[0038] Currently, air conditioner outdoor units are connected to a mounting medium via mounting brackets. The mounting medium can be, but is not limited to, components such as walls or railings, to provide support for the mounting brackets. Common mounting brackets are suitable for scenarios such as sloping roofs and outward-opening windows, and can overlap and lock onto the windowsill.

[0039] However, when the mounting medium is configured as a sliding outward-opening window with a protrusion at the bottom of the window sill, the existing mounting brackets interfere with the protrusion, making it impossible for them to connect to the mounting medium without avoiding the protrusion. This limits the application scenarios of the air conditioner.

[0040] This utility model proposes a connecting bracket 10.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting frame 10 is used to connect the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner to the mounting medium 50. The mounting medium 50 is provided with an outwardly extending boss 51. The connecting frame 10 includes a fixing part 100 connected to the mounting medium 50, a mounting part 300 connected to the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner, and a connecting part 200 connecting the fixing part 100 and the mounting part 300. The connecting frame 10 is located below the boss 51 and the connecting part 200 extends outward so that the mounting part 300 extends out of the boss 51.

[0042] It is understood that the installation medium 50 includes houses, RVs, etc., and in some houses and RVs, the bottom of the window sill has an outwardly extending protrusion 51. "Outwardly extending" refers to extending outward relative to the direction inside the house or vehicle. In the aforementioned application environment of the air conditioner, a suitable mounting bracket 20 is required. This utility model proposes a connecting bracket 10 suitable for the aforementioned installation environment. The following explanation uses the example of an air conditioner installed on a wall.

[0043] Specifically, the connecting frame 10 includes a fixing part 100, a connecting part 200, and a mounting part 300. The fixing part 100 is used to connect to the mounting medium 50; understandably, the fixing part 100 can connect to the wall or surface of a house, or the wall or body of a motorhome. The mounting part 300 is used to connect to the outdoor unit 40 of an air conditioner, that is, the mounting part 300 supports the outdoor unit 40. The connecting part 200 connects the fixing part 100 and the mounting part 300, thereby achieving the connection between the fixing part 100 and the mounting part 300. Understandably, to avoid interference between the connecting frame 10 and the boss 51, in this invention, the connecting frame 10 is positioned below the boss 51. Simultaneously, the connecting part 200 is positioned such that there is a preset interval between the fixing part 100 and the mounting part 300, and the connecting part 200 extends outward so that the mounting part 300 protrudes beyond the boss 51.

[0044] For ease of explanation, the connecting bracket 10 is defined to have a certain height, thickness, and width. The height direction is the vertical direction, i.e., the vertical direction of the outdoor unit 40; the thickness direction is the inward / outward direction, i.e., the direction from outdoor to outdoor; and the width direction is perpendicular to both the height and thickness directions. Along the thickness direction of the connecting bracket 10, the mounting part 300 is exposed above the boss 51. This ensures that when the outdoor unit 40 and the mounting part 300 are connected, interference from the boss 51 is avoided, thus enabling the connection between the outdoor unit 40 and the mounting medium 50. Simultaneously, this allows the air conditioner outdoor unit 40 to be installed on the mounting medium 50 with the boss 51, thereby expanding the applicability of the air conditioner.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 In an embodiment of this utility model, the fixing part 100 is configured as a fixing plate 101, and the connecting part 200 is configured as two connecting plates 201 respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing plate 101. The two connecting plates 201 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively arranged at an angle to the fixing plate 101.

[0046] Understandably, in the embodiment shown in the figures of this utility model, the fixing part 100 is configured as a fixing plate 101, and the connecting part 200 is configured as two connecting plates 201. The two connecting plates 201 are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing plate 101 and are respectively set at an angle to the fixing plate 101. In one embodiment, the angle between the connecting plate 201 and the fixing plate 101 is approximately a right angle, and the two connecting plates 201 and the fixing plate 101 form a "U" shape, which is beneficial to the structural stability of the connecting frame 10.

[0047] In one embodiment, both the connecting plate 201 and the fixing plate 101 are made of sheet metal, which helps to improve the structural strength of the connecting frame 10. In another embodiment, the two connecting plates 201 and the fixing plate 101 are an integral structure, which helps to improve the processing efficiency of the connecting frame 10 and simplify its structure. In one embodiment, the fixing plate 101 is provided with weight-reducing holes to facilitate the lightweighting of the connecting frame 10.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing part 100 can also be configured as a fixing rod, and the connecting part 200 can also be configured as a support rod. The fixing rod extends along the height direction of the connecting frame 10, and the support rod is connected to the fixing rod and extends outward. Alternatively, the fixing part 100 can be configured as a fixing plate 101, and the connecting part 200 can be configured as a support rod. No limitation is imposed here.

[0049] Correspondingly, the mounting section 300 includes two connecting sub-sections, with two connecting plates 201 respectively connected to the two connecting sub-sections, and both connecting sub-sections connected to the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner. In this way, the connecting bracket 10 is connected to the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner through two connecting sub-sections. Compared with the setting of a single connection point, the two connecting sub-sections help to improve the connection stability between the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner and the connecting bracket 10.

[0050] In an embodiment of this utility model, the length of the projection of the connecting part 200 from the end near the mounting part 300 to the end near the fixing part 100 in the thickness direction of the connecting frame 10 is 80mm-120mm.

[0051] It is understandable that the thickness direction of the connecting frame 10 is also the inward and outward direction from indoors to outdoors. Taking the solution shown in the figures of this utility model as an example, the connecting part 200 is configured as two connecting plates 201, and the two connecting plates 201 and the fixing plate 101 form a "U"-shaped structure. In one embodiment, the groove depth of the "U"-shaped structure is 80mm-120mm. That is, the outward extension length of the connecting part 200 is 80mm-120mm, and the preset interval length is 80mm-120mm. This allows the mounting part 300 to extend beyond the boss 51 to accommodate most of the sizes of the mounting medium 50 with the boss 51. It is understandable that in practical applications, the connecting frame 10 has various specifications. More specifically, the connecting frame 10 has various thicknesses to accommodate bosses 51 of different sizes. The size of the connecting frame 10 can be set according to the installation scenario and is not limited here.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 In an embodiment of this utility model, the connecting part 200 is provided with a ventilation hole 210.

[0053] Understandably, after the connecting bracket 10 is connected to the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner, the air inlet of the outdoor unit 40 is oriented towards the fixing part 100. The fixing part 100 is connected to the mounting medium 50, thereby reducing the amount of air entering from the fixing part 100. To ensure the air intake of the outdoor unit 40, an air passage hole 210 is provided on the connecting part 200. Specifically, air passage holes 210 are provided on both connecting plates 201. In one embodiment, the air passage holes 210 on the two connecting plates 201 are arranged opposite each other to increase the air intake. At the same time, the setting of the air passage hole 210 also helps to reduce the weight of the connecting bracket 10.

[0054] Understandably, in the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, the fixing part 100 and the connecting part 200 have a "U"-shaped structure, and the top and bottom of the connecting bracket 10 are provided with openings, allowing air to flow into the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner from the top and bottom openings. This also enables air intake into the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner. This utility model further provides air passage holes 210 on the connecting part 200, thereby further increasing the air intake volume and benefiting the operation of the air conditioner. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the air passage holes 210 overlaps with the air inlet of the outdoor unit 40 in the height direction, thereby improving air intake efficiency. In the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, a connecting plate 201 is provided with two spaced air passage holes 210; the number, shape, and position of the air passage holes 210 are not limited here.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the fixing part 100 is provided with a first fixing hole 110, which is used for the first fixing structure 120 to pass through and connect with the mounting medium 50.

[0056] Understandably, in the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, the fixing part 100 is provided with a first fixing hole 110, and the first fixing structure 120 passes through the first fixing hole 110, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting frame 10 and the mounting medium 50. In one embodiment, the first fixing structure 120 is configured as a screw-locking structure. Specifically, the first fixing structure 120 includes an expansion bolt, a screw, and a nut. A positioning hole is made on the wall surface below the boss 51 with reference to the first fixing hole 110, then the expansion bolt and the screw are inserted into the hole, and then the connecting frame 10 is hung on the screw and the nut is tightened to fix it.

[0057] In the embodiment shown in the figures of this utility model, four first fixing holes 110 are provided and arranged in a 2*2 matrix. Of course, in other embodiments, two first fixing holes 110 can also be provided, with the two first fixing holes 110 arranged diagonally. The number and position of the first fixing holes 110 are not limited here.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, the first fixing structure 120 can also be a hanging structure fixed to the wall. Specifically, the wall is provided with a hanging structure, and the hook of the hanging structure passes through the first fixing hole 110, thereby hanging the connecting frame 10 on the hanging structure. In one embodiment, a sealing plug is provided between the hook and the first fixing hole 110 to fill the gap between the hook and the first fixing hole 110 to prevent the connecting frame 10 from shaking. In this way, the connection between the connecting frame 10 and the mounting medium 50 can also be achieved.

[0059] In an embodiment of this utility model, a vibration damping structure (not shown) is provided between the fixing part 100 and the mounting medium 50.

[0060] Understandably, during use, the outdoor unit 40 of the air conditioner will vibrate, and this vibration will be transmitted to the connecting bracket 10, and then to the wall, generating noise and affecting the comfort of using the air conditioner. Therefore, a vibration damping structure is provided between the fixing part 100 and the mounting medium 50. In one embodiment, the vibration damping structure is configured as a vibration damping pad.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model also proposes a mounting bracket 20, which includes an adapter bracket 30 and a connecting bracket 10. The specific structure of the connecting bracket 10 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this mounting bracket 20 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. Among them, the adapter bracket 30 is provided with an outdoor unit mounting position, and one of the mounting part 300 and the adapter bracket 30 is provided with a guide groove 310, which is used for the other part to slide into; and one of the mounting part 300 and the adapter bracket 30 is provided with a stop position 330, which is used for the other part to abut against the stop position 330.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 It is understood that the mounting bracket 20 includes an adapter bracket 30 and a connecting bracket 10, with the adapter bracket 30 and the connecting bracket 10 extending in the same direction. The mounting portion 300 in the connecting bracket 10 is connected to the adapter bracket 30. One of the mounting portion 300 and the adapter bracket 30 is provided with a guide groove 310, allowing the other to slide into it, thus enabling the adapter bracket 30 and the connecting bracket 10 to slide and detach with a low coefficient of sliding friction, facilitating disassembly. Taking the mounting portion 300 configured as a guide groove 310 as an example, in one embodiment, the mounting portion 300 includes a groove bottom plate 311 and two groove side plates 312 disposed on both sides of the groove bottom plate 311. The groove bottom plate 311 and the two groove side plates 312 surround the guide groove 310, thereby reducing the amount of material required to form the mounting portion 300.

[0063] In the embodiment shown in the figures of this utility model, a groove side plate 312 near the connecting portion 200 is arranged at an angle to the connecting portion 200. In one embodiment, the angle between the two is approximately a right angle, which facilitates the simplification of the connecting frame 10. In another embodiment, a reinforcing rib is also provided between the groove side plate 312 and the connecting portion 200 to enhance the structural strength between them and ensure the installation stability of the outdoor unit 40.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One of the mounting part 300 and the adapter frame 30 is provided with a stop position 330, taking the mounting part 300 as an example. The stop position 330 is provided at the bottom of the mounting part 300, that is, at the bottom of the guide groove 310. In one embodiment, the stop position 330 is configured as a stop flange extending from the groove bottom plate 311 toward the other groove bottom plate 311. The adapter frame 30 slides into the guide groove 310 in the vertical direction, and when the adapter frame 30 abuts against the stop flange, the adapter frame 30 and the connecting frame 10 are connected in place.

[0065] In one embodiment, one of the adapter frame 30 and the mounting part 300 is provided with multiple spaced adjustment positions, taking the adapter frame 30 as an example. In one embodiment, the adapter frame 30 is provided with multiple adjustment holes spaced apart along its length, and the mounting part 300 is provided with mounting holes. The mounting holes can selectively be aligned with any adjustment hole. Connectors such as screws or pins pass through the mounting holes and an adjustment hole, thereby connecting the mounting part 300 and the adapter frame 30, and thus connecting the connecting frame 10 and the adapter frame 30. In this way, on the one hand, the setting of multiple adjustment positions allows the distance between the connecting frame 10 and the adapter frame 30 to be adjusted in stages, and thus the length of the adapter frame 30 can be adjusted in stages, thereby adapting to different window structures and improving the applicability of the mounting bracket 20. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adjustment positions can also be provided as snap-fit ​​structures.

[0066] In an embodiment of this utility model, the connecting frame 10 further includes a reinforcing member, which is disposed on the connecting portion 200 and away from the fixing portion 100.

[0067] Understandably, to improve the structural strength and stability of the connecting frame 10, a reinforcing member is also provided on the connecting frame 10. Specifically, in the scheme shown in the figures of this utility model, the fixing part 100 and the connecting part 200 have a "U" shaped structure. The fixing part 100 is configured as a fixing plate 101, and the connecting part 200 is configured as two connecting plates 201 respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing plate 101. To prevent the two connecting plates 201 from expanding outward or contracting towards each other under the action of external force during use, thereby causing the position of the mounting part 300 to change, and thus causing the position of the guide groove 310 to change, resulting in the guide groove 310 not being able to match and connect with the adapter 30, a reinforcing member is provided in the connecting frame 10. The two ends of the reinforcing member are respectively connected to the two connecting plates 201, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the two connecting plates 201. In one embodiment, the reinforcing member is disposed away from the fixing part 100 in the thickness direction of the connecting frame 10, which is beneficial to further improve the morphological stability of the two connecting plates 201.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing member includes a first reinforcing member 410. The first reinforcing member 410 is disposed on the connecting portion 200 and away from the fixing portion 100, and is located on the lower side of the connecting frame 10. It is understood that the first reinforcing member 410 is disposed on the connecting portion 200, meaning that both ends of the first reinforcing member 410 are connected to the two connecting plates 201 respectively, and that is, the first reinforcing member 410 extends along the width direction. Simultaneously, the first reinforcing member 410 is located away from the fixing portion 100, meaning that in the thickness direction, the first reinforcing member 410 is located at the end of the connecting plate 201 away from the fixing plate 101. Furthermore, since the first reinforcing member 410 is located on the lower side of the connecting frame 10, it is understood that the connecting frame 10 has openings at both the top and bottom, and the structural strength of the connecting plate 201 is lower near the top and bottom. Placing the first reinforcing member 410 on the lower side of the connecting frame 10 helps to improve the structural strength of the bottom of the connecting plate 201. In one embodiment, the first reinforcing member 410 is located at the bottom of the connecting plate 201, that is, in the height direction, the first reinforcing member 410 is located at the bottom of the connecting frame 10.

[0069] In an embodiment of this utility model, the end of the first reinforcing member 410 is disposed at the bottom of the guide groove 310 so that the stop position 330 is integrated with the first reinforcing member 410.

[0070] Understandably, the mounting portion 300 is provided with a guide groove 310 and a stop position 330, with the stop position 330 located at the bottom of the guide groove 310 to limit the sliding stroke of the adapter frame 30. Simultaneously, the connecting frame 10 is also provided with a first reinforcing member 410 located on its lower side. In one embodiment, it is understood that the first reinforcing member 410 extends along its width, with both ends of the first reinforcing member 410 located at the bottom of the two guide grooves 310, respectively, and sealing the bottom of the guide grooves 310. This integrates the stop position 330 and the first reinforcing member 410, thereby simplifying the structure of the connecting frame 10. In one embodiment, the first reinforcing member 410 is configured as a first reinforcing rod, which is welded to the mounting portion 300. To improve the connection reliability between the first reinforcing rod and the mounting portion 300 of the connecting frame 10, both ends of the first reinforcing rod are provided with upward-facing first flanges, with the two first flanges respectively located on the outer side walls of the two groove bottom plates 311.

[0071] Please see Figure 1In an embodiment of this utility model, the reinforcing member further includes a second reinforcing member 420, which is disposed on the upper side of the connecting frame 10. It is understood that the second reinforcing member 420 is provided at the top of the connecting frame 10 in the height direction, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation at the top of the two connecting plates 201. In one embodiment, the second reinforcing member 420 is configured as a second reinforcing rod, with both ends of the second reinforcing rod welded to the two connecting plates 201 respectively. To improve the connection stability between the second reinforcing rod and the two connecting plates 201, both ends of the second reinforcing rod are provided with downward-facing second flanges, which are respectively connected to the outer sides of the two connecting plates 201. In one embodiment, the second reinforcing member 420 is provided with weight-reducing holes to facilitate the lightweighting of the connecting frame 10 and the mounting bracket 20.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 In an embodiment of this utility model, a guide bevel 320 is formed at the top of the guide groove 310, and the guide bevel 320 is inclined toward the bottom of the guide groove 310.

[0073] Understandably, when connecting the adapter 30 and the connecting frame 10, the adapter 30 slides into the guide groove 310 on the connecting frame 10. To facilitate the connection between the adapter 30 and the connecting frame 10, a guide bevel 320 is formed at the top of the guide groove 310. The guide bevel 320 is inclined towards the bottom of the guide groove 310. Understandably, the connecting frame 10 has two opposing guide grooves 310, and correspondingly, guide bevels 320 are formed at the top of the two guide grooves 310. One guide bevel 320 is inclined away from the other guide bevel 320, thus forming a flared opening at the top of the guide groove 310, thereby providing guidance for the connection between the adapter 30 and the connecting frame 10 and improving the ease of connection between the adapter 30 and the connecting frame 10.

[0074] Please see Figure 2 This utility model also proposes an air conditioner (not shown), which includes an outdoor unit 40 and a mounting bracket 20. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 20 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. Among them, the adapter bracket 30 of the mounting bracket 20 is used to connect with the outdoor unit 40.

[0075] In an embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner further includes an indoor unit (not shown); the air conditioner compressor assembly (not shown) is disposed in the indoor unit; and / or, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 40 are connected by a flexible refrigerant pipe (not shown), the flexible refrigerant pipe being pre-charged with refrigerant.

[0076] The air conditioner of this utility model can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install individually. By placing the compressor assembly in the indoor unit, the weight of the outdoor unit 40 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit 40. Correspondingly, by placing the compressor assembly in the indoor unit, a noise reduction structure needs to be incorporated into the compressor to ensure the comfort and low noise interference of the air conditioner.

[0077] The air conditioner uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 40, 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 40 separately, without needing to install the refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual user installation. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the air conditioner of this invention can also be a conventional split-type air conditioner.

[0078] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
