Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner outdoor unit installation technology, specifically to a side mounting bracket for air conditioner outdoor units suitable for confined spaces. Background Technology
[0002] The side-mounted air conditioner unit bracket is an installation solution specifically designed for narrow spaces, suitable for scenarios where conventional installation is not feasible, such as the side of a balcony, building gaps, or exterior wall recesses. Its core feature is that it fixes the outdoor unit to the side, rather than the traditional horizontal placement, thus saving a significant amount of space.
[0003] However, existing side mounting brackets for air conditioner outdoor units are generally fixed in place during use and cannot be adjusted according to different confined spaces. This limits the installation position of the bracket to a specific range, resulting in certain limitations in its use. To address these issues, the inventors have proposed a side mounting bracket for air conditioner outdoor units suitable for confined spaces. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problem that side mounting brackets for air conditioner outdoor units cannot be adjusted to accommodate different confined spaces during use, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a side mounting bracket for air conditioner outdoor units suitable for confined spaces.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a side mounting bracket for an air conditioner outdoor unit suitable for confined spaces, comprising a fixed bracket and a support bracket, wherein the number of fixed brackets and support brackets is set to two sets, and each set of support brackets is movably installed in a corresponding fixed bracket. One side of one set of support brackets is fixedly provided with a frame, and one side of the other set of support brackets is fixedly provided with an adjusting rod. The adjusting rod is slidably inserted into the frame, and a first bolt is movably inserted into the frame. The first bolt is threaded into the adjusting rod, and a fourth threaded groove is opened in the adjusting rod. The first bolt is threaded into the fourth threaded groove. A first mounting groove is opened in the fixed bracket, and a second mounting groove is opened in the support bracket. First, by rotating the first bolt, it is disengaged from the fourth threaded groove. Then, one of the fixed brackets and support brackets is pulled, so that the adjusting rod slides in the frame, making one of the fourth threaded grooves in the adjusting rod coincide with the first bolt. Then, the first bolt is rotated back into the fourth threaded groove, thereby allowing the distance between the two support brackets to be adjusted according to different confined spaces.
[0006] By rotating the guide rod, its angle changes, and the support bracket is raised and slid within the fixed frame. This aligns the end of the guide rod away from the rotating shaft with the third threaded groove. The positioning rod is then inserted into the support bracket and the guide rod, with its thread inserted into the third threaded groove. While adjusting the guide rod, the third bolt is disengaged from the first threaded groove. As the support bracket rises, the L-shaped plate slides within the fixed frame, aligning the end of the guide rod away from the rotating shaft with the third threaded groove, and the third bolt with the first threaded groove. The third bolt is then threaded into the corresponding first threaded groove, thus securing the fixed frame and the support bracket. This allows for adjustment of the guide rod's support angle, enabling different models and weights of outdoor air conditioners to be installed on the support bracket, with their center of gravity resting on the adjusted guide rod, improving support stability. A slot corresponding to the first mounting groove is then made on the wall where installation is required for the fixed frame to be installed. The outdoor air conditioner is then installed on the support bracket, thus facilitating the installation of the outdoor air conditioner.
[0007] Preferably, a guide rod is hinged inside the fixed frame, the guide rod is movably disposed inside the support frame, a positioning rod is threadedly inserted inside the support frame, the positioning rod is movably inserted inside the guide rod, a rotating shaft is fixed inside the fixed frame, the guide rod is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a third threaded groove is opened inside the support frame, and the positioning rod is threadedly inserted into the third threaded groove.
[0008] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is installed inside the fixing frame, a third bolt is movably inserted into one side of the L-shaped plate, a first threaded groove is opened inside the fixing frame, the third bolt is threaded into the first threaded groove, a second threaded groove is opened inside the support frame, a second bolt is movably inserted into the top surface of the L-shaped plate, and the second bolt is threaded into the second threaded groove.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. The adjusting rod slides within the frame, and then the first bolt is rotated again into the fourth threaded groove, thereby allowing the distance between the two support brackets to be adjusted according to different narrow spaces, avoiding restrictions on the installation position and improving the practicality of the device;
[0011] 2. By rotating the guide rod, the angle of the guide rod changes, and then the positioning rod is inserted into the third threaded groove. This allows for adjustment of the angle of the guide rod support. Consequently, for different models of outdoor air conditioners with different weights, after the outdoor air conditioner is installed on the support frame, its center of gravity falls on the adjusted guide rod, thus improving support stability.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Example: Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a side mounting bracket for an air conditioner outdoor unit suitable for confined spaces, including a fixed bracket 1 and a support bracket 11. The fixed bracket 1 and support bracket 11 are arranged in two sets, with each set of support brackets 11 movably mounted within a corresponding fixed bracket 1. One set of support brackets 11 has a frame 2 fixedly mounted on one side, and the other set of support brackets 11 has an adjusting rod 21 fixedly mounted on one side. The adjusting rod 21 is slidably inserted into the frame 2, and a first bolt 22 is movably inserted into the frame 2. The first bolt 22 is threaded into the adjusting rod 21, and a fourth threaded groove 211 is formed within the adjusting rod 21, with the first bolt 22 threaded into the fourth threaded groove 211. Within the frame 11, a first mounting groove 102 is provided in the fixed frame 1, and a second mounting groove 112 is provided in the support frame 11. By rotating the first bolt 22, it is disengaged from the fourth threaded groove 211. Then, one of the fixed frames 1 and the support frame 11 is pulled, causing the adjusting rod 21 to slide within the frame 2. This causes one of the fourth threaded grooves 211 in the adjusting rod 21 to coincide with the first bolt 22. Then, the first bolt 22 is rotated back into the fourth threaded groove 211, thereby allowing the distance between the two support frames 11 to be adjusted. This allows for adjustment according to different narrow spaces, avoiding restrictions on the installation position and improving the practicality of the device.
[0019] A guide rod 31 is hinged inside the fixed frame 1. The guide rod 31 is movably disposed inside the support frame 11. A positioning rod 32 is threadedly inserted inside the support frame 11. The positioning rod 32 is movably inserted inside the guide rod 31. A rotating shaft 3 is fixed inside the fixed frame 1. The guide rod 31 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 3. A third threaded groove 113 is opened inside the support frame 11. The positioning rod 32 is threadedly inserted into the third threaded groove 113.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the angle of the guide rod 31 is changed by rotating the guide rod 31. At the same time, the support frame 11 is raised and slid within the fixed frame 1, so that the end of the guide rod 31 away from the rotating shaft 3 corresponds to the third threaded groove 113. Then, the positioning rod 32 is inserted into the support frame 11 and into the guide rod 31, and its thread is inserted into the third threaded groove 113. This allows for adjustment of the support angle of the guide rod 31. Consequently, for different models of air conditioner outdoor units, after the air conditioner outdoor units of different weights are installed on the support frame 11, their center of gravity falls on the adjusted guide rod 31, thus improving the support stability.
[0021] An L-shaped plate 33 is installed inside the fixing frame 1. A third bolt 35 is movably inserted into one side of the L-shaped plate 33. A first threaded groove 101 is opened inside the fixing frame 1. The third bolt 35 is threaded into the first threaded groove 101. A second threaded groove 111 is opened inside the support frame 11. A second bolt 34 is movably inserted into the top surface of the L-shaped plate 33. The second bolt 34 is threaded into the second threaded groove 111.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the guide rod 31, the third bolt 35 is disengaged from the first threaded groove 101. Then, when the support bracket 11 is adjusted to rise, the L-shaped plate 33 is slid within the fixed frame 1 (the distance between the multiple third threaded grooves 113 is the same as the distance between the first threaded grooves 101). This allows the end of the guide rod 31 away from the rotating shaft 3 to correspond to the third threaded groove 113, while the third bolt 35 corresponds to the first threaded groove 101. Then, the third bolt 35 is threaded into the corresponding first threaded groove 101, thereby fixing the fixed frame 1 and the support bracket 11.
[0023] Working principle: First, by rotating the first bolt 22, it is disengaged from the fourth threaded groove 211. Then, one of the fixed brackets 1 and the support bracket 11 is pulled, so that the adjusting rod 21 slides in the frame 2, and one of the fourth threaded grooves 211 in the adjusting rod 21 coincides with the first bolt 22. Then, the first bolt 22 is rotated back into the fourth threaded groove 211, thereby allowing the distance between the two support brackets 11 to be adjusted so as to adjust it according to different narrow spaces.
[0024] By rotating the guide rod 31, the angle of the guide rod 31 changes. Simultaneously, the support bracket 11 is raised and slid within the fixed frame 1, aligning the end of the guide rod 31 away from the rotating shaft 3 with the third threaded groove 113. Then, the positioning rod 32 is inserted into the support bracket 11 and the guide rod 31, with its thread inserted into the third threaded groove 113. While adjusting the guide rod 31, the third bolt 35 is disengaged from the first threaded groove 101. Then, as the support bracket 11 rises, the L-shaped plate 33 slides within the fixed frame 1, aligning the end of the guide rod 31 away from the rotating shaft 3 with the third threaded groove 113, and simultaneously disengaging the third bolt 35 from the first threaded groove 101. Corresponding to the threaded groove 101, the third bolt 35 is threaded into the corresponding first threaded groove 101, thereby fixing the fixing frame 1 and the support frame 11, thereby adjusting the angle of the guide rod 31 support, and thus allowing different models of air conditioner outdoor units of different weights to be installed on the support frame 11, with their center of gravity falling on the adjusted guide rod 31, improving support stability. Then, a slot corresponding to the first mounting groove 102 is opened on the wall where it is to be installed, so that the fixing frame 1 can be installed, and then the air conditioner outdoor unit is installed on the support frame 11, thereby enabling the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
