Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting bracket and an air conditioner, which aims to improve the ease of installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a mounting bracket for installing an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the mounting bracket comprising:

[0005] The main support includes a load-bearing bracket extending along a first direction to the outer side of the window and having a near-window end close to the window; the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is mounted on the upper surface of the load-bearing bracket; and

[0006] A limiting component is movably mounted on the load-bearing bracket, and the limiting component can cooperate with the limiting position of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0007] In one embodiment, the limiting member is positioned to abut against the side of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner near the window.

[0008] In one embodiment, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing and a first bracket. The first bracket protrudes from the side of the housing near the window end. During the process of placing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from top to bottom onto the load-bearing bracket, the limiting member is limited and connected to the first bracket.

[0009] In one embodiment, the limiting member includes an elastic member and a limiting portion connected to the elastic member. The first bracket is provided with a limiting hole corresponding to the limiting portion, and the limiting portion can be inserted into the limiting hole under the action of the elastic member.

[0010] In one embodiment, the main support further includes a sleeve disposed on the load-bearing support, the elastic element is disposed inside the sleeve, and the limiting part is capable of extending and retracting at the opening of the sleeve.

[0011] In one embodiment, the main support further includes a base disposed on the upper side of the load-bearing support. The base and the first support are distributed sequentially at intervals along the first direction. The sleeve is installed above the load-bearing support through the base and is disposed at the interval between the base and the first support.

[0012] In one embodiment, the limiting portion can be inserted into the limiting hole along the first direction, and the first bracket has a guide surface on the lower edge of the side near the limiting member, the guide surface extending downward in the first direction.

[0013] In one embodiment, the end face of the sleeve is positioned to abut against the side of the first bracket near the window end.

[0014] In one embodiment, one of the housing and the load-bearing bracket is provided with a pin, and the other is provided with a corresponding matching pin hole. The pin can be inserted into the pin hole in the up-down direction, and the pin hole is located on the side of the limiting member away from the end near the window.

[0015] In one embodiment, the limiting member is rotatably connected to the load-bearing bracket and has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the limiting member avoids the outdoor unit of the air conditioner so that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be placed on the load-bearing bracket and moved to a fixed position along the first direction. In the second state, the limiting member abuts against the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0016] In one embodiment, one end of the limiting member is rotatably connected to the side of the load-bearing bracket, and the axis of rotation is parallel to the first direction, so that the limiting member can rotate to the side of the load-bearing bracket in the first state and rotate to the top of the load-bearing bracket in the second state.

[0017] In one embodiment, the limiting member includes a first rod portion and a second rod portion connected to each other. The first rod portion is rotatably connected to the load-bearing bracket, and the second rod portion includes an intersecting main rod segment and a connecting rod segment.

In the second state, the main rod segment is located above the load-bearing bracket and abuts against the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0018] In one embodiment, the second rod portion further includes an insertion rod segment opposite to the connecting rod segment. The load-bearing bracket is provided with an insertion hole corresponding to the insertion rod segment. The insertion rod segment is connected to the end of the main rod segment away from the connecting rod segment and can be inserted into the insertion hole in the second state.

[0019] In one embodiment, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing, and in the second state, the main rod section abuts against the side of the housing near the window end.

[0020] In one embodiment, the load-bearing bracket is provided with a mounting through hole, and the bottom of the outdoor air conditioner unit is provided with a stop portion corresponding to the mounting through hole. When the outdoor air conditioner unit moves to a fixed position on the load-bearing bracket along the first direction, the stop portion abuts against the edge of the mounting through hole at the end away from the window.

[0021] In one embodiment, the stop portion has a stop opening on the side away from the near window end, and the edge of the mounting through hole is adapted to be inserted into the stop opening and abuts against the bottom surface of the stop opening.

[0022] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and the aforementioned mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket is used to install the outdoor unit on the outside of a window.

[0023] In this invention, a limiting component is used to limit and connect with the outdoor unit of the air conditioner after it has been placed in position, allowing the outdoor unit to be quickly and securely fixed in that position, thus achieving the installation and fixation of the outdoor unit on the mounting bracket.

[0043] Mounting brackets for air conditioner outdoor units are typically installed with one end in the window frame and the other end extending outside the window to support the outdoor unit. The upper surface of the bracket usually has an upward-protruding pin, and the outdoor unit has a corresponding pin hole for inserting the pin. Finally, bolts are used to secure the outdoor unit to the mounting bracket. This installation method requires users to have tools such as wrenches and requires them to lean out of the window to observe and tighten the bolts, making the installation of the outdoor unit inconvenient.

[0044] In view of this, the present invention proposes a mounting bracket for installing an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, which can improve the ease of installation of the outdoor unit.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the mounting bracket of this utility model, the mounting bracket 101 includes:

[0046] The main support 10 includes a load-bearing support 12, which extends along a first direction to the outer side of the window and has a near-window end. The outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner is disposed on the upper surface of the load-bearing support 12.

[0047] The limiting component 30 is movably mounted on the load-bearing bracket 12, and the limiting component 30 can cooperate with the limiting of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner.

[0048] In this utility model, the limiting member 30 is used to limit and connect with the outdoor unit 102 after it is placed in position, so that the outdoor unit 102 can be quickly constrained in that position, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the outdoor unit 102 on the mounting bracket 101. This installation process does not require the use of tools such as wrenches, nor does it require tightening bolts, thus improving the ease of installation of the outdoor unit 102.

[0049] It is understood that the air conditioner of this utility model can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install themselves. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 102, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when users install the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 102 separately, without the need to install refrigerant pipes and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and realizing personal installation.

[0050] However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of this utility model can also be a common split air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner, such as a window air conditioner integrated unit. In this case, the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outside.

[0051] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a compressor (not shown in the attached drawings), which is located in the indoor unit and connected to the outdoor heat exchanger via a flexible refrigerant pipe. This reduces the weight of the outdoor unit 102, making it easier for users to install it themselves. Optionally, the indoor unit also includes a noise reduction structure corresponding to the compressor. For example, the noise reduction structure may include sound-absorbing cotton surrounding the compressor; this application does not specifically limit this. This reduces the operating noise of the compressor and the indoor unit, thereby improving the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor may be located in the outdoor unit 102.

[0052] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes an electrical control box (not shown in the attached drawings), which is located in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. This further reduces the weight of the outdoor unit 102, making it easier for users to install the outdoor unit 102 themselves. Of course, in other embodiments, the electrical control box can also be located in the outdoor unit 102.

[0053] In one embodiment, the main support 10 further includes a window mounting bracket 11 connected to the load-bearing support 12, and the window mounting bracket 11 can be installed on the window frame 103. Thus, by installing the window mounting bracket 11 on the structurally strong window frame 103, the installation of the bracket 101 is facilitated, and the installation reliability of the bracket 101 is improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the window mounting bracket 11 can also be installed on the wall of the window, or on an inner or outer wall.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 or Figure 8 In some embodiments, the limiting member 30 is positioned and abuts against the side of the outdoor unit 102 near the window. Thus, the limiting member 30 prevents the outdoor unit 102 from moving in the opposite direction along the first direction, thereby achieving a limiting and fixing effect on the outdoor unit 102 in the first direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting member 30 may also be connected to other areas of the outdoor unit 102 for limiting purposes; for example, the limiting member 30 may be rotatably engaged on the left or right sides of the outdoor unit 102.

[0055] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, optionally, the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner includes a casing and a first bracket 20. The first bracket 20 protrudes from the side of the casing near the window. During the process of placing the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner from top to bottom onto the load-bearing bracket 12, the limiting member 30 is connected to the first bracket 20 for limiting connection. In this way, the first bracket 20 protrudes from the side of the casing near the window, making it convenient for the user to observe whether the limiting member 30 and the first bracket 20 are properly connected, thereby ensuring the installation reliability of the outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, the first bracket 20 may not be provided, and the limiting member 30 may directly abut or engage with the side of the casing near the window.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, optionally, the limiting member 30 includes an elastic member 312 and a limiting portion 311 connecting the elastic member 312. The first bracket 20 is provided with a limiting hole 211 corresponding to the limiting portion 311, and the limiting portion 311 can be inserted into the limiting hole 211 under the action of the elastic member 312. In this way, the limiting portion 311 can automatically be limited and connected to the first bracket 20 by the elastic member 312, thereby saving user operation and further improving the ease of installation. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic member 312 may not be provided.

[0057] In one embodiment, the main support 10 may optionally include a sleeve 313 disposed on the load-bearing support 12, with an elastic element 312 disposed within the sleeve 313, and a limiting part 311 capable of extending and retracting at the opening of the sleeve 313. Optionally, the elastic element 312 may be configured as a compression spring. Thus, the sleeve 313 facilitates the installation and protection of the elastic element 312 and provides guidance for the displacement of the limiting part 311, thereby improving the smoothness of insertion and removal of the limiting part 311 in the limiting hole 211. Of course, in other embodiments, the sleeve 313 may be omitted, and the elastic element 312 may be directly disposed on the load-bearing support 12; for example, the elastic element 312 may be configured as a spring steel sheet.

[0058] In one embodiment, the main support 10 may optionally include a base 14 disposed on the upper side of the load-bearing support 12. The base 14 and the first support 20 are distributed sequentially at intervals along a first direction. The sleeve 313 is installed above the load-bearing support 12 through the base 14 and is disposed at the interval between the base 14 and the first support 20. In this way, by suspending the sleeve 313 on the load-bearing support 12 through the base 14, the limiting part 311 can be closer to the center of gravity of the outdoor unit 102 in the height direction, thereby improving the restraining effect of the limiting part 311 and the limiting hole 211, and thus improving the installation stability of the outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, the base 14 may not be provided.

[0059] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, optionally, the limiting part 311 can be inserted into the limiting hole 211 along the first direction. The first bracket 20 has a guide surface 212 on the lower edge of its side near the limiting member 30, and the guide surface 212 extends downward in the first direction. Specifically, during the process of placing the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner from top to bottom onto the load-bearing bracket 12, the guide surface 212 first contacts the limiting part 311 and gradually pushes the limiting part 311 against the sleeve 313, while simultaneously increasing the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 312. When the first bracket 20 continues to move downward and the limiting hole 211 aligns with the limiting part 311, the limiting part 311 extends out of the sleeve 313 and inserts into the limiting hole 211 under the action of the elastic member 312, thereby realizing the automatic limiting fit between the limiting part 311 and the limiting hole 211. In this way, the guide surface 212 can play a good guiding role, so that the limiting part 311 can be inserted into the limiting hole 211 more smoothly. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide surface 212 may not be provided.

[0060] In one embodiment, optionally, the end face of the sleeve 313 is positioned and abuts against the side of the first bracket 20 near the window. Thus, since the sleeve 313 is relatively fixedly mounted on the load-bearing bracket 12 via the base 14, the end face of the sleeve 313 effectively limits and fixes the first bracket 20, preventing it from moving in the opposite direction. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the peripheral side of the limiting portion 311 and the wall of the limiting hole 211 may have matching stepped surfaces, with the two stepped surfaces abutting against each other in the first direction.

[0061] In one embodiment, optionally, one of the outdoor unit 102 and the support bracket 12 is provided with a pin, and the other is provided with a corresponding matching pin hole 131. The pin can be inserted into the pin hole 131 in a vertical direction, and the pin hole 131 is located on the side of the limiting member 30 away from the window end. In this way, the pin and the pin hole 131 cooperate to play a guiding and positioning role, so that the outdoor unit 102 can be placed on the support bracket 12 from top to bottom, and the limiting part 311 can more easily automatically align with the limiting hole 211. Furthermore, after the pin is inserted into the pin hole 131, it can limit the displacement of the outdoor unit 102 in the first direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the pin and the pin hole 131 may not be provided.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, optionally, the main support 10 further includes a second support 13 connected to the end of the load-bearing support 12 furthest from the window. The second support 13 is provided with pin holes 131 or pins, and two limiting members 30 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Optionally, in this embodiment, the second support 13 is provided with pin holes 131. In this way, the two limiting members 30 and the pin holes 131 form a roughly triangular position to better limit the displacement and sway of the outdoor unit 102 in the front-back and left-right directions, thereby improving the installation stability of the outdoor unit 102. Of course, in other embodiments, only one limiting member 30 may be provided, while two pin holes 131 may be provided.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 or Figure 6 In some embodiments, the main support 10 further includes a second support 13 disposed on the load-bearing support 12. The second support 13 at least partially protrudes from the upper surface of the load-bearing support 12 and is located on the side of the outdoor unit 102 away from the window. Thus, the second support 13 can prevent the outdoor unit 102 from accidentally detaching from the front end of the load-bearing support 12 while moving along the first direction (i.e., the direction from back to front as shown in the figure), thereby improving safety. That is, the second support 13 also serves to restrict the movement of the outdoor unit 102 along the first direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the second support 13 may not be provided.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 or Figure 6 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 101 further includes a support bracket 50, the upper end of which is connected to the load-bearing bracket 12, and the lower end of which can be supported on the exterior wall. This allows additional support force to be obtained from the exterior wall via the support bracket 50, thereby improving the installation reliability and stability of the main bracket 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the support bracket 50 may not be provided; for example, a pad may be used between the load-bearing bracket 12 and the window sill.

[0065] Please see Figure 5 or Figure 10 In some embodiments, optionally, the lower side of the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121, and the upper end of the support bracket 50 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 121 along a first direction. Thus, the support bracket 50 can adjust its installation position on the load-bearing bracket 12 along the first direction, making the position of the abutting end face of the support bracket 50 for supporting the exterior wall and / or window sill relative to the window mounting bracket 11 adjustable. That is, the distance between the abutting end face of the support bracket 50 and the window mounting bracket 11 is adjustable, and this adjustable distance can adapt to window sills of different widths. This allows the user to easily adjust the installation position of the support bracket 50 on the main bracket 10, so that the support bracket 50 abuts well against the exterior wall and / or window sill, and the mounting bracket 101 can adapt well to different window sill widths.

[0066] Specifically, please refer to Figure 11 The mounting groove 121 can be provided with multiple mounting holes spaced apart along a first direction. The support bracket 50 can be installed in one of the multiple mounting holes through a structure such as bolts and nuts, so as to realize the movement and position adjustment of the support bracket 50 on the mounting groove 121. The relevant technology is relatively mature, so it will not be described in detail in this application.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 Optionally, in one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a base 80 rotatably mounted on the support bracket 20. The plate surface of the base 80 intersects with the first direction, and the base 80 is used to abut against the exterior wall surface. Specifically, the base 80 is rotatably mounted on the support bracket 20 by a hexagonal head bolt or pin. In this way, the base 80 can adapt to exterior wall surfaces with inclination angles. That is, when the exterior wall surface is not vertical, the base 80 can freely rotate to a posture that fits the exterior wall surface better, thereby increasing the contact surface area between the base 80 and the exterior wall surface.

[0068] It is understood that the structural form of the limiting member 30 is not limited to the embodiment containing the elastic member 312 described above, and may also be in other forms. For example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 6 to 10In another embodiment, the limiting member 30 is rotatably connected to the load-bearing bracket 12 and has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the limiting member 30 avoids the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 so that the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 can be placed on the load-bearing bracket 12 and moved to a fixed position along the first direction. In the second state, the limiting member 30 abuts against the air conditioner outdoor unit 102.

[0069] Specifically, before the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner is lifted out of the window and placed on the load-bearing bracket 12, the limiting member 30 is first adjusted to a first state to avoid obstructing the outdoor unit 102 and to allow the outdoor unit 102 to move to a fixed position in a first direction. Then, the limiting member 30 is adjusted to a second state so that it can abut against the outdoor unit 102. This structure is simple and easy to implement. Furthermore, the limiting member 30 rotates on the end of the load-bearing bracket 12 near the window, making it very close to the window. This facilitates user observation and operation of the limiting member 30, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0070] It should be noted that, Figures 6 to 10 The two limiting members 30 shown are in the second state (left) and the first state (right), to illustrate their structural and positional relationship. It is understood that, in order for both limiting members 30 to function effectively, they will be preferentially adjusted to the second state during actual use.

[0071] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the limiting member 30 and the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner establish a limiting connection based on the outdoor unit 102 moving to a fixed position along the first direction on the load-bearing bracket 12. Therefore, this installation operation method allows the outdoor unit 102 to be placed on the load-bearing bracket 12 first, and then the limiting member 30 to be operated, thereby achieving a labor-saving effect by utilizing the supporting effect of the load-bearing bracket 12. In this way, the problem of laborious installation of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner can be improved, and the ease of installation of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner can be enhanced.

[0072] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 10 In another embodiment, optionally, one end of the limiting member 30 is rotatably connected to the side of the load-bearing bracket 12, and the axis of rotation is parallel to the first direction, so that the limiting member 30 can rotate to the side of the load-bearing bracket 12 in the first state and rotate to the top of the load-bearing bracket 12 in the second state. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0073] Please see Figure 8In another embodiment, optionally, the limiting member 30 includes a first rod portion 321 and a second rod portion 322 connected together. The first rod portion 321 is rotatably connected to the load-bearing bracket 12. The second rod portion 322 includes an intersecting main rod segment 323 and a connecting rod segment 324. One end of the connecting rod segment 324 is connected to the main rod segment 323, and the other end of the connecting rod segment 324 is connected to the first rod portion 321. In the second state, the main rod segment 323 is located above the load-bearing bracket 12 and abuts against the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0074] Please refer to the following: Figure 10 In another embodiment, optionally, the second rod portion 322 further includes an insertion rod portion 325 opposite to the connecting rod portion 324. The load-bearing bracket 12 has an insertion hole 124 corresponding to the insertion rod portion 325. The insertion rod portion 325 is connected to the end of the main rod portion 323 away from the connecting rod portion 324 and can be inserted into the insertion hole 124 in the second state. Thus, the second rod portion 322 has a generally U-shaped structure, and the insertion rod portion 325 cooperates with the insertion hole 124, which can reduce the occurrence of the second rod portion 322 accidentally disengaging from the second state.

[0075] In another embodiment, optionally, an elastic rubber ring 326 is fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion rod segment 325. The elastic rubber ring 326 can be interference-fitted with the wall surface of the insertion hole 124, thereby reducing the risk of the insertion rod segment 325 accidentally dislodging from the insertion hole 124, that is, ensuring that the insertion rod segment 325 can remain in the second state. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic rubber ring 326 may not be provided.

[0076] Please see Figure 8 In another embodiment, optionally, the outdoor unit 102 includes a housing, and in the second state, the main rod section 323 abuts against the side of the housing near the window end. Thus, the main rod section 323 directly abuts against the rear side of the housing, eliminating the need for an additional structure to cooperate with the limiting member 30 in the outdoor unit 102, which simplifies the structure of the outdoor unit 102.

[0077] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 11In another embodiment, optionally, the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a mounting through hole 123, and the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 is provided with a stop portion 222 corresponding to the mounting through hole 123. When the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 moves to a fixed position on the load-bearing bracket 12 along the first direction, the stop portion 222 abuts against the edge of the mounting through hole 123 away from the window. Thus, by the edge of the mounting through hole 123 abutting against the bottom surface of the stop opening 223, the stop portion 222 restricts the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 from continuing to move along the first direction. At the same time, the limiting member 30 is responsible for restricting the movement of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 in the opposite direction to the first direction, thereby jointly achieving the positional constraint of the air conditioner outdoor unit 102 in the front-back direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the stop portion 222 and the mounting through hole 123 may not be provided.

[0078] Please refer to the following: Figure 12 In another embodiment, optionally, the stop portion 222 has a stop opening 223 on the side away from the near window end. The edge of the mounting through hole 123 is adapted to be inserted into the stop opening 223 and abuts against the bottom surface of the stop opening 223. In this way, the two sides of the stop opening 223 abut against the upper and lower sides of the edge of the mounting through hole 123, respectively, thereby providing additional constraint in the vertical direction to prevent the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner from accidentally tilting or even tipping over on the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby improving the installation reliability of the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner. Of course, in other embodiments, the stop opening 223 may not be provided.

[0079] In another embodiment, optionally, the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner includes a casing and a first bracket 20 disposed at the bottom of the casing. The lower side of the first bracket 20 is provided with a mounting groove 221 extending along a first direction. The first bracket 20 is fitted onto the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12 through the mounting groove 221, and a stop portion 222 protrudes from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 221. Thus, the load-bearing bracket 12 is at least partially located within the mounting groove 221, allowing the load-bearing bracket 12 to be constrained in the left-right direction by the two sidewalls of the mounting groove 221. In other words, the cooperation between the load-bearing bracket 12 and the sidewalls of the mounting groove 221 prevents the first bracket 20 from shifting left or right when moving along the first direction. That is, the cooperation between the load-bearing bracket 12 and the sidewalls of the mounting groove 221 provides a guiding function.

[0080] It is understood that before the outdoor unit 102 of the air conditioner is placed on the load-bearing bracket 12, the limiting member 30 is first rotated to the side of the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby allowing the first bracket 20 to be inserted into the mounting through hole 123. When the first bracket 20 is inserted into the mounting through hole 123 and moves in the first direction until it reaches the fixed position of the outdoor unit, the limiting member 30 is then rotated to the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12, and the insertion rod section 325 is inserted into the insertion hole 124, so that the second rod part 322 of the limiting member 30 abuts against the casing, thereby limiting the displacement of the outdoor unit 102 in the front-to-back direction. At the same time, the edge of the mounting through hole 123 away from the window mounting bracket 11 is inserted into the stop opening 223, and the edge of the mounting through hole 123 is used to limit the displacement of the first bracket 20 in the back-to-forward direction and the up-and-down direction, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the outdoor unit 102.
