Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket assembly and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Split-type air conditioners consist of an indoor unit installed indoors and an outdoor unit installed outdoors, connected by pipes and wires. The mounting bracket is used to fix the outdoor unit to the wall.

[0003] Currently, when installing an outdoor air conditioner unit, the mounting bracket is typically fixed to the exterior wall with bolts. Then, the outdoor unit is connected to the mounting bracket to complete the installation. However, once the outdoor unit is installed on the bracket, it is fixed in place. If adjustments are needed during testing, the entire outdoor unit must be disassembled and reinstalled, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces the ease of use of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a mounting bracket assembly and an air conditioner, which aims to solve the problem of positioning and installing the outdoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an installation bracket assembly for installing an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. The installation bracket assembly includes a main bracket, a snap-fit ​​structure, and a first bracket. The main bracket includes a load-bearing bracket, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is disposed on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket. The upper side wall of the load-bearing bracket has a clearance opening. The snap-fit ​​structure includes an elastic element and a snap-fit ​​protrusion. The elastic element is connected to the load-bearing bracket, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion is disposed at one end of the elastic element near the upper side wall of the load-bearing bracket, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion is disposed corresponding to the clearance opening. The first bracket is used to install on the lower side of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The first bracket has a snap-fit ​​hole for the snap-fit ​​protrusion to engage.

[0006] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket assembly further includes a support bracket, the lower surface of which is provided with a mounting groove, the upper end of which is movably disposed in the mounting groove along a first direction, and the lower end which is used to abut against the exterior wall and / or window sill.

[0007] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure further includes an elastic frame, which is connected to the side wall of the mounting groove, and the elastic element is mounted on the elastic frame.

[0008] In one embodiment, the elastic frame includes a support section extending along the width of the mounting groove and two mounting sections disposed at both ends of the support section. The mounting sections are connected to the side wall of the mounting groove, and the elastic element is connected to the support section.

[0009] In one embodiment, the elastic element is bolted to the support section; and / or

[0010] The mounting section is bolted to the side wall of the mounting groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the elastic element is configured as an elastic sheet, the elastic sheet including a first elastic segment and a second elastic segment that are bent and connected together, the end of the first elastic segment away from the second elastic segment being connected to the elastic frame, and the locking protrusion being provided at the end of the second elastic segment away from the first elastic segment.

[0012] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the first bracket is provided with a through groove extending in a first direction, and the first bracket is sleeved on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket through the through groove, and the locking hole is provided at the bottom of the through groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bottom of the through groove is provided with a limiting plate, the limiting plate is provided with a limiting notch, and the limiting notch is engaged with the edge of the clearance opening.

[0014] In one embodiment, the clearance includes a through section and a limiting section that are connected. The width of the limiting section is smaller than the width of the through section. Two limiting plates are provided opposite to each other. The distance between the two limiting plates is equivalent to the width of the end of the limiting section away from the through section. The limiting notch is engaged with the edge of the limiting section away from the through section.

[0015] In one embodiment, the bottom of the through groove has a first section and a second section connected to each other, the limiting plate is disposed in the first section, and the card hole is disposed in the second section.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second segment has a positioning flange on the side away from the first segment, and the extending direction of the positioning flange is opposite to the extending direction of the limiting plate.

[0017] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and the aforementioned mounting bracket assembly, wherein the mounting bracket assembly is used to install the outdoor unit on the outside of a window.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model is to set a snap-fit ​​structure on the load-bearing bracket. The snap-fit ​​structure includes an elastic element and a snap-fit ​​protrusion located at one end of the elastic element near the upper side wall of the load-bearing bracket. When the elastic element is compressed, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic element, the snap-fit ​​protrusion tends to move towards the clearance opening, that is, it tends to move upward. A snap-fit ​​hole is provided on the first bracket installed on the lower side of the air conditioner outdoor unit. In this way, when the air conditioner outdoor unit is placed in the preset positioning position, the snap-fit ​​protrusion will snap into the snap-fit ​​hole under the action of the elastic element, thereby restricting the lateral displacement of the air conditioner outdoor unit, that is, the air conditioner outdoor unit is successfully positioned. This allows the air conditioner outdoor unit to be installed in the preset installation position, avoiding the situation where the installation position of the air conditioner outdoor unit is not good and needs to be readjusted, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0045] Split air conditioners consist of an indoor unit installed indoors and an outdoor unit installed outdoors, connected by pipes and wires. The mounting bracket is used to fix the outdoor unit to the wall.

[0046] Currently, the commonly used mounting brackets consist of a load-bearing bracket and a support bracket. The load-bearing bracket has a laterally protruding positioning protrusion that fits into the mounting hole of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to position the outdoor unit. However, when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is heavy, the wall of the mounting hole can easily cut off the positioning protrusion.

[0047] This utility model proposes a mounting bracket assembly.

[0048] Please see Figure 15 and Figure 16 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket assembly is used for installing an outdoor unit 52 of an air conditioner. The mounting bracket assembly includes a main bracket 10, a snap-fit ​​structure 70, and a first bracket 60. The main bracket 10 includes a load-bearing bracket 12, and the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is disposed on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12. The upper side wall of the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a clearance opening 127. The snap-fit ​​structure 70 includes an elastic element and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 72. The elastic element is connected to the load-bearing bracket 12, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 is disposed at one end of the elastic element near the upper side wall of the load-bearing bracket 12, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 is provided corresponding to the clearance opening 127. The first bracket 60 is used to install on the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. The first bracket 60 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 61, and the snap-fit ​​hole 61 is used for the snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 to snap into place.

[0049] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a snap-fit ​​structure 70 on the load-bearing bracket 12. The snap-fit ​​structure 70 includes an elastic element and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 located at one end of the elastic element near the upper side wall of the load-bearing bracket 12. When the elastic element is compressed, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic element, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 has a tendency to move towards the clearance opening 127, that is, it has a tendency to move upward. A snap-fit ​​hole 61 is provided on the first bracket 60 installed on the lower side of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52. In this way, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 is placed in the preset positioning position, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 will snap into the snap-fit ​​hole 61 under the action of the elastic element, thereby restricting the lateral displacement of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52, that is, the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 is successfully positioned. This allows the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 to be installed in the preset installation position, avoiding the situation where the installation position of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 is not good and needs to be readjusted, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52.

[0050] Moreover, the pressure direction of the outdoor unit 52 on the protrusion 72 is the elastic running direction of the protrusion 72. That is, the pressure direction of the outdoor unit 52 on the protrusion 72 is parallel to the elastic force direction of the elastic element. Thus, the compression deformation of the elastic element can offset part of the external force, so that the support bracket 12 can better support the outdoor unit.

[0051] Specifically, when the pressure of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is applied to the protrusion 72, the protrusion 72 transmits the pressure to the elastic element. After the elastic element receives the pressure of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, the compression deformation of the elastic element can offset part of the external force. Even when the weight of the outdoor unit is large, the elastic element can still play a part of the supporting role. Therefore, it is still applicable when the weight of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is large.

[0052] Furthermore, the mounting bracket assembly also includes a support bracket 20. The lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121. The upper end of the support bracket 20 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 121 along a first direction, and the lower end is used to abut against the exterior wall and / or window sill. It can be understood that the upper end of the support bracket 20 being movably disposed in the mounting groove 121 along the first direction allows adjustment of the relative position of the support bracket 20 on the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby enabling the mounting bracket to adapt to window sills of different widths. The mounting groove 121 can restrict the lateral position of the support bracket 20 and reduce the degree of inclination of the support bracket 20 relative to the load-bearing bracket 12, increasing the stability of the mounting bracket assembly. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 12 may not have a mounting groove 121, and the upper end of the support bracket 20 may be movably disposed on the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 12 along the first direction.

[0053] It should be noted that the card hole 61 is located at the bottom of the mounting groove 121, which is also the top wall of the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, 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, and the load-bearing support 12 extends to the outside of the window along the first direction. Before installing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, the user needs to first assemble the load-bearing bracket 12 on the outside of the window 51. For example, first extend the entire load-bearing bracket 12 out of the window 51, then install the window mounting bracket 11 on the window frame of the window 51, and then adjust the position of the support bracket 20 on the load-bearing support 12 so that the lower end of the support bracket 20 can abut against the outer wall surface below the window 51, and keep the load-bearing support 12 in a horizontal or approximately horizontal posture so that the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner can be stably placed on the load-bearing support 12. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the window mounting bracket 11 may not be provided, and the load-bearing support 12 may be directly fixed to the outer wall without screws.

[0055] Furthermore, the free end of the latching protrusion 72 is arc-shaped. When the outdoor unit 52 is moved, the arc-shaped surface of the free end of the latching protrusion guides the latching protrusion 72 to move away from the first bracket 70, thereby compressing the elastic element. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the free end of the latching protrusion 72 has a guiding slope on the side facing the window mounting bracket, so that the latching protrusion 72 avoids obstruction during the installation of the outdoor unit 52.

[0056] Reference Figures 16 to 19 Optionally, the snap-fit ​​structure 70 further includes an elastic frame 73, which is connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 121. The elastic element is installed on the elastic frame 73. This installation method is simple and convenient for users. It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 72 engages with the first bracket 60 on the top side of the elastic frame 73. Connecting the elastic frame 73 to the side wall of the mounting groove 121 also avoids interference between the mounting structure of the elastic frame 73 and the first bracket 60. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. The snap-fit ​​structure 70 also includes a mounting bracket, which is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121. This connection method can be welding or bonding to prevent the mounting structure of the mounting bracket from protruding from the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby avoiding interference between the mounting structure of the mounting bracket and the first bracket 60.

[0057] Furthermore, the elastic frame 73 includes a support section 731 extending along the width of the mounting groove 121 and two mounting sections 732 respectively disposed at both ends of the support section 731. The mounting sections 732 are connected to the side walls of the mounting groove 121, and the elastic element is connected to the support section 731. This elastic frame 73 has a stable structure and can increase the stability of the elastic frame 73 in supporting the elastic element. When installing the snap-fit ​​structure 70, the elastic element is first installed to the support section 731, and then the elastic frame 73 is installed to the load-bearing bracket through the mounting sections 732. This installation method is simple and has a large operating space, which is convenient for operators to install. Even when the elastic element is installed or removed separately, the operator's hand can easily touch the installation position of the support section 731 and the elastic element, which is convenient for operators to operate. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the elastic frame 73 may also only include the mounting section 732 extending along the width of the mounting groove 121, with both ends of the mounting section 732 directly connected to the side walls of the mounting groove 121.

[0058] Optionally, in one embodiment of this solution, the elastic element is bolted to the support section 731, and / or the mounting section 732 is bolted to the sidewall of the mounting groove 121.

[0059] Specifically, in one embodiment, the elastic element is bolted to the support segment 731. A significant advantage of bolted connections is their detachability. This means that when the elastic element needs repair, replacement, or adjustment, the bolts 74 and nuts can be easily removed without damaging the elastic element itself. This feature greatly improves the maintainability and flexibility of the elastic element. Moreover, bolted connections are simple to operate, reducing the skill requirements for operators. Furthermore, bolted connections effectively reduce maintenance costs. When the elastic element deforms or is damaged, only the damaged elastic element needs to be replaced, without dismantling and rebuilding the snap-fit ​​structure 70.

[0060] Similarly, the bolted connection between the mounting section 732 and the side wall of the mounting groove 121 can greatly improve the maintainability and flexibility of the elastic frame 73, reduce the skill requirements of the operators, and effectively reduce maintenance costs.

[0061] Optionally, the elastic element is configured as an elastic sheet 71, which includes a first elastic segment 711 and a second elastic segment 712 that are bent and connected. The end of the first elastic segment 711 away from the second elastic segment 712 is connected to the elastic frame 73, and the locking protrusion 72 is located at the end of the second elastic segment 712 away from the first elastic segment 711. It can be understood that the elastic sheet 71 can evenly distribute the force, reducing loosening or damage to the connection caused by uneven force distribution, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection. Moreover, as an independent component, the elastic sheet 71 can be easily disassembled and replaced without large-scale disassembly and repair of the entire device, which reduces maintenance costs and time, and improves the availability and efficiency of the device. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the elastic element may also include a sliding cylinder and a spring, with the spring disposed inside the sliding cylinder, and the locking protrusion 72 connected to the free end of the spring and slidably connected to the sliding cylinder.

[0062] Alternatively, the elastic sheet 71 may be made of a spring steel or other elastic metal material; of course, it may also be made of plastic. Even further alternatively, the elastic sheet 71 and the latching protrusion 72 may be integrally formed, for example, by stamping.

[0063] Furthermore, the lower surface of the first bracket 60 is provided with a through groove 62 extending along the first direction. The first bracket 60 is sleeved on the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12 through the through groove 62. The locking hole 61 is provided at the bottom of the through groove 62. In this way, the load-bearing bracket 12 can be used to further restrict the displacement of the first bracket 60 in the width direction of the load-bearing bracket 12, thereby increasing the installation stability of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the lower surface of the first bracket 60 is provided with two positioning plates on the two side walls corresponding to the width direction of the clearance opening 127. The positioning plates are used to abut and limit the movement of the two side walls in the width direction of the clearance opening 127.

[0064] It is understandable that when installing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, the first bracket 60 is fitted onto the upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12 through the through groove 62. Pressing down the elastic element pushes the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner towards the locking protrusion 72. When the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner moves to the preset installation position, the locking protrusion 72 will pop out from the relief opening 127 and thus lock into the locking hole 61. At this time, the first bracket 60 cannot move, that is, the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is successfully positioned. This operation is simple and intuitive, and even operators without experience in installing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner can operate it.

[0065] Furthermore, the bottom of the through groove 62 is provided with a limiting plate 63, and the limiting plate 63 is provided with a limiting notch 64. The limiting notch 64 is engaged with the edge of the clearance opening 127. The engagement of the limiting notch 64 with the edge of the clearance opening 127 can limit the vertical displacement of the first bracket 60, thereby increasing the positioning effect of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the bottom of the through groove 62 may not be provided with a limiting plate 63.

[0066] The clearance 127 includes a through section 127a and a limiting section 127b that are connected. The width of the limiting section 127b is smaller than the width of the through section 127a. Two limiting plates 63 are provided opposite to each other. The distance between the two limiting plates 63 is approximately equal to the width of the end of the limiting section 127b away from the through section 127a. The limiting notch 64 is engaged with the edge of the limiting section 127b away from the through section 127a. It can be understood that the distance between the two limiting plates 63... The width of the limiting segment 127b at the end away from the through segment 127a is equivalent to that of the limiting segment 127b, which can limit the displacement of the first bracket 60 in the width direction on both sides. The limiting notch 64 is engaged with the edge of the limiting segment 127b at the end away from the through segment 127a, which can limit the displacement end position of the first bracket 60. The engagement of the limiting notch 64 with the edge of the through segment 127a can also limit the vertical displacement of the first bracket 60, thereby increasing the positioning effect of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the clearance 127 includes a through section 127a and a limiting section 127b that are connected. The width of the limiting section 127b is smaller than the width of the through section 127a. Two limiting plates 63 are provided opposite to each other. The distance between the two limiting plates 63 is equivalent to the width of the end of the limiting section 127b away from the through section 127a. The limiting notch 64 is engaged with the lateral edge of the limiting section 127b.

[0067] It should be noted that there may be three or four limiting plates 63. As long as the distance between the limiting plates 63 on both sides is equivalent to the width of the end of the limiting segment 127b away from the through segment 127a, the displacement of the first bracket 60 in the width direction can be limited.

[0068] Furthermore, the bottom of the through groove 62 has a first section 621 and a second section 622 connected together. The limiting plate 63 is disposed in the first section 621, and the locking hole 61 is disposed in the second section 622. This can prevent interference between the locking structure 70 and the limiting plate 63. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the locking hole 61 can also be disposed in the bottom of the through groove 62 where the limiting plate 63 is disposed, increasing the distance between the locking hole 61 and the limiting plate 63. This can also prevent interference between the locking structure 70 and the limiting plate 63.

[0069] Optionally, the second segment 622 is provided with a positioning flange 65 on the side away from the first segment 621. The extension direction of the positioning flange 65 is opposite to the extension direction of the limiting plate 63. It can be understood that the positioning flange 65 can fit against the circumferential side wall of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 when the first bracket 60 is installed to the air conditioner outdoor unit 52, thereby realizing the positioning of the first bracket 60 and facilitating the installation of the first bracket 60 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 52.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 Optionally, the mounting groove 121 is provided with a plurality of limiting positions 122 spaced apart along the first direction; the mounting bracket assembly 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 positions 122, and the pushing part 32 is exposed outside the support bracket 20 and is used for pushing to cause the limiting part 31 to disengage from the limiting position 122. Specifically, by engaging the limiting part 31 with the limiting position 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 plurality of limiting positions 122, the relative position of the support bracket 20 on the load-bearing bracket 12 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the mounting bracket assembly to adapt to window sills of different widths.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] Optionally, the inner edge of the first through hole 21 is provided with a guide flange 211. The inner circumferential surface of the guide flange 211 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 211 can be a complete annular flange or an annular flange with a break. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide flange 211 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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. After 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.

[0076] 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 71 331) 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 received 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 to the outside of the support bracket 20.

[0077] 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 assembly 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.

[0078] 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 assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, only one limiting portion 31 and one pushing portion 32 may be provided.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 33 includes two intersecting and opposing elastic sheets 71 portions 331. Each elastic sheet 71 portion 331 has a limiting portion 31 and a pushing portion 32. The two elastic sheets 71 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 sheets 71 portions 331 have opposing first and second ends. The first ends of the two elastic sheets 71 portions 331 are connected, and the second ends of the two elastic sheets 71 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 71 portion 331, and the limiting portion 31 is located at the second end of the elastic sheet 71 portion 331. Further, the elastic sheets 71 portions 331 are made of elastic metal materials such as spring steel; of course, plastic materials can also be used. Even further, the elastic sheets 71 portions 331, the limiting portion 31, and the pushing portion 32 are integrally formed, for example, by stamping.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 8 to 11 Optionally, the limiting part 31 is disposed at the free end (i.e., the second end) of the elastic sheet 71 part 331, and the pushing part 32 is disposed in the middle of the elastic sheet 71 part 331 and exposed below the mounting groove 121. In this way, more operating space is provided below the mounting groove 121, making it easier to apply operating force to the pushing part 32. Furthermore, the pushing part 32 being located in the middle of the elastic sheet 71 part 331 makes operation more successful, thereby improving operational convenience. Of course, in other embodiments, the groove sidewall of the mounting groove 121 may also have a clearance hole corresponding to the first through hole 21, and the end of the pushing part 32 may extend through the first through hole 21 and the clearance hole.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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 assembly 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 assembly 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 assembly, facilitating its storage and transportation. Furthermore, users do not need to assemble the mounting bracket assembly 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.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 14Optionally, in one embodiment, the main bracket 10 further includes a reinforcing bracket 13 disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121. The side edge of the reinforcing bracket 13 is bent with a first flange 131, and the groove opening of the mounting groove 121 is bent inward with a second flange 123. The first flange 131 and the second flange 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 in the mounting groove 121, the structural strength of the mounting bracket assembly in the load-bearing bracket 12 area can be improved, enabling it to withstand greater weight loads, thereby improving the installation reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 on the load-bearing bracket 12. Furthermore, the guide groove 101 is defined by the first flange 131 of the reinforcing bracket 13 and the second flange 123 of the mounting groove 121, which simplifies the structure of the load-bearing bracket 12 and facilitates the processing and forming of the load-bearing bracket 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the reinforcing bracket 13 may not be provided, or the guide groove 101 may be formed by the load-bearing bracket 12.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 Optionally, in one embodiment, to allow the support bracket 20 to rotate freely in the first position, a second flange 123 is provided corresponding to the first position on the first flange 131, and the guide protrusion 24 can rotate and extend into the second flange 123. Specifically, when the reinforcing bracket 13 is in the unfolded state, the guide protrusion 24 is located below the second flange 123 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 second flange 123. Thus, by providing the second flange 123, 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 second flange 123 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.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 11Optionally, 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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 Optionally, 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.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11Optionally, 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] 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 assembly and reduces its manufacturing cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide protrusion 24 may also be provided separately.

[0091] 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.

[0092] Since the guide protrusion 24 is integrally formed from the support bracket 20, to facilitate the insertion of the guide protrusion 24 into the mounting groove 121, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 14Optionally, in one embodiment, the mounting groove 121 penetrates the end face of the load-bearing bracket 12 and forms a mounting opening 126. The guide protrusion 24 can be inserted into the mounting groove 121 through the mounting opening 126. The mounting bracket assembly also includes a cover 40, which seals the mounting opening 126. Specifically, when installing the support bracket 20, the guide protrusion 24 can be inserted into the mounting groove 121 from the end of the load-bearing bracket 12 with the mounting opening 126, and the cover 40 is used to restrict the guide protrusion 24 from detaching from the mounting opening 126, thereby ensuring that the guide protrusion 24 can move stably in the first direction within the mounting groove 121, thereby improving the ease and reliability of installation of the support bracket 20 and the load-bearing bracket 12. Of course, in other embodiments, such as in embodiments where the guide protrusion 24 and the support bracket 20 are separately configured, the mounting opening 126 may not be provided.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 7 Optionally, the inner side of the cover 40 is provided with a mounting buckle 41, and the reinforcing bracket 13 is provided with a snap-fit ​​notch 133 corresponding to the mounting buckle 41, so that the mounting buckle 41 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​notch 133. Thus, using the reinforcing bracket 13 to install the cover 40 not only helps maintain the appearance integrity of the load-bearing bracket 12 for better waterproof and dustproof effects, but also facilitates the convenient installation and removal of the cover 40, thereby improving the ease of maintenance during after-sales service. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover 40 can also be fixed to the load-bearing bracket 12, for example, by adhesive or welding.

[0094] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and a mounting bracket assembly.

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.

[0095] Optionally, the air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, connected by a refrigerant hose assembly pre-filled with refrigerant. This air conditioner is a split-type unit designed for easy personal installation. It uses a refrigerant hose assembly to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and refrigerant is pre-filled into the refrigerant circuit before the device leaves the factory.

However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the air conditioner of this invention can also be a conventional split-type air conditioner.

[0096] The refrigerant hose assembly can be a flexible refrigerant pipe and a sleeve that covers the flexible refrigerant pipe, or it can include any two of the three: a refrigerant pipe, a drain pipe, and a power-carrying wire, as well as a sleeve that covers both of the three, or it can include a refrigerant pipe, a drain pipe, a power-carrying wire, and a sleeve that covers all three, to facilitate connection.

[0097] Furthermore, the compressor of the air conditioner is located inside the indoor unit, which reduces the weight of the outdoor unit and facilitates its installation.

[0098] Optionally, the air conditioner is equipped with a noise reduction structure for the compressor, thereby reducing the noise of the compressor installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0099] 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.
