[0040] The present utility model provides an air conditioner 10.

[0041] The air conditioner 10 of the present utility model can be a split air conditioner 10 that facilitates personal installation by users. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes 500 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 injects refrigerant into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when users install the equipment by themselves, they only need to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner respectively, without the need to assemble the refrigerant pipes and fill the refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by users. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner 10 of the present utility model can also be an ordinary split air conditioner 10.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 10 includes a mounting bracket 400, an outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and a safety rope 300. The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is installed on the mounting bracket 400; one end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and the other end is used to be connected to a fixed position.

[0043] Specifically, the mounting bracket 400 is the main structure for fixing the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. It is usually made of metal or high-strength engineering plastics, has sufficient strength and stability, and can bear the weight of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is responsible for discharging the indoor heat to the outside world, and at the same time inhaling the outside air for cooling circulation. The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is installed on the mounting bracket 400 and is installed in an outdoor environment such as outside a window, a railing, or the outer side of a wall through the mounting bracket 400. One end of the safety rope 300 is firmly connected to the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and the other end is connected to a fixed position, such as a wall, other fixed structures of a building, a piece of furniture with a fixed position, or the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. In this way, even in extreme environments (such as strong winds, heavy rains, heavy snows, etc.) or when the mounting bracket 400 becomes loose or damaged, the safety rope 300 can tighten the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, playing a protective role and preventing the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner from falling and causing serious injuries and damages.

[0044] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , one end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the mounting bracket 400, and the other end is used to be connected to a fixed position. In extreme environments, when the mounting bracket 400 becomes loose or damaged, the safety rope 300 can tighten the mounting bracket 400, playing a protective role and preventing the mounting bracket 400 from falling and causing serious injuries and damages.

[0045] In yet another embodiment, at least two safety ropes 300 are provided. One end of at least one of them is connected to the mounting bracket 400, and the other end is used to be connected to a fixed position; one end of at least one other safety rope 300 is connected to the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and the other end is used to be connected to a fixed position. These two fixed positions can be the same fixed position or different positions. Even if the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and the mounting bracket 400 are separated from each other, the safety rope 300 can tighten the corresponding outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and the mounting bracket 400, and both the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and the mounting bracket 400 can be protected simultaneously.

[0046] Of course, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can also be protected by other safety devices. For example, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can also be connected to the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner through the flexible refrigerant pipe 500. In this way, the safety rope 300 can prevent the mounting bracket 400 from falling, and the flexible refrigerant pipe 500 can prevent the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner from falling.

[0047] The technical solution of the present utility model connects one end of the safety rope 300 to the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and the other end to a fixed position, so that on the basis of the stable installation of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the mounting bracket 400, an additional hoisting is added through the safety rope 300, further ensuring the stability of the installation of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and providing an additional safety guarantee for the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, thereby reducing the risk of accidental falling of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and improving the safety of the installation of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. Or by connecting one end of the safety rope 300 to the mounting bracket 400 and the other end to a fixed position, the safety rope 300 can tighten the mounting bracket 400, thereby reducing the risk of accidental falling of the mounting bracket 400.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the air conditioner 10 further includes an indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner, and one end of the safety rope 300 connected to the fixed position is connected to the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner.

[0049] One end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and the other end is connected to the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. By using the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to provide a fixed position, an additional hoisting and protection are provided for the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the safety rope 300. Even if there is a problem with the mounting bracket 400, the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can also help maintain the stability of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the safety rope 300, reducing the risk of accidental detachment.

[0050] Connecting one end of the safety rope 300 connected to the fixed position to the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner makes the installation process simpler. During the installation process, the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can be directly used as an anchor point without the need to find or set additional fixed points, which not only avoids damage to the wall but also simplifies the steps of the installation operation and saves the cost of manual installation.

[0051] It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure the effectiveness of the protection of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner against the outdoor unit 100, the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner itself must be firmly installed on a sufficiently strong structure, or the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner itself is restricted from moving.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the air conditioner 10 further includes a fastening member, at least one of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is provided with a fastening member, and the safety rope 300 is fastened to the fastening member.

[0053] By being fastened to the fastening member, the safety rope 300 can be effectively and quickly connected to the indoor unit 200 or the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner without complicated installation steps or professional tools. Using standardized fastening members and the safety rope 300 can reduce the installation cost. At the same time, non-professionals can also easily complete the installation and disassembly of the safety rope 300 through the fastening member without professional installation skills or tools, reducing the dependence on professional installation services, thereby reducing the labor cost. In addition, the installation process is also simplified, and it is also convenient to replace the safety rope 300 during regular inspection and maintenance. The fastening member is usually made of high-strength materials and can withstand large tensile forces and impact forces, ensuring that the safety rope 300 can firmly fix the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner in case of an emergency (such as strong wind weather) to prevent it from falling off.

[0054] The fastening member can be provided only on the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner, or only on the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, or both the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner are provided with fastening members. In other embodiments, the safety rope 300 can also be connected to the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner by means of clamping members, welding, direct bundling, etc.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , at least one of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is provided with a receiving groove 210, and the fastening member includes a first fastening member 600 received in the receiving groove 210.

[0056] The presence of the receiving groove 210 allows the first fastening member 600 to be completely or partially hidden therein, which not only ensures that the first fastening member 600 is firmly fixed on the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and / or the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, avoiding loosening or damage due to collision or vibration during daily use, but also avoids the visual interference that the first fastening member 600 may bring when exposed, improving the aesthetics. At the same time, the receiving groove 210 also protects the first fastening member 600 from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture or physical damage. In addition, since the first fastening member 600 is safely stored in the receiving groove 210, it can effectively prevent the first fastening member 600 from becoming loose due to misoperation or external factors, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the safety rope 300 and further ensuring the safety of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the first fastening member 600 includes an intersecting fastening portion 610 and a mounting portion. The fastening portion 610 is exposed in the receiving groove 210 and is provided with a connection hole for connecting the safety rope 300. The mounting portion is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 210.

[0058] The mounting portion (not shown in the figure) is located inside the receiving groove 210 and is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 210 to ensure that the entire first fastening member 600 can be firmly fixed in the receiving groove 210. Specifically, the mounting portion is snapped onto the groove wall of the receiving groove 210 and is further fixedly connected by a fastener. In other embodiments, the mounting portion can also be fixedly connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 210 by welding. The fastening portion 610 is provided in the receiving groove 210 and can be exposed in the receiving groove 210. The connection hole on the fastening portion 610 is used for connecting the safety rope 300. The safety rope 300 can be directly tied to the fastening portion 610 through the connection hole or can be snapped onto the connection hole for easy installation and disassembly of the safety rope 300.

[0059] The fastening portion 610 and the mounting portion intersect to form an integral structure, making the first fastening member 600 generally in a "T" shape. The fastening portion 610 and the mounting portion intersect and are integrally formed, which not only makes the first fastening member 600 more stable as a whole, but also simplifies the installation process. During installation, only the entire first fastening member 600 needs to be positioned in the receiving groove 210, and then the stability of the first fastening member 600 is ensured by fixing the mounting portion, without separately processing the fastening portion 610 and the mounting portion. Of course, in order to further ensure the stability of the installation of the first fastening member 600, a limiting card slot is provided on the groove wall of the receiving groove 210 corresponding to the fastening portion 610 to limit the fastening portion 610, or the fastening portion 610 can also be welded after the mounting portion is installed.

[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2, the fastening member includes a second fastening member 700 provided on the outer surface of at least one of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0061] Compared with the first fastening member 600 that needs to be inserted into the receiving groove 210, the second fastening member 700 is easier to install. The second fastening member 700 can be directly fixed on the outer surface of the air conditioner, without machining the receiving groove 210 on the outer surfaces of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, thereby simplifying the processing flow and improving the processing efficiency.

[0062] The indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can both choose to install the first fastening member 600; or both choose to install the second fastening member 700; or one installs the first fastening member 600 and the other installs the second fastening member 700. For a single indoor unit 200 and outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, the first fastening member 600 and the second fastening member 700 can be used alternatively or together to provide double protection. Even if one type of fastening member fails or is damaged, the other type of fastening member can still achieve the connection with the safety rope 300, thereby reducing the risk of accidental detachment of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. Moreover, different types of fastening members may be more suitable for different types of safety ropes 300, which can improve the compatibility of connecting the safety rope 300.

[0063] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , at least one of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner includes a housing 110 and a connecting member 120 installed inside the housing 110. The connecting member 120 is connected to the second fastening member 700, and the housing 110 is provided with an installation through hole 111 for the second fastening member 700 to pass through.

[0064] The housings 110 of the indoor unit 200 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner are usually made of materials such as metal or plastic, which are used to protect the internal components and provide structural support. The connecting member 120 inside the housing 110 is used to connect the second fastening member 700. The connecting member 120 can be selected as a sheet metal part to have higher strength to ensure that it can withstand the pulling force of the safety rope 300 under various conditions. The housing 110 is provided with an installation through hole 111, and the second fastening member 700 passes through the installation through hole 111 and is connected to the connecting member 120 inside the housing 110, ensuring that the fixation of the second fastening member 700 not only depends on its connection with the surface of the housing 110, but also has the internal connecting member 120 as a support. Even under harsh weather conditions, it can ensure that the second fastening member 700 is not easily detached from the housing 110, thereby ensuring that the safety rope 300 will not become loose, greatly enhancing the overall stability and safety.

[0065] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 4, the outer surface of the housing 110 is provided with reinforcing ribs 112. The reinforcing ribs 112 are arranged outside the mounting through holes 111 and are disposed corresponding to the edges of the connecting member 120.

[0066] The reinforcing ribs 112 are arranged outside the mounting through holes 111 corresponding to the edges of the connecting member 120 to enhance the structural strength of this area, can significantly improve the compressive and tensile properties of the housing 110, can effectively disperse stress, reduce local stress concentration, and prevent the housing 110 from deforming or cracking around the mounting through holes 111 when the safety rope 300 is subjected to tension.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the second fastening member 700 is configured as a buckle, and the connecting member 120 is detachably connected to the buckle.

[0068] The second fastening member 700 adopts the form of a buckle to facilitate the quick connection and disconnection of the safety rope 300. With the detachable connection between the connecting member 120 and the buckle, the user can easily install or remove the safety rope 300 when needed without permanently fixing it to the housing 110. To adapt to the situation where the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 need to be maintained regularly or moved, or the need to adjust safety measures in different seasons. The connecting member 120 and the buckle can adopt threads, buckles or other reliable locking mechanisms to ensure the safety and durability of their connection.

[0069] In other embodiments, the connecting member 120 and the buckle can also be fixedly connected by welding or other means to ensure the stability of their connection.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when the second fastening member 700 is arranged on the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the connecting member 120 is configured as a fan mounting bracket of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. The fan mounting bracket is provided with a mounting flange 121 that abuts against the inner side of the housing 110. The mounting flange 121 is provided with a rivet nut 122 corresponding to the mounting through hole 111. The buckle is provided with a threaded post, and the threaded post passes through the mounting through hole 111 and is screwed to the rivet nut 122.

[0071] The installation flanging 121 can be in close contact with the inner side of the housing 110 of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, providing a stable support surface to facilitate the better installation of the connecting member 120 on the housing 110 and enhancing the fixing effect between the connecting member 120 and the housing 110. At the same time, the installation flanging 121 provides an installation position for the riveting nut 122 to facilitate the alignment of the riveting nut 122 with the installation through-hole 111 on the housing 110. The buckle is provided with a threaded post. The threaded post can smoothly pass through the installation through-hole 111 on the housing 110 and be screwed with the riveting nut 122 on the installation flanging 121 accurately. This threaded connection method between the buckle and the connecting member 120 not only provides sufficient connection strength to ensure the stability and safety of the connection between the safety rope 300 and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly process of the buckle and the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, reducing the maintenance cost.

[0072] The connecting member 120 is configured as a fan mounting bracket for the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. The fan mounting bracket has high strength, which can not only achieve the installation of the fan, but also serve as the connecting member 120 to connect with the buckle, saving the internal components of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0073] In other embodiments, the connecting member 120 may not be configured as a fan mounting bracket, but a sheet metal part may be used alone to withstand the pulling force of the safety rope 300 under various conditions, preventing the pulling force of the safety rope 300 from directly acting on the housing 110 and causing damage to the housing 110.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 , the buckling member includes a first buckling member 600 provided on the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and a second buckling member 700 provided on the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.
