[0039] Currently, air conditioner outdoor units are connected to an installation medium via mounting brackets. The installation medium can be, but is not limited to, components such as walls or railings, to provide support for the mounting brackets. The mounting brackets include a connecting structure connected to the installation medium, a load-bearing frame connected to the connecting structure, and an adapter frame connected to the load-bearing frame. The adapter frame is used to connect the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0040] Generally, adapter brackets are relatively heavy sheet metal structures. Currently, when connecting an air conditioner outdoor unit and an adapter bracket, it is usually necessary to precisely align the fixing structures on the adapter bracket and the air conditioner outdoor unit before connecting them together. However, during installation, the adapter bracket, which is carried by hand, is prone to displacement under external forces, making it impossible to align the adapter bracket and the air conditioner outdoor unit for connection, thus making the connection very inconvenient.

[0041] This utility model proposes an adapter bracket 100 for connecting to an outdoor unit 400 of an air conditioner.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the adapter frame 100 includes a frame body 200, and a fixing structure 210 and a pre-positioning structure 220 respectively disposed on the frame body 200. The fixing structure 210 is used to fix to the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner, and the pre-positioning structure 220 is used to contact the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner and provide positioning for the fixing structure 210.

[0043] Understandably, the adapter frame 100 is equipped with a fixing structure 210 for fixing to the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner. Correspondingly, the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner is equipped with an adapter structure to cooperate with the fixing structure 210 to fix the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400 together. When connecting the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400, the pre-positioning structure 220 is first brought into contact with the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner. At this time, the fixing structure 210 on the adapter frame 100 and the adapter structure on the outdoor unit 400 are perfectly aligned. Then, the fixing structure 210 and the adapter structure are connected, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400. In this way, the pre-positioning structure 220 on the adapter frame 100 provides precise positioning for the connection between the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner, avoiding alignment failures caused by external forces during the connection process, and improving the convenience of connecting the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner.

[0044] Furthermore, it is understandable that in existing technologies, when connecting the adapter bracket 100 and the outdoor unit 400, the installer typically needs to hold the adapter bracket 100 with one hand and connect the outdoor unit 400 to the adapter bracket 100 with the other, or one person holds the adapter bracket 100 while another person connects the outdoor unit to the adapter bracket 100. This connection method is quite strenuous. The pre-positioning structure 220 reduces the number of installers required, and also eliminates the need to carry the heavy adapter bracket 100 during installation. One person can simply hold the adapter bracket 100 down with one hand while the other installs it, thus saving installation effort and improving installation efficiency.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the prepositioning structure 220 includes a positioning flange 221 extending toward the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner, and the positioning flange 221 is used to overlap the grille 410 of the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner.

[0046] Understandably, the adapter bracket 100 is generally configured as a sheet metal part, which helps to ensure the structural strength of the adapter bracket 100, thereby ensuring the installation stability and reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 400. The pre-positioning structure 220 is configured as a positioning flange 221, which extends towards the air conditioner outdoor unit 400 and can overlap the grille 410 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 400. Thus, when connecting the adapter bracket 100 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 400, the positioning flange 221 of the adapter bracket 100 is first overlapped on the upper surface of the grille 410 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 400, and then the adapter bracket 100 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 400 are fixed. The setting of the positioning flange 221 improves the connection convenience of the adapter bracket 100, and at the same time, the air conditioner outdoor unit 400 does not need to be equipped with additional accessories that cooperate with the positioning flange 221, avoiding modifications to the air conditioner outdoor unit 400.

[0047] In one embodiment, the positioning flange 221 and the frame body 200 are integrally formed, which is beneficial to the overall structural strength of the adapter frame 100. It is understood that the positioning flange 221 has a certain length along its extension direction, and the grille 410 of the outdoor air conditioner unit 400 has a certain thickness. In one embodiment, the length of the positioning flange 221 is less than or equal to the thickness of the grille 410. This facilitates a closer fit between the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 400, improving the reliability of their connection.

[0048] However, this is not the only possibility. In other embodiments, the pre-positioning structure 220 can also be a positioning bolt or a positioning hole, with a corresponding positioning hole or positioning bolt provided on the outdoor unit 400. When connecting the adapter bracket 100 and the outdoor unit 400, the positioning bolt is first inserted into the positioning hole, which also provides positioning for the fixing structure 210.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, multiple positioning flanges 221 are provided, and these multiple positioning flanges 221 are spaced apart along the width direction of the adapter frame 100. This arrangement of multiple positioning flanges 221 improves the positioning stability of the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 400, preventing rotation of the adapter frame 100 relative to the outdoor air conditioner unit 400. In the solution shown in the figures of this invention, two positioning flanges 221 are provided, and the two positioning flanges 221 overlap the upper surface of the same grille 410, which facilitates proper alignment of the positioning flanges 221. In other embodiments, the multiple positioning flanges 221 may overlap different grilles 410, and this is not a limitation.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the adapter frame 100 has a clearance opening 110 at the positioning flange 221. This clearance opening 110 facilitates observation of whether the positioning flange 221 is properly aligned, which is beneficial for calibrating the relative position of the pre-positioning structure 220 and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner. Simultaneously, the clearance opening 110 also contributes to the lightweight design of the adapter frame 100.

[0051] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, the fixing structure 210 includes a bolt-locking structure. Thus, using a common bolt-locking structure helps reduce the operational difficulty of the fixing structure 210 and improves the assembly friendliness of the adapter frame 100.

[0052] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In an embodiment of this utility model, the bolt locking structure includes a first mounting hole 211 and a bolt 212 on the adapter frame 100. The outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner has a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole 211. The bolt 212 passes through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole in sequence to fix the adapter frame 100 to the outdoor unit 400. In one embodiment, the bolt 212 is configured as a hand-tightening bolt, allowing the installer to operate by hand without the need for installation tools, thus improving the ease of connection between the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400. In another embodiment, multiple bolt locking structures are provided, which helps to improve the connection stability and reliability between the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor unit 400.

[0053] In embodiments of this utility model, the fixing structure 210 further includes a snap-fit ​​structure. This snap-fit ​​structure reduces the number of bolt-locking structures required, thereby reducing the bolt 212 locking time and improving the connection efficiency between the adapter frame 100 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 400. In one embodiment, two snap-fit ​​structures and two bolt-locking structures are provided, which achieves both connection stability of the adapter frame 100 and simplifies the connection operation. In another embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure is configured as any one of a buckle, hook, or slot; correspondingly, the outdoor air conditioner unit 400 has a structure adapted to the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​between the two.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 Understandably, the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner requires a large amount of air intake during operation. The adapter bracket 100 connects to the outdoor unit 400. To avoid the adapter bracket 100 affecting the air intake of the outdoor unit 400, multiple air passage holes 201 are provided on the opposite end faces of the adapter bracket 100 and the outdoor unit 400. The air passage holes 201 reduce the area obstructed by the adapter bracket 100 on the outdoor unit 400, ensuring air intake for the outdoor unit 400. A crossbeam 202 is formed between two adjacent air passage holes 201. The crossbeam 202 helps to strengthen the structural strength of the adapter bracket 100. After the outdoor unit 400 and the adapter bracket 100 are connected, the crossbeam 202 coincides with the grille 410 of the outdoor unit 400. In one embodiment, the projection of the crossbeam 202 is equal in size and overlaps with the projection of the grille 410; in another embodiment, the projection of the crossbeam 202 is located on the grille 410, and the projection of the crossbeam 202 is smaller than the projection of the grille 410; in yet another embodiment, the projection of the grille 410 is located on the crossbeam 202, and the projection of the grille 410 is smaller than the projection of the crossbeam 202. This further reduces obstruction of the air intake, ensuring the airflow to the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner, thereby guaranteeing the working effect of the air conditioner.

[0055] Please see Figure 4In an embodiment of this utility model, the adapter frame 100 further includes a safety rope (not shown). The adapter frame 100 is provided with a connection hole 120. One end of the safety rope is connected to the connection hole 120, and the other end is connected to a fixed position.

[0056] Understandably, the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner is connected to the installation medium via a mounting bracket 300. The mounting bracket 300 includes an adapter bracket 100, a hanging structure 310, and a load-bearing frame 320. The adapter bracket 100 is connected to the outdoor unit 400, the hanging structure 310 is connected to the installation medium, and the load-bearing frame 320 connects the adapter bracket 100 and the hanging structure 310. The installation medium can take many structural forms, including but not limited to houses that are fixed buildings, houses that can be used as vehicles, and so on. It should be noted that the house has a window structure, which can be a window structure installed on the sloping roof of the attic, a window structure installed on the exterior wall of a common house, or a window structure on a motorhome. In one embodiment, the window structure includes a window frame and a window door installed on the window frame. The window door is used to open and close the window frame, and the hanging structure 310 is hung on the windowsill of the window frame. In another embodiment, the window structure can also be a French window structure, and the hanging structure 310 can be hung on the railing of the French window structure. In another embodiment, a placement platform may also be provided outside the window structure. No limitations are placed on the window structure here.

[0057] Understandably, due to different installation environments, the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner can be mounted on the installation medium or placed directly on the placement platform or the ground. When the outdoor unit 400 can be placed directly on the placement platform or the ground, the mounting structure 310 and the load-bearing frame 320 are not needed, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the outdoor unit 400 and the mounting bracket 300. In addition, by making the adapter frame 100 detachably connected to the mounting structure 310 and the load-bearing frame 320, the mounting bracket 300 can meet different installation needs. Meanwhile, by setting up the adapter frame 100, the adapter frame 100 can be directly connected to the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner. The adapter frame 100 can be detachably connected to the mounting structure 310 and the load-bearing frame 320, which avoids the direct detachable connection between the mounting structure 310, the load-bearing frame 320 and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner. This avoids scratching the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner during the detachable connection process and avoids damage or even destruction to the appearance of the plastic shell of the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner when it comes into contact with the installation medium.

[0058] When the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner can be placed directly on the mounting platform, a safety rope is installed on the adapter bracket 100 to prevent the outdoor unit 400 from falling due to factors such as wind and waves. Specifically, the adapter bracket 100 has a connection hole 120. One end of the safety rope is connected to the connection hole 120, and the other end enters the room and is connected to a fixed position. The fixed position can be the indoor unit of the air conditioner located inside the house, or other fixed objects inside the room, as long as the safety rope can be secured. In this way, the safety rope can be used to catch the adapter bracket in time if the adapter bracket 100 and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner accidentally fall during the placement process, so as to avoid the injury caused by this. At the same time, it can also prevent the adapter bracket and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner from falling due to factors such as wind and waves. The installation of the safety rope improves the safety of the adapter bracket 100 and the mounting bracket 300.

[0059] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, the adapter frame 100 is provided with an abutment 130 at the connection hole 120, which is used for the safety rope to pass through. The abutment 130 facilitates the connection between the safety rope and the connection hole 120, and also avoids friction between the safety rope and the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 This utility model also proposes an installation bracket 300, which includes a hanging structure 310, a load-bearing frame 320, and an adapter frame 100. The specific structure of the adapter frame 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this installation bracket 300 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. Among them, the hanging structure 310 is used to connect with the installation medium; the load-bearing frame 320 includes a main frame 321 connected to the hanging structure 310 and an adjusting frame 322 connected to the main frame 321. The main frame 321 is also connected to the adapter frame 100. The adjusting frame 322 is provided with an installation position for connecting the outdoor unit 400 of the air conditioner. The adjusting frame 322 can adjust the position of the main frame 321 along the direction from the installation position to the hanging structure 310.

[0061] In the direction from the installation position of the outdoor unit 400 to the mounting structure 310, one of the adjusting bracket 322 and the main frame 321 has multiple adjusting positions for the other to choose from, thereby adjusting the distance between the installation position of the outdoor unit 400 and the mounting structure 310. Without loss of generality, this section uses the adjusting bracket 322 as an example. Thus, in environments with high airflow intensity where the installation medium is located, the user can choose an adjusting position farther from the mounting structure 310 for the main frame 321 to install, bringing the installation position closer to the mounting structure 310. For ease of explanation, a first integral unit including the mounting bracket 300 and the outdoor unit 400 is defined. This shortens the distance between the center of gravity of the first integral unit and the mounting structure 310, reducing the impact of airflow on the first integral unit and thus improving the connection stability between the mounting structure 310 and the installation medium. Taking the main frame 321 with an adjustment position as an example, the user can select an adjustment position closer to the hanging structure 310 for the adjustment frame 322 to install, so that the installation position and the hanging structure 310 are closer. It should be noted that the "multiple" mentioned in this article refers to at least two.

[0062] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit 400 and a mounting bracket 300. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 300 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. Among them, the load-bearing frame 320 is used to connect with the outdoor unit 400.

[0063] The air conditioner also includes an indoor unit and a flexible connection assembly, which connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 400. This air conditioner can be a split-type unit that is easy for users to install themselves. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 400, 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 unit and the outdoor unit 400, without needing to install refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation.

[0064] In one embodiment, the air conditioner compressor is located in the indoor unit, which reduces the weight that the mounting bracket 300 needs to support, thereby reducing the risk of the mounting bracket 300 falling. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the air conditioner compressor is located in the outdoor unit 400.

[0065] In one embodiment, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is further provided with a noise reduction structure to reduce the noise of the compressor. This improves the user experience indoors.

[0066] 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.
