[0057] The house is provided with a window structure, and the user can install the air conditioner outdoor unit in the house through a mounting bracket. Currently, the mounting bracket is provided with a connecting structure for connecting to the window structure, and an air conditioner outdoor unit installation position for connecting the air conditioner outdoor unit. The air conditioner outdoor unit installation position is fixed relative to the connecting structure, so that the distance between the center of gravity of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the mounting bracket as a whole and the connecting structure is determined. However, the environment in which the user's window structure is located varies, which may cause the mounting bracket and the air conditioner outdoor unit to be in an environment with strong airflow. If the mounting bracket and the air conditioner outdoor unit are often subjected to strong airflow, the connection stability between the connecting structure and the window structure will be reduced. To this end, the present application proposes a mounting bracket, which is intended to make the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position and the connecting structure adjustable, so that the distance between the center of gravity of the first whole and the connecting structure can be shortened to improve the connection stability between the connecting structure and the window structure. Among them, the first whole includes the air conditioner outdoor unit and the mounting bracket.

[0058] The first embodiment of the present application refers to Figures 1 to 16, the second embodiment of the present application refers to Figures 17 to 24, and the drawings of the third embodiment of the present application are not shown. Specifically referring to Figures 1 to 3, 5-9, Figures 12 to 16, Figure 17, and Figures 19 to 24, in the first and second embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket 300 is used to be installed on a house 100, and the house 100 is provided with a window structure 110. It should be noted that the house 100 can be a house 100 of a fixed building, or a house 100 of a vehicle, such as a house 100 of an RV. The mounting bracket 300 includes a connecting structure 311 for connecting the window structure 110, and a load-bearing frame 320 connected to the connecting structure 311. Without loss of generality, the window structure 110 may be a window structure 110 provided on the sloping roof of the attic of the house 100, the window structure 110 including a window frame 120 and a window door 130 provided on the window frame 120, the window door 130 being used to open and close the window frame 120, the connecting structure 311 being connectable to the window edge of the window frame 120; the window structure 110 may also be a French window structure, the connecting structure 311 being connectable to the railing 140 of the French window structure; the window structure 110 may also be in the structural form of other windows for connection to the connecting structure 311, which is not limited here. The load-bearing frame 320 includes a frame body 330 extending along a first direction, and an adjustment frame 340 connected to the frame body 330. The adjustment frame 340 is provided with an air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 for connecting the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. In the first direction, one of the adjustment frame 340 and the frame body 330 is provided with multiple first adjustment positions 341, allowing the other to select one for installation. This allows for adjusting the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 and the connection structure 311. Without loss of generality, the adjustment frame 340 having the first adjustment position 341 will be used as an example for description. Thus, if the window structure 110 is located in an environment with high airflow intensity, the user can select a first adjustment position 341 farther from the connection structure 311 for installation of the frame body 330, thereby shortening the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 and the connection structure 311. For ease of explanation, a first unit is defined as comprising the mounting bracket 300 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. This shortens the distance between the center of gravity of the first unit and the connection structure 311, reducing the impact of airflow on the first unit and improving the stability of the connection between the connection structure 311 and the window structure 110. For example, if the bracket body 330 has a first adjustment position 341, the user can select the first adjustment position 341 closer to the connection structure 311 for the adjustment bracket 340 installation, thereby shortening the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 and the connection structure 311. It should be noted that the term "plurality" herein refers to at least two.

[0059] In the first and second embodiments, adjacent first adjustment positions 341 are spaced apart. This allows the plurality of first adjustment positions 341 to be arranged discontinuously, thereby enabling the load-bearing frame 320 to achieve adjustable gear positions and reducing the manufacturing cost of the mounting bracket 300. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, adjacent first adjustment positions 341 may be connected. This allows the plurality of first adjustment positions 341 to be arranged continuously as a whole, thereby enabling stepless adjustment of the load-bearing frame 320.

[0060] In the first and second embodiments, the adjustment bracket 340 is provided with a first guide slot 345 that slidably engages with the bracket body 330. The first guide slot 345 extends along a first direction. Thus, the user can slide the adjustment bracket 340 relative to the bracket body 330 via the first guide slot 345. Without loss of generality, the adjustment bracket 340 having a first adjustment position 341 is described as an example. It will be understood that the bracket body 330 is also provided with a first mounting position 900 for mounting at one of the first adjustment positions 341. During the relative sliding of the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340, the first mounting position 900 may pass through all of the first adjustment positions 341. The user can then position the first mounting position 900 at the desired first adjustment position 341, facilitating installation of the bracket body 330 at that first adjustment position 341. This effectively reduces the time required to align the first mounting position 900 with the first adjustment position 341 to be mounted. However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the frame body 330 may be provided with a first guide groove 345 that is slidably engaged with the adjustment frame 340 , and the first guide groove 345 extends along the first direction.

[0061] In the first and second embodiments, the connecting structure 311 extends along a second direction, which is different from the first direction. In the first direction, the connecting structure 311 has a connecting surface located near the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342. This connecting surface is used to connect to the window structure 110. If the window structure 110 includes a window frame 120 and a window door 130 rotatably mounted on the window frame 120, the window door 130 is used to control the opening and closing of the window frame 120. The user can connect the connecting surface of the connecting structure 311 to the window edge of the window frame 120. As will be understood, because the second direction is different from the first direction, the connecting structure 311 and the frame body 330 form an angle. This facilitates moving the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 away from the window frame 120, thereby facilitating the outdoor unit 200 to move away from the window frame 120. This helps reduce the opening of the window door 130, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner on the room 100. If the window structure 110 is a French window, the user can connect the connecting surface to the upper surface of the French window railing 140. It is worth mentioning that the user can also select the first adjustment position 341 to increase the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342 and the connection structure 311, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342 is away from the window frame 120, thereby facilitating the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be away from the window frame 120. This helps reduce the opening of the window door 130, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner on the house 100.

[0062] In the first and second embodiments, in the second direction, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a support base 800 disposed on the side of the load-bearing frame 320 near the connection surface, and the air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342 is disposed on the side of the load-bearing frame 320 facing away from the connection surface. The support base 800 is provided with a support surface 881 on the side facing away from the load-bearing frame 320 for contacting the house 100. In the second direction, the load-bearing frame 320 is configured to at most partially block the air intake area of ​​the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 in the direction facing away from the connection surface. In this manner, the support base 800 supports the load-bearing frame 320, forming an air duct between the load-bearing frame 320 and the house 100. In the second direction, the air intake area of ​​the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 not blocked by the load-bearing frame 320 can communicate with the air duct, thereby allowing the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to still have a large air intake. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the support base 800 may be omitted, and the support surface 881 may be provided on the side of the load-bearing frame 320 near the connection structure 311.

[0063] In the first and second embodiments, after the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 is connected to the air-conditioning outdoor unit installation completion position 342, the size of the air inlet area in the width direction of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 is larger than the size of the load-bearing frame 320, so that the load-bearing frame 320 at most partially blocks the air inlet area of ​​the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200.

[0064] In one embodiment and a second embodiment, the frame body 330 is provided with a first air hole 610, and the adjustment frame 340 is provided with a second air hole 620. When the frame body 330 and the adjustment frame 340 are matched in any first adjustment position 341, the first air hole 610 and the second air hole 620 are at least partially opposite to each other in the second direction to limit an air passage 600 for revealing at least a portion of the air inlet area. Specifically, in the second direction, the projection of the first air hole 610, the projection of the second air hole 620, and the projection of the air inlet area at least partially overlap.

[0065] In the first and second embodiments, the support base 800 is rotatably connected to the load-bearing frame 320 to adjust the angle between the connection surface and the support surface 881. The adjustable angle between the connection surface and the support surface 881 of the mounting bracket 300 facilitates adaptability to a wider range of housing types 100. Without loss of generality, taking the attic of a housing 100 as an example, the attic's pitched roof is provided with a window structure 110. The connection surface is connected to the lower window edge of the window frame 120 of the window structure 110, and the support surface 881 is located on the outer side of the attic's pitched roof. The angle between the lower window edge and the outer side of the pitched roof may vary from attic to attic. The mounting bracket 300 can be rotated relative to the load-bearing frame 320 via the support base 800 to ensure a closer fit between the connection surface and the lower window edge, and between the support surface 881 and the outer side of the pitched roof. Similarly, the mounting bracket 300 can also accommodate the railing 140 of a French window structure, which will not be discussed in detail here. Of course, for cost considerations, in other embodiments, the support base 800 and the load-bearing frame 320 may be fixedly connected.

[0066] In the first and second embodiments, the support base 800 is disposed on the adjustment frame 340. This allows the support base 800 to be positioned farther from the connection structure 311, providing better support for the support frame and making the mounting bracket 300 more stable. However, the present design is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the support base 800 may be disposed on the frame body 330.

[0067] In both the first and second embodiments, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a third adapter structure 500 for connecting to the window structure 110. Either the third adapter structure 500 or the connecting surface has at least two second adjustment positions in the second direction, allowing the other to be selectively installed. Thus, the connecting structure 311 is connected to the window structure 110 via the third adapter structure 500. The window sill structure may have uneven areas in the second direction that are difficult for the connecting structure 311 to connect to. Therefore, the mounting bracket 300 can avoid these uneven areas by adjusting the position of the third adapter structure 500 in the second direction.

[0068] There are many ways to adjust the third adapter structure 500 to the connection structure 311. In the first and second embodiments, the connection surface is provided with an elongated hole 313 extending along the second direction. The elongated hole 313 has a second adjustment position, and the third adapter structure 500 is bolted to the connection surface through the elongated hole 313. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the connection surface has a second adjustment position, and the second adjustment position has an adjustment hole for the third adapter structure 500 to engage.

[0069] In the first and second embodiments, the window structure 110 has a lower window sill, and the third adapter structure 500 is provided with an adhesive layer for bonding to the lower window sill. This facilitates the connection of the mounting bracket to the window structure 110, allowing users to install the air conditioner at home without having to wait for an installer to come. Furthermore, since users can install the air conditioner themselves, they can avoid the installation fees. Furthermore, drilling holes in the window structure 110 is unnecessary, preventing damage to the window structure.

[0070] In the first and second embodiments, the window structure 110 includes a railing 140, and the third adapter structure 500 and the frame body 330 are disposed on the front and rear sides of the railing 140. This facilitates the connection of the mounting frame to the window structure 110, allowing users to install the air conditioner at home without having to wait for an installer to come. Furthermore, since users can install the air conditioner themselves, they can avoid the installation fees. Furthermore, drilling holes in the railing 140 is unnecessary, preventing damage to the window structure 110.

[0071] In the first and second embodiments, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a drawstring, one end of which is connected to the support frame 320 and the other end of which is connected to the house 100. This improves the safety of the outdoor air conditioner 200. Even if the connecting structure 311 becomes detached from the window sill structure, the support frame 320 can still be connected to the house 100 via the drawstring, preventing the outdoor air conditioner 200 from falling. The drawstring can be used, but is not limited to, to connect to the anti-theft net of the window structure 110 or the indoor air conditioner in a room.

[0072] There are many ways to connect the pull rope to the load-bearing frame 320. In the first and second embodiments, the pull rope is connected to the connecting frame body 330. However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the pull rope is connected to the adjustment frame 340.

[0073] In the first and second embodiments, the connecting structure 311 or the load-bearing frame 320 is provided with a buckle hole, and the mounting bracket 300 further includes a buckle ring 710 that is buckled into the buckle hole. The other end of the pull rope is connected to the connecting structure 311 or the load-bearing frame 320 via the buckle ring 710. This improves the efficiency of connecting the pull rope to the connecting structure 311 or the load-bearing frame 320.

[0074] The first embodiment and the second embodiment are described below respectively.

[0075] In the first embodiment, the adjustment bracket 340 includes a first groove bottom plate 346 and two first groove side plates 347 disposed on the first groove bottom plate 346. The first groove bottom plate 346 and the two first groove side plates 347 enclose a first guide groove 345. This reduces the material required to form the adjustment bracket 340. In the first embodiment, each first groove side plate 347 is provided with a first flange 348 extending toward the other first groove side plate 347. The bracket body 330 is disposed between the first groove bottom plate 346 and the first flange 348. Thus, the first groove bottom plate 346 and the first flange 348 provide a position limit for the bracket body 330 in the depth direction of the first guide groove 345, allowing the bracket body 330 to slide relatively stably within the first guide groove 345. Furthermore, the provision of the first flange 348 prevents the first groove side plates 347 from injuring hands during assembly and disassembly of the bracket 300.

[0076] In the first embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a bolt disposed at a first adjustment position 341 for passing through the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340. This allows the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340 to be relatively fixed, thereby improving the structural stability of the mounting bracket 300. Furthermore, bolts are readily available components and can be easily retrieved if damaged. Without loss of generality, the example of the adjustment bracket 340 having the first adjustment position 341 will be used for further explanation. It can be understood that the bracket body 330 is correspondingly provided with a first mounting position 900 for installing one of the first adjustment positions 341. The first adjustment position 341 is provided with an adjustment hole, and the first mounting position 900 is provided with a mounting hole. Bolts are passed through the adjustment hole and the mounting hole to connect the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340. It is worth noting that the bolts may be, but are not limited to, hand-tightened bolts.

[0077] In the first embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a first adapter structure 430 for connecting to the outdoor air conditioner 200. One of the bracket body 330 and the first adapter structure 430 is provided with a second guide slot 331 extending in a first direction, the second guide slot 331 being adapted for sliding the other bracket into. Thus, the outdoor air conditioner 200 can be connected to the bracket body 330 via the first adapter structure 430. The first adapter structure 430 provides a user with a choice. If the house 100 has a shelf for placing the outdoor air conditioner 200, the user can choose not to connect the first adapter structure 430 to the outdoor air conditioner 200 and directly move the outdoor air conditioner 200 to the shelf, thereby reducing the weight the user bears when moving the outdoor air conditioner 200. If the house 100 does not have a shelf for placing the outdoor air conditioner 200, the user can choose to connect the outdoor air conditioner 200 to the bracket body 330 via the first adapter structure 430. Furthermore, without loss of generality, taking the example of the bracket body 330 being provided with the second guide groove 331, the user can first carry the mounting bracket 300 to the window structure 110, and then carry the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 so that the first adapter structure 430 slides into the second guide groove 331. In this way, the mounting bracket 300 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 are carried separately, which helps reduce the difficulty of the user in completing the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. The sliding engagement of the first adapter structure 430 with the second guide groove 331 also facilitates the user to complete the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. The air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342 is configured as a first stop position 343. The first adapter structure 430 can slide between the connecting structure 311 and the first stop position 343. The first stop position 343 is used for the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be stopped by the first adapter structure 430. In this manner, the user can push the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to cause the first adapter structure 430 to slide toward the first stop position 343. When the first adapter structure 430 stops at the first stop position 343, the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 is installed. However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the adjustment bracket 340 is provided with a shelf, and the shelf is provided with the air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342.

[0078] In the first embodiment, the connecting structure 311 extends along a second direction, which is different from the first direction. In the first direction, the connecting structure 311 has a connecting surface located near the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342. This connecting surface is used to connect to the window structure 110. For example, if the window structure 110 is installed on the sloping roof of an attic in a building 100, the connecting surface can be located at the lower edge of the window frame 120. Since the mounting bracket is connected to the connecting structure 311, the user can stand in the attic to install the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. This places the second guide groove 331 closer to the user, making it easier for the user to carry the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, along with the first adapter structure 430, to the bracket body 330. This allows the first adapter structure 430 to be easily aligned with the second guide groove 331 and, consequently, to slide easily into the second guide groove 331. Furthermore, the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 can slide the first adapter structure 430 into the second guide groove 331 under its own weight. If the window structure 110 is a French window structure, the connection surface can be provided on the upper surface of the French window railing 140 . In this way, the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 can slide the first adapter structure 430 in the second guide groove 331 by its own weight.

[0079] In the first embodiment, the frame body 330 includes a second groove bottom plate 332 and two second groove side plates 333 provided on the second groove bottom plate 332. The second groove bottom plate 332 and the two second groove side plates 333 surround the second guide groove 331. In this way, less material is required for forming the frame body 330.

[0080] In the first embodiment, each second slot side plate 333 is provided with a second flange 334 extending toward the other second slot side plate 333. The first adapter structure 430 is disposed between the first slot bottom plate 346 and the first flange 348. Thus, the second slot bottom plate 332 and the second flange 334 provide a position limit for the first adapter structure 430 in the depth direction of the second guide slot 331, allowing the first adapter structure 430 to slide relatively stably within the second guide slot 331. Furthermore, the provision of the second flange 334 prevents the second slot side plates 333 from injuring hands during assembly and disassembly of the mounting bracket 300.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 4 , in the first embodiment, in the connection surface orientation, the second guide groove 331 includes a first guide segment 335 proximal to the connection structure 311 and a second guide segment 336 distal to the connection structure 311. The second guide segment 336 connects to the first guide segment 335, and the second flange 334 is disposed on the second guide segment 336. It is understood that users typically place the first adapter structure 430 against the connection between the connection structure 311 and the frame body 330 for leverage, thereby facilitating adjustment of the first adapter structure 430 and enabling it to slide smoothly into the second guide groove 331. Since the second flange 334 is arranged on the second guide section 336 instead of the first guide section 335, the first adapter structure 430 will not be interfered with by the second flange 334 during the process of adjusting its position, so that the first adapter structure 430 can quickly enter the first guide section 335, and gradually slide the first adapter structure 430 along the first direction during the sliding process of the second guide section 336, so that the first adapter structure 430 can smoothly slide into the second guide section 336.

[0082] In the first embodiment, the first transfer structure 430 includes a sliding portion that slides with the second guide groove 331. The sliding portion is groove-shaped and includes a third groove bottom plate 431 and two third groove side plates 432 arranged on the third groove bottom plate 431. In this way, less material is required to form the sliding portion.

[0083] In the first embodiment, any third slot side plate 432 is provided with a third flange 433 extending toward the other third slot side plate 432. The third flange 433 abuts the second slot bottom plate 332, and the third slot bottom plate 431 abuts the second flange 334. This allows the sliding portion to slide relatively stably within the second guide slot 331. Furthermore, the provision of the third flange 433 prevents the sliding portion from injuring the hands during assembly and disassembly of the mounting bracket 300.

[0084] 10 and 11 , in the first embodiment, the frame body 330 is provided with a second guide slot 331, and the connecting structure 311 is provided with a transition guide slot 315 that communicates with the second guide slot 331. This allows the transition guide slot 315 to be closer to the interior space of the house 100. This allows the user to carry the outdoor air conditioner 200 and the first adapter structure 430 together, aligning the first adapter structure 430 with the transition guide slot 315. This reduces the amount of forward leaning required, potentially even eliminating the need for the user to overextend their arms, thus minimizing fatigue during installation of the outdoor air conditioner 200. Once the first adapter structure 430 engages with the transition guide slot 315, the user can push the outdoor air conditioner 200 to slide the first adapter structure 430 from the transition guide slot 315 into the second guide slot 331. This avoids the need for the user to directly carry the outdoor air conditioner 200 and the first adapter structure 430 directly to the second guide slot 331, significantly improving safety during installation of the outdoor air conditioner 200. If the connecting structure 311 is arranged on the lower window edge of the window frame 120, the first transfer structure 430 can cooperate with the transition guide groove 315 to borrow force through the lower window edge, thereby reducing the burden on the user. If the connecting structure 311 is arranged on the upper surface of the railing 140, the first transfer structure 430 can cooperate with the transition guide groove 315 to borrow force through the railing 140, thereby reducing the burden on the user.

[0085] In the first embodiment, for the first adapter structure 430 mentioned in this article, the first adapter structure 430 is provided with a third air hole 630, and the first air hole 610, the second air hole 620, and the third air hole 630 are at least partially opposite to each other in the second direction to limit the air passage 600 for revealing at least part of the air inlet area. Specifically, in the second direction, the projection of the first air hole 610, the projection of the second air hole 620, the projection of the third air hole 630, and the projection of the air passing area at least partially overlap.

[0086] In the second embodiment, the first guide slot 345 defines a plurality of positioning holes 349 in the first direction, with each positioning hole 349 corresponding to a first adjustment position 341. The frame body 330 is provided with a positioning portion 337 that engages with a selected positioning hole 349. Without loss of generality, further explanation will be provided using the adjustment frame 340 having the first adjustment position 341 as an example. It will be understood that the frame body 330 also includes a first mounting position 900 for mounting a selected first adjustment position 341. When the positioning portion 337 engages with the positioning hole 349, the first mounting position 900 aligns with the corresponding first adjustment position 341, facilitating user installation of the frame body 330 and the adjustment frame 340.

[0087] In the second embodiment, the positioning hole 349 is provided on the bottom wall of the first guide groove 345, and the positioning portion 337 is configured as a positioning hook, which engages with the positioning hole 349. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the positioning hole 349 is provided on the side wall of the first guide groove 345, and the positioning portion 337 is configured as a positioning telescopic portion, so as to have a compressed state and an extended state. When the positioning telescopic portion slides on the side wall of the groove, the positioning telescopic portion is in a compressed state. When the positioning telescopic portion slides to the positioning hole 349, the positioning telescopic portion transitions from the compressed state to the extended state, extending into the positioning hole 349, thereby engaging the positioning telescopic portion with the positioning hole 349.

[0088] In the second embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a pin provided at the first adjustment position 341 for passing through the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340. This allows the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340 to be relatively fixed, which is beneficial for improving the structural stability of the mounting bracket 300. In addition, the pin is a component that is easily accessible on the market and can be easily accessed when damaged. Without loss of generality, the adjustment bracket 340 having the first adjustment position 341 is further explained as an example. It can be understood that the bracket body 330 is correspondingly provided with a first mounting position 900 for selecting one of the first adjustment positions 341 for installation. The first adjustment position 341 is provided with an adjustment hole, and the first mounting position 900 is provided with a mounting hole. The pin passes through the adjustment hole and the mounting hole to connect the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340.

[0089] In the second embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a second adapter structure 440 for connecting to the outdoor air conditioner 200. One of the adjustment bracket 340 and the second adapter structure 440 is provided with a third guide slot 441 extending along a first direction, and the third guide slot 441 is configured to allow the other to slide into the adjustment member. In this manner, the outdoor air conditioner 200 can be connected to the adjustment member via the second adapter structure 440. The second adapter structure 440 provides a user with a choice. If the house 100 is provided with a shelf for placing the outdoor air conditioner 200, the user can choose not to connect the second adapter structure 440 to the outdoor air conditioner 200 and directly move the outdoor air conditioner 200 to the shelf, thereby reducing the weight borne by the user when moving the outdoor air conditioner 200. If the house 100 is not provided with a shelf for placing the outdoor air conditioner 200, the user can choose to connect the outdoor air conditioner 200 to the adjustment bracket 340 via the second adapter structure 440. Furthermore, without loss of generality, taking the example of the second adapter structure 440 having the third guide groove 441, the user can first carry the mounting bracket 300 to the window structure 110, and then carry the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 so that the adjustment bracket 340 slides into the third guide groove 441. In this way, the mounting bracket 300 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 are carried separately, which helps reduce the difficulty of the user in completing the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. The sliding engagement of the second adapter structure 440 with the third guide groove 441 also facilitates the user to complete the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. The air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342 is configured as a second stop position 344. The space between the second stop position 344 and the connecting structure 311 is used for the sliding movement of the second adapter structure 440, and the second stop position 344 is used for the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to stop. In this way, the user can push the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 to slide the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 toward the second stopping position 344 . When the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 stops at the second stopping position 344 , the installation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 is completed.

[0090] 18 , in the second embodiment, the connecting structure 311 is provided with a fourth guide slot 316 extending along the second direction, and the mounting bracket is slidably engaged with the fourth guide slot 316 , thereby facilitating adjustment of the position of the mounting bracket in the second direction.

[0091] Considering that there is currently a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket includes a load-bearing frame with a mounting position for the air-conditioning outdoor unit, a connecting portion connected to the load-bearing frame, and an adjusting portion provided in parallel with the load-bearing frame. The adjusting portion is connected to the load-bearing frame via the connecting portion. The adjusting portion, the connecting portion, and the load-bearing frame bracket define a hanging channel for the window structure to enter. In the direction from the adjusting portion to the load-bearing frame, the connecting portion is provided with a plurality of first adjustment positions for the adjusting portion to select a screw to lock, so as to adjust the width of the hanging channel, thereby enabling the mounting bracket to be hung on window structures of various sizes. However, when using this mounting bracket, the user needs to select a first adjustment position for the adjusting portion to lock according to the width of the portion of the user's window structure for the hanging channel to be hung. The adjusting portion and the connecting portion may become detached from each other due to unstable locking by the user, thereby causing the air-conditioning outdoor unit to fall, thereby causing a safety accident.

[0092] Therefore, referring to Figures 25 to 29, and also referring to Figures 31 and 33, in one embodiment of the present application, the mounting bracket 300 is used to install the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 in the house 100 as described in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0093] The mounting bracket 300 includes a mounting structure 410 and a load-bearing frame 320. The mounting structure 410 has a mounting channel 420 for access by the window structure 110. It should be noted that the window structure 110 may be a window structure 110 installed on the pitched roof of the attic of the house 100. The window structure 110 includes a window frame 120 and a window door 130 disposed on the window frame 120. The window door 130 is used to open and close the window frame 120. The mounting structure 410 can be mounted to the window edge of the window frame 120, and the mounting channel 420 is used to access the window edge. The window structure 110 may also be a French window structure. The mounting structure 410 can be mounted to the railing 140 of the French window structure, and the mounting channel 420 is used to access the railing 140. The window structure 110 may also take other window structures to which the mounting structure 410 can be mounted, without limitation. The width of the mounting channel 420 tends to increase in the direction of attachment of the mounting structure 410. This allows the mounting channel 420 to accommodate a wide variety of widths of window sills, railings 140, and other portions of the window structure 110 to which the mounting structure 410 is attached. The portion of the window structure 110 to which the mounting structure 410 is attached is defined herein as the "attached portion." This eliminates the need for users to adjust the width of the mounting channel 420 according to the attached portion, allowing the mounting structure 410 to be readily accessible and conveniently used. This reduces the likelihood of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 falling during installation, thus reducing installation accidents.

[0094] The load-bearing frame 320 is connected to the hanging structure 410. The load-bearing frame 320 has an air-conditioning outdoor unit installation position 342 for mounting the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200. Thus, the user can complete the installation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 by installing the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 in the air-conditioning outdoor unit installation position 342 and hanging the hanging structure 410 on the window structure 110.

[0095] It's worth noting that the mounting structure 410 makes it very convenient for users to install the mounting bracket 300 on the house 100. This allows users to install the air conditioner themselves, eliminating the need to wait for an installer to come to their home. Furthermore, since users can install the air conditioner themselves, they can avoid paying installer fees. Furthermore, since the mounting bracket 300 is mounted on the house 100 via a mounting mechanism, drilling holes in the window sill or railing 140 of the window structure 110 is unnecessary, preventing damage to the window structure 110.

[0096] The mounting structure 410 can be constructed in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, the mounting channel 420 has a first side 434 and a second side 437 that are opposed to each other in the width direction of the mounting channel 420. The first side 434 includes a first sidewall 435 that connects to the load-bearing frame 320, and the second side 437 includes a second sidewall 438 that is arranged at an angle to the first sidewall 435. Thus, the first sidewall 435 and the second sidewall 438 are planar, facilitating the manufacture of the mounting structure 410. It will be appreciated that the distance between the first sidewall 435 and the second sidewall 438 in the width direction of the mounting channel 420 gradually increases in the mounting direction. However, the present design is not limited to this embodiment. In other embodiments, the first sidewall 435 and / or the second sidewall 438 are curved.

[0097] There are many structural forms of the hanging structure 410. In one embodiment, the hanging channel 420 also has a channel bottom wall 450 connecting the first side 434 and the second side 437, and the normal of the channel bottom wall 450 is arranged parallel to the hanging direction. In this way, the minimum width dimension of the hanging channel 420 is the dimension of the channel bottom wall 450 in the width direction of the hanging channel 420. It can be understood that the value of this dimension is not zero. The hung parts, such as window sills and railings 140, usually have a minimum width dimension that is not zero. In this way, the space utilization rate of the hanging channel 420 is improved. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first side 434 and the second side 437 are directly connected. For example, the first side 434 and the second side 437 are arranged at an angle, or the connection between the first side 434 and the second side 437 is a smooth transition.

[0098] In one embodiment, the second sidewall 438 is connected to the channel bottom wall 450. The first side 434 further includes a third sidewall 436, and the first sidewall 435 is connected to the channel bottom wall 450 via the third sidewall 436. In the hooking direction, the third sidewall 436 and the first sidewall 435 are arranged sequentially. In the hooking direction, the increasing distance between the third sidewall 436 and the second sidewall 438 tends to be greater than the increasing distance between the first sidewall 435 and the second sidewall 438. Thus, the first sidewall 435 transitions to the groove bottom wall via the third sidewall 436, resulting in a smoother transition between the first side 434 and the channel bottom wall 450, thereby preventing hand injuries when a user grasps the hook structure 410. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first sidewall 435 is directly connected to the channel bottom wall 450.

[0099] In one embodiment, the second side 437 further includes a fourth side wall 442 parallel to the first side wall 435. In the attachment direction, the fourth side wall 442 and the second side wall 438 are sequentially arranged, and the fourth side wall 442 is connected to the channel bottom wall 450 via the second side wall 438. If the attached portion has two parallel side surfaces in the width direction of the attached portion, and the distance between the two side supports is the same as the distance between the fourth side wall 442 and the first side wall 435, the first side wall 435 and the fourth side wall 442 will respectively abut the two side surfaces, thereby ensuring a more stable connection between the attachment structure 410 and the attached portion. In addition, if the width of the hung portion is small, when the hanging structure 410 is hung on the hung portion, if it is affected by external airflow and causes the second side 437 and the hung portion to slide relative to each other, the hanging structure 410 and the hung portion have a tendency to separate. It can be understood that the angle between the second side wall 438 and the fourth side wall 442 is an obtuse angle. When the hung portion slides to the fourth side wall 442, the fourth side wall 442 is conducive to suppressing the tendency of the hung portion to separate from the hanging structure 410, which allows the mounting bracket 300 to be more firmly connected to the hung portion.

[0100] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a rope 910. The rope 910 is arranged to pass through the first side 434 and the second side 437 in the width direction of the attachment channel 420, thereby defining a restricted space 800 with the first side 434, the second side 437, and the channel bottom wall 450. The window structure 110 includes a railing 140, and the restricted space 800 is provided for the railing 140 to pass through. In this manner, even in inclement weather, such as a storm, the attachment structure 410 is unlikely to separate from the railing 140 due to the restriction of the restricted space 800, thereby improving the safety of the mounting bracket 300. However, the present design is not limited to this embodiment. In other embodiments, the rope 910 passes through the support frame 320 and the second side 437, thereby defining the restricted space 800 together with the support frame 320 and the attachment portion. In the attachment direction, the rope 910 is located below the restricted space 800.

[0101] In one embodiment, the rope 910 has a first end for connecting to the house 100 and a second end for connecting to the first side 434. This prevents the mounting bracket 300 from falling from the house 100 due to the tension of the rope 910, thereby improving the safety of the mounting bracket 300. Furthermore, the second side 437 is provided with a retaining notch 443 for the rope 910 to pass through. This allows the rope 910 to conveniently pass through the retaining notch 443. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the rope 910 has a first end for connecting to the house 100 and a second end for connecting to the first side 434, and the second side 437 is provided with a retaining hole for the rope 910 to pass through. It is worth noting that the first end of the rope 910 can be connected to, but is not limited to, the anti-theft net of the window structure 110 or the indoor air conditioner unit in the room.

[0102] 30 , in one embodiment, the limiting notch 443 includes an inlet and outlet section 444 for the rope 910 to enter in a direction opposite to the hooking direction, a limiting section 446 for the rope 910 to enter in the hooking direction, and a connecting section 445 connecting the inlet and outlet section 444 and the limiting section 446. It is understood that if the hooking structure 410 is to be detached from the hooked portion, the hooking structure 410 needs to move in a direction opposite to the hooking direction. Since the limiting section 446 allows the rope 910 to enter in the hooking direction, the more the hooking structure 410 moves in a direction opposite to the hooking direction, the further the rope 910 enters the limiting section 446 in the hooking direction, relative to the rope 910 that has already entered the limiting section 446. In other words, the rope 910 will not be detached from the limiting section 446, which helps to improve the connection stability between the hooking structure 410 and the hooked portion. Furthermore, even if the rope 910 escapes the retaining section 446, to fully escape the retaining notch 443, the rope 910 must move from the connecting section 445 into the entry / exit section 444. This means that the rope 910 must move along the length of the attachment channel 420 to the connecting section 445, and finally, along the attachment direction to the entry / exit section 444, before it can escape the retaining notch 443. This makes it more difficult for the rope 910 to escape the retaining notch 443, which helps improve the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 300 and the attached portion. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the retaining notch 443 may have other shapes, as long as they can prevent the rope 910 from escaping the housing of the retaining notch 443.

[0103] In one embodiment, the first end of the rope 910 is connected to the house 100 via a wire lock 930. For example, the first end is connected to an air conditioner indoor unit in the house 100 or to the anti-theft net of the house 100 via the wire lock 930. In this way, the rope 910 can be more securely connected to the house 100.

[0104] In one embodiment, the second end of the cord 910 is connected to the first side 434 via a buckle 710 . The buckle 710 facilitates the user to connect the cord 910 to the first side 434 .

[0105] Referring to Figures 35 to 37 , in one embodiment, the load-bearing frame 320 includes a frame body 330 connected to the mounting structure 410, and an adjustment frame 340 connected to the frame body 330. The frame body 330 extends along the mounting direction, and the adjustment frame 340 is provided with a position 342 for mounting the outdoor air conditioner. In the mounting direction, one of the adjustment frame 340 and the frame body 330 is provided with a plurality of first adjustment positions 341 for selectively installing the other, thereby adjusting the distance between the outdoor air conditioner mounting position 342 and the mounting structure 410. Without loss of generality, the adjustment frame 340 having the first adjustment position 341 is used as an example for description. Thus, if the window structure 110 is located in an environment with high airflow intensity, the user can select the first adjustment position 341 farther from the mounting structure 410 for mounting the frame body 330, thereby reducing the distance between the outdoor air conditioner mounting position 342 and the mounting structure 410. For ease of explanation, a first unit is defined as comprising the mounting bracket 300 and the outdoor air conditioner 200. This shortens the distance between the center of gravity of the first unit and the mounting structure 410, reducing the impact of airflow on the first unit and improving the stability of the connection between the mounting structure 410 and the window structure 110. For example, if the frame body 330 has a first adjustment position 341, the user can select the first adjustment position 341 closer to the mounting structure 410 for the adjustment frame 340 installation, thereby reducing the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 and the mounting structure 410. It should be noted that the term "multiple" herein refers to at least two. Furthermore, the user can select the desired first adjustment position 341 to further the distance between the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 and the mounting structure 410, thereby moving the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position 342 away from the window frame, thereby facilitating the positioning of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 away from the window frame. This helps prevent interference between the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 and the window door, reducing the window door opening, and thereby improving the air conditioner's cooling or heating effect on the room 100.

[0106] In one embodiment, the bracket body 330 and the attachment structure 410 are integrally formed. This provides a high degree of structural strength for the bracket body 330 and the attachment structure 410. Furthermore, the user can attach the mounting bracket 300 to the window structure 110 without the need for additional tools.

[0107] In one embodiment, two adjacent first adjustment positions 341 are spaced apart as described in the above embodiment, and details thereof will not be repeated here.

[0108] In one embodiment, the adjustment frame 340 is provided with a first guide groove 345 that slides with the frame body 330 , and the first guide groove 345 extends along the hanging direction. The specific implementation details and effects have been specifically described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0109] In one embodiment, the adjustment frame 340 includes a first groove bottom plate 346 and two first groove side plates 347 provided on the first groove bottom plate 346. The first groove bottom plate 346 and the two first groove side plates 347 surround a first guide groove 345. The specific implementation details and effects thereof have been specifically described in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0110] 32 , in one embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a bolt provided at the first adjustment position 341 for passing through the bracket body 330 and the adjustment bracket 340 . The specific implementation details and effects thereof have been specifically described in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0111] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a first adapter structure 430 for connecting to the outdoor air conditioner 200. The bracket body 330 is provided with a second guide slot 331 extending in the mounting direction, into which the first adapter structure 430 slides. The first adapter structure 430 provides a user with flexibility. If the house 100 has a shelf for the outdoor air conditioner 200, the user can choose not to connect the first adapter structure 430 to the outdoor air conditioner 200 and directly move the outdoor air conditioner 200 to the shelf, thereby reducing the weight of the outdoor air conditioner 200. If the house 100 does not have a shelf for the outdoor air conditioner 200, the user can connect the outdoor air conditioner 200 to the bracket body 330 via the first adapter structure 430. The sliding engagement of the first adapter structure 430 with the second guide slot 331 also facilitates installation of the outdoor air conditioner 200. The air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342 is configured as a first stop position 343. The first adapter structure 430 can slide between the hanging structure 410 and the first stop position 343. The first stop position 343 is used for the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be stopped by the first adapter structure 430. In this way, the user can push the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to slide the first adapter structure 430 toward the first stop position 343. When the first adapter structure 430 stops at the first stop position 343, the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 is installed. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adjustment frame 340 is provided with a shelf, and the shelf is provided with the air conditioner outdoor unit installation completion position 342.

[0112] In one embodiment, the implementation details and effects of the frame body 330 and the second flange 334 have been specifically described in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0113] In one embodiment, in the attachment direction, the second guide slot 331 includes a first guide segment 335 and a second guide segment 336, arranged sequentially. The first guide segment 335 connects to the second guide segment 336, and the second flange 334 is disposed on the second guide segment 336. It is understood that users typically place the first adapter structure 430 against the connection between the attachment structure 410 and the frame body 330 for leverage to adjust the position of the first adapter structure 430, thereby facilitating smooth sliding of the first adapter structure 430 into the second guide slot 331. Because the second flange 334 is disposed on the second guide segment 336 rather than the first guide segment 335, the first adapter structure 430 is not interfered with by the second flange 334 during position adjustment, allowing the first adapter structure 430 to quickly enter the first guide segment 335. As the second guide segment 336 slides, the first adapter structure 430 gradually slides along the attachment direction, allowing it to smoothly slide into the second guide segment 336.

[0114] 34 , in the first embodiment, the first transfer structure 430 includes a sliding portion that slides with the second guide groove 331 . The sliding portion is groove-shaped and includes a third groove bottom plate 431 and two third groove side plates 432 provided on the third groove bottom plate 431 . In this way, less material is required for forming the sliding portion.

[0115] In the first embodiment, any third slot side plate 432 is provided with a third flange 433 extending toward the other third slot side plate 432. The third flange 433 abuts the second slot bottom plate 332, and the third slot bottom plate 431 abuts the second flange 334. This allows the sliding portion to slide relatively stably within the second guide slot 331. Furthermore, the provision of the third flange 433 prevents the sliding portion from injuring the hands during assembly and disassembly of the mounting bracket 300.

[0116] In one embodiment, one third slot side plate 432 is bent toward the other third slot side plate 432, and the distance between the two third slot side plates 432 decreases in the direction from the third slot bottom plate 431 to the third flap. Thus, the bent portion of the third slot side plate 432 can cooperate with the second slot side plate 333 to facilitate the entry of the first adapter structure 430 into the second guide slot 331.

[0117] In one embodiment, a second guide groove 331 is provided on the side of the frame body 330 facing away from the attachment channel 420. A transition guide groove 315 communicating with the second guide groove 331 is provided on the side of the attachment structure 410 facing away from the attachment channel 420, allowing the first adapter structure 430 to slide from the transition guide groove 315 into the second guide groove 331. This allows the transition guide groove 315 to be closer to the interior space of the house 100. Without loss of generality, a user can carry the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 and the first adapter structure 430 together. When aligning the first adapter structure 430 with the transition guide groove 315, the user can reduce the amount of forward leaning required, potentially even eliminating the need for the user to overextend their arms, thereby allowing the user to install the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 without excessive fatigue. When the first adapter structure 430 is matched with the transition guide groove 315, the window can provide supporting force for the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, which helps to reduce the burden on the user. Then, the user can push the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 to make the first adapter structure 430 slide from the transition guide groove 315 into the second guide groove 331.

[0118] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a support base 800 for contacting the housing 100. The support base 800 is provided on one side of the adjustment bracket 340 in the width direction of the attachment channel 420, and the other side faces the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. The bracket body 330 is provided with a first air hole 431, the adjustment bracket 340 is provided with a second air hole 432, and the first adapter structure 430 is provided with a third air hole 630. Along the width direction of the attachment channel 420, the first air hole 431, the second air hole 432, and the third air hole 630 collectively expose the air intake area of ​​the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. In this way, the support base 800 supports the load-bearing bracket 320, forming an air duct between the load-bearing bracket 320 and the housing 100. The air duct 600 communicates with the first air hole 431, the second air hole 432, and the third air hole, thereby ensuring a large air intake for the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. Since the first air hole 431, the second air hole 432, and the third air hole 630 are used to jointly reveal the air inlet area of ​​the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, the path from the air passage 600 to the air inlet area is less blocked, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of air intake in the air inlet area.

[0119] In one embodiment, the support base 800 and the adjustment frame 340 are integrally formed. This provides a more stable connection between the support base 800 and the adjustment frame 340. However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the support base 800 and the adjustment frame 340 are pivotally connected, with the rotation axis of the support base 800 parallel to the attachment channel 420. This allows the angle between the load-bearing frame 320 and the house 100 to be adjusted by rotating the support base 800, thereby increasing the airflow channel 600 between the mounting frame and the house 100. Without loss of generality, taking the attic of house 100 as an example, the sloping roof of the attic of house 100 is provided with a window structure 110, the connecting surface is connected to the lower window edge of the window frame 120 of the window structure 110, and the support seat 800 is provided on the outside of the sloping roof of the attic. For the same lower window edge and the outside of the sloping roof at different angles to the lower window edge, the mounting bracket 300 can be rotated relative to the adjustment frame 340 through the support seat 800 to make the air passage 600 between the load-bearing frame 320 and the outside of the sloping roof larger, so that the air intake area has a larger air intake volume.

[0120] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 300 further includes a buffer pad 720, and the support base 800 abuts against the house 100 via the buffer pad 720. In this way, damage to the house 100 caused by the mounting bracket 300 can be reduced.

[0121] In one embodiment, the cushioning pad 720 is configured as a rubber pad. This cushioning pad 720 not only reduces damage to the housing 100 caused by the mounting bracket 300 but also increases friction between the mounting bracket 300 and the housing 100, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 300 and the housing 100. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the cushioning pad 720 may also be configured as a silicone pad.

[0122] This application also provides an air conditioner, comprising an outdoor air conditioner 200 and the aforementioned mounting bracket 300. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 300 is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiments. Since this air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the aforementioned embodiments, it at least possesses all of the beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be further detailed here. The outdoor air conditioner mounting position 342 of the mounting bracket 300 is used for connection and installation with the outdoor air conditioner 200.

[0123] In the above embodiment, the air conditioner further includes an indoor unit equipped with a compressor. Thus, the compressor is located in the indoor unit rather than in the outdoor unit 200. This helps reduce the force exerted by the outdoor unit 200 on the mounting bracket 300, and thus reduces the force exerted on the connecting structure 311 or the hanging structure 410, thereby improving the connection stability between the connecting structure 311 or the hanging structure 410 and the window structure 110.

[0124] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
