[0072] Typically, when installing a window air conditioner, a wall-mounted mounting bracket is installed on the outdoor side to stably secure the outdoor unit, improve heat dissipation, and reduce noise. However, due to the proximity of the window air conditioner and the large size of the outdoor unit, the window air conditioner easily blocks a large portion of the window, obstructing the view from the room, hindering daylighting, and resulting in poor sealing at the window.
[0073] In some solutions, the overall rectangular window air conditioner is replaced with a special-shaped one—for example, with different shapes for the indoor and outdoor units—to reduce the window air conditioner's bulk and minimize its obstruction of the window. However, the corresponding mounting bracket must be adjusted to accommodate the shape of the special-shaped window air conditioner, increasing the difficulty of moving the special-shaped window air conditioner to and from the special-shaped mounting bracket. Furthermore, due to the heavy weight of the outdoor unit and the shape of the special-shaped window air conditioner, the special-shaped window air conditioner is difficult to smoothly move to and from the mounting bracket, thus increasing the difficulty of installing and removing the special-shaped window air conditioner.
[0074] To address the aforementioned issues, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air conditioning system 1. This air conditioning system 1 utilizes a mounting bracket with a lifting structure to facilitate smooth installation and removal of a special-shaped window air conditioner, while minimizing the obstruction of the window by the special-shaped window air conditioner, thereby improving the sealing performance and usability of the window air conditioner at its installation location (e.g., the installation opening).
[0075] As shown in Figures 1A and 1B, the air conditioning system 1 includes a window air conditioner 1000. The window air conditioner 1000 can be installed on a wall 3000 having a mounting opening 4000 (e.g., a window). A first portion of the window air conditioner 1000 is located indoors, and a second portion of the window air conditioner 1000 is located outdoors.
[0076] 2 , the window type air conditioner 1000 includes an indoor unit 100 (ie, a first portion of the window type air conditioner 1000 ). The indoor unit 100 is located indoors.
[0077] The indoor unit 100 includes a first heat exchanger 101 (indoor heat exchanger). The first heat exchanger 101 is configured to exchange heat between indoor air and a refrigerant transmitted through the first heat exchanger 101. For example, the first heat exchanger 101 operates as an evaporator in the cooling mode of the window air conditioner 1000 and as a condenser in the heating mode of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0078] The indoor unit 100 also includes a first fan (indoor fan). The first fan is configured to draw indoor air into the indoor unit 100 through a first air inlet and to deliver the indoor air, after heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 101, through a first air outlet of the indoor unit 100. The first fan provides power for the flow of indoor air.
[0079] The window air conditioner 1000 further includes an outdoor unit 200 (i.e., the second part of the window air conditioner 1000). The outdoor unit 200 is located outdoors. The outdoor unit 200 and the indoor unit 100 are integrated and connected by a pipeline to transmit refrigerant.
[0080] The outdoor unit 200 includes a compressor 202. Compressor 202 is configured to compress refrigerant, converting low-pressure refrigerant into high-pressure refrigerant. Compressor 202 includes an exhaust port and a return port. Low-pressure refrigerant enters compressor 202 through the return port. Compressor 202 compresses the low-pressure refrigerant into high-pressure refrigerant before discharging it through the exhaust port. This high-pressure refrigerant releases heat in the condenser. After decompression, the refrigerant absorbs heat in the evaporator. Finally, the refrigerant enters compressor 202 through the return port.
[0081] The outdoor unit 200 further includes a second heat exchanger 201 (outdoor heat exchanger). The second heat exchanger 201 is configured to exchange heat between outdoor air and the refrigerant transported through the second heat exchanger 201. For example, when the window air conditioner 1000 is in cooling mode, the second heat exchanger 201 operates as a condenser, and the exhaust port of the compressor 202 is connected to the second heat exchanger 201. When the window air conditioner 1000 is in heating mode, the second heat exchanger 201 operates as an evaporator, and the return air port of the compressor 202 is connected to the second heat exchanger 201.
[0082] The outdoor unit 200 also includes an expansion valve. This expansion valve is connected between the first heat exchanger 101 and the second heat exchanger 201. The opening of the expansion valve regulates the refrigerant pressure flowing through the first heat exchanger 101 and the second heat exchanger 201, thereby regulating the refrigerant flow between the first heat exchanger 101 and the second heat exchanger 201.
[0083] The compressor 202, the second heat exchanger 201, the expansion valve and the first heat exchanger 101 connected in sequence form a refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant circuit and exchanges heat with the air through the first heat exchanger 101 and the second heat exchanger 201 respectively, thereby realizing the cooling mode or heating mode of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0084] The outdoor unit 200 further includes a four-way valve 203. The four-way valve 203 is disposed in the refrigerant circuit and is configured to switch the flow direction of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit so that the window air conditioner 1000 performs a cooling mode or a heating mode.
[0085] The outdoor unit 200 further includes a second fan (outdoor fan). The second fan is configured to draw outdoor air into the outdoor unit 200 through the second air inlet of the outdoor unit 200 and to deliver the outdoor air, after heat exchange with the second heat exchanger 201, through the second air outlet of the outdoor unit 200. The second fan provides power for the flow of outdoor air.
[0086] In some embodiments, the window air conditioner 1000 further includes a controller 300. The controller 300 is configured to control the operation of components within the window air conditioner 1000. For example, the controller 300 controls the operating frequency of the compressor 202, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the four-way valve 203, the opening of the expansion valve, the speed of the first fan, and the speed of the second fan. The controller 300 can be coupled to the compressor 202, the expansion valve, the first fan, and the second fan via a data line to transmit communication information.
[0087] The controller 300 includes a processor. The processor may include a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (MCU), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and may be configured to perform the corresponding operations described in the controller 300 when the processor executes a program stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the controller 300.
[0088] The following describes the mounting bracket 2000 in some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1A to 1C, the air conditioning system 1 further includes a mounting bracket 2000. The mounting bracket 2000 is mounted on a wall 3000 having a mounting opening 4000 (e.g., a window), and the window air conditioner 1000 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2000. At least a portion of the mounting bracket 2000 is mounted on the mounting opening 4000.
[0090] For ease of explanation, in this disclosure, the first direction (e.g., height) refers to the up-down direction, the second direction (e.g., width) refers to the left-right direction, and the third direction (e.g., length) refers to the front-back direction. The side of the wall 3000 closer to the indoor space is the indoor side, and the side of the wall 3000 closer to the outdoor space is the outdoor side. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, the height, width, and length directions may be the height, width, and length directions of the window air conditioner 1000 or the mounting bracket 2000.
[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B , the mounting bracket 2000 includes a connecting assembly 20. The connecting assembly 20 is disposed at the mounting opening 4000 and is fixedly connected to a first side (e.g., the indoor side) of the wall 3000. For example, at least a portion of the connecting assembly 20 passes through the mounting opening 4000 and is fixedly connected to the first side of the wall 3000.
[0092] Mounting bracket 2000 also includes a lifting assembly 30. Lifting assembly 30 is disposed on and connected to connecting assembly 20. Lifting assembly 30 is located on a second side of wall 3000 (e.g., the outdoor side) and is configured to raise or lower base assembly 10 (described later). For example, a side of lifting assembly 30 that is distal to connecting assembly 20 (e.g., the upper side) can be moved away from or toward connecting assembly 20 to achieve raising or lowering of lifting assembly 30.
[0093] The mounting bracket 2000 further includes a base assembly 10. The base assembly 10 is disposed on a side of the lifting assembly 30 that is away from the connecting assembly 20. For example, the base assembly 10 is located on one side (e.g., the upper side) of the connecting assembly 20 in a first direction. The base assembly 10 is configured to support at least the outdoor unit 200 of the window air conditioner 1000. For example, the outdoor unit 200 is disposed on the base assembly 10.
[0094] In this way, the lifting assembly 30 can raise or lower the base assembly 10 , thereby facilitating installation and removal of the window air conditioner 1000 .
[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4A , the lifting assembly 30 includes a first sliding member 31 (first slider). The first sliding member 31 is disposed between the base assembly 10 and the connecting assembly 20 and is tilted relative to the base assembly 10 and the connecting assembly 20. A first end of the first sliding member 31 is fixedly connected to the base assembly 10, and a second end of the first sliding member 31 is slidably disposed with the connecting assembly 20. For example, the connecting assembly 20 supports the second end of the first sliding member 31, and the second end of the first sliding member 31 can slide on the connecting assembly 20 in a second direction.
[0096] The lifting assembly 30 also includes a second sliding member 32 (second slider). The second sliding member 32 is disposed between the base assembly 10 and the connecting assembly 20 and is tilted relative to the base assembly 10 and the connecting assembly 20. A first end of the second sliding member 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 20, and a second end of the second sliding member 32 is slidably disposed with respect to the base assembly 10. For example, the second end of the second sliding member 32 supports the base assembly 10 and can slide on the base assembly 10 in a second direction.
[0097] It should be noted that the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 may also slide along the third direction or other directions, and may be changed according to different requirements.
[0098] 4A , the first sliding member 31 includes a first connecting rod 301. The first connecting rod 301 may extend along a third direction.
[0099] The first sliding member 31 also includes two support rods 302. The two support rods 302 are parallel to each other and are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the first connecting rod 301. The first ends of the support rods 302 are fixedly connected to the base assembly 10, while the second ends of the support rods 302 are slidably disposed with the connecting assembly 20. It should be noted that the relative positions of the first connecting rod 301 and the support rods 302 can be designed according to different load requirements.
[0100] In this way, by sliding the first sliding member 31 , the height of the first sliding member 31 in the first direction can be increased or decreased, so that the base assembly 10 connected to the lifting assembly 30 can be lifted or lowered.
[0101] The structures of the second sliding member 32 and the first sliding member 31 are substantially the same and are not described again here.
[0102] By providing the first connecting rod 301 and the supporting rod 302 , the structural strength of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 can be improved, so that the mounting bracket 2000 can meet the bearing capacity required by the window air conditioner 1000 .
[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4A , the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are arranged crosswise, and one of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 is rotatably arranged relative to the other. One of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 can be arranged outside the other, for example, the first sliding member 31 is arranged outside the second sliding member 32.
[0104] In some examples, as shown in FIG4B , the first sliding member 31 further includes a third through hole 303 (connection hole). The third through hole 303 is disposed on the support rod 302 and extends through the support rod 302 along the third direction. Correspondingly, the second sliding member 32 includes a third through hole 303 disposed on the support rod 302. The third through hole 303 of the first sliding member 31 corresponds to the third through hole 303 of the second sliding member 32, so that the two third through holes 303 can be connected via the same connecting shaft.
[0105] For example, the central axis of the third through hole 303 of the first sliding member 31 coincides with the central axis of the third through hole 303 of the second sliding member 32, and the connecting shaft passes through the two third through holes 303 to rotatably connect the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32, so that the support rods 302 of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 can rotate relative to each other with the connecting shaft as the axis.
[0106] In this way, when the first slider 31 slides relative to the connecting assembly 20 and the second slider 32 slides relative to the base assembly 10, the center of the lifting assembly 30 remains unchanged, and the inclination angles of the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 increase or decrease. In this case, the height of the lifting assembly 30 can be lowered or raised, and the height of the base assembly 10 can also be lowered or raised, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the outdoor unit 200.
[0107] Here, the tilt angle can be understood as the angle between the extension direction of the support rod 302 and the plane where the base assembly 10 or the connecting assembly 20 is located.
[0108] It is understood that, since the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 have similar structures, the relative positions of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 can also be changed. For example, the first sliding member 31 can be positioned inside the second sliding member 32. The second end of the support rod 302 of the first sliding member 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 20, and the first end of the first sliding member 31 is slidably disposed with the base assembly 10; the second end of the second sliding member 32 is fixedly connected to the base assembly 10, and the first end of the second sliding member 32 is slidably disposed with the connecting assembly 20.
[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4A , the first sliding member 31 further includes a fixing portion 38 . The fixing portion 38 is disposed at the first end of the support rod 302 of the first sliding member 31 . The fixing portion 38 is fixedly connected to the base assembly 10 . In other words, the fixing portion 38 serves as the first end of the first sliding member 31 . For example, the fixing portion 38 is connected to the base assembly 10 via bolts.
[0110] The first sliding member 31 further includes a first sliding portion 39. The first sliding portion 39 is disposed at the second end of the support rod 302 of the first sliding member 31. The first sliding portion 39 is slidably disposed with respect to the connecting assembly 20. In other words, the first sliding portion 39 serves as the second end of the first sliding member 31. For example, the first sliding portion 39 includes a roller disposed at the second end of the support rod 302 of the first sliding member 31 to enable the first sliding portion 39 to slide on the connecting assembly 20.
[0111] The structure of the second sliding member 32 is similar to that of the first sliding member 31. The fixing portion 38 included in the second sliding member 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 20, and the first sliding portion 39 included in the second sliding member 32 is slidably disposed with the base assembly 10.
[0112] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3B, 5A, and 5B, the lifting assembly 30 further includes a first driving member 341. The first driving member 341 is configured to provide a driving force to the lifting assembly 30 to drive the lifting assembly 30 up and down. For example, the first driving member 341 is a handwheel, and the user provides the driving force by turning the handwheel.
[0113] It should be noted that the first driving member 341 is close to the base assembly 10. In this way, it is convenient for a user indoors to turn the hand wheel.
[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4A, 5A, and 5B, the lifting assembly 30 further includes a first transmission member 33. A first end of the first transmission member 33 is in transmission connection with the first driving member 341, and a second end of the first transmission member 33 is in transmission connection with the second sliding member 32. The first transmission member 33 is configured to rotate under the drive of the first driving member 341 to drive the second end of the second sliding member 32 to slide relative to the base assembly 10.
[0115] For example, the first transmission member 33 is a screw. When the first driving member 341 rotates, the first driving member 341 drives the first transmission member 33 to rotate, and the first transmission member 33 drives the second end of the second sliding member 32 to slide. In this case, because the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are connected by the third through hole 303, the movement of the second sliding member 32 can also drive the movement of the first sliding member 31, thereby lowering or raising the height of the base assembly 10.
[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4A, 5A, and 5B, the lifting assembly 30 further includes a second transmission member 35. The second transmission member 35 is fixedly connected to the second sliding member 32, and the second transmission member 35 is in transmission connection with the first transmission member 33. The second transmission member 35 is configured to slide in the second direction when the first transmission member 33 rotates.
[0117] For example, the second transmission member 35 is arranged perpendicular to the first transmission member 33, and both ends of the second transmission member 35 are fixedly connected to the second end of the second sliding member 32. The second transmission member 35 is provided with a fifth through-hole, the wall of which is provided with a threaded structure that mates with the first transmission member 33, allowing the first transmission member 33 to pass through the fifth through-hole. Thus, when the first driving member 341 rotates, the first transmission member 33 can rotate and apply a force to the second transmission member 35, causing the second transmission member 35 to slide in the second direction, thereby driving the second sliding member 32 to move.
[0118] The connection structure between the lifting assembly 30, the base assembly 10 and the connecting assembly 20 is described below.
[0119] 6A , the base assembly 10 includes a first body 12 . The outdoor unit 200 is disposed on a side of the first body 12 away from the lifting assembly 30 (eg, an upper side).
[0120] The base assembly 10 further includes a plurality of first mounting blocks 11. These first mounting blocks 11 are disposed on a side of the first body 12 (e.g., the lower side) adjacent to the lifting assembly 30 and are spaced apart along the second direction. The first transmission member 33 can be disposed on these first mounting blocks 11, thereby maintaining a fixed position relative to the base assembly 10.
[0121] For example, as shown in Figures 4A, 5A, and 5B, the lifting assembly 30 further includes a plurality of first mounting members 36, each of which is fixedly connected to the plurality of first mounting seats 11. The first mounting members 36 are provided with fourth through holes 37 (matching holes), and the first transmission member 33 passes through the fourth through holes 37 and is connected to the first mounting members 36.
[0122] In this way, the first transmission member 33 can be fixed to the plurality of first mounting seats 11. Since the plurality of first mounting seats 11 are fixed to the first body 12, when the first transmission member 33 receives the driving force of the first driving member 341, the position of the first transmission member 33 can remain unchanged, so that the movable second transmission member 35 moves relative to the first transmission member 33, thereby driving the second sliding member 32 to move.
[0123] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6A , the base assembly 10 further includes a second mounting base 13. The second mounting base 13 is disposed on a side of the first body 12 adjacent to the lifting assembly 30. The second mounting base 13 includes a first guide portion 131 (e.g., a first slide groove). The first sliding portion 39 of the second sliding member 32 is slidably disposed within the first guide portion 131 to slide along the first guide portion 131, thereby enabling the first sliding portion 39 to slide on the base assembly 10.
[0124] The base assembly 10 also includes a third mounting base 14. The third mounting base 14 is disposed on a side of the first body 12 proximate to the lifting assembly 30 and spaced apart from the second mounting base 13 in the second direction. The third mounting base 14 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 38 of the first slider 31. For example, the third mounting base 14 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 38 of the first slider 31 via bolts. The third mounting base 14 prevents the first slider 31 from deviating from the base assembly 10, thereby improving the reliability of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0125] 6A , the second mounting seat 13 further includes a first stopper 132 . The first stopper 132 is disposed at an end of the first guide portion 131 away from the third mounting seat 14 , and is configured to limit the sliding distance of the first sliding portion 39 .
[0126] The connection between the lifting assembly 30 and the connecting assembly 20 is similar to the connection between the lifting assembly 30 and the base assembly 10. As shown in Figure 6B, the connecting assembly 20 includes a fourth mounting seat 21. The fourth mounting seat 21 includes a second guide portion 23 (such as a second slide groove) and a second baffle 24. The structures of the fourth mounting seat 21 are similar to those of the second mounting seat 13 and will not be further described here. The connecting assembly 20 also includes a fifth mounting seat 22. The structure of the fifth mounting seat 22 is similar to that of the third mounting seat 14 and will not be further described here.
[0127] The following describes the installation and removal process of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0128] When installing the window air conditioner 1000, first secure the mounting bracket 2000 to the wall 3000, then place the window air conditioner 1000 on the portion of the connecting assembly 20 that is closest to the indoor space. At this point, the lifting assembly 30 can be adjusted so that the base assembly 10 is approximately parallel to the placement plane of the window air conditioner 1000, allowing the window air conditioner 1000 to be pushed onto the base assembly 10. Then, after the window air conditioner 1000 is pushed onto the base assembly 10 (i.e., the outdoor unit 200 is pushed onto the base assembly 10), the first driving member 341 is controlled to rotate, causing the lifting assembly 30 to slowly lower the base assembly 10 to a stop position. This stop position can be understood as the lowest position of the outdoor unit 200 when the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 are approximately parallel to each other.
[0129] In this case, at least a portion of the outdoor unit 200 is lower than the lowest point of the window. Therefore, the window air conditioner 1000 occupies a smaller area of the window, preventing obstruction of outdoor light and the view of those inside. This also improves the window's sealability in winter. Furthermore, the structure of the mounting bracket 2000 allows the window air conditioner 1000 to be raised and lowered, eliminating the need for manual handling and facilitating installation. Similarly, when removing the window air conditioner 1000, the lifting assembly 30 can be used to slowly raise the base assembly 10, allowing the window air conditioner 1000 to a position convenient for manual operation.
[0130] In addition, for an irregular window air conditioner in which the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 have a height difference, since there is a height difference between the position where the connecting component 20 contacts the mounting port 4000 and the position after the base component 10 is lowered, the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 of the window air conditioner 1000 can be placed stably on the mounting bracket 2000, thereby improving the reliability of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7A , the connection assembly 20 includes a support portion 25. The support portion 25 is configured to support the lifting assembly 30. The lifting assembly 30 is disposed on the support portion 25, and the end of the lifting assembly 30 away from the base assembly 10 is connected to the support portion 25. For example, the fourth mounting seat 21 and the fifth mounting seat 22 are disposed on the support portion 25.
[0132] The connecting assembly 20 also includes a stopper 26 (wall-mounting portion). The stopper 26 is fixedly connected to the wall 3000 to secure the connecting assembly 20 to the wall 3000. For example, the stopper 26 is fixedly connected to a first side of the wall 3000. Furthermore, in the first direction, the support portion 25 and the stopper 26 are spaced apart, with the stopper 26 located on a side of the support portion 25 that is closer to the lifting assembly 30 (e.g., the upper side).
[0133] The connecting assembly 20 further includes a connecting portion 27. The connecting portion 27 is connected between the supporting portion 25 and the limiting portion 26. For example, a first end of the connecting portion 27 is connected to the limiting portion 26, and a second end of the connecting portion 27 is connected to the supporting portion 25. At least a portion of the connecting portion 27 is bent.
[0134] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7A , the connection portion 27 includes a first sub-connection portion 271 (second connection plate) connected to the limiting portion 26 .
[0135] The connecting portion 27 further includes a second sub-connecting portion 272 (a first connecting plate) connected to the first sub-connecting portion 271 and the supporting portion 25 .
[0136] The first sub-connecting portion 271 and the second sub-connecting portion 272 are bent relative to each other. For example, the first sub-connecting portion 271 and the second sub-connecting portion 272 are arranged perpendicular to each other. This enhances the structural strength of the connecting portion 27 and improves the load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket 2000. Furthermore, when the connecting assembly 20 is installed at the mounting opening 4000, the bent connecting portion 27 can conform to the wall 3000, thereby reducing the size of the mounting bracket 2000, thereby preventing light from being blocked at the mounting opening 4000 and improving the sealing performance of the mounting opening 4000.
[0137] It should be noted that when the outdoor unit 200 is set on the base assembly 10 and the base assembly 10 is lowered to the limit position, the connecting part 27 can support the indoor unit 100 to further support the window air conditioner 1000 and improve the stability of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0138] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7A and 7B , the connection assembly 20 further includes a plurality of wall support portions 28. The plurality of wall support portions 28 are spaced apart in the second direction. A first end of each wall support portion 28 is connected to the support portion 25, and a second end of each wall support portion 28 abuts the second side of the wall 3000. The plurality of wall support portions 28 are configured to support the support portion 25, thereby increasing the structural strength of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0139] For example, the connecting assembly 20 includes two supporting wall portions 28 . The two supporting wall portions 28 are located on a side (eg, a lower side) of the supporting portion 25 away from the lifting assembly 30 to support the supporting portion 25 .
[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7A , the support wall portion 28 is bent to increase the structural strength of the support wall portion 28 and improve the bending and torsional resistance of the support wall portion 28. Furthermore, the material required for the support wall portion 28 can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost and weight of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0141] 7A and 7B , the wall supporting portion 28 includes a second body 280 . A first end of the second body 280 is connected to the supporting portion 25 , and a second end of the second body 280 abuts against a second side of the wall 3000 .
[0142] The wall support portion 28 also includes a third mounting portion 281, which is disposed at the first end of the second body 280. In this case, the support portion 25 includes a third body 251, on which the lifting assembly 30 is disposed. The support portion 25 also includes a fourth mounting portion 252, which is disposed on a side of the third body 251 facing away from the lifting assembly 30 (e.g., the lower side) and is connected to the third mounting portion 281.
[0143] In some embodiments, one of the third mounting portion 281 and the fourth mounting portion 252 can be a fourth guide portion (e.g., a fourth slide groove), and the other of the third mounting portion 281 and the fourth mounting portion 252 can be an insert plate. The third mounting portion 281 and the fourth mounting portion 252 are plugged into each other. For example, the insert plate is inserted into the fourth guide portion to achieve the connection between the wall support portion 28 and the support portion 25.
[0144] It can be understood that the position and number of the fourth mounting portions 252 correspond to the position and number of the wall supporting portions 28 .
[0145] 7A and 7B , the wall supporting portion 28 further includes a fifth mounting portion 282 . The fifth mounting portion 282 is disposed at the first end of the second body 280 .
[0146] In this case, the support portion 25 further includes a plurality of sixth mounting portions 253 , which are spaced apart along the third direction on the fourth mounting portion 252 . The fifth mounting portion 282 is connected to any one of the plurality of sixth mounting portions 253 .
[0147] For example, the fifth mounting portion 282 is provided on at least one of the two sides in the second direction of the first end of the second body 280. Alternatively, the fifth mounting portion 282 is provided on one side (e.g., the upper side) of the first end of the second body 280 close to the support portion 25 so that the fifth mounting portion 282 is connected to the sixth mounting portion 253.
[0148] In some embodiments, one of the fifth mounting portion 282 and the sixth mounting portion 253 can be a mounting column, and the other of the fifth mounting portion 282 and the sixth mounting portion 253 can be a mounting hole, and the mounting column is inserted into the mounting hole to achieve a fixed connection between the wall support portion 28 and the support portion 25.
[0149] For example, the fourth mounting portion 252 is a fourth guide portion, and baffles are provided on both sides of the fourth guide portion. Multiple mounting holes (i.e., multiple sixth mounting portions 253) are provided on the baffles, and the mounting column (i.e., the fifth mounting portion 282) can be plugged into any mounting hole to fix the wall support portion 28 to the support portion 25.
[0150] In some embodiments, the support portion 25 and the wall support portion 28 can be formed as a single piece. This improves the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 2000, enhances its bending and torsional resistance, and enhances the reliability and durability of the mounting bracket 2000. Furthermore, this improves production efficiency, reduces production costs, and saves assembly time.
[0151] The above description is based on the manual driving of the lifting assembly 30. Of course, the lifting assembly 30 can also be driven by electrical control.
[0152] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8A to 8C, the window air conditioner 1000 includes a second drive member 342 (drive unit). The second drive member 342 is configured to provide driving force. For example, the window air conditioner 1000 includes a motor, and the second drive member 342 is a gear that is in transmission connection with the motor so that the motor can drive the gear to rotate, thereby achieving electronically controlled drive. The second drive member 342 can be located on a side of the window air conditioner 1000 body facing the base assembly 10 (e.g., the lower side).
[0153] In this case, as shown in Figures 9A and 9B , in addition to the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32, the lifting assembly 30 further includes a first transmission member 33. A first end of the first transmission member 33 is in transmission connection with the second driving member 342, and a second end of the first transmission member 33 is in transmission connection with the second sliding member 32. The first transmission member 33 is configured to rotate under the drive of the second driving member 342 to drive the second end of the second sliding member 32 to slide relative to the base assembly 10. Thus, when the second driving member 342 rotates, it can drive the first transmission member 33 to rotate, causing the second end of the second sliding member 32 to slide relative to the base assembly 10.
[0154] For example, as shown in Figures 9A and 9B , the first transmission member 33 includes a gear portion 331. The gear portion 331 is in transmission connection with the second driving member 342. For example, when the window air conditioner 1000 is pushed into the base assembly 10, the second driving member 342 engages with the gear portion 331.
[0155] The first transmission member 33 further includes a screw rod portion 332. A first end of the screw rod portion 332 is connected to the gear portion 331, and a second end of the screw rod portion 332 is in transmission connection with the second sliding member 32. The screw rod portion 332 is provided with a thread.
[0156] In this way, the user can control the second driving member 342 in the window air conditioner 1000 to rotate by electrical control indoors to drive the gear part 331 to rotate, and the gear part 331 drives the screw part 332 to rotate to move the second sliding member 32, so that the lifting assembly 30 drives the base assembly 10 to slowly descend or rise.
[0157] Therefore, by electrically controlling the lifting assembly 30 to drive the base assembly 10 to rise or fall, the convenience of installing and disassembling the window air conditioner 1000 can be further improved.
[0158] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 9A and 9B, when a combination of the second driving member 342 and the first transmission member 33 is used, the connecting assembly 20 further includes a second transmission member 35. The relevant content of the second transmission member 35 is similar to that of the above description and will not be repeated here. It is understood that the screw portion 332 is in transmission connection with the second transmission member 35.
[0159] 10 , the base assembly 10 includes a first body 12 . The outdoor unit 200 is disposed on a side of the first body 12 away from the lifting assembly 30 (eg, an upper side).
[0160] The base assembly 10 further includes a first through-hole 17. The first through-hole 17 is disposed in the first body 12 near one end of the first body 12 in the second direction. At least a portion of the gear portion 331 passes through the first through-hole 17 to provide a transmission connection with the second drive member 342. Thus, the first through-hole 17 provides space for a transmission connection between the second drive member 342 and the gear portion 331.
[0161] As shown in Figures 8A and 8C, the base assembly 10 also includes a first flange 18. The first flange 18 is disposed on an edge of the first body 12 and extends in a direction away from the lifting assembly 30. The first flange 18 can be located at the edge of the first body 12 in the third direction, and the window air conditioner 1000 abuts against the first flange 18, so that the first flange 18 can limit and position the window air conditioner 1000 in the third direction. In this way, when the window air conditioner 1000 abuts against the first flange 18, the second driving member 342 can be transmission-connected with the gear portion 331 passing through the first through hole 17. In addition, the window air conditioner 1000 can be prevented from being pushed outside the mounting bracket 2000, causing damage to the window air conditioner 1000.
[0162] Of course, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8A, the first flange 18 can also be located at the edge of the first body 12 in the second direction to limit the position of the window air conditioner 1000 in the second direction, further preventing the window air conditioner 1000 from being pushed out of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0163] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10 , the base assembly 10 further includes a plurality of first mounting seats 11. The plurality of first mounting seats 11 are disposed on a side of the first body 12 (e.g., the lower side) adjacent to the lifting assembly 30 and spaced apart along the second direction. The first transmission member 33 is disposed on the plurality of first mounting seats 11, thereby maintaining a fixed position relative to the base assembly 10.
[0164] For example, the first mounting base 11 includes a mounting plate 15. The first mounting base 11 also includes a second through hole 16. The second through hole 16 is provided on the mounting plate 15 and penetrates the mounting plate 15 along the second direction. The first transmission member 33 passes through the second through hole 16 and is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 15.
[0165] In this way, the first transmission member 33 can be fixed to the plurality of first mounting seats 11. Since the plurality of first mounting seats 11 are fixed to the first body 12, when the first transmission member 33 receives the driving force of the second driving member 342, the position of the first transmission member 33 can remain unchanged, so that the movable second transmission member 35 moves relative to the first transmission member 33, thereby driving the second sliding member 32 to move.
[0166] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 8A to 11B , the structure of the electrically controlled lift assembly 30 and the connection between the lift assembly 30, the base assembly 10, and the connecting assembly 20 are similar to those described above and will not be further described here. Furthermore, the structure of the connecting assembly 20 and the installation and removal procedures for the window air conditioner 1000 are similar to those described above and will not be further described here.
[0167] The above description uses the example of electrically driving the lifting assembly 30. Of course, the lifting assembly 30 can also be driven by a damping force.
[0168] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B , in addition to the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 , the lifting assembly 30 further includes a damping member 34 .
[0169] A first end of the damping member 34 is connected to the connecting assembly 20, and a second end of the damping member 34 is connected to the base assembly 10. The damping member 34 is configured to provide a damping force to the base assembly 10 so that when the damping member 34 is in an initial state, a surface of the base assembly 10 that is away from the lifting assembly 30 (e.g., the upper surface) and at least a portion of a surface of the connecting assembly 20 in the first direction (e.g., the upper surface of the first sub-connecting portion 271) are at the same height. The damping member 34 may be an elastic member.
[0170] When the damping member 34 is subjected to zero load (for example, the window air conditioner 1000 is not set on the base assembly 10), the damping member 34 is in an initial state, and the damping force provided by the damping member 34 to the base assembly 10 is greater than the external force corresponding to the load, so that the lifting assembly 30 is raised, so that the upper surface of the base assembly 10 can be coplanar with at least part of the upper surface of the connecting assembly 20, so as to push the window air conditioner 1000 from the connecting assembly 20 to the base assembly 10.
[0171] When the damping member 34 is subjected to a load (for example, the outdoor unit 200 is disposed on the base assembly 10 ), if the external force corresponding to the load is greater than the damping force, the base assembly 10 slowly descends to the limit position.
[0172] In this way, the damping force provided by the damping member 34 can improve the convenience of installing and disassembling the window type air conditioner 1000.
[0173] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 30 may include multiple damping members 34 to increase the damping force of the lifting assembly 30. The following description takes as an example an example where the lifting assembly 30 includes two damping members 34, and the two damping members 34 are respectively located on both sides of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 in the third direction.
[0174] 13A , the damping member 34 includes a cylinder 343. The cylinder 343 is connected to the base assembly 10, and the interior of the cylinder 343 is hollow to form a cavity.
[0175] The damping member 34 further includes a piston rod 344 . A first end of the piston rod 344 is connected to the connecting assembly 20 , and a second end of the piston rod 344 extends into the cylinder 343 and is slidably disposed in the cavity, thereby providing a damping force to the base assembly 10 .
[0176] When the window air conditioner 1000 is placed on the base assembly 10, the piston rod 344 slides within the cavity toward the base assembly 10 under the weight of the window air conditioner 1000, causing the base assembly 10 to slowly descend. After the window air conditioner 1000 leaves the base assembly 10, the damping member 34 is subjected to zero load, and the piston rod 344 slides within the cavity away from the base assembly 10, causing the base assembly 10 to slowly ascend.
[0177] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the cylinder body 343 is larger than the outer diameter of the piston rod 344 , so as to form a cavity inside the cylinder body 343 to accommodate the piston rod 344 .
[0178] 13A , the damping member 34 further includes a second mounting member 345 (a first mounting plate) that is rotatably connected to the first end of the piston rod 344 .
[0179] In this case, as shown in FIG14A , the connecting assembly 20 further includes a fourth mounting member 29. The fourth mounting member 29 is disposed on the support portion 25. For example, the fourth mounting member 29 is disposed on one side of the fourth mounting seat 21 in the third direction. The second mounting member 345 is fixedly connected to the fourth mounting member 29. In this manner, the first end of the piston rod 344 can be connected to the connecting assembly 20 via the second mounting member 345, and the piston rod 344 can rotate relative to the second mounting member 345. This allows the direction of the damping force provided by the damping member 34 to change accordingly when the lifting assembly 30 ascends or descends.
[0180] For example, the fourth mounting member 29 and the second mounting member 345 are each provided with a sixth through hole that cooperates with each other. A fastener (e.g., a bolt) can pass through the sixth through holes of the fourth mounting member 29 and the second mounting member 345 to connect the fourth mounting member 29 and the second mounting member 345, thereby connecting the piston rod 344 to the connecting assembly 20.
[0181] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 20 may include a plurality of fourth mounting members 29 to match the number of the plurality of damping members 34. In this way, the balance and stability of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 during movement can be improved.
[0182] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG13A , the damping member 34 further includes a third mounting member 346 (second mounting plate) that is rotatably connected to an end of the cylinder 343 that is adjacent to the base assembly 10 .
[0183] In this case, as shown in FIG14B , the base assembly 10 further includes a fifth mounting member 19. The fifth mounting member 19 is disposed on the first body 12. For example, the fifth mounting member 19 is disposed on an edge of the first body 12 in the third direction. The third mounting member 346 and the fifth mounting member 19 are fixedly connected. Thus, the end of the cylinder 343 proximal to the base assembly 10 can be connected to the base assembly 10 via the third mounting member 346. The cylinder 343 can rotate relative to the third mounting member 346, thereby changing the direction of the damping force provided by the damping member 34 as the lifting assembly 30 ascends or descends.
[0184] For example, the fifth mounting member 19 and the third mounting member 346 each have a seventh through hole that cooperates with each other. A fastener (e.g., a bolt) can pass through the seventh through holes of the fifth mounting member 19 and the third mounting member 346 to securely connect the fifth mounting member 19 and the third mounting member 346, thereby connecting the cylinder body 343 to the connecting assembly 20.
[0185] In some embodiments, the base assembly 10 may include a plurality of fifth mounting members 19 to match the number of the plurality of damping members 34. In this way, the balance and stability of the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 during movement can be improved.
[0186] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 12A to 15B , the structure of the lift assembly 30 including the damping member 34, as well as the connection method between the lift assembly 30, the base assembly 10, and the connecting assembly 20, are similar to those described above and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the structure of the connecting assembly 20 and the installation and removal procedures for the window air conditioner 1000 are similar to those described above and will not be repeated here.
[0187] The connection assembly 20 described above may also be a connection assembly 20 with adjustable size to accommodate installation openings 4000 of different sizes.
[0188] The following describes a size-adjustable connection assembly 20 in some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0189] 16A and 16B , the connection assembly 20 includes a connection portion 27 . The connection portion 27 is configured to support the window air conditioner 1000 .
[0190] The connecting portion 27 includes a first sub-connecting portion 271 . The first sub-connecting portion 271 extends along the third direction. A first end of the first sub-connecting portion 271 is connected to the limiting portion 26 . The first sub-connecting portion 271 is disposed in the mounting opening 4000 .
[0191] The connection portion 27 further includes a second sub-connection portion 272. The second sub-connection portion 272 is connected to the first sub-connection portion 271 and is at least partially located outside the room.
[0192] 17A to 17C , the second sub-connection portion 272 includes a first segment 2721. The first segment 2721 is disposed at the mounting opening 4000. The first segment 2721 extends along the third direction and is connected to the second end of the first sub-connection portion 271 in the third direction.
[0193] The second sub-connecting portion 272 further includes a second section 2722 . The second section 2722 is connected to the first section 2721 and extends substantially along the first direction. The second section 2722 abuts against the edge of the installation opening 4000 .
[0194] The second sub-connecting portion 272 also includes a third segment 2723. The first segment 2721, the second segment 2722, and the third segment 2723 are sequentially connected. The third segment 2723 extends along the third direction and is located to one side (e.g., the lower side) of the first segment 2721 in the first direction. In this case, the support portion 25 can be a portion of the connecting portion 27 (e.g., the support portion 25 is at least a portion of the third segment 2723).
[0195] 17A to 17C , the first sub-connecting portion 271 is sleeved on the first section 2721. The first portion of the first section 2721 is slidably disposed within the first sub-connecting portion 271, and the second portion of the first section 2721 is exposed, so that the length of the second portion of the first sub-connecting portion 271 is adjustable.
[0196] For example, the first section 2721 is inserted into the second end of the first sub-connection portion 271. The first sub-connection portion 271 is larger than the first section 2721, so that the first sub-connection portion 271 can be sleeved outside the first section 2721 and the first sub-connection portion 271 and the first section 2721 are fixedly connected.
[0197] In this way, the first portion of the first section 2721 can be disposed within the first sub-connecting portion 271, while the second portion of the first section 2721 can be exposed. By adjusting the ratio of the first and second portions of the first section 2721, the dimension of the connecting portion 27 in the third direction can be adjusted, thereby accommodating mounting openings 4000 of varying depths and improving the applicability of the mounting bracket 2000. Here, the depth of the mounting opening 4000 can be understood as the dimension of the mounting opening 4000 in the third direction.
[0198] 17C , the connection portion 27 further includes a plurality of first limiting holes 273. The plurality of first limiting holes 273 are disposed at the second end of the first sub-connection portion 271 and are spaced apart along the third direction.
[0199] The connecting portion 27 further includes a second limiting hole 274 . The second limiting hole 274 is provided at the first end of the first section 2721 .
[0200] In this case, the connecting portion 27 further includes a first limiting member 275. The first limiting member 275 passes through the second limiting hole 274 and any one of the first limiting holes 273 to connect the second sub-connecting portion 272 to the first sub-connecting portion 271.
[0201] For example, the second limiting hole 274 has the same diameter as the plurality of first limiting holes 273. When the second sub-connecting portion 272 is inserted into the first sub-connecting portion 271, the second limiting hole 274 can overlap with any of the first limiting holes 273. The first limiting member 275 can be a latch or a bolt, and is inserted into the overlapping second limiting hole 274 and first limiting hole 273 to connect the second sub-connecting portion 272 to the first sub-connecting portion 271.
[0202] In this way, the size of the second portion of the first section 2721 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the wall 3000, so that the second limiting hole 274 overlaps with different first limiting holes 273. Then, the first limiting member 275 passes through the first limiting hole 273 and the second limiting hole 274, connecting the second sub-connecting portion 272 to the first sub-connecting portion 271. This allows the length of the connecting portion 27 to be adjusted to accommodate installation openings 4000 of different depths.
[0203] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17A to 17C , the mounting bracket 2000 further includes a stopper 26. The stopper 26 is connected to the first end of the first sub-connecting portion 271 in the third direction, and the stopper 26 is fixedly connected to the wall 3000 to secure the connecting assembly 20 to the wall 3000. For example, the stopper 26 abuts against a first side of the wall 3000.
[0204] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 18A and 18B, the limiting portion 26 includes a first rod 261. The first rod 261 extends along the second direction and is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 27. For example, the first rod 261 is fixedly connected to the first end of the first sub-connecting portion 271, so that the first rod 261 and the connecting portion 27 are perpendicularly connected. In this way, the limiting portion 26 can be connected to the connecting portion 27 as a whole to limit and support the window air conditioner 1000.
[0205] The limiting portion 26 also includes two second rods 262. The second rods 262 are configured to abut against the first side of the wall 3000. The two second rods 262 extend in the second direction and are respectively disposed on either side of the first rod 261 in the second direction. The first rod 261 is sleeved around the two second rods 262. For example, the two second rods 262 are respectively inserted into either side of the first rod 261 in the second direction. The first rod 261 is larger than the second rod 262, allowing the first rod 261 to sleeve around the outside of the second rod 262.
[0206] It is understandable that a second rod 262 can also realize the fixed connection between the limiting portion 26 and the wall 3000, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing costs.
[0207] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B , the length of the portion of the second rod 262 exposed from the first rod 261 is adjustable so that the second rod 262 can be pressed against the first side of the wall 3000 .
[0208] For example, the first portion of the second rod 262 is slidably disposed within the first rod 261, while the second portion of the second rod 262 is exposed. By adjusting the ratio of the first portion to the second portion, the length of the stopper 26 can be adjusted so that the second rod 262 abuts against the first side of the wall 3000, thereby adapting to installation openings 4000 of varying widths and improving the applicability of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0209] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the length of the stopper 26 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the second portion of the second rod 262 to accommodate installation openings 4000 of varying widths, allowing the indoor end of the mounting bracket 2000 to be secured indoors. The length of the connecting portion 27 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the second portion of the first section 2721 to accommodate installation openings 4000 of varying depths, thereby improving the adaptability of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0210] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG18A , the limiting portion 26 further includes a plurality of fourth limiting holes 2611. The plurality of fourth limiting holes 2611 are disposed at both ends of the first rod 261 in the second direction. The two or more fourth limiting holes 2611 located at one end of the first rod 261 may be spaced apart along the second direction.
[0211] The limiting portion 26 further includes a fifth limiting hole 2621 . The fifth limiting hole 2621 is provided at one end of any second rod 262 close to the first rod 261 .
[0212] In this case, the limiting portion 26 further includes a second limiting member 263. The second limiting member 263 passes through the fifth limiting hole 2621 and any one of the fourth limiting holes 2611 to connect the second rod 262 to the first rod 261.
[0213] For example, the fifth limiting hole 2621 has the same diameter as the plurality of fourth limiting holes 2611. When the second rod 262 is inserted into the first rod 261, the fifth limiting hole 2621 can overlap with any of the fourth limiting holes 2611. The second limiting member 263 can be a latch or a bolt, and is inserted into the overlapping fifth limiting hole 2621 and fourth limiting hole 2611 to connect the second rod 262 to the first rod 261.
[0214] In this way, the length of the second portion of the second rod 262 can be adjusted according to the width of the mounting opening 4000, so that the fifth limiting hole 2621 coincides with a different fourth limiting hole 2611. Then, the second limiting member 263 is passed through the fourth limiting hole 2611 and the fifth limiting hole 2621, thereby securely connecting the second rod 262 to the first rod 261. This allows the limiting portion 26 to be larger than the width of the mounting opening 4000, allowing the limiting portion 26 to accommodate mounting openings 4000 of varying widths, thereby securing the indoor end of the mounting bracket 2000.
[0215] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17C and 18C , the connecting portion 27 further includes a third flange 276 (mounting flange). The third flange 276 is disposed at the first end of the first sub-connecting portion 271 (i.e., the end of the first sub-connecting portion 271 facing the first rod 261). The third flange 276 can be integral with the first sub-connecting portion 271 to enhance the structural strength of the connecting portion 27.
[0216] The connecting portion 27 further includes a first mounting portion 277 . The first mounting portion 277 is disposed on the third flange 276 .
[0217] In this case, as shown in FIG18A , the position-limiting portion 26 further includes a second mounting portion 264. The second mounting portion 264 is disposed on a side (e.g., the upper surface) of the first rod 261 near the third flange 276 and near one end of the first rod 261 in the second direction. The first mounting portion 277 and the second mounting portion 264 are fixedly connected to each other, thereby fixing the third flange 276 to the first rod 261, and thereby fixing the position-limiting portion 26 to the first sub-connecting portion 271.
[0218] For example, when the connection assembly 20 includes two connection portions 27, the limiting portion 26 includes two second mounting portions 264. The two second mounting portions 264 are spaced apart along the second direction on the first rod 261. One first mounting portion 277 corresponds to and is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 264 of one connection portion 27, and the other first mounting portion 277 corresponds to and is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 264 of the other connection portion 27.
[0219] 17A and 17B , the connection assembly 20 further includes a wall support portion 28 . A first end of the wall support portion 28 is connected to the second sub-connection portion 272 , and a second end of the wall support portion 28 abuts against the second side of the wall 3000 .
[0220] For example, the connecting portion 27 further includes a plurality of third limiting holes 278. The plurality of third limiting holes 278 are disposed in the third section 2723 and are spaced apart along the third direction. A first end of the wall support portion 28 is connected to one of the plurality of third limiting holes 278. A second end of the wall support portion 28 can abut against the second side of the wall 3000.
[0221] By connecting the first end of the wall supporting portion 28 to different third limiting holes 278 , the connection position of the wall supporting portion 28 and the third section 2723 can be adjusted to match walls 3000 of different thicknesses, thereby improving the applicability of the mounting bracket 2000 .
[0222] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 20 may include two supporting wall portions 28. The two supporting wall portions 28 are spaced apart in the second direction. In this way, the supporting force and stability of the mounting bracket 2000 can be improved.
[0223] 17A and 17B , the wall supporting portion 28 includes a second body 280 . A first end of the second body 280 is connected to the second sub-connection portion 272 , and a second end of the second body 280 abuts against a second side of the wall 3000 .
[0224] As shown in FIG18B , the wall support portion 28 further includes a sixth limiting hole 283 . The sixth limiting hole 283 is provided at the first end of the second body 280 . The sixth limiting hole 283 can cooperate with any one of the third limiting holes 278 .
[0225] For example, the sixth limiting hole 283 and the plurality of third limiting holes 278 have the same diameter. The sixth limiting hole 283 may overlap with different third limiting holes 278. Fasteners (such as bolts or latches) may pass through the overlapping sixth limiting holes 283 and third limiting holes 278 to securely connect the wall support portion 28 to the second sub-connecting portion 272.
[0226] In this way, the first end of the wall supporting portion 28 can be fixedly connected to different positions of the third section 2723 to match the wall 3000 of different thicknesses.
[0227] 17C , when the connection assembly 20 includes a plurality of connection portions 27 spaced apart along the second direction, the connection assembly 20 further includes a second connection rod 41 . The second connection rod 41 connects two adjacent connection portions 27 .
[0228] For example, the connecting assembly 20 includes two connecting portions 27 spaced apart in the second direction. The ends of the second connecting rod 41 are fixedly connected to the second ends of the two connecting portions 27 (i.e., the ends of the third section 2723 distal from the second section 2722). Thus, the second connecting rod 41 is connected between the two connecting portions 27. The two connecting portions 27, along with the second connecting rod 41 and the stopper 26, form a single unit to support the window air conditioner 1000.
[0229] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17C and FIG. 19 , the lifting assembly 30 is connected to the connecting portion 27 with a portion of the connecting portion 27 (eg, at least a portion of the third section 2723 ) serving as the supporting portion 25 .
[0230] As shown in FIG19 , the lifting assembly 30 includes a movable rod 42. The movable rod 42 is configured to tilt relative to the support portion 25 to lift the window air conditioner 1000, and to be parallel to the support portion 25 to lower the window air conditioner 1000. The movable rod 42 is disposed on one side of the connecting portion 27 in the second direction. A first end of the movable rod 42 is rotatably disposed relative to the connecting portion 27, and a second end of the movable rod 42 is slidably connected to the connecting portion 27. In this manner, the first end of the movable rod 42 can be raised or lowered relative to the connecting portion 27.
[0231] For example, the lifting assembly 30 is disposed on one side of the third section 2723 in the second direction. The lifting assembly 30 may be tilted relative to the third section 2723, or the lifting assembly 30 may be parallel to the third section 2723.
[0232] It should be noted that in the first direction, when the lifting assembly 30 is tilted, the end of the lifting assembly 30 near the stopper 26 (i.e., the first end of the movable rod 42) is higher in the first direction than the end of the lifting assembly 30 away from the stopper 26 (i.e., the second end of the movable rod 42). This facilitates the smooth pushing of the window air conditioner 1000 located on the first sub-connecting portion 271 toward the lifting assembly 30. In this case, the base assembly 10 is the surface of the movable rod 42 near the window air conditioner 1000 (e.g., the upper surface).
[0233] During installation of the window air conditioner 1000, the lifting assembly 30 is first tilted relative to the connection portion 27, and the window air conditioner 1000 is pushed from the first sub-connection portion 271 onto the tilted lifting assembly 30. When the lifting assembly 30 transitions from tilting relative to the connection portion 27 to being parallel to the connection portion 27, the window air conditioner 1000 can be stably installed on the mounting bracket 2000 (e.g., the indoor unit 100 is mounted on the first sub-connection portion 271, and the outdoor unit 200 is mounted on the second sub-connection portion 272).
[0234] In some embodiments, lift assembly 30 includes a first position and a second position.
[0235] When the lifting assembly 30 is in the first position, it is tilted relative to the third section 2723. In this position, the highest point of the movable rod 42 is lower than the highest point of the connecting portion 27. For example, in the first direction, the first end of the movable rod 42, which is adjacent to the first sub-connecting portion 271, is lower than the first sub-connecting portion 271. This allows the window air conditioner 1000 to be placed on the mounting bracket 2000 at an angle. In this case, the movable rod 42 can support the window air conditioner 1000.
[0236] When the lifting assembly 30 is at the second position, the lifting assembly 30 is parallel to the third section 2723 .
[0237] For example, when the lifting assembly 30 switches from the second position to the first position, the first end of the movable rod 42 is lifted relative to the third section 2723, and the second end of the movable rod 42 slides toward the indoor side relative to the third section 2723. During this process, the height of the second end of the movable rod 42 remains unchanged, allowing the lifting assembly 30 to tilt relative to the third section 2723.
[0238] When the lifting assembly 30 switches from the first position to the second position, the first end of the movable rod 42 descends relative to the third section 2723, while the second end of the movable rod 42 slides relative to the third section 2723 toward the outside of the room. During this process, the height of the second end of the movable rod 42 remains unchanged, allowing the lifting assembly 30 to remain parallel to the connecting portion 27. This allows the window air conditioner 1000, placed on the lifting assembly 30, to transition from an inclined position to a horizontal position, completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0239] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG19 , the lifting assembly 30 further includes a second sliding portion 43 . The second sliding portion 43 is disposed at the second end of the movable rod 42 .
[0240] In this case, the connecting portion 27 further includes a third guide portion 279 (eg, a third sliding groove). The third guide portion 279 is disposed in the third section 2723 , and the second sliding portion 43 is slidably connected to the third guide portion 279 .
[0241] For example, the second sliding portion 43 slides within the third guide portion 279 to coordinate with the raising or lowering of the first end of the movable rod 42. When the first end of the movable rod 42 is raised, the second sliding portion 43 slides within the third guide portion 279 toward the indoor side, tilting the movable rod 42 relative to the third section 2723, thereby allowing the window air conditioner 1000 to be placed on the movable rod 42. When the first end of the movable rod 42 is lowered, the second sliding portion 43 slides within the third guide portion 279 toward the outdoor side, aligning the movable rod 42 with the third section 2723, thereby completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.
[0242] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 19, the lifting assembly 30 further includes a second flange 44. The second flange 44 is configured to limit the window air conditioner 1000. The second flange 44 is disposed on one side (e.g., the upper side) of the second end of the movable rod 42 in the first direction. The second flange 44 extends in the first direction to protrude beyond the movable rod 42, thereby forming a limiting step between the movable rod 42 and the second flange 44. In this way, the window air conditioner 1000 can abut against the second flange 44, and the second flange 44 can limit the window air conditioner 1000 to prevent the window air conditioner 1000 from sliding out of the lifting assembly 30.
