[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, the assembly structure of air conditioner outdoor units and mounting brackets on the market is generally located on the bottom side of the outdoor unit, which is not directly visible to the operator. This makes it impossible to ensure that the parts with assembly relationships between the air conditioner outdoor unit and the mounting bracket are aligned along the preset movement path, which can easily lead to poor assembly. 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 connecting parts with assembly relationships on the air conditioner outdoor unit and the mounting bracket along a preset movement path.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a mounting bracket assembly, which includes:
[0006] The mounting bracket includes a load-bearing bracket and a limiting bracket. The load-bearing bracket extends along a first direction to the outer side of the window. The upper side of the load-bearing bracket is used for placing an outdoor air conditioning unit. The load-bearing bracket has a spacer. The limiting bracket is located at the end of the load-bearing bracket away from the window.
[0007] The guide bracket includes a mounting part and a guide part connected to the mounting part. The mounting part is connected to the lower side of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the guide part is adapted to be inserted into the space.
[0008] When the outdoor unit of the air conditioner moves along the first direction on the load-bearing bracket, it moves along the interval space along with the guide part.
[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting portion includes a first mounting section, a second mounting section, and a third mounting section. The first mounting section and the third mounting section are parallel to each other. The second mounting section is bent and connected to the first mounting section and the third mounting section respectively. The first mounting section is used to connect to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The guide portion is provided on the third mounting section.
[0010] In one embodiment, the first mounting segment and the third mounting segment extend in opposite directions.
[0011] In one embodiment, the guide portion is configured as a guide flange, which is disposed on both sides of the third mounting section and extends toward the first mounting section.
[0012] In one embodiment, the guide flange includes a first guide segment and a second guide segment connected together. The side of the first guide segment away from the second guide segment is connected to the third mounting segment. The first guide segment extends obliquely outward from the third mounting segment in a direction away from the third mounting segment.
[0013] In one embodiment, the guide bracket further includes a limiting part connected to the mounting part, and the limiting part and the limiting bracket are provided with an insertion structure that is inserted into each other in the first direction.
[0014] In one embodiment, the plug-in structure includes a limiting slot provided in the limiting bracket and a limiting plate provided in the limiting part, wherein the limiting plate is engaged in the limiting slot.
[0015] In one embodiment, the limiting plate includes a guide section disposed on the mounting portion, the guide section being inclined in a direction away from the mounting portion and away from the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0016] In one embodiment, the limiting plate further includes a limiting section disposed between the guide section and the mounting portion, the limiting section being used to abut against the bottom of the limiting slot.
[0017] In one embodiment, a limiting protrusion is provided on the side of the limiting segment facing the bottom of the limiting slot, and the limiting protrusion is used to abut against the bottom of the limiting slot.
[0018] In one embodiment, the locking slot of the limiting slot is flared, and the limiting plate cooperates with the locking slot of the limiting slot.
[0019] In one embodiment, the mounting part is provided with a positioning hole, which is used to engage with the positioning protrusion of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0020] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, including the above-mentioned mounting bracket assembly.
[0021] The technical solution of this utility model involves installing a guide bracket on the lower side of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. During installation, the outdoor unit is first placed on the load-bearing bracket, at which point the guide part of the guide bracket engages with the spacer. Then, the outdoor unit is moved along a first direction to the preset installation position. During this movement, the outdoor unit moves the guide bracket, which in turn moves the guide part of the guide bracket along the spacer. The cooperation between the guide part and the spacer guides the direction of movement of the guide bracket, allowing the parts of the outdoor unit and the mounting bracket with assembly relationships to align along the preset movement path, thus achieving the positioning of the outdoor unit. Therefore, the guide bracket in this solution can guide the outdoor unit to move along a preset track to the preset installation position, ensuring proper alignment of the assembly structure between the outdoor unit and the load-bearing bracket. This reduces the likelihood of poor assembly and ensures that the positioning and assembly structures between the outdoor unit and the load-bearing bracket can be installed smoothly even if the user cannot see them, preventing misalignment or failure to install, and increasing the installation stability of the outdoor unit.

[0038] 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.
[0039] Currently, the assembly structure of air conditioner outdoor units and mounting brackets on the market is generally located on the bottom side of the outdoor unit, which is not directly visible to the operator. This makes it impossible to ensure that the parts with assembly relationships between the air conditioner outdoor unit and the mounting bracket are aligned along the preset movement path, which can easily lead to poor assembly.
[0040] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a mounting bracket for installing the outdoor unit 52 of an air conditioner. Specifically, the air conditioner of this utility model can be a split-type air conditioner that facilitates individual installation by the user. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 52, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. Thus, when the user installs the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 52 separately, without needing to assemble the refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of this utility model can also be a common split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner, such as a window air conditioner integrated unit, in which case the outdoor unit 52 refers to the portion of the window air conditioner extending to the outdoor side.
[0041] This utility model proposes a mounting bracket assembly.
[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket assembly includes a mounting bracket and a guide bracket 40. The mounting bracket includes a load-bearing bracket 12 and a limiting bracket 13. The load-bearing bracket 12 extends along a first direction to the outside of the window. The upper side of the load-bearing bracket 12 is used for placing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. The load-bearing bracket 12 is provided with a space 124. The limiting bracket 13 is located at the end of the load-bearing bracket 12 away from the window. The guide bracket 40 includes a mounting part 41 and a guide part 43 connected to the mounting part 41. The mounting part 41 is connected to the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. The guide part 43 is adapted to fit into the space 124. When the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner moves along the first direction on the load-bearing bracket 12, it moves along the space 124 with the guide part 43.
[0043] The technical solution of this utility model involves installing the guide bracket 40 on the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. During installation, the outdoor unit 52 is first placed on the load-bearing bracket 12, at which point the guide portion 43 of the guide bracket 40 engages with the spacer 124. Then, the outdoor unit 52 is moved along a first direction to the preset installation position. During this movement, the outdoor unit 52 moves the guide bracket 40, that is, it moves the guide portion 43 of the guide bracket 40 along the spacer 124. Due to the cooperation between the guide portion 43 and the spacer 124, the movement direction of the guide bracket 40 can be guided. This allows the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 and the mounting bracket to align their parts along a preset movement path, thereby achieving the positioning of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52. Thus, the guide bracket 40 in this solution can guide the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 to move along a preset track to a preset installation position, ensuring that the assembly structure between the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 and the load-bearing bracket 12 is aligned and installed correctly. This reduces the possibility of poor assembly of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52, ensuring that the positioning and assembly structures between the air conditioner outdoor unit 52 and the load-bearing bracket 12 can be installed smoothly without misalignment or failure, increasing the installation stability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 52.
[0044] In this scheme, the first direction refers to the front-back direction of the window, and the second direction refers to the left-right direction of the window.
[0045] In this embodiment, at least two load-bearing supports 12 are provided at intervals to form a gap space 124 between two adjacent load-bearing supports 12. Of course, this solution is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the gap space 124 may also be formed on the load-bearing supports 12.
[0046] Reference Figures 4 to 7Optionally, the mounting section 41 includes a first mounting segment 411, a second mounting segment 412, and a third mounting segment 413. The first mounting segment 411 and the third mounting segment 413 are parallel to each other. The second mounting segment 412 is bent and connected to the first mounting segment 411 and the third mounting segment 413 respectively. The first mounting segment 411 is used to connect to the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. The guide part 43 and the limiting part are provided in the third mounting segment 413. It can be understood that by dividing the mounting section 41 into the first mounting segment 411, the second mounting segment 412, and the third mounting segment 413 that are bent in sequence, the third mounting segment 413, which is connected to the limiting part and the guide part 43, can avoid the third mounting segment 413 from being in contact with the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, thereby avoiding interference between the insertion structure of the limiting part and the limiting bracket 13. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In the second embodiment, if the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner has an arched protrusion at the position where the guide bracket 40 is installed, the mounting part 41 can also be set as a plate. The mounting part 41 is connected to the protrusion and extends outward from the protrusion. The guide part 43 and the limiting part are located at the position where the mounting part 41 extends outward from the protrusion. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In the third embodiment, the mounting part 41 can also be plate-shaped. During installation, a pad can be set between the mounting part 41 and the installation position of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, thereby forming a clearance gap between the guide part 43 and the limiting part and the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, which can also avoid interference between the insertion structure of the limiting part and the limiting bracket 13.
[0047] Furthermore, the first mounting segment 411 and the third mounting segment 413 extend in opposite directions. This avoids the third mounting segment 413 interfering with the connection operation between the first mounting segment 411 and the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner, thereby facilitating the installation operation of the guide bracket 40 and the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first mounting segment 411 and the third mounting segment 413 may extend in the same direction.
[0048] Optionally, the guide bracket 40 is welded to the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. That is, in this embodiment, the first mounting section 411 is welded to the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. This is because welding can form a larger contact area on the connecting surface, thereby making the guide bracket 40 and the outdoor unit 52 more robust and shock-resistant. Moreover, the welded connection does not require additional connectors, so it does not weaken the cross-section of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner and the guide bracket 40, thus saving raw materials. The guide bracket 40 and the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner can be directly welded without complex connection processes and connectors, thereby simplifying the installation process of the guide bracket 40 and the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the guide bracket 40 can also be bolted to the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner.
[0049] Optionally, the guide portion 43 is configured as a guide flange, which is located on both sides of the third mounting section 413 and extends towards the first mounting section 411. It can be understood that the guide portion 43 is configured as a guide flange because the structure of the guide flange is simple and easy to process. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the guide portion 43 can also be configured as a guide boss, which is located on the side of the third mounting section 413 facing the first mounting section 411. The guide boss cooperates with the sidewall of the space 124 on both sides along the second direction.
[0050] Optionally, the guide flange includes a first guide section 431 and a second guide section 432 connected together. The side of the first guide section 431 away from the second guide section 432 is connected to the third mounting section 413. The first guide section 431 extends obliquely outward from the third mounting section 413 in a direction away from the third mounting section 413. It can be understood that when the operator places the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner onto the load-bearing bracket 12, even if the position of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner is slightly off, the guide flange can still place the guide bracket 40 in the interval space 124 by the weight of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner under the action of the guide flange. The second guide section 432 can cooperate with the side wall of the interval space 124, thereby guiding the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner to move along the preset track to the preset installation position. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the guide flange may only include the first guide segment 431. The first guide segment 431 extends obliquely outward from the third installation segment 413 in a direction away from the third installation segment 413. The side of the first guide segment 431 away from the third installation segment 413 cooperates with the side wall of the space 124 to guide the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner to move along the preset track to the preset installation position.
[0051] Optionally, the guide bracket further includes a limiting part connected to the mounting part 41. The limiting part and the limiting bracket 13 are provided with an insertion structure that is inserted into each other in the first direction. It can be understood that when the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner moves along the first direction on the load-bearing bracket 12, it moves along the interval space 124 with the guide part 43, thereby realizing the initial positioning of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. This allows the insertion structure between the limiting part and the limiting bracket 13 to be inserted relative to each other, avoiding the insertion structure not being able to be inserted relative to each other. When the insertion structure is inserted relative to each other, the final positioning of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner can be realized. Through the initial guide positioning and the final guide positioning, the positioning structure and assembly structure between the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner and the load-bearing bracket 12 can be installed smoothly without the problem of misalignment or failure to install, even if the user cannot see them. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, an assembly structure that is positioned relative to each other in the first direction can also be provided between the outdoor unit 52 and the load-bearing bracket 12. When the outdoor unit moves along the first direction, the assembly structure can be positioned relative to each other, so that it can be installed smoothly without the problem of misalignment or failure to install.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plug-in structure includes a limiting slot 131 provided on the limiting bracket 13 and a limiting plate provided on the limiting portion. The limiting plate is engaged in the limiting slot 131. This plug-in structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the plug-in structure includes a limiting plate provided on the limiting bracket 13 and a limiting groove provided on the limiting portion. The limiting plate is engaged in the limiting groove.
[0053] Furthermore, the limiting plate includes a guide section 421 disposed on the mounting portion 41. The guide section 421 is inclined in a direction away from the mounting portion 41 and away from the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. It is understood that due to errors in manufacturing and installation, the limiting plate is prone to interference with the bottom of the mounting groove 121. The guide section 421 can guide the limiting plate to avoid the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121, thereby avoiding interference between the limiting plate and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121, and thus allowing the plug-in structure to be smoothly aligned and positioned. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the limiting plate may not include the guide section 421, and the fitting clearance between the limiting plate and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121 may be increased.
[0054] It should be noted that the bottom of the mounting groove 121 refers to the groove wall that comes into contact with the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. That is, the opening of the mounting groove 121 in this solution is opened downwards, and the bottom of the mounting groove 121 refers to the groove wall facing the opening.
[0055] Specifically, the limiting plate is positioned by abutting against the two side walls of the mounting groove 121 on both sides along the second direction.
[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting plate also includes a limiting section 422 disposed between the guide section 421 and the mounting part 41. The limiting section 422 is used to abut against the bottom of the limiting slot 131. It can be understood that by providing the limiting section 422 that abuts against the bottom of the limiting slot 131, the vertical displacement of the outdoor unit 52 can be restricted, thereby preventing the outdoor unit 52 from shaking in the vertical direction. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, only the guide section 421 may be provided, without the limiting section 422.
[0057] Optionally, a limiting protrusion 423 is provided on the side of the limiting segment 422 facing the bottom of the limiting slot 131. The limiting protrusion 423 is used to abut against the bottom of the limiting slot 131. It is understood that due to errors in manufacturing and installation, the finally installed limiting segment 422 may not fit snugly against the bottom of the limiting slot 131, causing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner to shake under the influence of factors such as wind. This solution compensates for this error by setting the limiting protrusion 423 to abut against the bottom of the limiting slot 131, thereby preventing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner from shaking.
[0058] Furthermore, the end face of the limiting protrusion 423 is arc-shaped. This ensures that even when the finally installed limiting segment 422 abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 131, the limiting protrusion 423 can cause a slight deformation of the limiting plate, thus better engaging with the bottom of the limiting groove 131 and preventing the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner from shaking. Of course, this solution is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the end face of the limiting protrusion 423 may also be a guiding slope only on both sides in the first direction.
[0059] Optionally, the locking slot 131 has an flared opening. The locking plate and the locking slot 131 cooperate with each other. The flared opening can better guide the locking plate into the locking slot 131. Even if the middle part of the locking plate is slightly deviated from the middle part of the locking slot 131, the flared opening can still guide the middle part of the locking plate to align with the middle part of the locking slot 131.
[0060] Optionally, the mounting part 41 is provided with a positioning hole 414, which is used to cooperate with the positioning protrusion of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. It can be understood that when installing the guide bracket 40, the positioning hole 414 and the positioning protrusion can be used to achieve the positioning installation of the guide bracket 40, thereby preventing the guide bracket 40 from deviating from the preset installation position, thereby preventing the plug-in structure between the guide bracket 40 and the limiting bracket 13 from failing to be aligned and plugged in.
[0061] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9Optionally, the main support 10 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. The lower surface of the load-bearing support 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121. 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 support bracket 20 and a limiting member 30. The upper end of the support bracket 20 is movably disposed on the load-bearing support 12 along the first direction, and the lower end is used to abut against the exterior wall and / or window sill. The limiting member 30 is movably disposed on the upper end of the support bracket 20. The limiting member 30 includes a limiting part and a pushing part 32 connected to each other. The limiting part can be selectively engaged with one of the plurality of limiting positions 122. The pushing part 32 is exposed outside the support bracket 20 and is used for pushing to cause the limiting part to disengage from the limiting position 122.
[0062] Specifically, by engaging the limiting part and 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 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 52 of the air conditioner, the user needs to first assemble the mounting bracket on the outside of the window 51. For example, first extend the entire mounting bracket 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 bracket 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 bracket 12 in a horizontal or approximately horizontal position so that the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner can be stably placed on the load-bearing bracket 12.
[0063] 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 to disengage from or engage with the limiting slot 122, and realize the selective installation of the limiting part with multiple limiting slots 122, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the position of the support bracket 20.
[0064] Optionally, in one embodiment, the mounting bracket assembly further includes a fixed bracket 60 separately disposed from the load-bearing bracket 12. The fixed bracket 60 is disposed on the lower side of the outdoor unit 52 of the air conditioner. The lower surface of the fixed 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 fixed 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 elastically deform, 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 into the second stop portion 62.
[0065] 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.
[0066] 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 until the insertion structure between the limiting part and the limiting bracket 13 is properly engaged. This also allows the first stop part 70 to engage with the second stop part 62, thus fixing the outdoor unit 52 relatively on the load-bearing bracket 12, 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.
[0067] Optionally, in one embodiment, the load-bearing bracket 12 further includes a first through hole communicating with the mounting groove 121. A first stop portion 70 is disposed in the mounting groove 121, and a locking protrusion 71 is provided corresponding to the first through hole. The portion of the locking protrusion 71 extending out of the first through hole 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 first through hole can limit and guide the locking protrusion 71, thereby allowing the 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.
[0068] 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 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 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 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.
[0069] 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.
[0070] 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 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, capable of stable elastic deformation within the mounting groove 121 to provide a good actuating effect on the 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.
[0071] Optionally, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121 is provided with a second through hole 123. 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 fixed 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 second through hole 123, thereby realizing the limiting connection between the fixed bracket 60 and the second through hole 123. In this way, the swaying of the fixed bracket 60 in the vertical direction can be effectively restricted.
[0072] It is understood that the second stop portion 62 can have various structural forms. For example, the second stop portion 62 can be configured as a notch or groove that matches the latching protrusion 71. Specifically, the contour of the notch or groove matches the latching protrusion 71. For example, in an embodiment where the latching protrusion 71 is configured as a cylinder, the notch or groove can be configured as a cylindrical surface segment. Of course, in other embodiments, the second stop portion 62 can also be configured as a limiting hole that matches the latching protrusion 71.
[0073] To facilitate operation and avoid the risk of slipping when the user pushes or pulls the fixed bracket 60, the fixed 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.

The specific structure of the mounting bracket assembly 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.
