[0037] 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. After the outdoor unit is placed on the bracket, it is usually secured with bolts or pins. However, in existing technology, the outdoor unit is usually positioned on its left or right sides or bottom, requiring the user to lean out of the window to install the bolts or pins. This process is clearly inconvenient. Especially when the support bracket extends too far outwards and the outdoor unit is too far from the window, the user needs to extend a significant portion of their body out, increasing the risk of accidental falls.

[0038] In view of this, the present invention proposes a mounting bracket assembly for the installation of an outdoor air conditioner unit, which can improve the ease of installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In the first embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket assembly includes:

[0040] The main support 10 includes a load-bearing support 12 extending along a first direction to the outer side of the window and having a near-window end. The outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner is located on the upper side of the load-bearing support 12.

[0041] The first bracket 20 is provided on the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner and includes a mounting part 21. The mounting part 21 is exposed on the side of the outdoor unit 30 near the window and is installed on the load-bearing bracket 12 by the first fastener 103.

[0042] In this utility model, since the installation part 21 is exposed on the side of the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner near the window, the user does not need to stick their head and body out of the window too much when using the first fastener 103 to install and fix the installation part 21. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to operate and improves the safety of the user when performing installation work.

[0043] The first fastener 103 is configured as at least one of the following: rope, Velcro, chain, cable tie, bolt, clip, and rivet. It should be noted that the first fastener 103 may be sold and configured with the mounting bracket 101 at the factory, or it may be purchased and equipped by the user independently. That is, the mounting bracket 101 may be sold with or without the first fastener 103. For example, when the first fastener 103 is a rope or cable tie, it can be purchased and equipped by the user.

[0044] 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 30, 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 30 separately, without the need to install refrigerant pipes and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling users to install it themselves.

[0045] 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 30 of the air conditioner refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outside.

[0046] 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 30, making it easier for users to install. Optionally, the indoor unit also includes a noise reduction structure corresponding to the compressor, such as 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 30.

[0047] 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 30, making it easier for users to install the outdoor unit 30 themselves. Of course, in other embodiments, the electrical control box can also be located in the outdoor unit 30.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 or Figure 6 In some embodiments, 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 the inner or outer wall surface.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 or Figure 7In some embodiments, the first bracket 20 further includes a connecting portion 22 for connecting the mounting portion 21, the connecting portion 22 being located on the lower side of the outdoor unit 30 or on the side near the window. Thus, by installing the connecting portion 22 in these two areas of the outdoor unit 30, the structural span of the mounting portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 is reduced, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the first bracket 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting portion 22 may also be located on the left or right side of the outdoor unit 30, etc.

[0050] Without loss of generality, the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner includes a chassis 32 and a side housing 31 disposed around the chassis 32, and the outdoor heat exchanger is disposed in the cavity enclosed by the chassis 32 and the side housing 31.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, optionally, the lower side of the chassis 32 abuts against the load-bearing bracket 12 and is provided with a receiving groove 321 for mounting the connecting part 22. The first bracket 20 also includes a bent portion 23 connecting the mounting part 21 and the connecting part 22. The mounting part 21 is located on the side of the bent portion 23 away from the chassis 32 and abuts against the load-bearing bracket 12. The connecting part 22 is spaced apart from the load-bearing bracket 12. In this way, on the one hand, the bending portion 23 can improve the structural strength and rigidity of the first bracket 20, which is conducive to the effective transmission of the supporting force from the load-bearing bracket 12 to the chassis 32. On the other hand, the spaced-apart arrangement of the connecting part 22 and the load-bearing bracket 12 can avoid over-positioning, thereby facilitating the mounting part 21 to better fit against the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the bending portion 23 may not be provided, and the first bracket 20 may be provided with a flat plate structure.

[0052] Optionally, the connecting part 22 is fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 321 by welding or riveting. It is understood that when the connecting part 22 is installed on the chassis 32 using bolts or rivets, the head of the bolt or rivet can be accommodated in the gap between the connecting part 22 and the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby ensuring that the mounting part 21 effectively abuts against the load-bearing bracket 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting part 22 can also be fixed to the chassis 32 by welding.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5In one embodiment, optionally, the mounting portion 21 includes a main board segment 211 and two opposing side plate segments 212 disposed on opposite sides of the main board segment 211. The side plate segments 212 and the main board segment 211 together define a limiting groove 213. The load-bearing bracket 12 is at least partially housed within the limiting groove 213, and the main board segment 211 abuts against the load-bearing bracket 12. That is, the mounting portion 21 has a generally U-shaped bracket structure and is fastened onto the load-bearing bracket 12. In this way, the sidewalls of the limiting groove 213, i.e., the two side plate segments 212, are clamped on the left and right sides of the load-bearing bracket 12, which can limit the left and right swaying of the first bracket 20 on the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby improving the installation stability of the first bracket 20 and the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner. Of course, in other embodiments, the side plate segments 212 may be omitted and only the main board segment 211 may be provided.

[0054] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The two first supports 20 shown have different structural forms. The first support 20 on the left has a side plate segment 212, while the first support 20 on the right does not. This facilitates the alignment and installation of both first supports 20 on the load-bearing bracket. Of course, in other embodiments, the two supports 20 can also be configured with the same structure, for example, both can be configured with a side plate segment 212, or both can be configured without a side plate segment 212.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 or Figure 10 In some embodiments, optionally, the mounting part 21 is provided with a first through hole 214, and the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a corresponding second through hole 122. The first through hole 214 is mounted on the second through hole 122 by a first fastener 103. This results in a simple structure that is easy to implement and install. See also... Figure 1 In one embodiment, optionally, the first fastener 103 is configured as a rope or cable tie, and two first through holes 214 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, with the first fastener 103 installed in a one-to-one correspondence with the first through holes 214. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 In another embodiment, the first fastener 103 is configured as a hand-tightening bolt.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting structure of the mounting part 21 and the load-bearing bracket 12 can also be in other forms. For example, the mounting part 21 is provided with a protruding post, and the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a corresponding insertion hole. After the protruding post is inserted into the insertion hole from top to bottom, one end of it passing through the insertion hole is fixed by a first fastener 103 such as a clamp.

[0057] Please see Figure 4 or Figure 8In some embodiments, one of the outdoor unit 30 and the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a pin 33, and the other is provided with a corresponding matching pin hole 14. The pin 33 can be inserted into the pin hole 14 in a vertical direction. It can be understood that when the pin 33 is provided on the outdoor unit 30, the pin 33 is inserted into the pin hole 14 in a vertical direction; when the pin 33 is provided on the load-bearing bracket 12, although the pin 33 is stationary relative to the window, the pin 33 has displacement relative to the pin hole 14, so it can be understood that it is inserted into the pin hole 14 in a bottom-up direction.

[0058] Thus, during the process of placing the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner onto the load-bearing bracket 12 from top to bottom, the pin 33 and the pin hole 14 cooperate to act as a guide, making it easier for the first through hole 214 to automatically align with the second through hole 122 after the outdoor unit 30 is placed in place. This eliminates the need for the user to manually adjust the position of the outdoor unit 30, allowing the first bracket 20 to be directly fixed using the first fastener 103. Furthermore, the pin 33 and the pin hole 14 also serve a positioning function; after the pin 33 is inserted into the pin hole 14, it can limit the displacement of the outdoor unit 30 in the first direction and the left-right direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the pin 33 and the pin hole 14 may not be provided.

[0059] In some embodiments, optionally, two load-bearing brackets 12 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The main bracket 10 also includes a second bracket 13 connecting the ends of the two load-bearing brackets 12 away from the window. The window-near ends of the load-bearing brackets 12 and the second bracket 13 are provided with pin holes 14 and / or pins 33. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the load-bearing brackets 12 and the second bracket 13 are provided with pin holes 14. Thus, the three pin holes 14 form a roughly triangular position to better limit the displacement and sway of the outdoor unit 30 in the front-back and left-right directions, thereby improving the installation stability of the outdoor unit 30. Of course, in other embodiments, pin holes 14 can be provided on the load-bearing brackets 12 and pins 33 can be provided on the second bracket 13, or only pin holes 14 or pins 33 can be provided on the load-bearing brackets 12.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, optionally, both the load-bearing bracket 12 and the second bracket 13 are provided with pin holes 14, and the lower side of the chassis 32 is provided with corresponding pins 33. The first bracket 20 is provided with clearance holes 222 for the corresponding pins 33 inserted into the load-bearing bracket 12 to pass through. Of course, in other embodiments, the corresponding pins 33 inserted into the load-bearing bracket 12 can also be fixed to the lower side of the first bracket 20 by welding or other means.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 or Figure 6In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 101 further includes a support bracket 40, the upper end of which is connected to the load-bearing bracket 12, and the lower end which can abut against the exterior wall. This allows additional support force to be obtained from the exterior wall via the support bracket 40, thereby improving the installation reliability and stability of the main bracket 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the support bracket 40 may not be provided; for example, a shim may be used between the load-bearing bracket 12 and the window sill of the window 102.

[0062] Please see Figure 4 or Figure 8 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 40 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 121 along a first direction. Thus, the support bracket 40 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 40 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 40 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 40 on the main bracket 10, so that the support bracket 40 abuts well against the exterior wall and / or window sill, and the mounting bracket 101 can adapt well to different window sill widths.

[0063] Specifically, multiple mounting holes spaced apart along a first direction can be formed in the mounting groove 121. The support bracket 40 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 40 on the mounting groove 121. The relevant technology is relatively mature, so it will not be described in detail in this application.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 or Figure 6 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 101 further includes a base 80 rotatably mounted on the support bracket 40. 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 optionally rotatably mounted on the support bracket 40 by a hexagonal head bolt or pin. In this way, the base 80 can adapt to the exterior wall surface with an inclined angle. 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.

[0065] It is understood that the connecting part 22 can be located not only on the lower side of the chassis 32, but also in other locations, for example, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7In another embodiment, the connecting part 22 is detachably mounted on the side of the side housing 31 near the window end. This facilitates the installation and removal of the connecting part 22 on the side housing 31. Users can also choose to first install the first bracket 20 on the load-bearing bracket 12 using the first fastener 103, then place the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner on the load-bearing bracket 12, and then use the second fastener 104 to fix the first bracket 20 to the side housing 31, thus providing users with a variety of installation methods to choose from.

[0066] Please see Figure 10 In another embodiment, optionally, the connecting part 22 is provided with a third through hole 221, and the side shell 31 is provided with a corresponding fourth through hole (not shown in the figure). The third through hole 221 is installed in the fourth through hole by a second fastener 104. Specifically, optionally, the second fastener 104 is configured as a bolt. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting part 22 can also be detachably installed on the side shell 31 by means of a snap-fit ​​or the like.

[0067] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 9 In another embodiment, optionally, two load-bearing brackets 12 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the mounting portion 21 extends in the left-right direction and spans across the two load-bearing brackets 12. The mounting point of the connecting portion 22 and the side housing 31 are located at the interval between the two load-bearing brackets 12. It should be noted that the mounting point of the connecting portion 22 and the side housing 31 refers to the position of the second fastener 104 on the connecting portion 22. In this way, on the one hand, the second fastener 104 is located at the interval between the two load-bearing brackets 12, so that the first fastener 103 and the second fastener 104 can be staggered, thereby providing more hand operation space for the user and facilitating the user's operation and installation of the first fastener 103 and the second fastener 104. On the other hand, the mounting portion 21 spanning across the two load-bearing brackets 12 can improve the installation reliability of the two mounting portions 21, thereby improving the installation reliability of the outdoor unit 30 of the air conditioner. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting part 22 may extend in the left and right direction and its two sides may extend to the top of the load-bearing bracket 12, and the mounting part 21 may be provided in two and spaced apart on the left and right sides of the connecting part 22.

[0068] In another embodiment, optionally, the connecting portion 22 extends in the left-right direction and extends to the top of the load-bearing bracket 12 on both sides. It can be understood that the first bracket 20 is then configured with a roughly L-shaped bracket structure. This increases the contact area between the connecting portion 22 and the side housing 31, thereby improving the limiting and fixing effect of the first bracket 20 on the outdoor unit 30. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting portion 22 may also extend in the left-right direction and be located at the interval between the two load-bearing brackets 12.

[0069] Please see Figure 6 In another embodiment, the second fastener 104 is optionally configured as a hand-tightening bolt, the head of which is located on the rear side of the side housing 31 and above the load-bearing bracket 12. This allows the user to install the second fastener 104 by hand without tools, thereby improving the ease of installation of the outdoor unit 30.

[0070] In another embodiment, optionally, the side of the side housing 31 is provided with a grid hole, and the fourth through hole is provided at the edge of the grid hole, that is, the fourth through hole is directly opened on the rear side of the side housing 31. Alternatively, a hand-tightening bolt can be directly threaded into the fourth through hole, or a nut can be provided at the edge of the fourth through hole, and the hand-tightening bolt can be threaded into the nut.

[0071] Please see Figure 6 In another embodiment, the first fastener 103 may optionally be configured as a hand-tightening bolt, with its gripping and rotating head located above the load-bearing bracket 12. This allows the user to install the first fastener 103 by hand without tools, thereby improving the ease of installation of the outdoor unit 30. Alternatively, the hand-tightening bolt can be directly threaded into the second through hole 122, or a nut can be provided at the edge of the second through hole 122, with the hand-tightening bolt threaded onto the nut.

[0072] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and a mounting bracket assembly. The specific structure of the mounting bracket assembly is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The mounting bracket assembly is used to install the outdoor unit of the air conditioner on the outside of a window.

[0073] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
