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] Air conditioner outdoor units need to be installed on the exterior wall or window frame of a building using mounting brackets, but traditional installation methods for air conditioner outdoor units often damage the window frame or wall. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting bracket and an air conditioner that aims to reduce damage to window frames or walls caused by the mounting bracket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the mounting bracket proposed in this utility model includes:

[0006] The main support frame, located on the outside of the window frame, is used for installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner; and

[0007] A window mounting bracket includes a first clamping member connected to the bracket body and a second clamping member disposed on the side of the first clamping member away from the bracket body. The first clamping member and the second clamping member together clamp the window frame, and the distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member is adjustable.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first clamping member includes a first clamping portion and a first connecting portion arranged at an angle, and the second clamping member includes a second clamping portion and a second connecting portion arranged at an angle. The second clamping portion is disposed opposite to the first clamping portion, the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion are slidably connected, and an adjustment structure is provided between the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion to adjust the distance between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion.

[0009] In one embodiment, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment hole provided in one of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and a connection hole provided in the other. The adjustment hole extends along the arrangement direction of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion. The adjustment member passes through the adjustment hole and can be securely connected to the connection hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the adjusting element is configured as one of an adjusting screw, an adjusting bolt, and a locking device.

[0011] In one embodiment, a limiting structure is further provided between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, the limiting structure being able to restrict the sliding direction of the second connecting portion and / or the first connecting portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a first flange bent and connected to opposite sides of the first connecting portion, and a second flange bent and connected to opposite sides of the second connecting portion, wherein the second flange and the second connecting portion define a limiting groove, and the first connecting portion and the first flange are slidably installed in the limiting groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, a first stop flange is provided at the end of the second flange away from the second clamping part, and the first stop flange can prevent the first flange from coming out of the limiting groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, a first reinforcing rib is provided at the corner of the first clamping part and the first connecting part; and / or, a second reinforcing rib is provided at the corner of the second clamping part and the second connecting part.

[0015] In one embodiment, the inner side of the first clamping part is provided with a first anti-slip part; and / or, the inner side of the second clamping part is provided with a second anti-slip part.

[0016] In one embodiment, the bracket body includes a first support frame and a second support frame. The first support frame is connected to the window mounting bracket and extends partially out of the window along a first direction. The second support frame includes a fixing part and a supporting part arranged at an angle. The fixing part is connected to the first support frame and extends downward. One end of the supporting part is connected to the fixing part, and the other end abuts against the external wall. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed on the side of the fixing part away from the external wall. The first support frame is connected to the lower side of the first clamping part, and the first connecting part is located on the upper side of the first clamping part; or,

[0017] The main body of the bracket includes a load-bearing bracket and a support bracket arranged at an angle, with the load-bearing bracket extending out of the window along a first direction; the upper surface of the load-bearing bracket is used for the installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the upper end of the support bracket is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket, and the lower end abuts against the external wall; the load-bearing bracket is connected to the first connecting part, and the first clamping part is located on the side of the first connecting part away from the load-bearing bracket.

[0018] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and a mounting bracket as described above, wherein the mounting bracket mounts the outdoor unit to the outside of a window.

[0019] In one embodiment, the air conditioner further includes an indoor unit;

[0020] The indoor unit of the air conditioner is connected to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner via a refrigerant pipe, which is pre-filled with refrigerant; and / or, the compressor of the mounting bracket is located on the indoor unit of the air conditioner; and / or, the bottom of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is provided with casters.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting up a bracket body, which is located on the outside of the window frame and is used for installing an outdoor air conditioner unit. The window mounting bracket includes a first clamping member connected to the bracket body and a second clamping member located on the side of the first clamping member away from the bracket body. The first clamping member and the second clamping member together clamp the window frame, that is, the first clamping member and the second clamping member together form a clamping groove for clamping the window frame, thereby eliminating the need to drill holes on the surface of the window frame, reducing damage to the window frame during the installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit, and thus improving the versatility of the mounting bracket.

[0022] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the window bracket onto the window frame, the distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member is adjustable. This allows the clamping width of the clamping groove to be set to a larger value during actual installation, making it easier for the window frame to be fitted in. Then, to ensure that the first and second clamping members can clamp the window frame tightly, the clamping width of the clamping groove is reduced. This can be achieved by directly adjusting the distance between the first and second clamping members to adjust the clamping width of the clamping groove, which is both convenient for installation and ensures installation stability.

[0045] This utility model proposes a mounting bracket 1 for installing an outdoor air conditioner unit 4 in an outdoor space. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit 4, and a flexible connecting assembly. The flexible connecting 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 assembling the refrigerant pipes and adding refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and enabling users to install themselves. 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 4 refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outside. The mounting bracket 1 can install the outdoor unit 4 on an external wall 3 or an external windowsill.

[0046] 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.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 12 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket 1 includes:

[0048] The main support body 11 is located on the outside of the window frame 2 and is used for installing the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner; and

[0049] The window mounting bracket 12 includes a first clamping member 121 connected to the bracket body 11 and a second clamping member 122 disposed on the side of the first clamping member 121 away from the bracket body 11. The first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 together clamp the window frame 2, and the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 is adjustable.

[0050] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 can install the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner on the outside of the window. In the prior art, the mounting bracket 1 is usually fixed to the external wall 3 or window frame 2 by screws or other structures, which will inevitably damage the wall or window frame 2. However, in some countries (parts of Europe), it is not allowed to drill holes in the external wall 3 when installing the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner, and it is not allowed to damage the furniture. Even if it is allowed, it often requires professional installers to install it, which is not only time-consuming but also expensive, making the window mounting bracket 12 in the prior art unsuitable.

[0051] Therefore, the window mounting bracket 12 in this solution includes a first clamping member 121 connected to the bracket body 11 and a second clamping member 122 disposed on the side of the first clamping member 121 away from the bracket body 11. The first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are at least partially disposed on opposite sides of the window frame 2, so that the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 together clamp the window frame 2. That is, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 together form a clamping groove for clamping the window frame 2, thereby eliminating the need to drill holes on the surface of the window frame 2, reducing damage to the window frame 2 during the installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit 4, and thus improving the versatility of the mounting bracket 1.

[0052] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the window mounting bracket 12 onto the window frame 2, the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 is adjustable, meaning the clamping width of the clamping groove is adjustable. Understandably, during actual installation, to facilitate the installation of the window mounting bracket 12 onto the window frame 2, the clamping width of the clamping groove is often required to be relatively large (i.e., the width of the clamping groove is often greater than the thickness of the portion of the window frame 2 that needs to be clamped). Then, to ensure that the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can clamp the window frame 2 tightly, the clamping width of the clamping groove needs to be reduced. Therefore, the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 is adjustable, allowing direct adjustment of the clamping width of the clamping groove by adjusting the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122. This facilitates installation while ensuring installation stability.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can be directly disposed on the inner and outer sides of the window frame 2, thereby jointly clamping the entire thickness of the window frame 2; in other embodiments, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can also clamp a portion of the thickness of the window frame 2. In one embodiment, the window frame 2 has opposing inner and outer edges; the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 respectively abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer edge. Specifically, for some window types, such as sliding windows, the window frame 2 has an outer edge and an inner edge, and the outer edge and the inner edge together form a slot for the bottom edge of the window to be inserted, in which case the width of the inner edge and the outer edge are basically equal; or for flat-push or push-pull windows, the outer edge can abut against the outer edge of the window to improve the closing effect of the window, in which case the inner edge is generally smaller in width and has lower clamping stability. The first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer edge, respectively, that is, only clamping a portion of the window frame 2. At this point, it basically does not affect the normal closing of the window, thereby further improving the installation adaptability of the mounting bracket 1. Users can adjust the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 according to the actual window type, and then select different clamping positions, thereby further improving the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 1.

[0054] Optionally, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are jointly clamped to the bottom edge of the window frame 2. In other embodiments, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 may also be jointly clamped to the bottom edge and one of the side edges of the window frame 2, or the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 may be jointly clamped to the side edge of the window frame 2. The window mounting bracket 12 can be integrally formed with the bracket body 11, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 1 and reducing assembly steps. Of course, in other embodiments, the window mounting bracket 12 may also be welded or snapped to the bracket body 11, or screwed and fastened to the bracket body 11.

[0055] In one embodiment, the inner side of the first clamping part 123 is provided with a first anti-slip part, and the inner side of the second clamping part 125 is provided with a second anti-slip part. That is, the inner wall of the clamping groove is provided with an anti-slip part, thereby reducing the possibility of relative movement between the clamping groove and the window frame 2, which could affect the window mounting stability of the window mounting bracket 12. Both the first and second anti-slip parts can be configured as flexible anti-slip pads, which can increase friction and provide cushioning for the contact between the first clamping part 123, the second clamping part 125, and the window frame 2, thereby further reducing the possibility of damage to the window frame 2. Alternatively, only the inner side of the first clamping part 123 may have the first anti-slip part; or only the inner side of the second clamping part 125 may have the second anti-slip part.

[0056] In an embodiment of this utility model, the first clamping member 121 includes a first clamping portion 123 and a first connecting portion 124 arranged at an angle, and the second clamping member 122 includes a second clamping portion 125 and a second connecting portion 126 arranged at an angle. The second clamping portion 125 is arranged opposite to the first clamping portion 123, the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 are slidably connected, and an adjustment structure is provided between the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 to adjust the distance between the first clamping portion 123 and the second clamping portion 125.

[0057] Specifically, the first clamping part 123 and the first connecting part 124 are bent and connected, and the second clamping part 125 and the second connecting part 126 are also bent and connected. The second connecting part 126 and the first connecting part 124 are slidably connected. The second clamping part 125 is arranged opposite to the first clamping part 123, so that the first clamping part 123, the first connecting part 124, the second clamping part 125 and the second connecting part 126 together form a roughly "U" shaped structure, thereby forming a clamping groove for clamping the window frame 2. An adjustment structure is provided between the first connecting part 124 and the second connecting part 126. In the adjustment state, the second connecting part 126 and the first connecting part 124 can slide relative to each other, thereby adjusting the width of the clamping groove. In the locked state, the first connecting part 124 and the second connecting part 126 can be fixed relative to each other, thereby clamping the window frame 2 with the clamping groove.

[0058] Preferably, the first clamping portion 123 and the first connecting portion 124 are integrally formed, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the first clamping member 121 and facilitating its assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the first clamping portion 123 and the first connecting portion 124 can also be snap-fitted, welded, or fastened with screws. The second clamping portion 125 and the second connecting portion 126 are integrally formed, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the second clamping member 122 and facilitating its assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the second clamping portion 125 and the second connecting portion 126 can also be snap-fitted, welded, or fastened with screws.

[0059] Furthermore, to ensure the structural strength of the first clamping member 121 and reduce the possibility of positional deformation of the first clamping part 123 and the first connecting part 124 during clamping, a first reinforcing rib is provided at the corner of the first clamping part 123 and the first connecting part 124, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the two and ensuring the structural stability of the first clamping member 121 when clamping the window frame 2. Further, a second reinforcing rib is provided at the corner of the second clamping part 125 and the second connecting part 126, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the two and ensuring the structural stability of the second clamping member 122 when clamping the window frame 2.

[0060] In another embodiment, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. One end of the adjusting bolt is fixed to the first clamping member, and the other end is slidably connected to the second clamping member. The distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member is adjusted by the axial movement of the second clamping member along the adjusting bolt. Multiple adjusting bolts may be present, and these bolts are spaced apart on the first clamping member 121.

[0061] Please see Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 9 to 12 In an embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment hole 127 provided in one of the first connecting portion 124 and the second connecting portion 126, and a connecting hole provided in the other. The adjustment hole 127 extends along the arrangement direction of the first clamping portion 123 and the second clamping portion 125. The adjustment member 128 passes through the adjustment hole 127 and can be securely connected to the connecting hole. Specifically, the adjustment hole 127 is configured as a strip-shaped hole and extends along the arrangement direction of the first clamping portion 123 and the second clamping portion 125. The adjustment member 128 passes through the adjustment hole 127 and can be securely connected to the connecting hole. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122, it is only necessary to loosen the adjustment member 128 to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122, and then tighten the adjustment member 128 to fix the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 in a predetermined state.

[0062] The adjusting member 128 is often threaded to the connecting hole. Since the first connecting part 124 and the second connecting part 126 are both thin plate structures, in order to ensure the stable connection between the adjusting member 128 and the connecting hole and reduce slippage, the first connecting part 124 or the second connecting part 126 is thickened at the connecting hole, thereby increasing the depth of the connecting hole and increasing the mating area between the two.

[0063] Optionally, the adjusting member 128 is configured as one of an adjusting screw, an adjusting bolt, and a locking device. The locking device can be configured as a thumb-type quick-locking device, requiring only a small turning angle to facilitate adjustment of the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122.

[0064] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A limiting structure is also provided between the first connecting portion 124 and the second connecting portion 126. The limiting structure can restrict the sliding direction of the second connecting portion 126 and / or the first connecting portion 124. Specifically, the limiting structure can prevent the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 from shifting or deflecting when they slide relative to each other, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability when adjusting the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122.

[0065] For example, the limiting structure includes a first flange bent and connected to the opposite sides of the first connecting portion 124, and a second flange bent and connected to the opposite sides of the second connecting portion 126. The second flanges and the second connecting portion 126 define a limiting groove, and the first connecting portion 124 and the first flanges are slidably installed in the limiting groove. Specifically, the two second flanges are respectively disposed on the opposite sides of the second connecting portion 126 and are adjacent to the second clamping portion 125, thereby forming a limiting groove in the direction of relative sliding of the first connecting portion 124 and the second connecting portion 126. The first connecting portion 124 is slidably installed in the limiting groove, so that the limiting groove can both limit the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 from shifting or deflecting when they slide relative to each other, and guide the relative sliding of the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124. The two first flanges are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first connecting part 124 and adjacent to the first clamping part 123. The first connecting part 124 and the first flanges are slidably installed in the limiting groove, so that the shapes of the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are adapted to each other, further improving the stability when the two slide against each other.

[0066] Furthermore, a first stop flange is provided at the end of the second flange away from the second clamping part 125. The first stop flange can prevent the first flange from dislodging from the limiting groove, that is, the first stop flange can prevent the first flange from dislodging along its sliding direction, thereby preventing the first clamping member 121 from dislodging from the second clamping member 122. In addition, in order to reduce the first clamping member 121 from dislodging from the second clamping member in the vertical direction, a second stop flange that bends inward is also provided on the lower side of the second flange, that is, the size of the lower opening of the limiting groove is reduced, thereby further preventing the first clamping member 121 from dislodging from the second clamping member.

[0067] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the bracket body 11 includes a first support frame 111 and a second support frame 112. The first support frame 111 is connected to the window mounting bracket 12 and extends partially out of the window along a first direction. The second support frame 112 includes a fixing part 113 and a supporting part 114 arranged at an angle. The fixing part 113 is connected to the first support frame 111 and extends downward. One end of the supporting part 114 is connected to the fixing part 113, 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 113 away from the external wall 3. The first support frame 111 is connected to the lower side of the first clamping part 123, and the first connecting part 124 is provided on the upper side of the first clamping part 123.

[0068] Specifically, the first support frame 111 includes a first extension 115 and a second extension 116 arranged at an angle. The first extension 115 extends out of the window in a first direction, and the second extension 116 extends downward to connect with the fixing part 113, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the first support frame 111 and the second support frame 112. The support part 114 is arranged at an angle with the fixing part 113, and one end of the support part 114 is connected to the fixing part 113, 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 113 away from the external wall 3, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit 4 can press the support part 114 against the external wall 3, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the bracket body 11. 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.

[0069] Preferably, the first extension 115 and the second extension 116 are arranged perpendicularly, and the fixing part 113 and the support part 114 are also arranged perpendicularly, so that the bracket body 11 and the wall form 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 116 and the fixing part 113, so that the distance between the second extension 116 and the fixing part 113 is adjustable, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation height of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4. Preferably, the first extension 115 and the second extension 116 are integrally formed, and the fixing part 113 and the support part 114 are also integrally formed.

[0070] In this design, the first support frame 111 is connected to the lower side of the first clamping portion 123, and the first connecting portion 124 is located on the upper side of the first clamping portion 123. That is, the lower side of the first clamping portion 123 is connected to the first extension portion 115, which helps to reduce the installation height of the first extension portion 115, thereby avoiding obstructing the window's opening path and accommodating outward-opening windows. The first connecting portion 124 is located on the upper side of the first clamping portion 123 and extends towards the second clamping member 122 for installation with it. Preferably, the first extension portion 115 is integrally formed with the first clamping portion 123. Of course, in other embodiments, the first support frame 111 is connected to the first connecting portion 124, and the first clamping portion 123 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 124 away from the first support frame 111.

[0071] Please see Figures 7 to 12 In another embodiment of this utility model, the bracket body 11 includes a load-bearing bracket 117 and a support bracket 118 arranged at an angle. The load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the window mounting bracket 12 and extends out of the window in a first direction. The upper surface of the load-bearing bracket 117 is used for the installation of the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner. The upper end of the support bracket 118 is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 117, and the lower end abuts against the external wall 3. The load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the first connecting part 124, and the first clamping part 123 is provided on the side of the first connecting part 124 away from the load-bearing bracket 117.

[0072] Specifically, the load-bearing bracket 117 is mainly used to support the weight of the entire outdoor air conditioning unit 4. To ensure the structural strength of the load-bearing bracket 117 and reduce its weight, it typically includes multiple load-bearing arms spaced apart along a second direction and extending along a first direction, and multiple connecting arms spaced apart along the second direction. Each connecting arm connects to two load-bearing arms at its ends, resulting in a frame-like overall structure. The upper end of the support bracket 118 is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 117, and the lower end abuts against the external wall 3. This means the support bracket 118 does not need a direct connection to the wall, thus avoiding damage and facilitating the installation of the bracket 1. At this point, the angle between the support bracket 118 and the load-bearing bracket 117 is less than 90°, forming a stable triangular structure between the external wall 3, the support bracket 118, and the load-bearing bracket 117, significantly increasing the support stability of the bracket body 11. The load-bearing bracket 117 is provided with multiple adjustment positions arranged along the first direction. The upper end of the support bracket 118 is selectively installed on one of the multiple adjustment positions, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the included angle between the wall, the support bracket 118 and the load-bearing bracket 117, so that users can adjust the appropriate installation angle according to the actual wall conditions.

[0073] In this design, the load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the first connecting portion 124, and the first clamping portion 123 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 124 away from the load-bearing bracket 117. In this case, the first connecting portion 124 and the load-bearing bracket 117 are integrally formed, meaning that a portion of the structure of the load-bearing bracket 117 can be directly used as the first connecting portion 124. The first clamping portion 123 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 124 away from the load-bearing bracket 117, thus the first clamping portion 123 can be formed by bending the load-bearing bracket 117 near the second clamping member 122, thereby facilitating the processing of the first clamping member 121. Of course, in other embodiments, the load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the lower side of the first clamping portion 123, and the first connecting portion 124 is located on the upper side of the first clamping portion 123.

[0074] Furthermore, for ease of installation, the load-bearing bracket 117 is often equipped with a pre-installation position and a fixed position. The pre-installation position is used for pre-positioning the outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner, and then the outdoor unit 4 is pushed or pulled in the first direction to slide to the fixed position, thereby fixing the outdoor unit 4 in place. Therefore, the side of the load-bearing bracket 117 away from the window mounting bracket 12 is often also equipped with a limiting bracket. When the outdoor unit 4 slides to the fixed position, the limiting bracket can limit the outdoor unit 4 to prevent it from sliding further. Therefore, the limiting bracket can protrude from the upper surface of the side of the load-bearing bracket 117 away from the window mounting bracket 12, so that when the outdoor unit 4 slides to the fixed position, the limiting bracket abuts against the side of the outdoor unit 4 away from the window, thereby facilitating the limiting bracket's restraint.

[0075] 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. The mounting bracket 1 is used to install the outdoor unit 4 on the outside of a window.

[0076] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of this utility model and the contents of the specification and drawings of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
