role to avoid the problem that the foot directly impacts the outer wall surface and is damaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the protective pad 33 may not be provided, and the side surface of the foot 31 can be treated with frosting to enhance the static friction force received during abutment.

[0082] Optionally, the foot 31 is rotatably sleeved on the bolt 321. In this way, the foot 31 can rotate relative to the bolt 321 to adjust its installation posture relative to the support bracket 20, so that the foot 31 can adapt to the outer wall surface with an inclined angle. That is, when the outer wall surface is not a vertical surface, the foot 31 can freely rotate to a posture that fits the outer wall surface better, thereby increasing the contact surface area between the foot 31 and the outer wall surface. Of course, in other embodiments, the foot 31 may also be relatively fixed to the bolt 321. For example, after the bolt 321 and the nut 325 are locked in place, the foot 31 is welded and fixed to the bolt 321 by spot welding or the like.

[0083] There are various installation methods for the bolt 321, the nut 325 and the support bracket 20 or the foot 31. For example, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , In the first and second embodiments, further, the foot 31 has a first side wall 311, and the support bracket 20 has a second side wall 21 opposite to the first side wall 311. The bolt 321 movably passes through the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 and is threadedly connected to the nut 325 fixed on the first side wall 311. That is, in this embodiment, when locking, the nut 325 is relatively fixedly connected to the first side wall 311, and the bolt 321 can rotatably pass through the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 and be screwed into the nut 325 to realize the installation of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21. Of course, in some other embodiments, the nut 325 may also be fixed on the second side wall 21.

[0084] In other embodiments, it can also be that before locking, the bolt 321 is pre-passed through the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 and is relatively fixedly connected to the first side wall 311 or the second side wall 21, and then the nut 325 can rotatably be sleeved on the bolt 321 to realize the installation of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21.

[0085] Optionally, there are two first side walls 311 and two second side walls 21, and the outer one of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 defines an installation groove 312, and the other one extends into the installation groove 312. In this way, the support bracket 20 and the support leg 31 can be mutually restricted in the left - right direction, avoiding the problem that the support bracket 20 and the support leg 31 move in the left - right direction and separate from each other.

[0086] In this embodiment, optionally, the nut 325 is arranged outside one groove side wall of the installation groove 312, and the bolt 321 penetrates into the installation groove 312 from the other groove side wall. In this way, the installation and fixation of the nut 325 can be facilitated, and at the same time, the nut 325 is prevented from interfering with the operation of the mutual insertion of the support bracket 20 and the support leg 31, that is, it is convenient for workers to assemble the support bracket 20 and the support leg 31.

[0087] It should be noted that the outside of the groove side wall of the installation groove 312 refers to the mutually facing sides of its two groove side walls. Correspondingly, the inside of the groove side wall of the installation groove 312 refers to the mutually facing sides of its two groove side walls.

[0088] Secondly, the outer one of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 refers to the second side wall 21 when two first side walls 311 are arranged between two second side walls 21, or the first side wall 311 when two second side walls 21 are arranged between two first side walls 311. For example, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , two first side walls 311 are provided and an installation groove 312 is formed therebetween at intervals, and two second side walls 21 are provided and extend into the installation groove 312. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be that two second side walls 21 form an installation groove 312 at intervals, and the first side wall 311 is inserted into the installation groove 312.

[0089] It can be understood that in the embodiment where the two first side walls 311 define the installation groove 312, the nut 325 is fixedly arranged outside the groove side wall of the installation groove 312, which means that the nut 325 is fixedly arranged on the side of the first side wall 311 away from the second side wall 21. In this way, the installation and fixation of the nut 325 can be facilitated, and at the same time, the nut 325 is prevented from interfering with the operation of inserting and installing the second side wall 21 into the installation groove 312, that is, it is convenient for workers to assemble the support bracket 20 and the support leg 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the nut 325 can also be fixedly arranged inside the groove side wall of the installation groove 312.

[0090] It can be understood that there are various ways for the nut 325 to be relatively fixedly connected to the first side wall 311 or the second side wall 21. For example, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, in the first embodiment, the nut 325 is fixed to the first side wall 311 by riveting (such as press riveting or blind riveting) or welding. In this way, the structure of the support leg 31 or the support bracket 20 can be simplified, which is beneficial to its production and manufacturing, and at the same time is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the nut 325 and it. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be that the nut 325 is fixed to the second side wall 21 by riveting (such as press riveting or blind riveting) or welding.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 7 , in the second embodiment, the nut 325 is integrally formed on the first side wall 311. Specifically, optionally, the first side wall 311 is turned over with a mounting flange, and the inner side surface of the mounting flange is provided with an internal thread, and the mounting flange is configured as the nut 325. That is, the first side wall 311 is integrally stamped to form the mounting flange, and a threaded hole is tapped on the mounting flange, so as to form the structure of the nut 325. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, in some other embodiments, it can also be that the nut 325 is integrally formed on the second side wall 21.

[0092] In other embodiments, it can also be that the nut 325 is integrally cast on the first side wall 311 or the second side wall 21, such as die casting, or the structure of the nut 325 is integrally formed by machining.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 7 , in the second embodiment, optionally, the mounting flange is provided on the side of the first side wall 311 away from the second side wall 21 and is bent away from the second side wall 21. In this way, it is possible to avoid the mounting flange interfering with the operation of inserting and installing the second side wall 21 into the mounting groove 312, that is, it is convenient for workers to assemble the support bracket 20 and the support leg 31.

[0094] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 , in the third, fourth, and fifth embodiments, further, the support leg 31 is provided with a stop portion 313, and the nut 322 or the nut 325 of the bolt 321 is provided with a limiting surface 323 corresponding to the stop portion 313, and the limiting surface 323 abuts against the stop portion 313 to realize the relative fixation of the bolt 321 or the nut 325. In this way, by using the abutting relationship between the limiting surface 323 and the stop portion 313, the bolt 321 or the nut 325 having the limiting surface 323 can be kept in a relatively static state. This way of realizing the relative fixation of the bolt 321 or the nut 325 has a simple structure and is easy to implement, and at the same time it is convenient for workers to release this relative fixation relationship, as long as the limiting surface 323 and the stop portion 313 are separated. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be that the support bracket 20 is provided with the stop portion 313.

[0095] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10, in the third, fourth, and fifth embodiments, further, the foot 31 has a first side wall 311, the support bracket 20 has a second side wall 21 opposite to the first side wall 311, the nut 322 of the bolt 321 is provided with a limiting surface 323, the bolt 321 passes through the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 and is threadedly connected to the nut 325, and the stop portion 313 is provided on one of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 close to the limiting surface 323. That is, in this embodiment, before locking, the second end of the bolt 321 is pre-passed through the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21, and the stop portion 313 is abutted against the limiting surface 323 to restrict the self-rotation of the bolt 321, thereby preventing the bolt 321 from rotating following the rotation of the nut 325, and then the nut 325 can be sleeved on the second end of the bolt 321 relatively rotatably.

[0096] Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the limiting surface 323 is provided on the nut 325. For example, at least one of the six side surfaces of the external hexagonal nut 325 is used as the limiting surface 323 and abuts against the stop portion 313.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 8 , in the third embodiment, optionally, the first end of the bolt 321 has a nut 322, and the side surface of the nut 322 forms a limiting surface 323. For example, Figure 8 in the illustrated embodiment, the bolt 321 is configured as an external hexagonal bolt, the hexagonal head of the bolt is the nut 322, and at least one of the six side surfaces of the hexagonal head is used as the limiting surface 323.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 8 , in the third embodiment, optionally, there are two first side walls 311, and an installation groove 312 is formed therebetween at intervals. There are two second side walls 21 and they extend into the installation groove 312. The stop portion 313 is provided on the outer side of one groove side wall of the installation groove 312, and the nut 325 is installed on the outer side of the other groove side wall of the installation groove 312. In this way, both the stop portion 313 and the nut 325 are provided outside the installation groove 312, which can avoid the operation of inserting and installing the second side wall 21 into the installation groove 312. That is, it is convenient for workers to assemble the support bracket 20 and the foot 31. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that only the stop portion 313 is provided on the outer side of one groove side wall of the installation groove 312, and the nut 325 is provided on the inner side of the installation groove 312.

[0099] The structural form of the stop portion 313 has various types. For example, the first side wall 311 is provided with a stop flange 314 or a stop boss 315 or a stop rib 316, and the stop portion 313 includes at least one of the stop flange 314, the stop boss 315, and the stop rib 316. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the stop portion 313 is provided on the second side wall 21.

[0100] Specifically, please refer to Figure 8 , in this embodiment, the stop portion 313 includes a stop flange 314 bent outward from the first side wall 311, and one side surface of the stop flange 314 abuts against the limiting surface 323.
