[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides an air conditioner outdoor unit installation structure.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The system includes a mounting bracket 1, which is used to install the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The outdoor unit body 2 is detachably mounted on the middle of the mounting bracket 1 via bolts. The outdoor unit body 2 works in conjunction with the indoor unit to regulate the temperature. An air outlet 3 is provided in the middle of the outdoor unit body 2. Air inlet filter holes 4 are provided on both sides of the outdoor unit body 2 to filter incoming air. A sliding groove 5 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the mounting bracket 1. A slider 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 5. A limit rod 7 is slidably connected to the middle of the slider 6. A spring 8 is fixed to the lower end of the slider 6. A protective frame 9 is fixed to one side of the slider 6.

[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is worth noting that the outer surface of the slider 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 5, the slide groove 5 runs through the middle of the mounting bracket 1, the two ends of the limit rod 7 are fixed to the middle of the slide groove 5, the middle of the slider 6 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limit rod 7, the upper end of the spring 8 is fixed to the lower end of the slider 6, the lower end of the spring 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the lower end of the slide groove 5, the middle of one side of the protective frame 9 is fixed to the front side of the slider 6, there is a certain gap between the protective frame 9 and the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2, and the four corners of the mounting bracket 1 are provided with reserved holes 17, and the vertical section of the mounting bracket 1 is T-shaped.

[0031] In use, this utility model utilizes the impact force of falling objects to move the protective frame 9 downwards. This causes the slider 6, fixed to the protective frame 9, to slide under the constraints of the limiting rod 7 and the sliding groove 5. The sliding slider 6 compresses the fixed spring 8, causing the spring 8 to generate elastic support under the support of the mounting frame 1. This elastic force buffers the impact force of the falling object, achieving a force buffering effect and preventing the impact force of the falling object from directly acting on the air conditioner outdoor unit and causing damage. This effectively protects the air conditioner outdoor unit and improves the protective performance of the installation structure.

[0032] Working principle: The impact force of falling objects causes the protective frame 9 to move downwards, which in turn causes the slider 6 fixed to the protective frame 9 to compress the spring 8, achieving a force buffering effect. This prevents the impact force of falling objects from directly acting on the air conditioner outdoor unit and causing damage, thus effectively protecting the air conditioner outdoor unit and improving the protective performance of the installation structure.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An automatic cleaning function has been added based on Embodiment 1;

Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is worth noting that the mounting bracket 1 has through slots 10 on both sides, and stabilizing rods 16 are fixed on both sides of the two through slots 10. A connecting structure is provided on the outer surface of each pair of adjacent stabilizing rods 16. The connecting structure includes two swing brackets 13. A brush bracket 14 is fixed on the side of the two swing brackets 13 near the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2. A groove 15 is provided on the side of the two swing brackets 13 away from the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2. A connecting rod 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the two grooves 15. A drive bracket 11 is fixed to the other end of the two connecting rods 12.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is worth noting that the upper ends of the two drive frames 11 are fixed to both sides of the protective frame 9. The two drive frames 11 are arranged opposite each other. The vertical cross-section of each drive frame 11 is T-shaped. The side of each pair of adjacent connecting rods 12 away from the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2 is fixed to both ends of each drive frame 11. The side of each pair of adjacent connecting rods 12 near the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each pair of adjacent grooves 15. Each groove 15 is opened in the middle of each swing frame 13. The distance between each pair of adjacent connecting rods 12 is greater than the distance between each pair of adjacent stabilizing rods 16. One end of each pair of adjacent swing frames 13 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of each pair of adjacent stabilizing rods 16. The ends of each pair of brush frames 14 are fixed to the side of each pair of adjacent swing frames 13. The side of each pair of brush frames 14 is attached to the outer surface of both sides of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2.

[0037] In use, this utility model utilizes the impact force of falling objects to move the protective frame 9 downwards, causing the drive frame 11, which is fixedly connected to the protective frame 9, to move downwards as well. The downward-moving drive frame 11, through the connecting rods 12 fixed at both ends, drives two adjacent swing frames 13 to swing in opposite directions under the stabilization of two stabilizing rods 16. The two swing frames 13 swinging in opposite directions drive two brush frames 14 fixed on adjacent sides to clean the air inlet filter holes 4 opened on both sides of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 2, achieving an automatic cleaning effect. This eliminates the need for regular cleaning by personnel, bringing convenience to the user and thus improving the ease of use of the installation structure.

[0038] Working principle: The impact force of falling objects drives the protective frame 9 to move downwards, causing the drive frame 11, which is fixed to the protective frame 9, to drive the two swing frames 13 to swing in opposite directions, achieving an automatic cleaning effect. This eliminates the need for regular cleaning by staff, making it more convenient for workers and improving the ease of use of the installation structure.
