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.

[0060] This utility model proposes an installation bracket 1 for installing an outdoor air conditioner unit 3 outside a building. The exterior wall 4 of the building has an installation medium, and the installation bracket 1 can be installed on the installation medium without damaging the exterior wall.
[0061] The air conditioner also includes an indoor unit, and a flexible connection assembly connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 3. 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 3, 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 3 separately, without needing to install 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 3 refers to the part of the window air conditioner that extends to the outside.
[0062] Furthermore, this type of split-type air conditioner, which is convenient for users to install individually, allows the compressor to be placed inside the indoor unit, thereby reducing the weight of the outdoor unit 3 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.
[0063] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket 1 includes:
[0064] The mounting structure 12 includes a connecting bracket 13 and a locking bracket 14, the locking bracket 14 being mounted on the connecting bracket 13 and capable of being locked to the house;
[0065] The mounting structure 12 further includes an auxiliary locking structure 15, which includes the locking member 151 and at least one anti-detachment component 152 disposed on the locking member 151. The locking member 151 passes through the connecting bracket 13 and is connected to the locking bracket 14. The anti-detachment component 152 is used to restrict the movement of the locking member 151 relative to the connecting bracket 13 so that the locking bracket 14 is locked to the house.
[0066] Specifically, the exterior wall 4 of the building typically has a protruding edge 21. This protruding edge 21 can be a window sill at the bottom of the window 2, an eave, or a decorative protruding edge. The mounting structure 12 can be installed on the protruding edge 21, and is at least partially located on the outside of the building. The outdoor air conditioner unit 3 can be directly installed on the mounting structure 12, or it can be installed on the mounting structure 12 via other brackets, thus installing the outdoor air conditioner unit 3 outside the building. The connecting bracket 13 can be connected to the upper side of the protruding edge 21. The locking bracket 14 is installed on the connecting bracket 13, and the bottom of the protruding edge 21 usually has a locking position 22. The locking bracket 14 can be locked with the locking position 22, thereby fixing the mounting structure 12 to the upper and lower sides of the protruding edge 21 respectively, thus ensuring the installation stability of the mounting structure 12 and reducing the possibility of the mounting structure 12 accidentally detaching or moving outward under the gravity of the outdoor air conditioner unit 3. Moreover, in this solution, the installation of the mounting structure 12 can be completed without damaging the structure of the protruding edge 21, the exterior wall, or the window 2. Furthermore, the installation structure 12 is easy to install, requiring no professional installers and allowing users to install it themselves. In other embodiments, the connecting bracket 13 and locking bracket 14 can also be locked to the house through other installation methods, such as clamping the installation medium outside the house with the connecting bracket 13 and locking bracket 14 to achieve locking.
[0067] Optionally, the connecting bracket 13 includes an overlapping portion 131 and a connecting portion 132 arranged at an angle. The connecting portion 132 extends downward, and the overlapping portion 131 is approximately parallel to the upper side of the protruding edge 21, thus overlapping the upper side of the protruding edge 21. The weight of the outdoor air conditioner unit 3 and the mounting bracket 1 is used to press the upper side of the protruding edge 21, without damaging the protruding edge 21. The locking bracket 14 is installed on the connecting portion 132 and locked with the locking position 22 on the bottom side of the protruding edge 21 to further connect with the protruding edge 21. On the other hand, the presence of the locking bracket 14 can also reduce the possibility of displacement of the overlapping portion 131 relative to the protruding edge 21. The locking bracket 14 can be directly slidably installed on the connecting portion 132 in the vertical direction, or it can be slidably installed on the connecting portion 132 via a sliding bracket.
[0068] When the protruding edge 21 is a window sill, this mounting structure 12, because it is installed on the window sill, allows the window 2 to be opened regardless of the window type. Especially for outward-opening windows 2, this mounting structure 12 can avoid the opening or closing path of the window 2, thus allowing the window 2 to open and close normally, thereby reducing the impact of the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3 on the normal use of the window 2. In addition, the bracket body 11 generally extends downward, thereby reducing the installation height of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3, making the installation height of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3 lower than the height of the window. Preferably, the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3 is lower than the bottom of the window, so that the window 2 can be fully opened outward, thereby further reducing the impact of the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3 on the window 2 and ensuring the ventilation and light transmission effect of the window 2.
[0069] Furthermore, the window sill sizes and types that are matched with different models of windows 2 are often different, and the size and type of the outer ridge of different house types may also be different. Therefore, in order to adapt to ridges 21 of different sizes, the locking bracket 14 can move up and down on the connecting bracket 13 to adapt to ridges 21 of different thicknesses.
[0070] It should be noted that the locking position 22 is generally not set by damaging the surface of the protruding edge 21. It is often an inherent structure of the protruding edge 21 itself, such as some water guide ribs or water guide grooves 221, or some machined grooves or ribs. Therefore, this kind of installation structure 12 will not damage the structure of the protruding edge 21. In other embodiments, if the upper surface of the protruding edge 21 has some decorative ribs or water guide ribs, some locking hooks can also be provided on the upper side of the connecting bracket 13. These locking hooks can hook onto the water guide ribs or decorative ribs, thereby further reducing the possibility of the installation structure 12 coming off.
[0071] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 16 The locking bracket 14 is provided with a first hook 141 facing the protruding edge 21; the locking position 22 is configured as a water guide groove 221 at the bottom of the protruding edge 21, and the first hook 141 is engaged with the water guide groove 221. At this time, the protruding edge 21 is usually made of stone, and the water guide groove 221 at its bottom is usually a machined groove. The locking hook is inserted into the water guide groove 221, thereby engaging with the water guide groove 221 to achieve the engagement of the locking bracket 14 and the locking position 22, thereby preventing the installation structure 12 from moving outward and ensuring the stable clamping of the protruding edge 21 by the installation structure 12.
[0072] In another embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 9The locking bracket 14 is provided with a first hook 141 facing the protruding edge 21; the locking position 22 is configured as a second hook 222 located at the bottom of the protruding edge 21, and the first hook 141 engages with the second hook 222. At this time, the protruding edge 21 is usually made of aluminum alloy, and the aluminum alloy is folded at the lower edge of the protruding edge 21 to form a hook structure. The first hook 141 engages with the hook to realize the engagement between the locking bracket 14 and the locking position 22, thereby preventing the mounting structure 12 from moving outward and ensuring the stable clamping of the protruding edge 21 by the mounting structure 12.
[0073] In other embodiments, the locking bracket 14 is provided with a first hook 141 facing the protrusion 21; the locking position 22 is configured as a rib at the bottom of the protrusion 21, and the first hook 141 is engaged with the inner side of the rib.
[0074] The locking member 151 passes through the connecting bracket 13 and connects to the locking bracket 14, thereby installing the locking bracket 14 onto the connecting bracket 13. An anti-detachment component 152 is at least provided on the locking member 151, and at least partially provided on the side of the locking member 151 away from the locking bracket 14, thereby preventing the locking member 151 from detaching from the connecting bracket 13. The anti-detachment component 152 can restrict the movement of the locking member 151 relative to the connecting portion 132. For example, the anti-detachment component 152 can cause the locking bracket 14 to press against the locking position 22 along the protruding direction of the flange 21 via the locking member 151, thereby fixing the locking bracket 14 and the connecting portion 132 relatively, thus restricting the downward movement of the locking bracket 14, and thus causing the locking bracket 14 to lock against the locking position 22; an additional stop structure can also be provided to directly prevent the locking bracket 14 from sliding downward.
[0075] Since the locking bracket 14 is directly installed on the connecting bracket 13, the locking bracket 14 can only undergo a small displacement relative to the connecting bracket 13 along the protruding direction of the flange 21. However, the position of the water guide groove 221 or the position of the second hook 222 on the flange 21 may differ significantly. In this case, the user can move the entire mounting structure 12 along the protruding direction of the flange 21 to facilitate engaging the first hook 141 into the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222. To facilitate the sliding of the locking bracket 14 along the vertical direction on the connecting bracket 13, the connecting bracket 13 is provided with a first guide groove 134 extending in the vertical direction. The locking member 151 passes through the first guide groove 134 and is connected to the locking bracket 14, allowing the user to pull the locking member 151 in the vertical direction to drive the locking bracket 14 to slide.
[0076] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-detachment component 152 includes an anti-detachment handle 153 disposed at one end of the locking member 151 away from the locking bracket 14, and one end of the anti-detachment handle 153 is rotatably connected to the locking member 151;
[0077] The anti-detachment handle 153 is rotated, causing the locking member 151 to deflect about the end connected to the anti-detachment handle 153 as an axis, so as to adjust the angle between the locking bracket 14 and the locking position 22, thereby locking the locking bracket 14 to the house.
[0078] Specifically, one end of the anti-detachment handle 153 is rotatably connected to the locking member 151. When the first hook 141 is engaged in the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222, pressing the anti-detachment handle 153 causes it to swing, causing the end of the anti-detachment handle 153 connected to the locking member 151 to move away from the connecting part 132, thereby pulling the locking bracket 14 to deflect towards the side of the locking position 22, thereby adjusting the angle between the locking bracket 14 and the locking position 22, so that the angle between the first hook 141 and the groove wall of the water guide groove 221 or the first hook 141 and the second hook 222 is less than or equal to 90°, so that the first hook 141 further locks the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222. Furthermore, because the locking bracket 14 presses against the locking position 22 along the protruding direction of the convex edge 21, the locking bracket 14 and the connecting bracket 13 are also relatively fixed, thereby restricting the downward movement of the locking bracket 14 and thus locking the locking position 22. The anti-detachment handle 153 can be configured as a ram's horn handle for easy application of force by the user. To facilitate the rotation of the anti-detachment handle 153 and its cooperation with the connecting part 132 and the locking member 151, a limiting seat 158 is provided at the end of the locking member 151 away from the locking bracket 14. This limiting seat 158 abuts against the side of the connecting part 132 opposite to the locking bracket 14, thereby preventing the locking member 151 from disengaging. Furthermore, the end of the locking member 151 away from the locking bracket 14 passes through the limiting seat 158 and is rotatably connected to the anti-detachment handle 153. The limiting seat 158 has a concave arc surface on the side facing the anti-detachment handle 153, thereby guiding and limiting the rotation of the anti-detachment handle 153 relative to the locking member 151.
[0079] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 The anti-detachment component 152 further includes an anti-detachment piece 154, which is disposed on the side of the connecting bracket 13 facing the anti-detachment handle 153. The locking member 151 passes through the anti-detachment piece 154, and the anti-detachment piece 154 can be engaged with the connecting bracket 13.
[0080] Specifically, the anti-detachment component 152 can move with the locking bracket 14, so the engagement position between the anti-detachment piece 154 and the connecting bracket 13 may be difficult to determine. Therefore, the connecting bracket 13 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart first locking holes 133, and the anti-detachment piece 154 is provided with a first locking protrusion 1542 extending towards the connecting bracket 13. The first locking protrusion 1542 can be inserted into the first locking hole 133, that is, multiple engagement positions are provided at intervals on the connecting bracket 13 to facilitate the engagement of the anti-detachment piece 154 and the connecting bracket 13. To further guide the sliding of the anti-detachment piece 154, the anti-detachment piece 154 is also provided with a guide protrusion protruding into the first guide groove 134, which is slidably inserted into the first guide groove 134.
[0081] However, at this time, the locking bracket 14 cannot be fixed at any position in the vertical direction of the connecting bracket 13, which may result in the locking bracket 14 not being able to fully lock the locking position 22. Therefore, in one embodiment, the anti-detachment plate 154 has an adjustment hole 1541, and the locking member 151 passes through the adjustment hole 1541 into the anti-detachment plate 154, thereby allowing the locking bracket 14 to undergo a small range of displacement relative to the anti-detachment plate 154, thereby fine-tuning the position of the locking bracket 14 relative to the anti-detachment plate 154. Optionally, the length of the adjustment hole 1541 in the vertical direction is approximately equal to the distance between the edges of two adjacent adjustment holes 1541 that are far apart.
[0082] In summary, when the anti-detachment component 152 includes an anti-detachment handle 153 and an anti-detachment plate 154, the installation steps of the mounting structure 12 are as follows:
[0083] First, by manually pushing the locking bracket 14 upward, the first hook 141 contacts the lower side of the protruding edge 21. Then, the position of the installation structure 12 is adjusted along the protruding direction of the protruding edge 21 so that the first hook 141 engages with the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222. Then, the locking bracket 14 is further pushed to lock the locking position 22, so that the first hook 141 and the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222 are locked vertically. Then, the first protrusion 1542 of the anti-detachment piece 154 is engaged with the first locking hole 133, thereby locking the locking bracket 14 vertically. Then, the anti-detachment handle 153 is pressed so that the angle between the first hook 141 and the groove wall of the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222 is less than or equal to 90°, so that the first hook 141 engages with the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222 along the protruding direction of the protruding edge 21, thereby completing the installation of the installation structure 12.
[0084] It is understood that the installation steps of the mounting structure 12 are not limited to this. As long as the mounting structure 12 can be installed on the protruding edge 21, it is within the protection scope of this solution.
[0085] Reference Figures 8 to 16In another embodiment of the present invention, the anti-detachment component 152 includes an anti-detachment member 155 and a second locking protrusion 156. The anti-detachment member 155 is disposed on the side of the connecting bracket 13 away from the locking bracket 14 and is threadedly connected to the locking member 151. The anti-detachment member 155 is provided with a plurality of second locking holes 1551 at circumferential intervals.
[0086] The anti-detachment component 155 rotates to lock the locking position 22 with the locking bracket 14, and then the second latching protrusion 156 extends out of the connecting bracket 13 so that one of the second latching protrusions 156 engages with one of the multiple second latching holes 1551 to restrict the rotation of the anti-detachment component 155.
[0087] Specifically, the anti-disengagement component 155 is located on the side of the connecting bracket 13 opposite to the locking bracket 14 and is threadedly connected to the locking component 151, thereby preventing the locking component 151 from disengaging. The anti-disengagement component 155 rotates, causing the locking bracket 14 to press against the locking position 22 along the protruding direction of the flange 21, thus fixing the locking bracket 14 and the connecting bracket 13 relatively, thereby restricting the downward movement of the locking bracket 14. This causes the locking bracket 14 to lock the locking position 22, and then a portion of the second latching protrusion 156 extends out of the connecting portion 132, with one of the second latching protrusions 156 engaging with one of the multiple second latching holes 1551, thereby restricting the rotation of the anti-disengagement component 155. This fixes the locking bracket 14 in the position where it locks the locking position 22, ensuring that the locking bracket 14 can always lock the locking position 22.
[0088] Understandably, the anti-loosening component 155 can be configured as an irregularly shaped nut, and the periphery of the anti-loosening component 155 is provided with multiple second locking holes 1551. When the locking bracket 14 locks the locking position 22, one of the multiple second locking holes 1551 may not be exactly opposite to the second locking protrusion 156. For example, if the second locking protrusion 156 is located between two adjacent second locking holes 1551, the anti-loosening component 155 can be slightly rotated so that the second locking hole 1551 is opposite to the second locking protrusion 156, so that the second locking protrusion 156 can be engaged in the second locking hole 1551. Because the pitch of the locking component 151 is generally short, even if the anti-loosening component 155 rotates one revolution, it can only drive the locking bracket 14 to move a very small distance. Therefore, rotating the anti-loosening component 155 at a certain angle can adjust the position of the second locking holes 1551 so that the multiple second locking holes 1551 are opposite to the first locking hole 133, which will hardly affect the locking of the locking bracket 14 and the locking position 22. Furthermore, the number of second locking holes 1551 on the anti-detachment component 155 can be appropriately increased to minimize the rotation angle of the anti-detachment component 155. Optionally, the number of second locking holes 1551 on the anti-detachment component 155 is greater than 4.
[0089] For further details, please refer to Figures 12 to 15The second latching protrusion 156 is elastically mounted on the locking bracket 14, and the second latching protrusion 156 tends to move away from the locking bracket 14. When the locking bracket 14 locks the locking position 22, the second latching protrusion 156 protrudes from the connecting bracket 13 to engage with the second latching hole 1551. Specifically, the second latching protrusion 156 is elastically mounted on the locking bracket 14 and can slide through the connecting portion 132. The second latching protrusion 156 tends to move away from the locking bracket 14, so that when the locking bracket 14 locks the locking position 22, the second latching protrusion 156 can automatically engage with the second latching hole 1551, thereby facilitating the locking of the locking bracket 14.
[0090] To facilitate the rotation of the anti-detachment component 155, in one embodiment, a pressing part 157 is fitted onto the second locking protrusion 156. The pressing part 157 is located on the side of the connecting bracket 13 facing the locking bracket 14. The pressing part 157 can push the second locking protrusion 156 away from the anti-detachment component 155 to disengage from the second locking hole 1551. Because the second locking protrusion 156 can automatically engage with the second locking hole 1551, before the locking bracket 14 is locked with the locking position 22, the anti-detachment component 155 needs to be rotated. At this time, the second locking protrusion 156 may engage with the second locking hole 1551, thus blocking the rotation of the anti-detachment component 155. If the second locking protrusion 156 is pressed directly at this time, it is difficult to operate. Especially when multiple locking brackets 14 are spaced apart on a connecting part 132, the number of second locking protrusions 156 is often also multiple, further increasing the difficulty of operation. Therefore, the pressing part 157 is provided so that the user can directly press the second card protrusion 156 to retract, thereby increasing the operable area of the second card protrusion 156 and making it easier for the user to operate.
[0091] To facilitate the installation of the second protrusion 156, in one embodiment, refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15The locking bracket 14 forms a mounting groove 142 on the side facing the connecting bracket 13. The second latching protrusion 156 includes a latching protrusion 1561 and an elastic portion 1562 disposed on the latching protrusion 1561 and facing the mounting groove 142. The side of the elastic portion 1562 away from the latching protrusion 1561 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 142 facing the connecting portion 132. Specifically, the locking bracket 14 forms a mounting groove 142 on the side facing the connecting bracket 13, with the opening of the mounting groove 142 facing the connecting bracket 13. The elastic portion 1562 abuts between the latching protrusion 1561 and the side wall of the mounting groove 142 facing the connecting bracket 13, thereby causing the latching protrusion 1561 to tend to move away from the locking bracket 14. Furthermore, to improve the installation stability of the elastic portion 1562, the elastic portion 1562 is configured as a first elastic segment 1563 and a second elastic segment 1564 arranged at an angle. The end of the first elastic segment 1563 away from the second elastic segment 1564 is provided with the locking protrusion 1561, and the end of the second elastic segment 1564 away from the first elastic segment 1563 abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 142. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic portion 1562 can also be configured as a compression spring. The mounting groove 142 can be formed by a partial flange of the locking bracket 14.
[0092] In summary, referring to Figures 8 to 16 When the anti-detachment component 152 includes the anti-detachment element 155 and the second locking protrusion 156, the installation steps of the mounting structure 12 are as follows:
[0093] First, by manually pushing the locking bracket 14 upward, the first hook 141 contacts the lower side of the protruding edge 21. Then, the position of the mounting structure 12 is adjusted along the protruding direction of the protruding edge 21, so that the first hook 141 engages with the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222. Then, the locking bracket 14 is further pushed to lock the locking position 22, so that the first hook 141 and the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222 are locked vertically. Then, the pressing part 15... 7. Press the second locking protrusion 156 to retract it into the mounting groove 142. Then rotate the anti-disengagement part 155 to make the first hook 141 clamp the water guide groove 221 or the second hook 222 along the protruding direction of the protruding edge 21. Then release the pressing part 157 to make the second locking protrusion 156 insert into the second locking hole 1551, thereby simultaneously locking the locking bracket 14 and the locking position 22 along the protruding direction and the up and down direction of the protruding edge 21, thus completing the installation of the mounting structure 12.
[0094] It is understood that the installation steps of the mounting structure 12 are not limited to this. As long as the mounting structure 12 can be installed on the protruding edge 21, it is within the protection scope of this solution.
[0095] To further guide the sliding of the locking bracket 14, in one embodiment, refer to Figure 5 The connecting portion 132 is provided with a second guide groove 135 extending in the vertical direction. The locking bracket 14 has a sliding portion 143, which slides through the second guide groove 135. The sliding portion 143 is provided with a blocking portion 144, which prevents the sliding portion 143 from dislodging from the second guide groove 135. Specifically, the sliding portion 143 can be formed by bending a portion of the locking bracket 14 towards the connecting portion 132. The blocking portion 144 can be configured as a fastening screw, which is detachably installed on the sliding portion 143, thereby preventing the sliding portion 143 from dislodging from the second guide groove 135. Therefore, two second guide grooves 135 can be provided at intervals, corresponding to two second sliding portions 143. The blocking portion 144 connects two sliding portions 143 simultaneously, thereby sliding the locking bracket 14 onto the connecting portion 132 and further preventing the locking bracket 14 from dislodging from the connecting portion 132.
[0096] The locking bracket 14 may be provided in multiple ways or in only one way. When there is only one locking bracket 14, the locking bracket 14 extends along the width direction of the connecting portion 132 (that is, the width direction of the window). When there are multiple locking brackets 14, the multiple locking brackets 14 are spaced apart along the width direction of the connecting portion 132.
[0097] To further ensure the connection stability of the connecting bracket 13, in one embodiment, please refer to 2 and Figure 3 The mounting bracket 1 has at least two perforated holes 101, with a dividing rib 102 between the two perforated holes 101. One end of the safety rope 103 is connected to the dividing rib 102, and the other end can be connected to the inner side of the wall or the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Specifically, the perforated holes 101 can be set on the connecting structure 12. One end of the safety rope 103 is connected to the dividing rib 102, and the other end is connected to a relatively fixed position such as the inner side of the wall or the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby applying a traction force to the mounting bracket 1. When the mounting structure 12 is accidentally loosened, it can pull the connecting bracket 13, thereby reducing the possibility of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner 3 accidentally falling. Furthermore, by setting two perforated holes 101 at intervals on the mounting bracket 1, a dividing rib 102 is formed between the two perforated holes 101, which facilitates the connection of the safety rope 103. In addition, the dividing rib 102 can be partially raised upwards, which further facilitates the connection of the safety rope 103.
[0098] Please see Figures 3 to 7 , Figures 9 to 12In this embodiment of the invention, a second adjusting member 136 is provided on the lower side of the connecting part 132. The second adjusting member 136 is threadedly connected to the connecting bracket 13, and the end of the second adjusting member 136 abuts against the outer wall 4. The second adjusting member 136 rotates to adjust the angle between the connecting bracket 13 and the outer wall 4. Specifically, the second adjusting member 136 is threadedly connected to the connecting bracket 13, and the end of the second adjusting member 136 abuts against the outer wall 4, thereby supporting the connecting bracket 13 between the connecting bracket 13 and the outer wall 4 and ensuring the stability of the connecting bracket 13. Furthermore, the rotation of the second adjusting member 136 allows the lower side of the connecting bracket 13 to move axially along the second adjusting member 136, thereby adjusting the distance between the connecting part 132 and the outer wall 4, and the deflection angle of the connecting part 132 relative to the outer wall 4. This allows for the adjustment of the position of the connecting part 132 when the wall surface is uneven, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the connecting bracket 13. In order to reduce the possibility of damage to the outer wall 4 when the second adjusting member 136 comes into contact with the outer wall 4, a buffer pad is provided at the end of the second adjusting member 136 facing the outer wall 4.
[0099] Reference Figures 2 to 4 , Figures 9 to 11 In an embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a bracket body 11, which is used for mounting the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner, and the bracket body 11 is mounted on the connecting bracket 13 to mount the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner outside the house.
[0100] Optionally, the bracket body 11 includes a first support frame 115 and a second support frame 116. The first support frame 115 is detachably installed on the connecting bracket 13 and extends downward. The second support frame 116 includes a fixing part 1161 and a supporting part 1162 arranged at an angle. The fixing part 1161 is connected to the first support frame 115 and extends downward. The supporting part 1162 is disposed between the fixing part 1161 and the outer wall 4. The outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner is at least installed with... On the side of the fixing part 1161 away from the outer wall 4, the supporting part 1162 is pressed against the outer wall 4; specifically, the supporting part 1162 and the fixing part 1161 are arranged at an angle, and one end of the supporting part 1162 is connected to the fixing part 1161, and the other end abuts against the outer wall 4. The outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner is installed on the side of the fixing part 1161 away from the outer wall 4, so that the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner can press the supporting part 1162 against the outer wall 4, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the bracket body 11.
[0101] Optionally, the fixing part 1161 and the supporting part 1162 are arranged perpendicularly, so that the bracket body 11, the protruding edge 21, and the wall enclose a stable rectangular structure, which helps to ensure the stable placement of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3. An adjustment position can also be provided between the first support frame 115 and the fixing part 1161, so that the distance between the first support frame 115 and the fixing part 1161 is adjustable, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation height of the air conditioner outdoor unit 3. The fixing part 1161 and the supporting part 1162 can be integrally formed or welded together.
[0102] The bracket body 11 can be detachably installed on the mounting structure 12. Therefore, during actual installation, the outdoor unit 3 can be fixed to the bracket body 11 first, and then the bracket body 11 can be installed on the mounting structure 12. This overcomes the inconvenience of installing the outdoor unit 3 in some installation scenarios, such as when the outdoor unit 3 and the bracket body 11 are far from the window, not flush with the window, or the installation method of the outdoor unit 3 and the bracket body 11 is complex and cannot be fixed simply by placement or snap-fit. Alternatively, the bracket body 11 can be installed on the mounting structure 12 first, and then the outdoor unit 3 can be fixed to the bracket body 11, further improving the installation flexibility of the outdoor unit 3 and facilitating its fixation. In other embodiments, the bracket body 11 can also be integrally formed with the mounting structure 12, welded, or connected by screws or bolts.
[0103] When the bracket body 11 and the mounting structure 12 are detachably installed, in one embodiment, to facilitate their installation, the upper side of the connecting bracket 13 is provided with a mounting hole, and the upper end of the bracket body 11 is provided with a mounting hook, which is hooked onto the mounting hole; the upper end of the bracket body 11 is provided with a mounting piece extending towards the connecting bracket 13, and fasteners connect the mounting piece and the connecting bracket 13. Specifically, the mounting hook is first hooked onto the mounting hole, thereby pre-fixing the bracket body 11 and the mounting structure 12, while the mounting piece is placed above the overlapping portion 131, and the fastener passes through the mounting piece and is fastened to the overlapping portion 131, thereby further fixing the bracket body 11 to the overlapping portion 131, thus facilitating the installation of the bracket body 11 and the mounting structure 12, and ensuring the stability of their installation.
[0104] Since the overlapping portion 131 is located on the upper side of the protruding edge 21, the mounting hole is located in the overlapping portion 131, further facilitating the installation of the bracket body 11. The fastener is generally a screw, which is at least threaded onto the overlapping portion 131. Therefore, to ensure the stability of the threaded connection, a nut structure is provided on the lower side of the overlapping portion 131, or the thickness of the overlapping portion 131 is increased to extend the length of the threaded connection and reduce the possibility of stripping.
[0105] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 11 The bracket body 11 also includes an adapter frame 117, which is fixed to the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner and is used to install the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner onto the fixing part 1161. Specifically, the adapter frame 117 can be snapped onto the bracket body 11 or fastened to the bracket body 11 by a third fastener. The adapter frame 117 is used to install the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit 3 of the air conditioner onto the bracket body 11.
[0106] Optionally, a third adjusting member 114 is provided at the end of the support portion 1162 away from the fixing portion 1161. The third adjusting member 114 is threadedly connected to the support portion 1162, and one end of the third adjusting member 114 abuts against the outer wall 4. The third adjusting member 114 rotates to adjust the angle between the fixing portion 1161 and the outer wall 4. Specifically, the rotation of the third adjusting member 114 allows the support portion 1162 to move axially along the third adjusting member 114, thereby adjusting the distance between the support portion 1162 and the outer wall 4. This ensures that even when the wall surface is uneven, the fixing portion 1161 remains perpendicular to the horizontal direction, thus guaranteeing the stable installation of the outdoor unit 3. Furthermore, to reduce the possibility of damage to the outer wall 4 when the third adjusting member 114 abuts against the outer wall 4, a buffer pad is provided at the end of the third adjusting member 114 facing the outer wall 4.
[0107] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit 3 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.
