[0002] In existing technologies, split-type air conditioners that facilitate individual installation by users employ flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. Thus, when users install the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor and outdoor units separately, without needing to install refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation.

[0003] Mounting brackets for air conditioner outdoor units typically consist of a main bracket and a support bracket. One end of the main bracket is installed in the window frame, and the other end extends outside the window to support the outdoor unit. One end of the support bracket is connected to the main bracket, and the other end rests against the exterior wall. A mounting groove is usually cut into the main bracket to allow the support bracket to be installed in a suitable position within the groove, enabling position adjustment of the support bracket on the main bracket to accommodate window sills of different widths. However, this installation method is unstable, and the support bracket can easily slip out of the mounting groove. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a mounting bracket and an air conditioner, which aims to solve the problem that the support bracket easily slides out of the mounting groove opening.

[0005] 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:

[0006] The main support includes a load-bearing support extending along a first direction to the outside of the window. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is located on the upper side of the load-bearing support. The lower surface of the load-bearing support is provided with a mounting groove, which penetrates the end face of the load-bearing support and forms a mounting opening.

[0007] A support bracket, the upper end of which is movably disposed in the mounting groove along the first direction, and the lower end of which abuts against the exterior wall and / or window sill; and

[0008] A cover that seals the mounting opening.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cover is snapped into the wall of the mounting groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the cover has a protruding mounting buckle on its wall, the bottom of the mounting groove has a retaining rib, the retaining rib has a retaining interface corresponding to the mounting buckle, and the mounting buckle engages with the retaining interface.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cover has two spaced-apart mounting buckles protruding from its wall, and the bottom of the mounting groove has two retaining ribs corresponding to the two mounting buckles. Each retaining rib has a retaining interface corresponding to one mounting buckle.

[0012] In one embodiment, a snap-fit ​​gap is formed between the snap-fit ​​rib and the side wall of the mounting groove, and the cover is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion corresponding to the snap-fit ​​gap, the snap-fit ​​protrusion engaging with the snap-fit ​​gap.

[0013] In one embodiment, the side wall of the cover is provided with a limiting recess, the snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided on the side of the limiting recess facing the mounting buckle, and the side wall of the mounting groove is placed in the limiting recess.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting buckle and / or the snap-fit ​​protrusion has a guide slope on the side facing the mounting opening.

[0015] In one embodiment, the main support further includes a reinforcing support disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove, wherein the two sides of the reinforcing support are respectively bent with first flanges, and the two retaining ribs are respectively formed on the two first flanges.

[0016] In one embodiment, the cover wall is further provided with a limiting baffle, which abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0017] In one embodiment, the cover is made of plastic.

[0018] In one embodiment, the mounting groove is provided with a plurality of limiting slots spaced apart along the first direction, and the mounting bracket further includes a limiting member, which is movably disposed at the upper end of the support bracket. The limiting member includes a limiting part and a pushing part connected to each other. The limiting part can be selectively engaged with one of the plurality of limiting slots, and the pushing part is exposed outside the support bracket and is used for pushing to disengage the limiting part from the limiting slot.

[0019] In one embodiment, the main support further includes a window mounting bracket connected to the load-bearing support, the window mounting bracket being able to be installed in the window frame.

[0020] 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.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model forms an installation opening through the end face of the mounting groove of the load-bearing bracket, and a cover is provided to seal the installation opening. When installing the support bracket, the support bracket can be inserted into the mounting groove from the end of the load-bearing bracket with the installation opening, and the cover prevents the support bracket from detaching itself from the installation opening, thus ensuring that the support bracket can move stably in the first direction within the mounting groove, thereby improving the ease and reliability of installation of the support bracket and the load-bearing bracket. Secondly, the cover can block the view, preventing users from seeing the two mounting grooves of the support bracket when facing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, i.e., seeing the obvious holes. Therefore, the cover also improves the visual effect. Moreover, without the cover, a sharp point would form at the end of the side wall of the mounting groove. Since the support bracket is generally made of a high-strength and rigid material, the sharp point would also have considerable strength and hardness. The cover can cover this sharp point, thereby increasing the safety of the mounting bracket. Attached Figure Description

[0050] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0051] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0052] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0053] In existing technologies, split-type air conditioners that facilitate individual installation by users employ flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. Thus, when users install the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor and outdoor units separately, without needing to install refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation.

[0054] Mounting brackets for air conditioner outdoor units typically consist of a main bracket and a support bracket. One end of the main bracket is installed in the window frame, and the other end extends outside the window to support the outdoor unit. One end of the support bracket is connected to the main bracket, and the other end rests against the exterior wall. A mounting groove is usually cut into the main bracket to allow the support bracket to be installed in a suitable position within the groove, enabling position adjustment of the support bracket on the main bracket to accommodate window sills of different widths. However, this installation method is unstable, and the support bracket can easily slip out of the mounting groove.

[0055] This utility model proposes a mounting bracket.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 17In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket is used for the installation of an outdoor air conditioner unit 52. The mounting bracket includes a main bracket 10, a support bracket 20, and a cover 40. It includes a load-bearing bracket 12, which extends along a first direction to the outside of the window. The outdoor air conditioner unit 52 is located on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12. The lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121, which penetrates through the end face of the load-bearing bracket 12 and forms a mounting opening 126. The upper end of the support bracket 20 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 121 along the first direction, and the lower end is used to abut against the exterior wall and / or window sill. The cover 40 seals the mounting opening 126.

[0057] The technical solution of this utility model forms an installation opening 126 through the end face of the load-bearing bracket 12 in the installation groove 121, and a cover 40 is provided to block the installation opening 126. In this way, when installing the support bracket 20, the support bracket 20 can be inserted into the installation groove 121 from the end of the load-bearing bracket 12 with the installation opening 126, and the cover 40 is used to prevent the support bracket 20 from falling out of the installation opening 126 on its own. This ensures that the support bracket 20 can move stably in the first direction within the installation groove 121, thereby improving the installation convenience and reliability of the support bracket 20 and the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0058] Secondly, the cover 40 can obstruct the view, preventing users from seeing the two mounting slots 121 of the support bracket 20, i.e., the obvious holes, when facing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. Therefore, setting the cover 40 also helps to improve the visual effect. Moreover, without the cover 40, a sharp point would be formed at the end of the side wall of the mounting slot 121. Since the support bracket 20 is generally made of a material with high strength and rigidity, the sharp point would also have high strength and hardness. The cover 40 can cover the sharp point, thereby increasing the safety of the mounting bracket.

[0059] To accommodate the actual balcony and wall dimensions of more users' homes, multiple support brackets 20 can be provided, and multiple support brackets 20 can be configured with multiple sizes and lengths, so that users can choose the length of the support brackets 20 according to their needs.

[0060] In this embodiment, the main support 10 also includes a window mounting bracket 11 connected to the load-bearing support 12. The window mounting bracket 11 can be installed on the window frame. It is understood that this solution includes a window mounting bracket 11 that can be installed on the window frame and connected to the load-bearing support 12. This facilitates the installation of the bracket on the exterior wall and avoids damage to the exterior wall during installation, such as by using screws to install the bracket on the exterior wall. However, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the main support 10 may not include the window mounting bracket 11, and the load-bearing support 12 may be directly fixed to the exterior wall, for example, but not limited to, screw fixing.

[0061] Optionally, the cover 40 is detachably connected to the wall of the mounting groove 121, which allows the user to select a suitable support bracket 20 as needed. For example, but not limited to, if the user wants to replace it with a short-leg bracket, the end cap can be removed and the short-leg bracket can be installed.

[0062] Reference Figures 18 to 24 Furthermore, the cover 40 is snap-fitted to the wall of the mounting groove 121. It is understood that the snap-fit ​​connection facilitates installation and disassembly, allowing for tool-free removal. No additional materials such as screws or fasteners are required during installation, thus reducing the installation cost of the cover. Moreover, the snap-fit ​​installation process is very simple, generally requiring only a single push-in action, without the need for rotation or pre-installation product positioning, making it quick and easy, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the cover 40. Of course, this invention is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the cover 40 may also be interference-fitted to the wall of the mounting groove 121.

[0063] The cover 40 has a protruding mounting buckle 41 on its wall 42, and a retaining rib on the bottom of the mounting groove 121. The retaining rib has a corresponding retaining interface 133 for the mounting buckle 41, and the mounting buckle 41 engages with the retaining interface 133. This buckling method is simple and easy to manufacture. Simply push the cover 40 towards the mounting opening 126, and the mounting buckle 41 will move to the position opposite the retaining interface 133, automatically engaging with the retaining interface 133 to install the cover 40. This simple and quick installation method improves installation efficiency. Furthermore, since the side of the mounting groove 121 away from the outdoor unit 52 is open, disassembly is easy. Simply pull the mounting buckle 41 by hand, and the buckle protrusion of the mounting buckle 41 will disengage from the retaining interface 133. Then, push the cover 40 away from the mounting groove 121 to remove it. Additionally, the retaining rib increases the strength of the bottom of the mounting groove 121, thereby increasing the strength of the support bracket 20. Of course, this utility model is not limited to this. In some other embodiments, the outer side of the side wall of the cover 40 may also be provided with a buckle protrusion, and the side wall of the mounting groove 121 is provided with a buckle opening, and the buckle protrusion engages with the buckle opening.

[0064] It should be noted that the retaining rib and / or mounting buckle 41 have a certain degree of elasticity, which allows the retaining rib and / or mounting buckle 41 to undergo elastic deformation when they press and slide against each other, making the installation of the cover 40 easier.

[0065] The card interface 133 can be a notch or a regular four-sided closed opening.

[0066] Furthermore, the mounting buckle 41 includes an elastic arm and a fastening protrusion, with the two ends of the elastic arm connected to the fastening protrusion and the retaining wall 42 of the cover 40, respectively.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the baffle wall 42 of the cover 40 is provided with two spaced mounting buckles 41, and the bottom of the mounting groove 121 is provided with two retaining ribs corresponding to the two mounting buckles 41. Each retaining rib is provided with a retaining interface 133 corresponding to a mounting buckle 41, which can further increase the stability of the cover 40 when engaged.

[0068] Specifically, the protruding protrusions of the two mounting clips 41 are oriented in opposite directions. This allows the two mounting clips 41 to mutually restrict displacement in the fastening direction, thereby increasing the stability of the fastening of the mounting clips 41 and thus increasing the stability of the cover 40 installation. When installing the cover 40, simply push the cover 40 towards the mounting opening 126. The two mounting clips 41 will move to positions opposite to the corresponding locking interfaces 133, and the mounting clips 41 will automatically engage with the locking interfaces 133, thus installing the cover 40. This installation method is simple and quick, which helps to further improve installation efficiency. Secondly, when disassembling, simply move the mounting clips 41 by hand towards each other. The protruding protrusions of the mounting clips 41 will disengage from the locking interfaces 133. Then, push the cover 40 away from the mounting groove 121 to remove it.

[0069] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​gap 14 is formed between the retaining rib and the side wall of the mounting groove 121. The cover 40 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​gap 14. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 engages with the snap-fit ​​gap 14. It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 engages with the snap-fit ​​gap 14 as an interference fit. This can further increase the stability of the cover 40 installation, thereby further ensuring that the support bracket 20 can move stably in the first direction within the mounting groove 121, thereby improving the installation convenience and reliability of the support bracket 20 and the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0070] Furthermore, the side wall of the cover 40 is provided with a limiting recess 44, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 is provided on the side of the limiting recess 44 facing the mounting buckle 41. The side wall of the mounting groove 121 is placed in the limiting recess 44. It can be understood that the side wall of the mounting groove 121 is placed inside the limiting recess 44, which can position the installation position of the cover 40 and prevent the cover 40 from being too recessed into the mounting groove 121. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In some other embodiments, the side wall of the cover 40 can also be placed entirely in the snap-fit ​​gap 14, and the bottom wall of the cover 40 protrudes laterally from the side wall of the cover 40, thereby forming a positioning recess on the side of the cover 40, and the side wall of the mounting groove 121 is placed in the positioning recess.

[0071] It should be noted that the side wall of the cover 40 is connected to the cover 42 and extends in the direction of the protrusion of the mounting buckle 41.

[0072] Among them, the mounting buckle 41 and / or the snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 are provided with a guide slope 45 on the side facing the mounting opening 126; it can be understood that the guide slope 45 can guide the mounting buckle 41 and / or the snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 to deform and avoid during the installation of the cover 40, thereby making the installation of the cover 40 easier.

[0073] Furthermore, the mounting buckle 41 and / or the snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 are arranged in a triangular or trapezoidal cross-section along the length of the mounting groove 121.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 Furthermore, the main bracket 10 also includes a reinforcing bracket 13 disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121. The two sides of the reinforcing bracket 13 are respectively bent with first flanges 131, and two retaining ribs are respectively formed on the two first flanges 131. It can be understood that the first flanges 131 and the second flanges 123 are spaced apart along the groove depth direction of the mounting groove 121 and together define the guide groove 101. Thus, by adding a reinforcing bracket 13 within the mounting groove 121, the structural strength of the mounting bracket in the load-bearing bracket 12 area can be improved, enabling it to withstand greater weight loads, thereby improving the installation reliability of the outdoor air conditioning unit 52 on the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0075] Furthermore, the mounting groove 121 has a second flange 123 bent inward at the opening. The first flange 131 and the second flange 123 are spaced apart along the depth direction of the mounting groove 121 and together define the guide groove 101. Thus, by using the first flange 131 of the reinforcing bracket 13 and the second flange 123 of the mounting groove 121 to define the guide groove 101, the structure of the load-bearing bracket 12 is simplified, and the processing and forming of the load-bearing bracket 12 is facilitated. Of course, in other embodiments, the reinforcing bracket 13 may not be provided, or the guide groove 101 may be formed from the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 13 , Figure 14Optionally, in one embodiment, to allow the support bracket 20 to rotate freely in the first position, the first flange 131 may have a clearance notch 132 corresponding to the first position, and the guide protrusion 24 may rotate and extend into the clearance notch 132. Specifically, when the reinforcing bracket 13 is in the unfolded state, the guide protrusion 24 is located below the clearance notch 132 and can slide into the guide groove 101 as the support bracket 20 moves in the first direction; when the reinforcing bracket 13 is in the retracted state, the rotation trajectory of the guide protrusion 24 is partially located within the clearance notch 132. Thus, by providing the clearance notch 132, the problem of interference between the guide protrusion 24 and the reinforcing bracket 13 during rotation can be effectively avoided, and the reinforcing bracket 13 can be allowed to extend to the side of the guide protrusion 24 (when the support bracket 20 is in the first position) away from the window mounting bracket 11, thereby increasing the effective length of the reinforcing bracket 13 and further enhancing the structural reinforcement effect of the reinforcing bracket 13 on the load-bearing bracket 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the avoidance notch 132 may not be provided, and the end face of the reinforcing bracket 13 may be located on the side of the guide protrusion 24 (at which time the support bracket 20 is in the first position) close to the window mounting bracket 11.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 18 and Figure 20 Optionally, the first flange 131 includes a continuously bent first segment and a second segment. The first segment is bent downward from the side edge of the reinforcing bracket 13, and the second segment is bent outward from the lower side edge of the first segment. The second flange 123 includes continuously bent third and fourth segments. The third segment is bent inward from the opening of the mounting groove 121, and the fourth segment is bent downward from the inner side edge of the third segment. A guide groove 101 is defined between the second and third segments. In this way, the continuous bending process can improve the structural strength of the first flange 131 and the second flange 123, and increase the surface area of ​​the side wall of the guide groove 101, thereby increasing the effective contact area between the guide groove 101 and the guide protrusion 24, and thus improving the smoothness and stability of the guide protrusion 24 sliding within the guide groove 101.

[0078] Alternatively, the reinforcing bracket 13 can be welded to the load-bearing bracket 12 to improve the connection strength between the two. Of course, in other embodiments, the reinforcing bracket 13 can also be installed on the load-bearing bracket 12 by means of screwing, riveting, or other methods.

[0079] Optionally, the retaining wall 42 of the cover 40 is further provided with a limiting baffle 46, which abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 121. It can be understood that the limiting baffle 46 is attached to the bottom of the mounting groove 121 to prevent the cover 40 from shaking or rotating in the groove depth direction of the mounting groove 121, thereby increasing the stability of the cover 40 during installation.

[0080] Optionally, the cover 40 may be made of plastic; this is because plastic is lightweight, which helps reduce the weight of the mounting bracket, and plastic is highly malleable, making it easy to process and mold, thereby reducing production costs. Of course, this invention is not limited to this; in some other embodiments, the cover 40 may also be made of metal.

[0081] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 Furthermore, the mounting groove 121 is provided with a plurality of limiting slots 122 spaced apart along the first direction. The mounting bracket also includes a limiting member 30, which is movably disposed at the upper end of the support bracket 20. The limiting member 30 includes a limiting part 31 and a pushing part 32 connected to each other. The limiting part 31 can be selectively engaged with one of the plurality of limiting slots 122. The pushing part 32 is exposed outside the support bracket 20 and is used for pushing so that the limiting part 31 is disengaged from the limiting slot 122.

[0082] Specifically, by engaging the limiting part 31 with the limiting slot 122, the support bracket 20 can be relatively fixed at a certain position on the load-bearing bracket 12. Furthermore, by selectively engaging the limiting part 31 with one of the multiple limiting slots 122, the relative position of the support bracket 20 on the load-bearing bracket 12 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the mounting bracket to adapt to window sills of different widths. Before installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the user needs to first assemble the mounting bracket on the outside of the window. For example, first extend the entire mounting bracket out of the window, then install the window mounting bracket 11 on the window frame, and then adjust the position of the support bracket 20 on the load-bearing bracket 12 so that the lower end of the support bracket 20 can abut against the outer wall surface below the window, and keep the load-bearing bracket 12 in a horizontal or approximately horizontal position, so that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be stably placed on the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0083] In the process of adjusting the relative position of the support bracket 20, the user can easily observe and reach the exposed pushing part 32, and can apply force to the pushing part 32, such as by pressing the pushing part 32 directly with a finger, so as to cause the limiting part 31 to disengage from or engage with the limiting slot 122, and realize the selective installation of the limiting part 31 with multiple limiting slots 122, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the position of the support bracket 20.

[0084] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6Optionally, in one embodiment, the support bracket 20 is provided with a first through hole 21, and the pushing part 32 is correspondingly installed in the first through hole 21, with the portion of the pushing part 32 passing through the first through hole 21 used for pushing. Thus, the first through hole 21 guides and positions the pushing part 32, improving the smoothness and stability of its movement and thereby enhancing ease of operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the first through hole 21 may not be provided, and the pushing part 32 may be directly exposed on the outside of the support bracket 20.

[0085] Optionally, the inner edge of the first through hole 21 is provided with a guide flange 212. The inner circumferential surface of the guide flange 212 and the hole wall surface of the first through hole 21 together form a mating surface for the sliding of the pushing part 32. It is understood that the larger the surface area of ​​this mating surface, the more beneficial it is to the smoothness and stability of the movement of the pushing part 32, and the lower the risk of the pushing part 32 accidentally disengaging from the support bracket 20. It should be noted that the guide flange 212 can be a complete annular flange or an annular flange with a break. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide flange 212 may not be provided. For example, a limiting protrusion may be provided on the pushing part 32 to prevent the pushing part 32 from slipping out of the first through hole 21.

[0086] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 Optionally, in one embodiment, the support bracket 20 further includes a second through hole 22, with the limiting part 31 correspondingly installed in the second through hole 22, and the portion of the limiting part 31 passing through the second through hole 22 engaging with the limiting slot 122. Thus, the second through hole 22 guides and positions the limiting part 31, improving the smoothness and stability of the movement of the pushing part 32, thereby enhancing operational convenience. Alternatively, the second through hole 22 can be omitted, and the limiting part 31 can be directly exposed on the outside of the support bracket 20.

[0087] Optionally, in one embodiment, the support bracket 20 is provided with a receiving groove 23, and a first through hole 21 and a second through hole 22 are provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 23. The limiting member 30 also includes a connecting part 33 provided in the receiving groove 23. The limiting part 31 is connected to the pushing part 32 through the connecting part 33. The connecting part 33 can elastically deform relative to the support bracket 20 so that the limiting part 31 tends to approach the limiting position 122. Specifically, when the pushing part 32 is driven by an external force (such as the pressure from the user's finger) to slide into the first through hole 21 in a direction closer to the center of the receiving groove 23, the connecting part 33 undergoes elastic deformation in the receiving groove 23 and its elastic potential energy gradually increases. At the same time, the limiting part 31 gradually disengages from the limiting position 122 to allow the support bracket 20 to move along the first direction carrying the limiting member 30. When the relative position of the support bracket 20 on the main bracket 10 is adjusted to the correct position, the external force is removed. Under the elastic reset action of the connecting part 33, the pushing part 32 can slide into the first through hole 21 in a direction away from the center of the receiving groove 23. At the same time, the limiting part 31 can be re-locked onto the new limiting position 122 to achieve relative fixation of the support bracket 20.

[0088] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 8 to 13 The limiting member 30 in the illustrations is shown in its natural state, meaning that the connecting portion 33 has not undergone elastic deformation. It can be understood that when the limiting member 30 is in its natural state, the distance between the two free ends of the limiting member 30 (i.e., the second end of the elastic piece 331) is greater than the width of the receiving groove 23 of the support bracket 20, so that the limiting member 30 can be in an energy-storing state after being inserted into the receiving groove 23. Therefore, this is not the final assembly state of the limiting member 30; the final assembly state of the limiting member 30 should be that the connecting portion 33 is housed within the receiving groove 23, with only the limiting portion 31 and the pushing portion 32 exposed on both sides of the support bracket 20, rather than the state shown in the illustrations where part of the connecting portion 33 extends outwards from the support bracket 20.

[0089] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting part 33 may not have elastic deformation capability. For example, the limiting member 30 is a rigid structure as a whole, and the relative positions between the limiting part 31, the connecting part 33 and the pushing part 32 remain unchanged. The mounting bracket also includes an elastic reset member, which is connected between the limiting member 30 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 23 so that the limiting part 31 tends to approach the limiting position 122.

[0090] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 11 and Figure 12Optionally, in one embodiment, each of the two opposite sidewalls of the mounting groove 121 is provided with a limiting slot 122. At least two limiting portions 31 and at least two pushing portions 32 are provided. The at least two limiting portions 31 are installed one-to-one with the limiting slots 122 on the two sidewalls of the mounting groove 121, and are also one-to-one with the at least two pushing portions 32. Optionally, in this embodiment, two limiting portions 31 and two pushing portions 32 are provided. This establishes a connection between the two limiting portions 31 and the two opposite sidewalls of the mounting groove 121, improving the installation stability of the support bracket 20 on the main bracket 10. Furthermore, the two pushing portions 32 are responsible for actuating the two limiting portions 31 respectively, saving on transmission structures and simplifying the structure of the mounting bracket. Of course, in other embodiments, only one limiting portion 31 and one pushing portion 32 may be provided.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 33 includes two intersecting and opposing elastic sheet portions 331. Each elastic sheet portion 331 has a limiting portion 31 and a pushing portion 32. The two elastic sheet portions 331 are capable of relative elastic deformation, causing the opposing limiting portions 31 to tend to move away from each other. Specifically, the elastic sheet portions 331 have opposing first and second ends. The first ends of the two elastic sheet portions 331 are connected, and the second ends of the two elastic sheet portions 331 are far apart, resulting in a roughly V-shaped structure for the connecting portion 33. The pushing portion 32 is located in the middle of the elastic sheet portion 331, and the limiting portion 31 is located at the second end of the elastic sheet portion 331. Further, the elastic sheet portion 331 is made of an elastic metal material such as spring steel; of course, it can also be made of plastic. Even further, the elastic sheet portion 331, the limiting portion 31, and the pushing portion 32 are integrally formed, for example, by stamping.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 8 to 11 Optionally, the limiting part 31 is located at the free end (i.e., the second end) of the elastic piece 331, and the pushing part 32 is located in the middle of the elastic piece 331 and exposed below the mounting groove 121. This provides more operating space below the mounting groove 121, making it easier to apply operating force to the pushing part 32. Furthermore, the pushing part 32's location in the middle of the elastic piece 331 facilitates smoother operation and improves ease of use. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the sidewall of the mounting groove 121 may have a clearance hole corresponding to the first through hole 21, and the end of the pushing part 32 may extend through both the first through hole 21 and the clearance hole.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 Optionally, in one embodiment, one of the support bracket 20 and the main bracket 10 is provided with a guide protrusion 24, and the other is provided with a guide groove 101 extending along a first direction. The guide protrusion 24 can slide within the guide groove 101. Thus, by utilizing the cooperation of the guide protrusion 24 and the guide groove 101, the support bracket 20 can be guided and positioned when it moves along the first direction, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the position adjustment operation of the support bracket 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide protrusion 24 and the guide groove 101 may not be provided.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 Optionally, in one embodiment, the support bracket 20 has a first position on the load-bearing bracket 12. In the first position, the guide protrusion 24 disengages from the guide groove 101 to allow the support bracket 20 to rotate relative to the load-bearing bracket 12, and to allow the support bracket 20 to have an unfolded state and a retracted state. In the retracted state, the lower end of the support bracket 20 is positioned close to the load-bearing bracket 12. Specifically, when the mounting bracket is factory-installed, the support bracket 20 can be pre-installed on the main bracket 10, and the support bracket 20 can be rotated to the retracted state (e.g., ...). Figure 9 As shown), the lower end of the support bracket 20 and the load-bearing bracket 12 are fixed together using cable ties, tape, etc. After the user takes the installation bracket out of the packaging box, they only need to cut the cable ties or tape, and the lower end of the support bracket 20 will rotate downwards to the unfolded state under its own weight (as shown). Figure 8 (As shown). This reduces the overall size and volume of the mounting bracket, facilitating its storage and transportation. Furthermore, users do not need to assemble the mounting bracket themselves; they can simply remove it from the packaging and use it directly, thus improving its ease of use. Of course, in other embodiments, the support bracket 20 may not have the ability to rotate relative to the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 , Figure 14Optionally, in one embodiment, the limiting slot 122 is configured as a positioning hole, including a first positioning hole 124 and a second positioning hole 125. The first positioning hole 124 is set corresponding to a first position and extends along the depth direction of the mounting groove 121. The second positioning hole 125 is set corresponding to the guide groove 101. When the support bracket 20 is in the first position, the limiting part 31 can move within the first positioning hole 124. Specifically, the first positioning hole 124 is configured as an oval hole with its length direction being the depth direction of the mounting groove 121. The second positioning hole 125 is configured as a circular hole, and the outer peripheral surface of the limiting part 31 is configured as a cylindrical surface adapted to the second positioning hole 125. Thus, when the support bracket 20 switches between a retracted state and an unfolded state, the limiting part 31 can slide within the first positioning hole 124. Since the limiting part 31 can extend out of the first positioning hole 124, the limiting member 30 can be kept in a state with low elastic potential energy, which can avoid the problem of the limiting member 30 weakening its elasticity after long-term significant compression. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting slot 122 may not be a hole structure, but may be a positioning groove formed on the inner side of the mounting groove 121.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 Optionally, the protrusion height of the limiting part 31 is greater than the protrusion height of the pushing part 32. That is, the height of the limiting part 31 extending out of the second through hole 22 is greater than the height of the pushing part 32 extending out of the first through hole 21. This ensures that the limiting part 31 can be reliably locked in the positioning hole and avoids the problem of the limiting part 31 accidentally dislodging from the positioning hole, thereby improving the installation reliability of the support bracket 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the protrusion height of the limiting part 31 may be less than or equal to the protrusion height of the pushing part 32.

[0097] Alternatively, the cross-sectional diameter of the pushing part 32 may be larger than that of the limiting part 31. This allows the more robust pushing part 32 to provide a larger surface area for resisting force, improving the comfort and convenience of user operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional diameter of the pushing part 32 may be less than or equal to that of the limiting part 31.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 6 Optionally, in one embodiment, the support bracket 20 is provided with a receiving groove 23, and the limiting member 30 is provided in the receiving groove 23. The sidewall of the receiving groove 23 is integrally formed with a guide protrusion 24. This simplifies the structure of the mounting bracket and reduces its manufacturing cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide protrusion 24 may also be provided separately.

[0099] Alternatively, the upper end of the receiving groove 23 has an opening, and the side edge of the opening is bent towards the center of the receiving groove 23 with a reinforcing flange 25. The opposite sides of the reinforcing flange 25 are connected to the sidewall of the receiving groove 23. In this way, the local structural strength of the upper end of the receiving groove 23 can be enhanced by the reinforcing flange 25, especially the structural strength of the area where the guide protrusion 24 is located, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the movement of the guide protrusion 24 within the guide groove 101.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 Optionally, in one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a first bracket 60 separately disposed from the load-bearing bracket 12. The first bracket 60 is disposed on the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. The lower surface of the first bracket 60 is provided with a first through groove 61 extending in a first direction. When the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is placed on the load-bearing bracket 12 from top to bottom, the first bracket 60 is sleeved on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12 through the first through groove 61, and the load-bearing bracket 12 can move on the first through groove 61. The load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a first stop portion 70 that can be elastically deformed, and the first through groove 61 is provided with a second stop portion 62. When the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner moves on the load-bearing bracket 12 in the first direction, the first stop portion 70 can be locked in the second stop portion 62.

[0101] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 14 The first support 60 is not shown.

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner side of the window is defined as the rear, and the outer side of the window is defined as the front. The front-back direction is the first direction, the upper side of the outdoor unit 52 is the upper part, and the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 is the lower part. Optionally, the outdoor unit 52 is first placed from top to bottom on the end of the load-bearing bracket 12 near the window 51, and then pushed forward to a fixed position. That is, after being pushed to a fixed position in a direction away from the window 51, the first stop part 70 is engaged with the second stop part 62.

[0103] Of course, in other embodiments, the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner can be placed from top to bottom at the end of the load-bearing bracket 12 away from the window 51, and then pulled back to a fixed position. That is, after being pulled to a fixed position in the direction close to the window 51, the first stop part 70 is locked on the second stop part 62.

[0104] In other words, the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is first placed on the load-bearing bracket 12, and then pushed or pulled along the first direction so that the first stop part 70 can be engaged with the second stop part 62, thus fixing the outdoor unit 52 relatively on the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby completing the installation and fixing of the outdoor unit 52. In this way, the structure of the first stop part 70 and the second stop part 62 allows the installation and fixing of the outdoor unit 52 to be completed without the need for screws and corresponding screwdrivers, making the operation more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 Optionally, in one embodiment, the load-bearing bracket 12 further includes a third through hole 127 communicating with the mounting groove 121. A first stop portion 70 is disposed in the mounting groove 121, and a first locking protrusion 71 is provided corresponding to the third through hole 127. The portion of the first locking protrusion 71 extending out of the third through hole 127 can be engaged with the second stop portion 62. Thus, the first stop portion 70 can undergo elastic deformation within the mounting groove 121, and the third through hole 127 can limit and guide the first locking protrusion 71, thereby allowing the first locking protrusion 71 to be engaged or disengaged from the second stop portion 62 more smoothly. Of course, in other embodiments, the first stop portion 70 can also be directly formed on the side wall of the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0106] Optionally, the second stop portion 62 is disposed on the first groove sidewall of the first through groove 61. A guide plate 63 is also provided on the first groove sidewall of the first through groove 61. The second stop portion 62 and the guide plate 63 are sequentially distributed along the first direction and away from the window mounting bracket 11, with the guide plate 63 extending obliquely away from the load-bearing bracket 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is placed on the load-bearing bracket 12 and pushed backward to fix it, during this pushing process, the first locking protrusion 71 contacts and is acted upon by the guide plate 63, causing the first stop portion 70 to undergo elastic deformation and automatically retract. Finally, after the first locking protrusion 71 aligns with the second stop portion 62, it automatically pops out and locks into the second stop portion 62. Thus, through the guiding action of the guide plate 63, the first locking protrusion 71 can be more smoothly locked into the second stop portion 62. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide plate 63 may not be provided. It is understood that in the embodiment where the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is placed on the load-bearing bracket 12 and pulled inward to fix it, the guide plate 63 extends at an angle away from the load-bearing bracket 12 in the direction close to the window mounting bracket 11.

[0107] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the relative positional relationship between different components refers to their state after the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is installed on the main bracket 10. Special cases will be explained in detail.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 Optionally, in one embodiment, the first stop portion 70 includes two first pieces 72 and two second pieces 73. The two first pieces 72 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart, and connected by the two second pieces 73. The two second pieces 73 are arranged opposite to each other and intersecting. One of the first pieces 72 has a first latching protrusion 71 and elastically abuts against one sidewall of the mounting groove 121, while the other first piece 72 elastically abuts against the other sidewall of the mounting groove 121. Thus, the first stop portion 70 has a simple structure and is easy to implement, and can stably and elastically deform within the mounting groove 121 to provide a good actuating effect on the first latching protrusion 71. Of course, in other embodiments, the first stop portion 70 can also be directly formed from the sidewall of the mounting groove 121.

[0109] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 12 Optionally, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121 is provided with a fourth through hole 128. The first through groove 61 includes two opposing first plate segments 611, two second plate segments 612, two opposing third plate segments 613, and a fourth plate segment 614 connecting the two third plate segments 613. The side wall of the first through groove 61 is the first plate segment 611. The third plate segment 613 is opposite to the first plate segment 611. The second plate segment 612 connects the first plate segment 611 and the third plate segment 613. The bottom wall of the first through groove 61 is the second plate segment 612. The third plate segment 613 has a limiting notch 615 at the end away from the window mounting bracket 11. When the first bracket 60 moves forward in the first direction, the lower edge of the limiting notch 615 can move to the lower side of the hole edge of the fourth through hole 128, thereby realizing the limiting connection between the first bracket 60 and the fourth through hole 128. In this way, the swaying of the first bracket 60 in the vertical direction can be effectively restricted.

[0110] It is understandable that the second stop part 62 has various structural forms; for example, please refer to... Figure 16 The second stop portion 62 is configured as a notch or groove that matches the first latching protrusion 71. Specifically, the outline of the notch or groove matches the first latching protrusion 71. For example, in an embodiment where the first latching protrusion 71 is configured as a cylinder, the notch or groove is configured as a cylindrical surface segment. Of course, in other embodiments, the second stop portion 62 may also be configured as a limiting hole that matches the first latching protrusion 71.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16To facilitate operation and avoid the risk of slipping when pushing or pulling the first bracket 60, the first bracket 60 is provided with an anti-slip part 64 on the side away from the second stop part 62. Specifically, the anti-slip part 64 includes an anti-slip grid hole provided on the side wall of the first through groove 61 and an undercut flange protruding from the outer side of the first through groove 61.

[0112] 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.

[0113] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and the aforementioned mounting bracket. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 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 repeated here. The mounting bracket is used to install the outdoor unit of the air conditioner on the outside of a window.

[0114] 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.
