[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] The following is combined Figures 1-11 This invention describes an air conditioner mounting assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] The air conditioner installation assembly of this embodiment includes a wall-mounted panel 2, an air conditioning plate 3, and a locking member. The wall-mounted panel 2 is connected to the wall, and a support member 23 is provided at the bottom of the wall-mounted panel 2. The air conditioning plate 3 is connected to the air conditioner body 1 and is pivotally connected to the support member 23. The air conditioning plate 3 has a pivot axis about which it rotates to abut against the wall-mounted panel 2 at a first critical position. The locking member is connected to the wall-mounted panel 2 and is detachably connected to the air conditioning plate 3 located at the first critical position.

[0037] According to the air conditioner installation assembly of this utility model embodiment, the wall-mounted panel 2 is fixed to the wall by fasteners, and the air conditioning panel 3 is pivotally connected to the wall-mounted panel 2. Specifically, when installing the air conditioner body 1, the air conditioner body 1 is first connected to the air conditioning panel 3, which is away from the first critical position. Then, the air conditioner body 1 and the air conditioning panel 3 simultaneously pivot relative to the wall-mounted panel 2 to the first critical position. Finally, the wall-mounted panel 2 and the air conditioning panel 3 are connected by locking components, thus achieving the installation of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall. During the above installation process, there is essentially no installation gap between the air conditioner body 1 and the ceiling. Therefore, the installed air conditioner body 1 can be closer to the ceiling, effectively avoiding dust accumulation above the wall-mounted air conditioner and increasing cleaning difficulty, while also effectively improving the aesthetic appearance of the wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0038] It should be noted that the lower end of the air conditioning panel 3 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the wall-mounted panel 2. The air conditioning panel 3 has an initial position relative to the wall-mounted panel 2 that facilitates connection with the air conditioning unit 1. The air conditioning panel 3 swings upward toward the wall to facilitate its movement from the initial position to the first critical position. In addition, the fasteners can be a combination of expansion bolts and nuts, and the wall-mounted panel 2 is provided with mounting holes for the expansion bolts to pass through.

[0039] In some embodiments, a locking member is disposed on the front side of the wall-mounted panel 2, and the locking member engages with the air conditioning panel 3 located at the first critical position.

[0040] The locking component engages with the air conditioning panel 3 to complete the installation of the air conditioning unit 1 on the wall. When the air conditioning unit 1 moves to the first initial position with the air conditioning panel 3, no further fixing operations are required, resulting in high efficiency in the installation and removal of the air conditioning unit 1 on the wall.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the locking element includes a first latch 21 and a second latch 22 arranged at intervals along the left and right directions of the wall-mounted panel 2. When the air conditioning panel 3 is in the first critical position, at least a portion of the air conditioning panel 3 is located between the first latch 21 and the second latch 22, and a portion of the first latch 21 and / or a portion of the second latch 22 abuts against the front side of the air conditioning panel 3.

[0042] The first clip 21 and the second clip 22 simultaneously fix the air conditioner panel 3 and the wall-mounted panel 2 in the front-to-back direction, ensuring high installation reliability of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall. Furthermore, the fact that at least part of the air conditioner panel 3 is clamped by the first clip 21 and the second clip 22 also ensures relative fixation of the air conditioner panel 3 and the wall-mounted panel 2 in the left-to-right direction, making the air conditioner panel 3 less prone to wobbling relative to the wall-mounted panel 2, further enhancing the installation reliability of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall.

[0043] Specifically, the first buckle 21 and the second buckle 22 have two guide slopes that are opposite to each other in the front and rear directions on the part that can abut against the front side of the air conditioning panel 3, so that the part can slide and cooperate with the air conditioning panel 3, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency between the air conditioning panel 3 and the wall-mounted panel 2 is high.

[0044] In some embodiments, there are multiple first buckles 21 arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the wall-mounted panel 2, and there are multiple second buckles 22 arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the wall-mounted panel 2.

[0045] This design provides more limiting points along the vertical direction between the air conditioning panel 3 and the wall-mounted panel 2, resulting in stronger connection between the air conditioning panel 3 and the wall-mounted panel 2 in the front-to-back direction and higher installation reliability of the air conditioning unit 1 on the wall.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, there are two sets of first buckles 21 and two sets of second buckles 22, which correspond one to one. The two sets of first buckles 21 are arranged alternately in the left and right direction. One set of first buckles 21 is mirror-symmetrical to one set of second buckles 22, and the other set of first buckles 21 is mirror-symmetrical to the other set of second buckles 22.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 7-9 As shown, the support member 23 extends upward at an angle from back to front. The bottom of the air conditioning panel 3 is provided with a locking hole 31, which passes through the air conditioning panel 3 in the front-to-back direction, and the air conditioning panel 3 is fitted onto the support member 23 through the locking hole 31.

[0048] That is, the air conditioning panel 3 and the wall-mounted panel 2 can be separated. At this time, the air conditioning body 1 and the air conditioning panel 3 can be connected first, and then the two can be moved so that the air conditioning panel 3 is fitted onto the support member 23 through the locking hole 31. This allows the wall-mounted panel 2 to support the air conditioning body 1 upward through the support member 23. At the same time, by enlarging the size of the locking hole 31, the support member 23 can move inside, so that the air conditioning panel 3 can pivot relative to the wall-mounted panel 2 with the support member 23 as the base point.

[0049] Specifically, when the air conditioning panel 3 rotates relative to the wall-mounted panel 2 between the initial position and the first critical position, part of the support member 23 always passes through the locking hole 31 and is located on the side of the air conditioning panel 3 away from the wall-mounted panel 2.

[0050] It should be noted that the lower end of the air conditioning panel 3 can also be pivotally connected to the lower end of the wall-mounted panel 2 via a hinge.

[0051] In some embodiments, there are multiple wall-mounted panels 2 and air conditioning panels 3 arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the wall-mounted panels 2, with one wall-mounted panel 2 and one air conditioning panel 3 corresponding to each other. Each wall-mounted panel 2 is provided with a support member 23 and a locking member. The air conditioning installation assembly also includes a connecting plate 4, which extends in the left-right direction, and all air conditioning panels 3 are connected to the connecting plate 4.

[0052] This design effectively ensures the strength of the air conditioner unit 1 when installed on the wall, while the width of the wall-mounted panel 2 and the air conditioner panel 3 does not need to be too large, thereby effectively reducing the volume and weight of the air conditioner installation components and lowering the cost of the air conditioner installation components.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, there are two wall-mounted panels 2 and two air-conditioning panels 3. The two air-conditioning panels 3 are arranged alternately in the left and right direction, and the connecting plate 4 connects the two air-conditioning panels 3 through threaded parts.

[0054] The wall-mounted air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an air conditioner body 1 and an air conditioner installation assembly as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the air conditioner body 1 is connected to the air conditioner panel 3.

[0055] The technical advantages of the wall-mounted air conditioner according to the present utility model embodiment are the same as the technical advantages of the air conditioner installation component in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body 1 is engaged with the air conditioner panel 3 along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner body 1. This effectively improves the assembly and disassembly efficiency between the air conditioner body 1 and the air conditioner panel 3, and the connection cost is lower than that of connecting the two with threaded parts.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the air conditioner body 1 has a first connector 11 on the side facing the air conditioner panel 3, and the air conditioner panel 3 has a second connector 32 on the side facing the air conditioner body 1. The first connector 11 is located above the second connector 32. The bottom surface of the first connector 11 has a limiting protrusion 12, and the top surface of the second connector 32 has a limiting hole 321. The limiting protrusion 12 is engaged in the limiting hole 321.

[0058] Thus, the air conditioning panel 3 supports the air conditioning body 1 upward through the second connector 32, and the air conditioning panel 3 and the air conditioning body 1 are relatively fixed in the front-back and left-right directions through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 12 and the limiting hole 321. The connection strength between the air conditioning body 1 and the air conditioning panel 3 is high, and the installation reliability of the air conditioning body 1 on the wall is high.

[0059] Specifically, there are two first connectors 11, which are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the air conditioner body 1 is provided with a downward-facing limiting groove 13, and the top of the air conditioner panel 3 fits into the limiting groove 13 from bottom to top. This further ensures the relative fixation of the air conditioner body 1 and the air conditioner panel 3 in the front-back direction, and also allows the top of the air conditioner panel 3 to support the air conditioner body 1 upward, further improving the installation reliability of the air conditioner body 1 on the wall.

[0061] Specifically, there are two limiting grooves 13, which are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.
