Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, split-type air conditioners that facilitate individual installation by users employ flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, 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 and outdoor units separately, without needing to install refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation.
[0003] Currently, air conditioner outdoor units need to be installed on the exterior walls or window frames of buildings. Traditional installation methods typically involve directly fixing the outdoor unit to the exterior wall or installing it directly on the window frame. However, existing installation methods often have certain problems, such as complex installation, cumbersome installation process, requiring professional operation, increasing installation costs and time; in some narrow window frames, traditional mounting brackets are difficult to adapt, resulting in the air conditioner outdoor unit being unable to be installed or having an unstable installation.

[0064] This utility model proposes an installation bracket 1 for installing an outdoor air conditioner unit 4 in an outdoor space. For ease of installation, the installation bracket 1 is installed on a window frame 2. The window frame 2 has a bottom frame 21 and two side frames 22 connecting opposite ends of the bottom frame 21.
[0065] The air conditioner also includes an indoor unit, and a flexible connection assembly connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 4. This air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install themselves. It uses refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 4, 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 4 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 invention 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 4 refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outside. The mounting bracket 1 can mount the outdoor unit 4 to an external wall 3 or an external windowsill.
[0066] Furthermore, this type of split-type air conditioner, which is easy for users to install individually, allows the compressor to be placed inside the indoor unit, thereby reducing the weight of the outdoor unit 4 and facilitating its installation on the mounting bracket 1. Correspondingly, in order to reduce the noise generated by the compressor, a noise reduction structure needs to be installed on the compressor.
[0067] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket 1 includes:
[0068] The main support body 14 is located on the outside of the window frame 2 and is used for installing the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner; and
[0069] A window mounting bracket 11 is connected to the side of the bracket body 14 facing the window frame 2. The window mounting bracket 11 includes at least a first window mounting part 12. The bottom end of the first window mounting part 12 is connected to the bracket body 14, and the first window mounting part 12 is used to install on the side frame 22.
[0070] Specifically, the main body 14 of the bracket is mainly used to support the weight of the entire outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner. One side of the window mounting bracket 11 is connected to the side of the main body 14 facing the window frame 2, and the other side is connected to the window frame 2. The window mounting bracket 11 includes at least a first window mounting part 12, which extends approximately vertically so that the first window mounting part 12 can be installed on the side frame 22. That is, the mounting bracket 1 is installed on at least the side frame 22. Thus, the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner can be fixed simply by fixing the first window mounting part 12 to the side frame 22 of the window frame 2, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner. Moreover, the window mounting bracket 11 can be fixed only to the side frame 22. Compared with the window mounting bracket 11 being fixed to the bottom frame 21, the window mounting bracket 11 is less limited by the width of the window frame 2, and the installation environment is more extensive. In some installation environments, such as sliding windows 24 or casement windows 24, this installation position is less likely to interfere with the closing path of the window 24, thereby further facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner outdoors.
[0071] Wherein, let the first direction be... Figure 2 The front and back directions marked in the middle are also the thickness directions of window frame 2, and the second direction is... Figure 2 The left and right directions marked in the figure are also the width directions of window frame 2. Figure 2 The vertical direction marked in the figure is also the height direction of window frame 2.
[0072] In one embodiment, the first window mounting portion 12 is integrally formed with the bracket body 14, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the first window mounting portion 12 and the bracket body 14, thus improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 1 and helping to ensure the structural stability of the mounting bracket 1. In this embodiment, the first window mounting portion 12 and the bracket body 14 are integrally stamped. In other embodiments, the first window mounting portion 12 and the bracket body 14 may also be integrally cast.
[0073] In another embodiment, the first window mounting part 12 and the bracket body 14 are formed separately and then welded together to form an integral structure.
[0074] In another embodiment, the first window mounting part 12 is detachably connected to the bracket body 14, so that in the actual installation process, the first window mounting part 12 and the bracket body 14 can be assembled first and then installed on the window frame 2; or the first window mounting part 12 can be installed on the window frame 2 first and then the assembly between the first window mounting part 12 and the bracket body 14 can be completed, thereby improving the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 1.
[0075] Please see Figures 1 to 9 In an embodiment of this utility model, the first window mounting portion 12 includes two first clamping portions 122 spaced apart, and a first connecting portion 121 connecting the two first clamping portions 122. The two first clamping portions 122 together clamp the window frame 2. The first connecting portion 121 or the first clamping portion 122 has a mounting portion 126, and the bracket body 14 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 126. Specifically, the two first clamping portions 122 are bent and connected to the first connecting portion 121, and are spaced apart, so that the first connecting portion 121 and the two first clamping portions 122 are roughly U-shaped, thereby forming a first clamping groove 123 for clamping the side frame 22, so as to jointly clamp the window frame 2.
[0076] In one embodiment, the bracket body 14 is detachably connected to one of the two first clamping portions 122, with one of the first clamping portions 122 located on the side of the first connecting portion 121 closer to the bracket body 14, and the other located on the side of the first connecting portion 121 away from the bracket body 14. Preferably, the mounting portion 126 is located on the first clamping portion 122 closer to the bracket body 14, that is, on the first clamping portion 122 facing the outdoor space, which facilitates the installation of the bracket body 14 and the first clamping portion 122, and reduces the possibility of the bracket body 14 extending into the window frame 2, thus avoiding the window 24.
[0077] In another embodiment, the bracket body 14 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 121, which is located between the two first clamping portions 122. The first connecting portion 121 serves as the main structure of the first window mounting portion 12. The connection between the bracket body 14 and the first connecting portion 121 further improves the installation stability of the bracket body 14. Furthermore, the bracket body 14 can be installed on both the first clamping portions 122 and the first connecting portion 121, thereby further enhancing the installation flexibility of the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting portion 12.
[0078] To facilitate the installation of the first window mounting part 12 onto the window frame 2, the distance between the two first clamping parts 122 is often greater than the thickness of the window frame 2. Therefore, to ensure that the two first clamping parts 122 can clamp the window frame 2, in one embodiment, one of the two first clamping parts 122 is provided with a first adjusting member 124, which presses the window frame 2 against the other first clamping part 122. Specifically, the first adjusting member 124 can adjust the effective clamping distance between the two first clamping parts 122. In this embodiment, the first adjusting member 124 is configured to be rotatably mounted on an adjusting bolt of one of the two first clamping parts 122. When the two first clamping parts 122 are located on the inner and outer sides of the window frame 2, the adjusting bolt is tightened so that the adjusting bolt and the other of the two first clamping parts 122 are clamped together on the window frame 2. For easy adjustment, the end of the first adjusting member 124 is provided with a hand-tightening part, which makes it easy for the user to apply force to tighten the first adjusting member 124.
[0079] Furthermore, to reduce damage to the window frame 2 caused by the first window mounting part 12, a buffer pad is provided at the end of the first adjusting member 124 located between the two first clamping parts 122. This increases the friction between the first adjusting member 124 and the window frame 2, reducing the possibility of the first window mounting part 12 accidentally detaching. The first adjusting member 124 can be located on the side of the first clamping part 122 facing the interior space, i.e., the first adjusting member 124 is positioned facing inwards, thus facilitating user operation. In other embodiments, the first adjusting member 124 can also be located on the side of the first clamping part 122 facing the exterior space. This solution does not limit this; as long as the effective clamping distance between the two first clamping parts 122 can be adjusted, it is within the protection scope of this solution. In other embodiments, one of the two first clamping parts 122 can also be slidably mounted on the first connecting part 121, thereby directly adjusting the distance between the two first clamping parts 122.
[0080] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the side frame 22 has opposing inner and outer retaining edges 23; a first clamping part 122 abuts against the inner side of the inner retaining edge, and another first clamping part 122 abuts against the outer side of the outer retaining edge 23; or, two first clamping parts 122 abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer retaining edge 23 respectively. Specifically, for some window types, such as sliding windows 24, the window frame 2 has an outer retaining edge 23 and an inner retaining edge, and the outer retaining edge 23 and the inner retaining edge together form a slot for the side of the window 24 to be inserted. In this case, the width of the inner retaining edge and the outer retaining edge 23 are basically equal; or for sliding or push-pull windows 24, the outer retaining edge 23 can abut against the outer edge of the window 24 to improve the closing effect of the window 24. In this case, the inner retaining edge is generally smaller in width and has lower locking stability. Refer to Figure 15If one first clamping part 122 abuts against the inner side of the inner stop edge, and the other first clamping part 122 abuts against the outer side of the outer stop edge 23, that is, the first clamping groove 123 clamps the entire side frame 22, it helps to ensure the stable installation of the first window mounting part 12. (Refer to...) Figure 11 If the two first clamping parts 122 abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer edge 23, that is, the first clamping groove 123 only clamps part of the side frame 22, it basically does not affect the normal closing of the window 24, thereby further improving the installation adaptability of the mounting bracket 1. The user can adjust the effective clamping width of the first clamping groove 123 through the first adjusting member 124 according to the actual window type, and then select different clamping positions, thereby further improving the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 1.
[0081] When the bracket body 14 is installed on the first clamping part 122, in an embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figures 1 to 5 The mounting part 126 is provided on the first clamping part 122, and the mounting part 126 has a first flange 127 on the side facing the bracket body 14, and the bracket body 14 has a second flange 141 on the side facing the mounting part 126. The first flange 127 is inserted between the second flange 141 and the bracket body 14, and the second flange 141 is inserted between the first flange 127 and the mounting part 126. Specifically, the first mounting part 126 protrudes from the first clamping part 122, that is, the first mounting part 126 protrudes from the side facing the outdoor space, and the mounting part 126 is continuously folded on the side facing the bracket body 14 to form a first flange 127. The first flange 127 is roughly parallel to the main body of the mounting part 126, thus forming a hook-like structure. Correspondingly, the bracket body 14 is continuously folded on the side facing the mounting part 126 to form a second flange 141. The second flange 141 is roughly parallel to the main body of the bracket body 14, thus also forming a hook-like structure. The two hook-like structures hook each other, so that the first flange 127 is inserted between the second flange 141 and the bracket body 14, and the second flange 141 is inserted between the first flange 127 and the mounting part 126. This facilitates the installation of the bracket body 14 and the first clamping part 122, and also ensures the connection strength between the bracket body 14 and the first clamping part 122.
[0082] Furthermore, limiting flanges 128 are provided on opposite sides of the mounting portion 126. The limiting flanges 128 are arranged adjacent to the first flange 127, and the limiting flanges 128 can limit the second flange 141 from engaging with the first flange 127 and the mounting portion 126. Specifically, the limiting flanges 128 are located on both sides of the mounting portion 126, and the limiting flanges 128 are arranged adjacent to the first flange 127, so that the two limiting flanges 128 and the main body of the mounting portion 126 together form a guide limiting groove. On the one hand, this guides the engagement between the mounting portion 126 and the bracket body 14, and on the other hand, it prevents the mounting portion 126 and the bracket body 14 from misaligning, thereby reducing the possibility of the mounting portion 126 and the bracket body 14 detaching from each other.
[0083] Furthermore, the mounting portion 126 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the end of the bracket body 14 facing the first window mounting portion 12 is provided with a second mounting hole. A fastener 111 is fastened to both the first and second mounting holes. Specifically, the first mounting hole passes through the mounting portion 126, and the second mounting hole passes through the bracket body 14. The fastener 111 can pass through the first mounting hole, thereby fastening to the second mounting hole, further fixing the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting portion 12. In other embodiments, the fastener 111 can also pass through the second mounting hole and be fastened to the first mounting hole. The fastener 111 can be configured as a screw, meaning the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting portion 12 are simultaneously connected by screw fastening and snap-fit. This snap-fit connection can also serve as a pre-fixed structure for the screw fastening connection, thus facilitating the installation of the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting portion 12 while ensuring the connection strength.
[0084] When the bracket body 14 is installed on the first connecting part 121, in an embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figures 6 to 9 The mounting part 126 is provided on the first connecting part 121, and the first connecting part 121 has a locking hole 129. The side of the bracket body 14 facing the window mounting bracket 11 has a plug-in part 142, which is plugged into the locking hole 129. Specifically, the locking hole 129 is provided on the first connecting part 121, so the bracket body 14 and the window frame 2 are at least partially overlapped. The side of the bracket body 14 facing the window mounting bracket 11 has a clearance notch 143, so that the side of the bracket body 14 forms the plug-in part 142, which facilitates the plug-in part 142 to be plugged into the locking hole 129. At the same time, the corner of the first window mounting part 12 can also be engaged with the clearance notch 143, thereby helping to improve the engagement stability of the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting part 12. In other embodiments, the plug-in part 142 may also be directly protruding from the side of the bracket body 14 facing the window mounting bracket 11.
[0085] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 144 is provided on the side of the insertion part 142. When the insertion part 142 is inserted into the locking hole 129, the limiting protrusion 144 abuts against the edge of the locking hole 129 on the side away from the bracket body 14. Specifically, the limiting protrusion 144 protrudes from the opening edge of the avoidance notch 143. The limiting protrusion 144 passes through the locking hole 129 with the insertion part 142 and abuts against the edge of the locking hole 129 on the side away from the bracket body 14, thereby preventing the insertion part 142 from disengaging from the locking hole 129 and improving the locking stability of the two.
[0086] Furthermore, the mounting portion 126 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the bracket body 14 has a second mounting hole at the end facing the first window mounting portion 12. The fastener 111 is fastened to the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. Specifically, the first connecting portion 121 has a mounting portion 126, the first mounting hole passing through the mounting portion 126, and the second mounting hole passing through the bracket body 14. The fastener 111 can pass through the second mounting hole, thereby fastening to the first mounting hole, further fixing the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting portion 12. The fastener 111 can be configured as a fastening screw, that is, the fastening screw passes through the bracket body 14 and is threadedly connected to the mounting portion 126. Therefore, the mounting portion 126 is partially thickened to increase the threaded connection length between the fastening screw and the mounting portion 126, thereby reducing the possibility of the fastening screw stripping. The bracket body 14 and the first window mounting part 12 are connected by both screw fastening and snap-fit. The snap-fit connection also serves as a pre-fixing structure for the screw fastening connection, thus facilitating the installation of the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting part 12 while ensuring the connection strength between them. In other embodiments, the fastener 111 can also pass through the first mounting hole and be securely connected to the second mounting hole.
[0087] To further improve the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 1, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 and Figure 7The first window mounting part 12 has mounting parts 126 at both its upper and lower ends, and the bracket body 14 is selectively mounted on one of the two mounting parts 126. It is understood that the window frame 2 has two oppositely arranged side frames 22, designated as the left side frame 221 and the right side frame 222. If the first window mounting part 12 is mounted on the left side frame 221, the bracket body 14 is mounted on the mounting part 126 at the lower end of the first window mounting part 12. However, if it is necessary to replace the first window mounting part 12 to the right side frame 222, it is only necessary to rotate the first window mounting part 12 180° vertically. At this time, the bracket body 14 is connected to the original upper mounting part 126 (now the lower end) of the first window mounting part 12. Therefore, the mounting bracket 1 only needs to be provided with one first window mounting part 12, which can achieve flexible installation on the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 1, thereby saving materials and improving installation flexibility. Furthermore, the left and right sides of the bracket body 14 are also provided with structures corresponding to the mounting part 126, which facilitates the flexible selection of the position of the bracket body 14 relative to the window and further improves the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 1.
[0088] Please see Figures 10 to 16 In one embodiment, the window mounting bracket 11 further includes a second window mounting portion 13, which is connected to the bracket body 14 and the first window mounting portion 12 respectively. The second window mounting portion 13 is used for mounting on the bottom frame 21. Specifically, the second window mounting portion 13 is used for mounting on the bottom frame 21, that is, the window mounting bracket 11 is simultaneously mounted on the bottom frame 21 and at least one side frame 22, thereby further improving the installation strength of the window mounting bracket 11. Furthermore, the second window mounting portion 13 is connected to the first window mounting portion 12, that is, the window mounting bracket 11 is integrally formed, thereby further improving the structural strength of the window mounting bracket 11. Furthermore, the window mounting bracket 11 and the bracket body 14 are integrally formed, thereby further improving the connection strength between the two.
[0089] In an embodiment of this utility model, the second window mounting portion 13 includes a second connecting portion 131 that overlaps the bottom frame 21 and two second clamping portions 132 that are bent and connected to the second connecting portion 131. The two second clamping portions 132 are arranged at intervals to jointly clamp the window frame 2, and one of the two second clamping portions 132 is provided with a second adjusting member 134, which presses the window frame 2 against the other second clamping portion 132. Specifically, the second connecting portion 131 overlaps the bottom frame 21, and the two second clamping portions 132 are bent and connected to the second connecting portion 131 and are arranged at intervals, so that the second connecting portion 131 and the two second clamping portions 132 are generally arranged in a "U" shape, thereby forming a second clamping groove 133 for clamping the bottom frame 21 to jointly clamp the window frame 2.
[0090] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the second clamping part 13 onto the window frame 2, the distance between the two second clamping parts 132 is often greater than the thickness of the window frame 2. Therefore, to ensure that the two second clamping parts 132 can clamp the window frame 2, one of the two second clamping parts 132 is provided with a second adjusting member 134. The second adjusting member 134 presses the window frame 2 against the other second clamping part 132. The second adjusting member 134 can adjust the effective clamping distance between the two second clamping parts 132. In this embodiment, the second adjusting member 134 is configured as an adjusting bolt rotatably mounted on one of the two second clamping parts 132. When the two second clamping parts 132 are located on the inner and outer sides of the window frame 2, the adjusting bolt is tightened so that the adjusting bolt and the other of the two second clamping parts 132 are clamped together on the window frame 2. For easy adjustment, the end of the second adjusting member 134 is provided with a hand-tightening part, which makes it easy for the user to apply force to tighten the second adjusting member 134. Furthermore, to reduce damage to the window frame 2 caused by the second window mounting part 13, the second adjusting member 134 is provided with buffer pads at the ends of the two second clamping parts 132, which also increases the friction between the second adjusting member 134 and the window frame 2, reducing the possibility of the second window mounting part 13 accidentally detaching. The second adjusting member 134 can be located on the side of the second clamping part 132 facing the indoor space, thus facilitating user operation. In other embodiments, the second adjusting member 134 can also be located on the side of the second clamping part 132 facing the outdoor space. This solution is not limited to this; as long as the effective clamping distance of the two second clamping parts 132 can be adjusted, it is within the protection scope of this solution. In other embodiments, one of the two second clamping parts 132 can also be slidably mounted on the second connecting part 131, thereby directly adjusting the distance between the two second clamping parts 132.
[0091] Furthermore, the first window mounting portion 12 is provided with a first adjusting member 124, and the second window mounting portion 13 is provided with a second adjusting member 134. This means that the clamping thickness of both the first window mounting portion 12 and the second window mounting portion 13 is adjustable, and they can simultaneously clamp the window frame 2. Therefore, if the clamping of one of the first window mounting portion 12 or the second window mounting portion 13 fails, the other can still provide clamping force, thereby reducing the possibility of the window mounting bracket 11 accidentally detaching from the window frame 2. In other embodiments, when the window mounting bracket 11 has both a first window mounting portion 12 and a second window mounting portion 13, the second adjusting member 134 can be provided only on the second window mounting portion 13; or, the first adjusting member 124 can be provided only on the first window mounting portion 12.
[0092] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 15 The bottom frame 21 also has an inner and outer edge 23; a second clamping part 132 abuts against the inner side of the inner edge, and another second clamping part 132 abuts against the outer side of the outer edge 23, that is, the first clamping groove 123 clamps the entire side frame 22, which helps to ensure the stable installation of the first window mounting part 12.
[0093] In another embodiment, reference Figure 11 Two first clamping parts 122 respectively abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer edge 23. That is, the first clamping groove 123 only clamps part of the side frame 22, which basically does not affect the normal closing of the window 24, thereby further improving the installation adaptability of the mounting bracket 1. The user can adjust the effective clamping width of the first clamping groove 123 through the first adjusting member 124 according to the actual window type, and then select different clamping positions, thereby further improving the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 1.
[0094] Furthermore, the first window mounting part 12 and the second window mounting part 13 can be simultaneously snapped onto the inner and outer sides of the window frame 2 or simultaneously snapped onto the outer edge 23; alternatively, the first window mounting part 12 can be snapped onto the inner and outer sides of the side frame 22, and the second window mounting part 13 can be snapped onto the outer edge 23; or, the first window mounting part 12 can be snapped onto the outer edge 23, and the second window mounting part 13 can be snapped onto the inner and outer sides of the bottom frame 21; users can choose flexibly according to their actual needs.
[0095] Please see Figures 10 to 16 In the embodiments of this utility model, the first window mounting part 12 and the second window mounting part 13 are integrally formed, and there are two first window mounting parts 12, which are respectively located at opposite ends of the second window mounting part 13. Specifically, since the first window mounting part 12 and the second window mounting part 13 are integrally formed, in order to improve the installation flexibility of the window mounting bracket 11, the first window mounting part 12 is provided at both the left and right ends of the second window mounting part 13. When the mounting bracket 1 needs to be installed on the left side frame 221 and the bottom frame 21, the first window mounting part 12 on the left side is installed on the left side frame 221, the second window mounting part 13 is installed on the bottom frame 21, and the first window mounting part 12 on the right side is left unused. When the mounting bracket 1 needs to be installed on the right side frame 222 and the bottom frame 21, the first window mounting part 12 on the right side is installed on the right side frame 222, the second window mounting part 13 is installed on the bottom frame 21, and the first window mounting part 12 on the left side is left unused. This allows the window mounting bracket 11 to be installed on both the left side frame 221 and the right side frame 222, thereby improving the installation flexibility of the window mounting bracket 11.
[0096] In other embodiments, the first window mounting portion 12 can be detachably mounted to both the second window mounting portion 13 and the bracket body 14. Only one first window mounting portion 12 can be provided. When the mounting bracket 1 needs to be installed on the right side frame 222 and the bottom frame 21, the first window mounting portion 12 can be detachably mounted on the right side of the second window mounting portion 13. When the mounting bracket 1 needs to be installed on the left side frame 221 and the bottom frame 21, the first window mounting portion 12 can be detachably mounted on the left side of the second window mounting portion 13.
[0097] Please see Figures 1 to 16In an embodiment of this utility model, the bracket body 14 includes a load-bearing bracket 147 and a support bracket 16 arranged at an angle. The load-bearing bracket 147 is connected to the window mounting bracket 11 and extends out of the window in a first direction. The upper surface of the load-bearing bracket 147 is used for the installation of the outdoor air conditioning unit 4. The upper end of the support bracket 16 is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 147, and the lower end abuts against the external wall 3.
[0098] Specifically, to ensure the structural strength of the load-bearing bracket 147 and reduce its weight, the load-bearing bracket 147 typically includes multiple load-bearing arms 145 spaced apart along a second direction and extending along a first direction, and multiple connecting arms 146 spaced apart along the second direction. Each end of a connecting arm 146 is connected to one of the load-bearing arms 145, thus making the load-bearing bracket 147 frame-like in shape. The first window mounting portion 12 is connected to the load-bearing bracket 147 near a corner. For ease of installation, the load-bearing bracket 147 often has a pre-installation position and a fixed position. The pre-installation position is used for pre-positioning the outdoor unit 4, and then pushing or pulling the outdoor unit 4 along the first direction to slide it to the fixed position, thereby fixing the outdoor unit 4 in place. Therefore, the side of the load-bearing bracket 147 away from the window mounting bracket 11 often also has a limiting bracket 15. When the outdoor unit 4 slides to the fixed position, the limiting bracket 15 can limit the outdoor unit 4, preventing it from sliding further. Therefore, the limiting bracket 15 can protrude from the upper surface of the load-bearing bracket 147 on the side away from the window mounting bracket 11, so that when the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner slides to the fixed position, the limiting bracket 15 abuts against the side of the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner away from the window, thereby facilitating the limiting bracket 15 to be limited.
[0099] Furthermore, to further improve the support stability of the mounting bracket 1 for the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner, the upper end of the support bracket 16 is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 147, and the lower end is used for installation on the wall 3. The support bracket 16 and the load-bearing bracket 147 are often set at an angle. To reduce damage to the wall 3 caused by the mounting bracket 1, the support bracket 16 only needs to abut against the wall 3, without a direct connection, thus avoiding damage to the wall 3 and facilitating the installation of the mounting bracket 1. At this time, a stable triangular structure is formed between the wall 3, the support bracket 16, and the load-bearing bracket 147, greatly increasing the support stability of the mounting bracket 1. The load-bearing bracket 147 has multiple adjustment positions arranged along the first direction. The upper end of the support bracket 16 is selectively installed on one of these adjustment positions, facilitating the adjustment of the angle between the wall 3, the support bracket 16, and the load-bearing bracket 147, allowing the user to adjust the appropriate installation angle according to the actual wall 3 conditions.
[0100] Please see Figures 17 to 19In an embodiment of this utility model, the bracket body 14 includes a first support frame 17 and a second support frame 171. The first support frame 17 is connected to the window mounting bracket 11 and extends partially out of the window along a first direction. The second support frame 171 includes a fixing part 172 and a supporting part 173 arranged at an angle. The fixing part 172 is connected to the first support frame 17 and extends downward. One end of the supporting part 173 is connected to the fixing part 172, and the other end abuts against the external wall 3. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner 4 is installed on the side of the fixing part 172 away from the external wall 3.
[0101] Specifically, the first support frame 17 includes a first extension 174 and a second extension 175 arranged at an angle. The first extension 174 extends out of the window in a first direction, and the second extension 175 extends downward to connect with the fixing part 172, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the first support frame 17 and the second support frame 171. The support part 173 is arranged at an angle with the fixing part 172, and one end of the support part 173 is connected to the fixing part 172, while the other end abuts against the external wall 3. The outdoor air conditioner unit 4 is installed on the side of the fixing part 172 away from the external wall 3, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit 4 can press the support part 173 against the external wall 3, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the bracket body 14. Moreover, this installation structure can at least partially hide the outdoor air conditioner unit 4 to the bottom of the window, thereby avoiding interference between the outdoor air conditioner unit 4 and the window, allowing the window to be opened normally, thus avoiding the impact of the installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit 4 on the window, and ensuring the ventilation and light transmission effect of the window.
[0102] Preferably, the first extension 174 and the second extension 175 are arranged perpendicularly, and the fixing part 172 and the support part 173 are also arranged perpendicularly, so that the bracket body 14 and the external wall 3 enclose a stable quadrilateral structure, which helps to ensure the stable placement of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4. Furthermore, an adjustment position can be provided between the second extension 175 and the fixing part 172, so that the distance between the second extension 175 and the fixing part 172 is adjustable, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation height of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4. Preferably, the first extension 174 and the second extension 175 are integrally formed, and the fixing part 172 and the support part 173 are also integrally formed.
[0103] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit 4 and a mounting bracket 1. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 1 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.
