The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present application. In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth. It should be appreciated that one of ordinary skill in the art will realize that the present application can be practiced without the use of these specific details. In other instances, well known structures and processes are not elaborated in order not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited by the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0039] The air conditioner outdoor unit is an important component of an air conditioning system, mainly including a compressor, a fan and a heat exchanger. The operating principle of the air conditioning system is based on the liquid vaporization refrigeration principle, that is, the heat absorption effect during liquid vaporization and the heat release effect during condensation are used to achieve refrigeration and heating. The air conditioner outdoor unit needs to adjust the operating conditions, such as the compressor frequency, the expansion valve opening degree, the rotating frequency of the fan and the like, according to different ambient temperatures in the outside world when working.

[0040] A temperature sensing bag is usually arranged on the air conditioner outdoor unit to measure the temperature outside and transmit the temperature signal to a controller, so as to control the operation of the air conditioning system. In the related art, the temperature sensing bag is fixed to a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is mounted on the shell of the air conditioner outdoor unit and placed on the side of the heat exchanger. The mounting efficiency of the current mounting mode of the mounting bracket is low.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The mounting bracket 100 is used for mounting to the side plate 1 of the air conditioner outdoor unit and is used for mounting the temperature sensing bag. The mounting bracket 100 includes a first mounting portion 10. The first mounting portion 10 is provided with a limiting channel 13 and a clamping portion. The limiting channel 13 is used for sleeving the hook 2 on the connecting plate 20 of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The clamping portion is used for clamping cooperation between the cooperating portion 3 on the side plate 1 of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting channel 13 and the clamping portion are arranged on the first mounting portion 10 of the mounting bracket 100. During assembly of the mounting bracket 100, the limiting channel 13 can be sleeved to the hook 2 on the side plate 1 of the air conditioner outdoor unit to realize coarse positioning of the mounting bracket 100. Then, the clamping portion is clamped and cooperated with the cooperating portion 3 on the side plate 1 of the air conditioner outdoor unit to realize fine positioning of the mounting bracket 100. Thus, the mounting of the mounting bracket 100 is completed. During the whole mounting process, no screw locking is needed, the mounting efficiency is high, and through the mounting mode of the limiting channel 13 and the sleeving cooperation form, compared with the form of hanging by two hooks, the mounting bracket 100 can be effectively prevented from shaking after mounting is completed, and the stability after mounting is completed is better.

[0043] It should be noted that the specific implementation form of the clamping portion is not limited, which can be in the form of a clamping protrusion or in the form of a clamping groove, etc., which is not limited herein. The forming form of the limiting channel 13 is not limited, which can be directly opened on the first mounting portion 10, or a sleeve pipe can be bonded on the first mounting portion 10, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0044] The existing mounting bracket 100 is generally machined by numerical control, and the production process is complex. Therefore, in an embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 is a sheet metal part, so that the mounting bracket 100 is produced by sheet metal process. In the production process, the mounting bracket 100 can be obtained by stamping, bending and cutting the metal plate. Compared with the numerical control machining scheme, the production process can be effectively optimized, and the production cost can be reduced.

[0045] In an embodiment, the length direction of the first mounting portion 10 is the first direction, the width direction of the first mounting portion 10 is the second direction, and the thickness direction of the first mounting portion 10 is the third direction. The first mounting portion 10 has a first side and a second side in the third direction. The first side 11 of the first mounting portion is recessed in the third direction to form the limiting channel 13, and the limiting channel 13 extends in the first direction.

[0046] According to the scheme in the embodiment, since the limiting channel 13 is formed by recessing part of the first side 11 of the first mounting portion in the third direction, the part can be directly stamped to form the limiting channel 13 in the actual production process, and the production process is simple.

[0047] In the installation process, the limiting channel 13 and the hook 2 can be directly inserted along the first direction to complete the sleeving cooperation between the limiting channel 13 and the hook 2, realize the rough positioning of the mounting bracket 100, and the whole process is simple to operate.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , the first mounting portion 10 has two ends arranged opposite in the first direction. The limiting channel 13 has an inlet 131 and an outlet 132 arranged opposite in the first direction. The outlet 132 is located at one of the ends. The first mounting portion 10 includes a first plate 14 located in the limiting channel 13 and a second plate 15 located outside the limiting channel 13. The first side of the first plate 14 and the second side of the second plate 15 jointly define the inlet 131.

[0049] In the technical scheme of the embodiment, since the outlet 132 is located at one of the ends, the hook 2 can extend out of the limiting channel 13 from the outlet 132 after being inserted into the limiting channel 13, so that the hook 2 can extend out of the mounting bracket 100, improving the stability of the cooperation between the hook 2 and the mounting bracket 100, and Figure 2As can be seen, the hook 2 is actually a cantilever structure, and by arranging the outlet 132, the free end of the hook 2 can be extended out of the mounting bracket 100, so that the mounting bracket 100 is sleeved close to the fixed mounting position of the hook 2, and the problem of shaking caused by the cantilever structure can be effectively avoided.

[0050] The first side of the first plate 14 and the second side of the second plate 15 jointly define the inlet 131, so that after the hook 2 is inserted into the limiting channel 13, the first side of the first plate 14 and the second side of the second plate 15 can jointly clamp the hook 2 and limit and position the hook 2 in the third direction.

[0051] In addition, in an embodiment, the second side 12 of the first mounting portion is provided with a limiting protrusion 16, and the limiting protrusion 16 constitutes the clamping portion. In this way, the matching portion 3 corresponds to the limiting hole, and after the mounting personnel sleeves the limiting channel 13 and the hook 2, the limiting protrusion 16 can be directly pressed into the limiting hole, so as to complete the clamping cooperation between the limiting protrusion 16 and the limiting hole, and the operation is simple.

[0052] Further, the limiting protrusion 16 and the limiting channel 13 are at least partially misaligned in the first direction and / or the second direction, so that the limiting channel 13 and the limiting protrusion 16 can clamp the hook 2 in the first direction and / or the second direction, and the stability of the mounting bracket 100 after installation is further improved.

[0053] It should be noted that since the mounting bracket 100 is installed on the shell of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and is located on the side of the heat exchanger, the mounting bracket 100 may interfere with the heat exchange fins on the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, thereby causing the phenomenon of fin reversal.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In an embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 further comprises a connecting plate 20 and a second mounting portion 30, the second mounting portion 30 is used for mounting a temperature sensing bag, and the connecting plate 20 extends in the third direction; wherein the first mounting portion 10 and the second mounting portion 30 are respectively mounted on both sides of the connecting plate 20 in the second direction, and the first mounting portion 10 and the second mounting portion 30 are spaced apart in the third direction.

[0055] Corresponding to the technical scheme in the embodiment, the first mounting portion 10 and the second mounting portion 30 are respectively mounted on both sides of the connecting plate 20 in the second direction, and the first mounting portion 10 and the second mounting portion 30 are spaced apart in the third direction, so that when the first mounting portion 10 is mounted on the shell of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the second mounting portion 30 can extend away from the fins, so that a certain distance is maintained between the second mounting portion 30 and the fins, avoiding interference between the two, resulting in the phenomenon of the fins falling.

[0056] Specifically, the installation mode of the second mounting portion 30 for the temperature sensing bag is not limited. For example, an installation channel can be formed on the mounting portion, so that the temperature sensing bag is inserted, or a clamping form is used, etc., which is not limited here.

[0057] In an embodiment, the mounting portion includes a plurality of clamping portions 31 spaced apart in the first direction, and the clamping portions 31 are used to clamp the temperature sensing bag. In the technical scheme of the embodiment, by providing a plurality of clamping portions 31, the temperature sensing bag can be clamped, the installation of the temperature sensing bag is achieved, and the stability of the installation of the temperature sensing bag can be further improved by the plurality of clamping portions 31.

[0058] Further, in some embodiments, the clamping portion 31 includes a first clamping piece 32 and a second clamping piece 33 spaced apart in the third direction, and the gap between the first clamping piece 32 and the second clamping piece 33 is used to clamp the temperature sensing bag; and the second clamping piece 33 is located between the first clamping piece 32 and the first mounting portion 10 in the third direction; an avoidance groove 34 is formed at one end of the second clamping piece 33 towards the first clamping piece 32, and the avoidance groove 34 penetrates through the second clamping piece 33 in the first direction.

[0059] Corresponding to the technical scheme in the embodiment, during installation, the installer can insert the temperature sensing bag into the gap between the first clamping piece 32 and the second clamping piece 33 in the second direction, so that the temperature sensing bag is located in the avoidance groove 34. Corresponding to this time, the first clamping piece 32 and the second clamping piece 33 can jointly clamp the temperature sensing bag, and the temperature sensing bag is fixed.

[0060] In addition, the first clamping piece 32 and the second clamping piece 33 are plate-shaped, so that they can be processed by sheet metal technology.

[0061] The first clamping piece 32 is arranged to extend in a first direction, and the second clamping piece 33 is arranged to extend in a third direction. Since the first clamping piece 32 is arranged to extend in the first direction, the first clamping piece 32 has a larger pressing area on the temperature-sensing bag, and the fixing effect on the temperature-sensing bag can be further improved.

[0062] Meanwhile, the first clamping piece 32 and / or the second clamping piece 33 is / are provided with a flange 35 on the side surface, so that the strength of the first clamping piece 32 and / or the second clamping piece 33 can be enhanced by arranging the flange 35.

[0063] In addition, the first mounting part 10 and the connecting plate 20 can also be provided with a reinforcing rib, and the side of the first mounting part 10 away from the connecting plate 20 is also provided with a flange 35, so that the strength of the first mounting part 10 can be enhanced.
