[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0028] See also Figure 1 A mounting structure for an outdoor air conditioner unit in a building comprises an exterior building wall 1, with an air conditioner niche 2 cast into the exterior wall surface. One side of the niche 2 is open, and an exterior unit body 14 is housed within the niche. A louver 3 is removably mounted on the open end of the niche 2. The inner bottom wall of the niche 2 is provided with a slope 4 that slopes downward toward the outdoors, with a gradient of 5%.

[0029] During the construction of the building exterior wall 1, the air conditioning niche 2 is cast on the exterior wall surface of the building exterior wall 1 according to the construction drawings. When the outdoor unit body 14 needs to be installed, the shutters 3 are opened, and then the outdoor unit body 14 is placed in the air conditioning niche 2. Finally, the shutters 3 are closed to complete the installation of the outdoor unit body 14.

[0030] See also Figure 1 To prevent rainwater temporarily trapped in the air conditioning niche 2 from seeping into the building's exterior wall 1, a ridge 5 is cast at the corner where the building's exterior wall 1 meets the air conditioning niche 2. The ridge 5 is 200 mm high. The combined effect of the ridge 5 and the slope 4 facilitates the drainage of rainwater temporarily trapped in the air conditioning niche 2 along the slope 4 and out of the niche 2.

[0031] See also Figure 1A reserved hole 6 is provided through the wall surface of the building exterior wall 1 , the reserved hole 6 is connected to the air-conditioning niche 2 , and a sleeve 7 is fixedly installed in the reserved hole 6 .

[0032] The indoor space is connected to the air conditioning niche 2 via a pre-set hole 6. During the construction of the pre-set hole 6, a sleeve 7 is pre-buried within it. When the pipes connecting the indoor air conditioner to the outdoor unit 14 are needed, they are extended into the room through the sleeve 7. During this process, the sleeve 7 protects the pipes in the outdoor unit 14, preventing expansion, contraction, and stretching, deformation, and displacement.

[0033] See also Figure 1 The inner top wall of the air-conditioning niche 2 is fixedly connected with a drip line 8, and the drip line 8 is located at the open end of the air-conditioning niche 2.

[0034] When rainwater drips down along the wall of the building exterior wall 1 , the drip line 8 blocks the rainwater, preventing the rainwater from seeping into the air-conditioning niche 2 along the inner wall of the air-conditioning niche 2 .

[0035] See also Figure 2 In order to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the shutter 3, the shutter 3 is symmetrically fixed with fixing ears 9 on both sides, and there are four fixing ears 9. A fixing bolt 10 runs through the fixing ear 9, and the fixing bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the air conditioning niche 2.

[0036] To close the blinds 3, first place them on the open end of the air conditioning niche 2. Then, secure the blinds 3 with the fixing bolts 10, which penetrate the securing lugs 9 and are screwed onto the inner wall of the niche 2. The blinds 3 are now secured to the open end of the niche 2. To open the blinds 3, loosen and remove the securing bolts 10, and finally remove the blinds 3. This completes the process of disassembling and assembling the blinds 3.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that see Figure 1 A drainage gap 11 is reserved between the bottom of the louver 3 and the inner bottom wall of the air conditioning niche 2. The height of the drainage gap 11 is 20 mm to 30 mm. In this embodiment, the height of the drainage gap 11 is 20 mm. The drainage gap 11 ensures that rainwater that has seeped into the air conditioning niche 2 is drained out of the niche 2.

[0038] See also Figure 1 A triangular bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the air-conditioning niche 2, and the triangular bracket 12 is used to support the external unit body 14.

[0039] When placing the outdoor unit body in the air conditioning niche 2, first fix the triangular bracket 12 to the inner bottom wall of the air conditioning niche 2 with bolts, then adjust the levelness of the triangular bracket 12, and finally place the outdoor unit body on the top surface of the triangular bracket 12. This helps to ensure that the outdoor unit body is placed flat and improves the stability of operation.

[0040] It is worth noting that see Figure 1 The building exterior wall 1 and the inner wall of the air-conditioning niche 2 are both pasted and fixed with exterior wall finishing 13, ensuring the uniformity of the color structure of the building facade.

[0041] The working principle of an installation structure for an outdoor air conditioner in a building:

[0042] During construction of the building's exterior wall 1, the air conditioning niche 2 is cast onto the exterior surface of the building's exterior wall 1 according to the construction drawings. When it's time to install the exterior unit 14, loosen and remove the fixing bolts 10, then remove the louvers 3. Next, secure the triangular bracket 12 to the inner bottom wall of the air conditioning niche 2 with bolts. Adjust the level of the triangular bracket 12, and then place the exterior unit on top of the triangular bracket 12. The piping for the exterior unit 14 is then inserted into the room through the sleeve 7. Finally, reposition the louvers 3 using the fixing bolts 10, completing the installation of the exterior unit 14.

[0043] To sum up, under the protection of the air-conditioning niche 2 and the blinds 3, direct sunlight and rain are reduced. When rainwater penetrates into the air-conditioning niche 2 through the building exterior wall 1, the rainwater eventually flows out of the air-conditioning niche 2 along the slope 4, maintaining the dryness inside the air-conditioning niche 2, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
