Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air conditioner mounting bracket, and more particularly to a fixing bracket that facilitates the installation of air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are an essential household appliance in our daily lives, mainly composed of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. During installation, the indoor unit is located indoors and is relatively easy to install. The outdoor unit is usually suspended outdoors, requiring installers to first install a mounting bracket on the wall and then secure the outdoor unit to the bracket. The current problem is that it's difficult for the air conditioner installers and the overhead crane operators to maintain coordination. During adjustments, the air conditioner often becomes lowered, leading to misalignment of the bolt holes. This necessitates re-lifting the air conditioner and readjusting it, repeating this process multiple times, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting bracket that facilitates air conditioner installation, so as to solve the problem of difficulty in positioning the outdoor unit during the installation of existing air conditioner outdoor units.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A mounting bracket for easy air conditioner installation, including

[0006] A triangular bracket has a horizontally extending beam arm with bolt holes provided on the beam arm;

[0007] The fixing bolts and studs are installed by passing through the bolt holes from bottom to top;

[0008] The card holder includes a base plate and symmetrically arranged claws on both sides of the base plate. The card holder is U-shaped. When the card holder is installed on the beam arm, the base plate is supported by the lower end face of the fixing bolt.

[0009] A guiding mechanism includes a connecting seat and a guide belt. The connecting seat is screwed to the upper end of a fixing bolt, and the guide belt is connected to the upper end of the connecting seat.

[0010] Preferably, the beam arm has downwardly recessed clearance grooves on both sides, and after the card holder is installed on the beam arm, the upper end face of the card claw is set lower than the upper surface of the beam arm.

[0011] Preferably, the base plate has a hexagonal anti-rotation hole, and the lower end of the fixing bolt extends into the anti-rotation hole in a non-rotatable manner.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting stud is coaxially provided at the upper end of the fixing bolt, the diameter of the connecting stud is smaller than the diameter of the stud of the fixing bolt, and the connecting seat is screwed onto the connecting stud; the connecting seat is frustoconical in shape, and its diameter gradually increases from top to bottom until it is the same as the diameter of the stud of the fixing bolt.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting seat is coaxially provided with a hexagonal rotating part.

[0014] Preferably, a transition sleeve is fitted onto the connecting seat, and the transition sleeve covers the outside of the rotating part.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: When installing an air conditioner outdoor unit on a mounting bracket, the worker first passes the guide strap of the guide mechanism through the bolt holes at the bottom of the air conditioner from bottom to top. Then, the air conditioner outdoor unit is slowly lowered, and the guide strap is straightened during the descent so that the air conditioner outdoor unit descends along the guide strap. Subsequently, the bolt holes at the bottom of the air conditioner are fitted onto the fixing bolts due to the guiding effect. With this solution, when installing the air conditioner outdoor unit, simply passing the guide strap through the bolt holes at the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit and pulling the guide strap upwards ensures that the bolt holes on the air conditioner outdoor unit are aligned with the bolt holes on the beam arm, thus facilitating the installation of the air conditioner.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 The illustration shows a mounting bracket for easy air conditioner installation, comprising two paired triangular brackets 1 for supporting the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Each triangular bracket 1 has a horizontally extending beam arm 11 with two bolt holes 12 that are adapted to the span of bolt holes at the bottom of the outdoor unit.

[0024] Corresponding fixing bolts 2 are inserted into the bolt holes 12 of the beam arm. It should be noted that, as... Figure 2 As shown, in this scheme, the stud of the fixing bolt 2 is set from bottom to top through the bolt hole 12 on the beam arm 11.

[0025] Meanwhile, a bracket 3 corresponding to the number of fixing bolts 2 is also installed on the beam arm 12 to fix the fixing bolts, ensuring that the fixing bolts will not fall out of the bolt holes 12 of the beam arm 11 during air conditioner installation. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 3 is U-shaped, including a base plate 31 and symmetrically arranged claws 32 on both sides of the base plate. When installing the fixing bolts, place the fixing bolts on the base plate 31 of the mounting bracket 3, and then press the mounting bracket upwards so that the claws of the mounting bracket engage with both sides of the beam arm, realizing the engagement between the mounting bracket and the beam arm. At this time, the bottom of the fixing bolt 2 is held in place by the base plate 31 of the mounting bracket, and will not fall off when the worker releases his hand or when the fixing bolt is subjected to heavy pressure.

[0026] It's important to note that in this design, a guide mechanism 4 is connected to the fixing bolts to align the bolt holes at the bottom of the outdoor unit with those on the beam arm. Specifically, this guide mechanism comprises a connecting seat 41 and a guide belt 42. The connecting seat 41 is screwed onto the upper end of the fixing bolt to achieve a coaxial connection between the guide mechanism 4 and the fixing bolt. The guide belt 42 is made of high-strength, abrasion-resistant nylon. This guide belt is connected to the upper part of the connecting seat 41. When installing the outdoor unit, the guide belt is passed through the bolt holes at the bottom of the outdoor unit. With the worker slightly above the mounting frame, they can pull the guide belt 42 upwards and straighten it, allowing the bolt holes at the bottom of the outdoor unit to descend along the guide belt, ultimately fitting the bolt holes of the outdoor unit onto the fixing bolts 2. At this point, the bolt holes on the outdoor unit and the bolt holes on the beam arm 11 are aligned. It's important to know that during the alignment process, both bolt holes on the same side need to be aligned simultaneously. This ensures that the bolt holes on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, located on the same side, are properly fitted onto the corresponding fixing bolts. After this process, the bolt holes on one side of the air conditioner are aligned, and the other side will automatically align as well, greatly simplifying the installation of the air conditioner.

[0027] Based on the aforementioned mechanism, this solution also makes the following improvements to enhance the stability of the air conditioner placed on the beam arm 11. A downwardly recessed clearance groove 13 is provided on both sides of the beam arm. When the mounting bracket 3 is engaged with the beam arm 11, the upper end faces of the two claws 32 on the mounting bracket are lower than the highest plane of the beam arm. That is, when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is placed on the beam arm, it does not contact the mounting bracket, which has a small bearing area and low strength, but rather contacts the beam arm, which has a large bearing area and high strength.

[0028] Based on the above mechanism, this solution also makes the following improvements: After the fixing bolt 2 passes through the bolt hole at the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the nut needs to be screwed onto the fixing bolt. At this time, a wrench is also needed to lock the hexagonal head terminal of the fixing bolt, which is very inconvenient. To improve convenience, an anti-rotation hole 33 is provided on the base plate 31. This anti-rotation hole is adapted to the hexagonal head terminal at the lower end of the fixing bolt to ensure that after the bracket is installed on the beam arm, the hexagonal head terminal of the fixing bolt cannot be rotated into the anti-rotation hole.

[0029] Furthermore, to ensure a smoother connection between the bolt holes of the outdoor unit and the fixing bolt 2 during the alignment process, the guide mechanism 4 guides the bolts more smoothly. A connecting stud 21 is coaxially mounted on the upper end of the fixing bolt 2; the diameter of this connecting stud is smaller than that of the fixing bolt stud. The connecting seat is screwed onto this connecting stud. It should be noted that, as... Figure 2 As shown, the connecting seat 41 is truncated cone-shaped, and its diameter gradually increases from top to bottom until it is the same as the diameter of the stud of the fixing bolt.

[0030] In addition, to facilitate the easy fixing of the guide mechanism 4 to the fixing bolt and subsequent quick removal of the guide mechanism from the fixing bolt, a hexagonal rotating part 43 is coaxially provided on the connecting seat 41. It should be noted that this rotating part is consistent with the hexagonal terminal size of a standard bolt, meaning that the rotating guide part can be rotated with the aid of a common wrench.

[0031] It should also be noted that, in order to prevent the bolt holes of the outdoor unit from getting stuck at the pivot part 43 when the outdoor unit falls, a transition sleeve 44 is also fitted on the connecting seat 41. The transition sleeve is conical and will block the inwardly concave pivot part 43 when it falls completely onto the connecting part.

[0032] Working Principle: When installing the outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the worker places the hexagonal terminal of the fixing bolt into the anti-rotation hole, and then snaps the bracket onto the beam arm. At this time, the stud of the fixing bolt passes through the bolt hole on the beam arm. Next, the worker screws the guide mechanism onto the connecting stud of the fixing bolt using the turning part. Then, the transition sleeve is placed on the connecting part to block the concave turning part. After the above steps are completed, the two guide strips on the same side are distributed through the corresponding bolt holes of the outdoor unit. The worker then straightens the guide strips vertically, and the outdoor unit can be lowered. As the outdoor unit descends, the bolt holes of the outdoor unit, guided by the guide strips, are accurately aligned with the fixing bolts, and the outdoor unit is placed correctly on the mounting bracket. At this point, the guide mechanism is removed from the fixing bolt, and then a nut is tightened on the fixing bolt to ensure a secure connection between the outdoor unit and the mounting bracket. This process is convenient and quick.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
