[0028] The present application proposes an air conditioning system 10.

[0029] The air conditioner 10 of the present application may be a split-type air conditioner 10, which is easy for users to install. A flexible refrigerant pipe 500 is used to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and fills the refrigerant circuit with refrigerant before the system leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the system themselves, the user only needs to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit separately, without installing the refrigerant pipe and filling the refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation complexity and allowing the user to install it themselves. However, the configuration is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner 10 of the present application may also be a conventional split-type air conditioner 10.

[0030] Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the present application, in which the air conditioner 10 includes an installation bracket 400, an outdoor air conditioner unit 100, and a safety wire 300. The outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is installed on the installation bracket 400. One end of the safety wire 300 is connected to the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, and the other end of the safety wire 300 is configured to be connected to a fixed position.

[0031] Specifically, the installation bracket 400 is a main structure for securing the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. It is typically made of metal or high-strength engineering plastic, has sufficient strength and stability, and can bear the weight of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. The function of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is to exhaust indoor heat to the outside while drawing in outside air for cooling circulation. The outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is installed on the installation bracket 400 and is secured by the installation bracket 400 in an external environment, such as an outside window, railing, or exterior wall. One end of the safety rope 300 is fixedly connected to the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, and the other end is connected to a fixed position, such as a wall or other fixed structure of a building, fixed furniture, or an indoor air conditioner unit 200.This allows the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 to be tightened with the safety rope 300 to prevent it from falling and causing serious injury and damage, even in extreme environments (such as strong winds, heavy rain, heavy snowfall, etc.) or when the installation bracket 400 is loose or damaged.

[0032] In another in Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 7, one end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the installation bracket 400, and the other end of the safety rope 300 is configured to be connected to a fixed position. In extreme environments, if the installation bracket 400 is loose or damaged, the installation bracket 400 can be tightened with the safety rope 300 to prevent it from falling and causing serious injury and damage.

[0033] In another embodiment, at least two safety ropes 300 are provided; at least one end of at least one of them is connected to the installation bracket 400, and the other end is connected to a fixed position; at least one other safety rope 300 has one end connected to the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, and the other end is connected to a fixed position. The two fixed positions may be the same fixed position or different positions. Even if the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and the installation bracket 400 are separated from each other, the safety rope 300 can tighten the corresponding outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and the installation bracket 400, and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and the installation bracket 400 can be protected simultaneously.

[0034] The outdoor air conditioner unit 100 can also be securely protected by other safety devices. For example, the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 can also be connected to the indoor air conditioner unit 200 via the flexible refrigerant pipe 500. In this way, the safety cable 300 can prevent the installation bracket 400 from falling, and the flexible refrigerant pipe 500 can prevent the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 from falling.

[0035] In the technical solution of the present application, one end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and the other end is connected to a fixed position; therefore, the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is stably installed by the installation bracket 400, and the safety rope 300 serves to provide additional lifting to further ensure the stability of the installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and provide additional safety protection for the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, thereby reducing the risk of accidental falling of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and improving the safety of the installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100.Alternatively, the safety rope 300 can be used to tighten the installation bracket 400 by connecting one end of the safety rope 300 to the installation bracket 400 and the other end to a predetermined position, thereby reducing the risk of accidental falling of the installation bracket 400.

[0036] In one embodiment in Fig. 1, the air conditioner 10 further includes an air conditioner indoor unit 200, and an end of the safety rope 300 connected to the set position is connected to the air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0037] One end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, and the other end is connected to the indoor air conditioner unit 200. The indoor air conditioner unit 200 serves to provide a fixed position, and the safety rope 300 serves to provide additional lifting and protection for the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. Even if there is a problem with the installation bracket 400, the indoor air conditioner unit 200 can be stabilized by the safety rope 300 to reduce the risk of accidental falling.

[0038] By connecting one end of the safety rope 300, which is connected to the specified position, to the air conditioning indoor unit 200, the installation process is simplified. During the installation process, the air conditioning indoor unit 200 can directly serve as an anchor point without the need to identify or specify additional attachment points. This not only prevents damage to the wall but also simplifies the installation steps and saves the cost of manual installation.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure effective protection of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the air conditioner indoor unit 200 itself must be firmly mounted on a sufficiently strong structure, or the air conditioner indoor unit 200 itself will be prevented from moving.

[0040] In one embodiment in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the air conditioner 10 further comprises a locking member, the air conditioner indoor unit 200 or the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is provided with the locking member, and the safety rope 300 is strapped to the locking member.

[0041] The safety cable 300 can be effectively and quickly connected to the air conditioner indoor unit 200 or the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 by strapping it to the buckle link, without complicated installation steps or special tools. Using standard buckle links and the safety cable 300 reduces installation costs. At the same time, the installation and removal of the safety cable 300 using the buckle link can be easily performed by non-professionals without requiring installation expertise or special tools, eliminating the need for professional installation services and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, the installation process is simplified, making it easier to replace the safety cable 300 during regular inspection and maintenance.Buckle links are typically made of high-strength materials and can withstand high tensile and impact forces, ensuring that the safety rope 300 can securely fasten the outdoor air conditioning unit 100 in emergency situations (such as strong winds) to prevent it from falling.

[0042] The locking member may be provided only on the indoor air conditioner unit 200, only on the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, or on both the indoor air conditioner unit 200 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. In other embodiments, the safety cable 300 may also be connected to the indoor air conditioner unit 200 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 by means of a snap-in component, by welding, by means of a direct connection, etc.

[0043] In one embodiment in Fig. 3, the air conditioning indoor unit 200 or the air conditioning outdoor unit 100 is provided with a receiving slot 210, and the locking member has a first locking member 600 received in the receiving slot 210.

[0044] The presence of the receiving slot 210 allows the first latch member 600 to be fully or partially concealed therein, which not only ensures that the first latch member 600 is firmly attached to the air conditioning indoor unit 200 and / or the air conditioning outdoor unit 100 to prevent loosening or damage due to impact or vibration during daily use, but also prevents the first latch member 600 from being exposed to the outside and potentially disturbing the appearance, thereby improving the appearance. At the same time, the receiving slot 210 also protects the first latch member 600 from the influence of the external environment, i.e., from dust, moisture, or property damage.In addition, since the first buckle member 600 is securely received in the receiving slot 210, the first buckle member 600 can be effectively prevented from becoming loose due to misoperation or external factors, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the safety rope 300 and further ensuring the safety of the outdoor air conditioning unit 100.

[0045] In one embodiment in Fig. 3, the first buckle member 600 has a crossing buckle portion 610 and an installation portion, wherein the buckle portion 610 is exposed at the receiving slot 210 and is provided with a connection hole for connecting to the safety rope 300, wherein the installation portion is fixedly connected to the slot wall of the receiving slot 210.

[0046] The installation section (not shown in the figures) is arranged in the receiving slot 210 and firmly connected to the slot wall of the receiving slot 210, thereby ensuring that the entire first buckle member 600 can be firmly fastened in the receiving slot 210. Specifically, the installation section is snapped onto the slot wall of the receiving slot 210 and further firmly connected by means of a fastener. In other embodiments, the installation section can also be firmly connected to the slot wall of the receiving slot 210 by welding. The buckle section 610 is provided on the receiving slot 210 and can be exposed in the receiving slot 210. The connection hole on the buckle section 610 serves to connect the safety rope 300.The safety rope 300 can be tied directly to the buckle portion 610 via the connecting hole or strapped to the connecting hole to facilitate the installation and removal of the safety rope 300.

[0047] The clasp portion 610 and the installation portion intersect to form an integral structure, so that the first clasp member 600 is approximately T-shaped. The clasp portion 610 and the installation portion intersect and are integrally formed, which not only makes the first clasp member 600 more stable overall, but also simplifies the installation process. During installation, only the entire first clasp member 600 needs to be positioned in the receiving slot 210, after which the stability of the first clasp member 600 needs to be ensured by securing the installation portion; separate handling of the clasp portion 610 and the installation portion is not necessary.To further ensure the stability of the installation of the first buckle member 600, a limiting slot corresponding to the buckle portion 610 is surely provided on the wall of the receiving slot 210 to limit the buckle portion 610, or the buckle portion 610 may also be welded after the installation of the installation portion.

[0048] In a Fig. 2, the closure member comprises a second closure member 700 provided on the outer surface of the air conditioning indoor unit 200 and / or the air conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0049] Compared to the first latch member 600, which must be inserted into the receiving slot 210, the second latch member 700 is easier to install. The second latch member 700 can be directly attached to the exterior surface of the air conditioner without involving the receiving slot 210 on the exterior surface of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby simplifying the processing process and improving processing efficiency.

[0050] For the indoor air conditioner unit 200 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, there is a choice of installing the first latch link 600 simultaneously, or the second latch link 700 simultaneously, or the first latch link 600 can be installed on one of them and the second latch link 700 can be installed on the other. For the separate indoor air conditioner unit 200 and outdoor air conditioner unit 100, the first latch link 600 and the second latch link 700 can be used separately or together to provide dual protection. Even if one type of latch link fails or is damaged, another type of latch link can still be connected to the safety cable 300, thereby reducing the risk of accidental release of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100.Different types of buckle links may also be better suited to different types of safety ropes 300, thereby improving the compatibility of connecting the safety rope 300.

[0051] In the Fig. 4, the air conditioning indoor unit 200 and / or the air conditioning outdoor unit 100 includes a housing 110 and a connector 120 installed in the housing 110, the connector 120 being connected to the second closure member 700, and the housing 110 being provided with an installation through-hole 111 for the second closure member 700 to pass through.

[0052] The housing of the indoor air conditioner unit 200 and the housing 110 of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 are typically made of metal or plastic and other materials and serve to protect the internal components and provide structural support. The connector 120 in the housing 110 serves to connect the second closure member 700. The connector 120 can be made of sheet metal, making it highly durable and able to withstand the tension of the safety cable 300 under various conditions.The housing 110 is provided with an installation through-hole 111, and the second buckle member 700 passes through the installation through-hole 111 and is connected to the connector 120 in the housing 110, thereby ensuring that the fastening of the second buckle member 700 not only depends on its connection to the surface of the housing 110, but also has the inner connector 120 as a support, so that even in bad weather, it can be ensured that the second buckle member 700 will not easily separate from the housing 110, thereby ensuring that the safety rope 300 will not loosen, thereby greatly improving the overall stability and safety.

[0053] In a Fig. 4, the outer surface of the housing 110 is provided with a reinforcing rib 112, and the reinforcing rib 112 is provided on the outside of the installation through hole 111 and is provided corresponding to the edge of the connector 120.

[0054] The reinforcing rib 112 is provided on the outside of the installation through hole 111 corresponding to the edge of the connector 120 to improve the structural strength of the area, which can significantly increase the pressure and stress resistance of the housing 110, effectively disperse stresses, reduce the local sectional stress concentration, and prevent the housing 110 from being deformed or cracked around the installation through hole 111 when the safety wire 300 is tensioned.

[0055] In a Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, the second closure member 700 is configured as a retaining ring, and the connector 120 is detachably connected to the retaining ring.

[0056] The second locking link 700 is in the form of a retaining ring to facilitate the quick connection and release of the safety cable 300. Thanks to the detachable connection between the connector 120 and the retaining ring, the user can easily install or remove the safety cable 300 as needed without having to permanently attach it to the housing 110. This addresses situations where the indoor air conditioning unit 200 and the outdoor air conditioning unit 100 need to be maintained or moved at regular intervals, or where safety measures need to be adjusted in different seasons. Threaded, snap-in, or other reliable locking mechanisms can be used between the connector 120 and the retaining ring to ensure the security and durability of the connection between the two.

[0057] In other embodiments, the connector 120 and the retaining ring may also be firmly connected by welding or other methods to ensure the security of the connection between the two.

[0058] In a Fig. 4 and Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the connector 120 is configured as a fan installation frame of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 when the second closure member 700 is provided on the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. The fan installation frame is provided with an installation flange 121 that abuts the inside of the housing 110. The installation flange 121 is provided with a tightening nut 122 that corresponds to the installation through-hole 111. The retaining ring is provided with a threaded bolt. The threaded bolt passes through the installation through-hole 111 and is screwed into the tightening nut 122.

[0059] The installation flange 121 can be in close contact with the inside of the casing 110 of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and provides a stable support surface, allowing the connector 120 to be better installed on the casing 110, thereby improving the fastening effect of the connector 120 and the casing 110. At the same time, the installation flange 121 provides an installation position for the draw-in nut 122, so that the draw-in nut 122 corresponds to the installation through-hole 111 on the casing 110. The retaining ring is provided with a threaded bolt. The threaded bolt can smoothly pass through the installation through-hole 111 on the casing 110 and can be precisely screwed to the draw-in nut 122 on the installation flange 121.The threaded connection between the retaining ring and the connector 120 not only ensures sufficient connection strength and ensures the stability and safety of the connection between the safety rope 300 and the outdoor air conditioning unit 100, but also facilitates the installation and removal process of the retaining ring and the outdoor air conditioning unit 100, thereby saving maintenance costs.

[0060] The connector 120 is designed as a fan installation frame of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. The fan installation frame has high strength and can serve both for installing the fan and as a connector 120 for connecting to the retaining ring, thereby reducing the number of parts in the outdoor air conditioner unit 100.

[0061] In other embodiments, the connector 120 may not be configured as a fan installation frame; however, a sheet metal part may be used alone to withstand the tension of the safety cable 300 under various conditions to prevent the tension of the safety cable 300 from acting directly on the housing 110 and damaging the housing 110.

[0062] In a Fig. 2 to Fig. 6, the buckle member includes a first buckle member 600 provided on the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and a second buckle member 700 provided on the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the safety rope 300 including a rope body 310 and a third buckle member 320 and a fourth buckle member 330 provided at both ends of the rope body 310, the third buckle member 320 being buckled to the first buckle member 600 and the fourth buckle member 330 being buckled to the second buckle member 700.

[0063] By placing the first buckle member 600 and the second buckle member 700 on the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, respectively, and then using the third buckle member 320 and the fourth buckle member 330 on the safety rope 300 to be strapped thereto, a complete and stable connection system is formed, thereby ensuring that the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is securely fixed in a designated position under various weather conditions and thus prevented from falling due to wind, rain, or vibration.

[0064] Thanks to the design of the third buckle link 320 and the fourth buckle link 330, the installation and removal of the safety rope 300 is very simple, without complicated tools or operations. This not only simplifies the initial installation process, but also subsequent inspection and maintenance. The third buckle link 320 and / or the fourth buckle link 330 are configured as an emergency wire retaining hook, or at least one is configured as a bottle-gourd-shaped buckle. The third buckle link 320 and the fourth buckle link 330 can be adjusted or replaced as needed to adapt to safety ropes 300 of different lengths or to meet specific connection requirements. The safety rope 300 can be made of materials such as steel wire, nylon, and highly elastic plastic.

[0065] In a Fig. 2 and Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, at least one safety rope 300, at least one first locking member 600 and at least one second locking member 700 are provided, and the number of the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 700 is not less than the number of the safety rope 300.

[0066] In one embodiment, a safety cable 300, a first locking member 600, and a second locking member 700 are provided, and both ends of the safety cable 300 are connected to the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 700, respectively, thereby achieving secure connection and protection of the air conditioning indoor unit 200 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0067] In another embodiment, at least one safety rope 300, a plurality of first buckle members 600, and a plurality of second buckle members 700 are provided, and both the number of the first buckle member 600 and the number of the second buckle member 700 are not less than the number of the safety rope 300. If the first buckle member 600 and the second buckle member 700 are damaged, the safety rope 300 can still be connected to other first buckle members 600 and second buckle members 700, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the safety rope 300 connecting the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0068] In a Fig. 7 and Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 8, the installation bracket 400 is provided with at least two hollow holes 410, a separating rib 420 is provided between the two hollow holes 410, and one end of the safety cable 300 is connected to the separating rib 420. In this embodiment, the separating rib 420 is formed by placing the hollow holes 410 at intervals, which can be done by a simple punching process. In some embodiments, the separating rib 420 is curved to facilitate the connection of one end of the safety cable 300.

[0069] In a Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, at least one end of the safety rope 300 is provided with an emergency wire holding hook. The emergency wire holding hook serves to connect the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the installation bracket 400, or the specified position. Thanks to the emergency wire holding hook, the locking relationship with the connection object can be quickly established or released, and the established locking relationship is stable and reliable. Without departing from generality, taking the connection of one end of the safety rope 300 to the barrier rib 420 of the installation bracket 400 as an example, one end of the safety rope 300 can be quickly and reliably connected to the barrier rib 420 by means of the emergency wire holding hook. However, the patent interpretation is not limited to this, and in other implementations, one end of the safety rope 300 may also be directly tied to the barrier rib 420.In one embodiment, a spring wire lock 340 is provided on the emergency wire retaining hook, and a spring is provided in the spring wire lock 340. In response to pressure on a wire inlet end of the spring wire lock 340, the spring is compressed to allow adjustment of the length of the safety wire 300 passing through the spring wire lock 340. That is, the spring wire lock 340 can be used to adjust the usable length of the safety wire 300, so that the length of the safety wire 300 can be adjusted in accordance with the current installation environment.

[0070] In a Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, one end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the top of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 or to the upper end of the peripheral side of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, and the other end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the peripheral side of the indoor air conditioner unit 200.

[0071] The top of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 or the upper end of the peripheral side of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is the best position for the outdoor air conditioner unit 100, so that it can bear weight and withstand the force of the wind. Therefore, connecting the safety rope 300 to it can ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is effectively secured and protected in strong winds or other external forces. The other end of the safety rope 300 is connected to the peripheral side of the indoor air conditioner unit 200, and the indoor air conditioner unit 200 can serve as a fixed anchor point. This not only provides additional stability but also utilizes the stability of the indoor air conditioner unit 200, which is usually installed on the interior wall or ceiling, to increase the safety factor of the entire system.This connection position also ensures that the air conditioner indoor unit 200 does not fall easily when subjected to voltage.

[0072] In one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 further includes a flexible refrigerant pipe 500, and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit 200 are connected by the flexible refrigerant pipe 500.

[0073] With reference to Fig.1, the main function of the flexible refrigerant pipe 500 is to transfer the cooling effect generated by the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 (condenser) to the air conditioner indoor unit 200 (evaporator) to cool the indoor air. In heating mode, its role is reversed, i.e., it transfers the heat absorbed by the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to the indoor unit. Its flexible design allows the flexible refrigerant pipe 500 to adapt to different installation angles and distances during installation, providing high installation flexibility. The air conditioner 10 generates some vibration during operation, and the flexible refrigerant pipe 500 can absorb this vibration, reducing stress on the pipe joints and extending the service life of the system. The flexible refrigerant pipe 500 is connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit 200 via sheet metal parts.The flexible refrigerant pipe 500 provides additional protection in addition to the safety rope 300. It can provide additional protection if the air conditioning outdoor unit 100 falls. The flexible refrigerant pipe 500 is typically made of a braided stainless steel, copper, aluminum, or composite material, or of relatively high-strength engineering plastics.

[0074] In one embodiment, the compressor of the air conditioning system 10 is provided on the air conditioning indoor unit 200.

[0075] The compressor is provided on the air conditioner indoor unit 200 to reduce the weight of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby facilitating the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and reducing the tension requirements of the safety wire 300. Accordingly, the corresponding compressor should be provided with a noise reduction structure for indoor noise reduction.

[0076] Only some embodiments of the present application have been set forth above; they are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Under the concept of the present application, any equivalent structural transformation made using the description and accompanying drawings of the present application or applied directly or indirectly to other related technical fields is within the scope of the present application.
