[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides a mounting structure to solve the problem of inconvenience in installing the air conditioner indoor unit 1 in different scenarios.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 1 As shown, the mounting structure includes a support frame 2 and a hanging assembly 4. The support frame 2 includes a support portion 21 and a wall-mounting portion 22. One end of the support portion 21 is connected to the wall-mounting portion 22. The support portion 21 is configured to support the air conditioner indoor unit 1. Supporting the air conditioner indoor unit 1 here means providing an upward support force to the air conditioner indoor unit 1 and maintaining it in a certain position. Supporting the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can be achieved by inserting it into the air conditioner indoor unit 1 or by supporting the bottom of the air conditioner indoor unit 1. The wall-mounting portion 22 is configured to be fixed to a wall 5 of a building. Here, the wall-mounting portion 22 can be fixed to the wall 5 using expansion bolts.

[0030] The hanging assembly 4 is detachably connected to the support portion 21 and is configured to be fixed to the ceiling 6 of the building. Here, the detachable connection can refer to conventional methods such as threaded connection, snap connection, pin connection, and key connection.

[0031] By setting up the support frame 2 and the hanging assembly 4, you can choose to use the support frame 2 to achieve wall-mounted installation of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1, or you can choose to use the support part 21 as a fixed position of the hanging assembly 4, and further use the hanging assembly 4 to fix the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 to the building ceiling 6 to achieve ceiling installation of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1. The installer can choose a suitable installation method according to different scenes and the conditions of the wall 5 and ceiling 6, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is provided with a slot 11, into which the support portion 21 is inserted to support the air conditioner indoor unit 1. Here, the slot 11 is a groove hidden within the air conditioner indoor unit 1, with one end exposed on the outer surface of the air conditioner indoor unit 1. The slot 11 can extend along the length, width, or height of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, and can even extend at an angle of 30 degrees, 60 degrees, or other angles with any surface of the air conditioner indoor unit 1. In this embodiment, the slot 11 preferably extends along the thickness direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, with one end of the slot 11 exposed on the back surface of the air conditioner indoor unit 1. The thickness direction refers to the direction from the front of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 to the opposite back surface.

[0033] In the related art, after the bracket and the air conditioner indoor unit 1 are assembled, the bracket is usually fixed to the wall 5 using fasteners. However, the space between the bracket, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 and the wall 5 is often insufficient for the installer to fix the bracket. During installation, the wall mounting portion 22 can be first fixed to the wall 5, and then the slot 11 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is aligned with the support portion 21. The air conditioner indoor unit 1 is then pushed toward the wall 5 to insert it into the support portion 21, thereby completing the installation. This can solve the problem of difficult bracket fixing in the related art and ensure that the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is reliably supported.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is provided with a mounting hole 12, which communicates with the slot 11.
