[0044] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners

[0045] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0046] 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 utility model, then the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, then the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0047] In addition, if descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are involved in the embodiments of the present utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first", "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 scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0048] 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.

[0049] The installation bracket for installing the outdoor unit of an air conditioner generally 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, the existing assembly method of the support foot and the support bracket has problems of complex operation and low production efficiency.

[0050] Specifically, the support foot is usually installed and fixed at the lower end of the support bracket by means of bolt locking. During the production process of the installation bracket, the worker needs to hold a socket wrench in one hand to twist the bolt so that the bolt screws 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 static 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.

[0051] 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, thus leading to the risk of the bolt loosening during subsequent use and the structural instability of the installation bracket.

[0052] In view of this, the present utility model provides a mounting bracket for mounting an outdoor air conditioner unit, which can solve the above technical problems, that is, it can simplify the assembly operation of the foot and the support bracket.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, the mounting bracket includes:

[0054] A main bracket 10 for mounting the outdoor air conditioner unit 95;

[0055] A support bracket 20, the upper end of the support bracket 20 is connected to the main bracket 10; and

[0056] A foot assembly 30, including a foot 31 and a fastener 32. The foot 31 is mounted on 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. 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 foot 31.

[0057] 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 remain in a relatively static state by the structural constraint of the support bracket 20 or the foot 31, without the need to rely on additional tools (such as a socket 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 of the two to achieve the operation of screwing the bolt 321 into the nut 325.

[0058] It can be understood that relatively fixedly connected can either mean that the bolt 321 or the nut 325 is directly fixedly provided on the support bracket 20 or the foot 31, and the fixed connection relationship cannot be released unless a destructive demolition method is used, such as directly fixing by welding or riveting. Relatively fixedly connected can also mean that a constraint structure is correspondingly provided on the support bracket 20 or the foot 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 side surfaces of the hexagonal head at the end of the bolt 321 abuts against the stop flange 314, the boss or the rib, thereby restricting the self-rotation of the bolt 321. Relatively fixedly connected can also mean that the support bracket 20 or the foot 31 is directly integrally formed with the structure of the nut 325. For a more detailed implementation method, please refer to the following text.

[0059] The technical solution of the present utility model simplifies the assembly operation of the supporting foot 31 and the supporting bracket 20 and improves the production efficiency by setting one of the bolt 321 and the nut 325 to be relatively fixedly connected to the supporting bracket 20 or the supporting foot 31, so that 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.

[0060] 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 injects refrigerant 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 of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner respectively, without the need to assemble the refrigerant pipe and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by the user.

[0061] However, the present 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 that extends to the outdoor side.

[0062] 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 mounted 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.

[0063] 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 change the support bracket 20 of different specifications or adjust the mounting position of the support bracket 20 to make the posture of the mounting bracket meet the requirements for installing the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner, such as making the load-bearing bracket 12 in a substantially horizontal posture.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in the embodiment of the present utility model, 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 outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner is the upper side and the lower side of the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner 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 2as shown by the distance L therein. Wherein, when the measurement surface 94 is on the side of the reference surface 93 close to the indoor space, the value of L is negative, and when the measurement surface 94 is on the side of the reference surface 93 away from the indoor space, the value of L is positive; that is, Figure 2 the value of L shown is negative.

[0065] 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 the influence of different buildings, resulting in the inability of the mounting brackets with fixed size specifications to fit different window sill widths well.

[0066] To adapt to the installation scenarios with different window sill widths, the mounting brackets of the present utility model provide two different specifications of support brackets 20, so that users can 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] It should be noted that the meaning of the support bracket 20 having at least two different specifications does not specifically refer to that the mounting bracket is 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 mounting bracket (such as an express package), 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 mounting bracket only includes one specification of the support bracket 20 when sold and applied).

[0069] It can be understood that in the case where the mounting 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 mounting bracket. Even if it is found that one of the specifications 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.

[0070] Of course, correspondingly, when only one specification of the support bracket 20 is provided in the factory packaging of the installation bracket, it can not only reduce the purchase cost for users, but also reduce unnecessary material waste.

[0071] Furthermore, the air conditioner further includes a compressor (not shown in the drawings). The compressor is disposed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the compressor is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger through a flexible refrigerant pipe. In this way, the weight of the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner can be reduced, facilitating the user to install the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner by themselves. Optionally, the indoor unit of the air conditioner 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 thereto. In this way, the working noise of the compressor and the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor may also be disposed in the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner.

[0072] Furthermore, the air conditioner further includes an electric control box (not shown in the drawings). The electric control box is disposed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. In this way, the weight of the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner can be further reduced, facilitating the user to install the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner by themselves. Of course, in other embodiments, the electric control box may also be disposed in the outdoor unit 95 of the air conditioner.

[0073] To improve the installation stability of the foot assembly 30 on the outer wall, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , furthermore, the foot assembly 30 further includes a protective pad 33. The protective pad 33 is disposed on the side of the foot 31 away from the fastener 32 and is used to abut against the outer wall. Specifically, the material of the protective pad 33 may be rubber or silica gel, etc. 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 can be increased through the protective pad 33, thereby improving the installation stability of the support bracket 20 on the outer wall 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 and is damaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the protective pad 33 may not be provided, and the side surface of the foot 31 may be treated with frosting to increase the static friction force received during abutment.

[0074] 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 inclined outer wall surface. 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 can also be relatively fixed on 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.

[0075] 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 is provided with a second side wall 21 corresponding 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 can also be fixed on the second side wall 21.

[0076] 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.

[0077] Optionally, there are two first side walls 311 and 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 foot 31 can be mutually constrained in the left-right direction, avoiding the problem that the support bracket 20 and the foot 31 move in the left-right direction and separate from each other.

[0078] 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 foot 31. That is, it is convenient for workers to assemble the support bracket 20 and the foot 31.

[0079] It should be noted that the outer sides of the groove side walls of the installation groove 312 refer to the sides of the two groove side walls that face away from each other. Correspondingly, the inner sides of the groove side walls of the installation groove 312 refer to the sides of the two groove side walls that face each other.

[0080] Secondly, the outermost one of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21 means the second side wall 21 when the two first side walls 311 are arranged between the two second side walls 21, or the first side wall 311 when the two second side walls 21 are arranged between the 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 may 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.

[0081] 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 on the outer side of 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 may also be fixedly arranged on the inner side of the groove side wall of the installation groove 312.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 6 , optionally, the second side wall 21 abuts against the first side wall 311. 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. In this way, mutual restraint between the support leg 31 and the support bracket 20 in the distribution direction of the two first side walls 311 can be realized, so as to avoid the problem that the support leg 31 shakes relative to the support bracket 20 in this direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the second side wall 21 and the first side wall 311 may also be arranged at intervals.

[0083] On the one hand, the larger the width dimensions of the supporting feet 31 and the protective pads 33 in the left - right direction, the greater the contact area between the supporting foot assembly 30 and the outer wall surface, thus making the abutment of the supporting foot assembly 30 on the outer wall more stable and reliable. Therefore, in the design, it tends to make the width dimensions of the supporting 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 keep 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 the production and manufacturing of the support bracket 20 and the supporting feet 31, the widths of the support bracket 20 and the supporting feet 31 are usually designed in a structure form with basically 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] Therefore, in order to simultaneously meet the conditions that the supporting foot assembly 30 has a large contact area with the outer wall surface and the support bracket 20 is lightweight, either a local structure widening design can be made for the support bracket 20 with a narrower width, or a local narrowing design can be made for the supporting foot 31 with a narrower width, or a widening design can be made for the support bracket 20 and a narrowing design can be made for the supporting foot 31 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.

[0086] Specifically and optionally, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8, in an embodiment where the two first side walls 311 define the 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, 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 a significant 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, thereby being able to reduce the manufacturing cost of the mounting bracket and improve production efficiency.

[0087] Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that the two first side walls 311 define the installation groove 312. 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.

[0088] Similarly, in an embodiment where the two second side walls 21 define the installation groove 312, that is, in an embodiment where the support leg 311 is inserted into the installation groove 312, if the support leg 31 with a narrower width is inserted into the installation groove 312 with a wider width, there will also be a large gap between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21, resulting in the support leg 31 shaking in the installation groove in the left-right direction and generating abnormal noise. To solve 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.

[0089] Specifically, in an embodiment where the two second side walls 21 define the 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, 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.

[0090] 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 outwardly and obliquely 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.

[0091] It can be understood that there are various ways to relatively fixedly connect the nut 325 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, the nut 325 may also be fixed to the second side wall 21 by riveting (such as press riveting or blind riveting) or welding.

[0092] 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 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, the nut 325 may also be integrally formed on the second side wall 21.

[0093] In other embodiments, the structure of the nut 325 may also be integrally cast and formed on the first side wall 311 or the second side wall 21, such as die casting, or the structure of the nut 325 may be integrally formed by machining.

[0094] 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 and formed in the direction 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 mounting 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.

[0095] 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. 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. The method for realizing the relative fixation of the bolt 321 or the nut 325 has a simple structure and is easy to implement. At the same time, it is convenient for workers to release the relative fixation relationship, as long as the limiting surface 323 and the stop portion 313 are separated. Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that the support bracket 20 is provided with the stop portion 313.

[0096] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 , in the third, fourth, and fifth embodiments, further, the support leg 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 second end of the bolt 321 passes through the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 21, and is threadedly connected to the nut 325. 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. Then, the nut 325 can be relatively rotatably sleeved on the second end of the bolt 321.

[0097] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting surface 323 may also be 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.

[0098] 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.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 8In the third embodiment, optionally, the first side wall 311 is provided with two mounting grooves 312 formed at intervals, the second side wall 21 is provided with two and extends into the mounting groove 312, the stopper 313 is provided on the outside of one groove side wall of the mounting groove 312, and the nut 325 is installed on the outside of the other groove side wall of the mounting groove 312. In this way, the stopper 313 and the nut 325 are both provided on the outside of the mounting groove 312, which can avoid the operation of inserting and installing the two on the second side wall 21 in the mounting 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, only the stopper 313 can be provided on the outside of one groove side wall of the mounting groove 312, and the nut 325 can be provided on the inside of the groove of the mounting groove 312.

[0100] The stopper 313 has various structural forms. For example, the first side wall 311 is provided with a stop flange 314, a stop boss 315, or a stop rib 316, and the stopper 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, the stopper 313 can also be provided on the second side wall 21.

[0101] Specifically, see Figure 8 In this embodiment, the stopper 313 includes a stopper flange 314 bent outward from the first side wall 311, and one side of the stopper flange 314 abuts against the limiting surface 323. Figure 9 The stopper 313 in this embodiment includes a stopper boss 315 formed by drawing outward from the first side wall 311, and one side of the stopper boss 315 abuts against the limiting surface 323. Figure 10 The stop portion 313 in this embodiment includes two stop ribs 316 drawn outward from the first side wall 311, and the bolt 321 has two corresponding limiting surfaces 323 (for example, two opposite side surfaces of the hexagonal head), and the end faces of the two stop ribs 316 respectively abut against the two limiting surfaces 323.

[0102] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4Furthermore, the window bracket 11 is provided with a clamping portion 111 and a mounting portion 112 connected to each other, and the mounting bracket further includes a clamping member 14 movably provided on the mounting portion 112, and the clamping member 14 is arranged opposite to the clamping portion 111, and clamps the window frame together. In this way, by adjusting the installation position of the clamping member 14 on the mounting portion 112, the distance between the clamping member 14 and the clamping portion 111 can be adjusted, so that the window bracket can be adapted to be installed on window frames of different specifications. Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping member 14 and the mounting portion 112 may not be provided, and a spring clip may be fixed on the window bracket to clamp the window frame, or the window bracket may be fixed to the window frame by bonding or welding.

[0103] Furthermore, the window bracket 11 is provided with a clamping groove 113, and the two opposite groove side walls of the clamping groove 113 are respectively configured as the mounting portion 112 and the clamping portion 111. That is, the mounting portion 112 and the clamping portion 111 are connected through the groove bottom wall of the clamping groove 113. In this way, the structure is simple, and the contact area between the window bracket and the window frame can be increased, thereby improving the installation reliability of the window bracket. Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping groove 113 may not be provided, for example, the mounting portion 112 and the clamping portion 111 are two plate portions arranged opposite to each other, and the two plate portions are connected by a connecting rod; or the window bracket includes a sleeve and an L-shaped bracket, and the L-shaped bracket includes a first plate portion and a second plate portion intersecting each other, the second plate portion connects the first plate portion and the sleeve, the first plate portion is arranged opposite to the sleeve and configured as the clamping portion 111, and the stacked sleeve is configured as the mounting portion 112.

[0104] In order to further improve the installation reliability of the window bracket, optionally, at least two clamping members 14 are provided, and at least two clamping members 14 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the clamping groove 113 .

[0105] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the mounting bracket also includes a hand-tightening member 15, and the hand-tightening member 15 includes a hand-tightening cap 151 and a stud 152. The stud 152 is penetrated and threadedly connected to the mounting portion 112, and one end of the stud 152 is connected to the clamping member 14, and the other end is connected to the hand-tightening cap 151. Specifically, the user rotates the hand-tightening cap 151 to drive the stud 152 to rotate, thereby adjusting the length of the stud 152 threaded into the clamping groove 113, and then adjusting the position of the clamping member 14 in the clamping groove 113. In this way, it is convenient for the user to operate the installation and fixation of the window bracket 11 on the window frame. Optionally, the clamping member 14 is configured as a rubber pad or a silicone pad. Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping member may also include a plurality of magnet pads, and the plurality of magnet pads can be selectively inserted into the clamping groove.
