[0043] 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.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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).

[0046] 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.

[0047] 1A and 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.

[0048] The indoor unit 100 includes a first housing 101. The first housing 101 includes a first air inlet. The first housing 101 also includes a first air outlet. The first air outlet faces the indoor space, so that indoor air entering the first housing 101 through the first air inlet can flow into the indoor space through the first air outlet after heat exchange.

[0049] The indoor unit 100 further includes a first heat exchanger 102 (indoor heat exchanger). The first heat exchanger 102 is disposed within the first housing 101 and is configured to exchange heat between indoor air and a refrigerant transported through the first heat exchanger 102. For example, the first heat exchanger 102 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.

[0050] The indoor unit 100 also includes a first fan (indoor fan). The first fan is disposed within the first housing 101 and is configured to draw indoor air into the indoor unit 100 through the first air inlet and to deliver the indoor air, after heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 102, through the first air outlet of the indoor unit 100. The first fan provides power for the flow of indoor air.

[0051] 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.

[0052] The outdoor unit 200 includes a second housing 201. The second housing 201 is connected to the first housing 101, and the second housing 201 and the first housing 101 may be integral. The second housing 201 includes a second air inlet. The second housing 201 also includes a second air outlet. The second air outlet faces the outside, so that outdoor air entering the second housing 201 through the second air inlet can flow outdoors through the second air outlet after undergoing heat exchange.

[0053] The outdoor unit 200 also includes a compressor 203. The compressor 203 is disposed within the second housing 201 and is configured to compress the refrigerant, thereby compressing the low-pressure refrigerant into high-pressure refrigerant. The compressor 203 includes an exhaust port and a return port. Low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor 203 through the return port. The compressor 203 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. Then, after being decompressed, the refrigerant absorbs heat in the evaporator. Finally, the refrigerant enters the compressor 203 through the return port.

[0054] The outdoor unit 200 also includes a second heat exchanger 202 (outdoor heat exchanger). The second heat exchanger 202 is disposed within the second housing 201 and is configured to exchange heat between outdoor air and the refrigerant transported through the second heat exchanger 202. For example, when the window air conditioner 1000 is in cooling mode, the second heat exchanger 202 operates as a condenser, with the exhaust port of the compressor 203 communicating with the second heat exchanger 202. When the window air conditioner 1000 is in heating mode, the second heat exchanger 202 operates as an evaporator, with the return air port of the compressor 203 communicating with the second heat exchanger 202.

[0055] The outdoor unit 200 also includes an expansion valve (pressure reducer). The expansion valve is connected between the first heat exchanger 102 and the second heat exchanger 202. The opening of the expansion valve adjusts the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger 102 and the second heat exchanger 202, thereby adjusting the refrigerant flow rate between the first heat exchanger 102 and the second heat exchanger 202.

[0056] The sequentially connected compressor 203, second heat exchanger 202, expansion valve, and first heat exchanger 102 form a refrigerant circuit, in which the refrigerant circulates. The first heat exchanger 102 and the second heat exchanger 202 exchange heat with the indoor air and the outdoor air, respectively, enabling the window air conditioner 1000 to operate in either cooling or heating mode.

[0057] The outdoor unit 200 further includes a four-way valve 204. The four-way valve 204 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.

[0058] The outdoor unit 200 also includes a second fan (outdoor fan). The second fan is disposed within the second housing 201 and 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 202, through the second air outlet of the outdoor unit 200. The second fan provides power for the flow of outdoor air.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1A and FIG1B , in a first direction (e.g., up and down), the size of the indoor unit 100 is smaller than that of the outdoor unit 200, thereby forming a step between the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200. In this way, the volume of the window air conditioner 1000 can be reduced, thereby reducing the obstruction of the window by the window air conditioner 1000.

[0060] 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 203, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the four-way valve 204, 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 203, the expansion valve, the first fan, and the second fan via a data line to transmit communication information.

[0061] 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.

[0062] The following describes the mounting bracket 2000 in some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1A and 1B, the air conditioning system 1 further includes a mounting bracket 2000. The mounting bracket 2000 is disposed on a wall 3000 having a mounting opening 4000 (e.g., a window), and the window air conditioner 1000 is disposed on the mounting bracket 2000. At least a portion of the mounting bracket 2000 is disposed in the mounting opening 4000.

[0064] 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 of the window air conditioner 1000 or the mounting bracket 2000, respectively.

[0065] 3A to 3C , the mounting bracket 2000 includes a connection assembly 10 (base assembly) disposed in the mounting opening 4000 , and at least a portion of the connection assembly 10 passes through the mounting opening 4000 and is fixedly connected to the first side of the wall 3000 .

[0066] For example, in the third direction, the first end (e.g., the front end) of the connecting assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the first side of the wall 3000, and the second end (e.g., the rear end) of the connecting assembly 10 supports the window air conditioner 1000. In the first direction, the third side (e.g., the upper side) of the connecting assembly 10 supports the window air conditioner 1000, and the fourth side (e.g., the lower side) of the connecting assembly 10 is connected to the wall 3000. In this way, the window air conditioner 1000 can be fixed to the wall 3000 via the connecting assembly 10, completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0067] The mounting bracket 2000 further includes a lifting assembly 20. The lifting assembly 20 is disposed on the connecting assembly 10 and is movably connected to the connecting assembly 10. The lifting assembly 20 is located on a second side of the wall 3000 (e.g., the outdoor side) and is configured to tilt relative to the connecting assembly 10 to lift the window air conditioner 1000, and to be parallel to the connecting assembly 10 to lower the window air conditioner 1000 and place it on the connecting assembly 10.

[0068] During the installation process of the window air conditioner 1000, the lifting assembly 20 is first tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10 so that the window air conditioner 1000 can be placed on the tilted lifting assembly 20. Then, the lifting assembly 20 is switched from the tilted position relative to the connecting assembly 10 to a position parallel to the connecting assembly 10. This allows the window air conditioner 1000 to be stably placed on the connecting assembly 10, thereby successfully installing the window air conditioner 1000 on the mounting bracket 2000. Therefore, the lifting assembly 20 facilitates the lifting and lowering of the window air conditioner 1000, facilitating installation and removal of the window air conditioner 1000, reducing installation difficulty and improving installation efficiency.

[0069] It should be noted that when the lifting assembly 20 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10 , the third side of the connecting assembly 10 abuts against the window air conditioner 1000 to stably support the window air conditioner 1000 .

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3A to 3C , the lifting assembly 20 includes a first movable rod 21. The first movable rod 21 is disposed on a first side (e.g., an inner side) of the connecting assembly 10 in the second direction. A first end of the first movable rod 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 10, and a second end of the first movable rod 21 is slidably connected to the connecting assembly 10. In this manner, the first end of the first movable rod 21 can be raised or lowered relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby allowing the first movable rod 21 to be tilted or parallel to the connecting assembly 10.

[0071] For example, the lifting assembly 20 includes a first position and a second position. When the lifting assembly 20 is in the first position (as shown in FIG. 4 ), the first movable rod 21 is tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10. In this case, the tilt angle between the lifting assembly 20 and the connecting assembly 10 is a preset angle, and the highest point of the first movable rod 21 is lower than the highest point of the connecting assembly 10. This facilitates the tilting placement of the window air conditioner 1000 on the mounting bracket 2000. At this time, the first movable rod 21 can support the window air conditioner 1000. When the lifting assembly 20 is in the second position (as shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B ), the first movable rod 21 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, and the window air conditioner 1000 can be stably placed on the mounting bracket 2000.

[0072] It should be noted that the tilt angle between the lifting assembly 20 and the connecting assembly 10 can be understood as the angle between the extension direction of the first moving rod 21 and the third direction. Furthermore, in the first direction, when the first moving rod 21 is tilted, the first end of the first moving rod 21 (i.e., the end of the first moving rod 21 closer to the indoor side) is higher than the second end of the first moving rod 21 (i.e., the end of the first moving rod 21 farther from the indoor side), and the highest point of the first moving rod 21 (i.e., the first end of the raised first moving rod 21) is lower than the highest point of the connecting assembly 10. This facilitates the smooth pushing of the window air conditioner 1000 located on the connecting assembly 10 onto the lifting assembly 20.

[0073] When the lifting assembly 20 switches from the second position to the first position, the first end of the first movable rod 21 is lifted relative to the connecting assembly 10, and the second end of the first movable rod 21 slides relative to the connecting assembly 10 toward the inner side of the room (e.g., from back to front). During this process, the height of the second end of the first movable rod 21 remains unchanged, allowing the lifting assembly 20 to tilt relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0074] When the lifting assembly 20 switches from the first position to the second position, the first end of the first movable rod 21 descends relative to the connecting assembly 10, while the second end of the first movable rod 21 slides relative to the connecting assembly 10 in a direction away from the indoor interior (e.g., from front to back). During this process, the height of the second end of the first movable rod 21 remains unchanged, allowing the lifting assembly 20 to remain parallel to the connecting assembly 10. This allows the window air conditioner 1000, placed on the lifting assembly 20, to transition from an inclined position to a horizontal position, completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0075] During the installation process of window air conditioner 1000, the connecting assembly 10 is first fixedly connected to the wall 3000, and the lifting assembly 20 is moved to the first position. Next, the window air conditioner 1000 is placed on the mounting bracket 2000, with the lifting assembly 20 supporting the window air conditioner 1000. At this point, the window air conditioner 1000 is tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10. Next, the lifting assembly 20 is moved from the first position to the second position, paralleling the window air conditioner 1000 with the connecting assembly 10, completing the initial installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5A to 5C , the lifting assembly 20 includes two first movable rods 21. The two first movable rods 21 are spaced apart in the second direction. By increasing the number of first movable rods 21 supporting the window air conditioner 1000, the support strength of the mounting bracket 2000 for the window air conditioner 1000 can be increased, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the window air conditioner 1000 when mounted on the mounting bracket 2000.

[0077] The following description mainly takes the lifting assembly 20 including two first moving rods 21 as an example.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3A and FIG6 , the lifting assembly 20 further includes a first driving member 22. The first driving member 22 is configured to drive the first end of the first moving rod 21 to rotate, so as to raise or lower the first end of the first moving rod 21, thereby enabling the first moving rod 21 to be tilted or parallel relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0079] The first driving member 22 is rotatably disposed through the connecting assembly 10. The first driving member 22 is drivingly connected to the first end of the first movable rod 21, and the rotation axis H of the first driving member 22 is offset from the first end of the first movable rod 21. For example, the rotation axis H of the first driving member 22 is substantially parallel to the second direction, and the first end of the first movable rod 21 is spaced apart from the rotation axis H of the first driving member 22 in a direction perpendicular to the second direction. Thus, when the first driving member 22 rotates, the first driving member 22 can drive the first end of the first movable rod 21 to rise or fall relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0080] For example, the first driving member 22 drives the first end of the first moving rod 21 to rotate. In this case, because the rotation axis H of the first driving member 22 and the first end of the first moving rod 21 are offset, the height of the first end of the first moving rod 21 in the first direction increases or decreases during the process of the first end of the first moving rod 21 rotating about the rotation axis H of the first driving member 22, thereby allowing the first end of the first moving rod 21 to be raised or lowered relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0081] Furthermore, during the process in which the first end of the first moving rod 21 rotates around the rotation axis H of the first driving member 22 , the second end of the first moving rod 21 slides relative to the connecting assembly 10 toward or away from the indoor side.

[0082] When the first driving member 22 drives the first end of the first moving rod 21 to rotate counterclockwise, the first end of the first moving rod 21 is lifted, and the second end of the first moving rod 21 slides toward the indoor side, thereby allowing the lifting assembly 20 to tilt relative to the connecting assembly 10. At this time, the window air conditioner 1000 can be placed on the first moving rod 21 at an angle.

[0083] Next, when the first driving member 22 drives the first end of the first movable rod 21 to rotate again, the first end of the first movable rod 21 descends, and the second end of the first movable rod 21 slides relative to the connecting assembly 10 in a direction away from the indoor side, thereby allowing the lifting assembly 20 to be parallel to the connecting assembly 10. At this point, the window air conditioner 1000 is placed horizontally on the mounting bracket 2000, thereby completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000, facilitating operation, and improving the installation efficiency of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0084] It should be noted that "transmission connection" may refer to two connected components in which the movement of one component can be transmitted to another component, and the connection method between the two components includes but is not limited to at least one of the connection methods such as rotation connection, sliding connection, gear meshing transmission connection, sprocket transmission connection, and cam mechanism transmission connection.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6, when the lifting assembly 20 includes two first moving rods 21, the lifting assembly 20 includes two first driving members 22 to increase the driving force provided to the first moving rods 21, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the mounting bracket 2000 supporting the window air conditioner 1000.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3A and FIG6 , the first driving member 22 includes a first driving portion 221. The first driving portion 221 is disposed on the second side (e.g., the outer side) of the connecting assembly 10 in the second direction and is configured to provide a driving force to rotate the first end of the first moving rod 21. For example, the first driving portion 221 includes a handwheel, and the user can rotate the handwheel to provide the driving force.

[0087] The first driving member 22 also includes a first transmission portion 222. The first transmission portion 222 is in driving connection with the first driving portion 221 and the first end of the first movable rod 21, respectively. The first transmission portion 222 is configured to rotate the first end of the first movable rod 21 under the drive of the first driving portion 221. For example, the first end of the first transmission portion 222 is in driving connection with the first driving portion 221, and the second end of the first transmission portion 222 is connected to the first end of the first movable rod 21. The first transmission portion 222 may also be a support rod.

[0088] The first driving member 22 also includes a second connecting portion 223. The second connecting portion 223 is connected between the first driving member 221 and the first transmission member 222, and the second connecting portion 223 is disposed through the connecting assembly 10. For example, the second connecting portion 223 includes a rotating shaft, a first end of which is connected to the first driving member 221, and a second end of which is connected to the first end of the first transmission member 222. Rotation of the first driving member 221 drives rotation of the second connecting portion 223, which in turn drives rotation of the first transmission member 222. Thus, the second connecting portion 223 can cause the first driving member 221 and the first transmission member 222 to rotate synchronously.

[0089] In this way, when the first driving portion 221 rotates, the first transmission portion 222 may rotate accordingly, so that the first transmission portion 222 may drive the first end of the first moving rod 21 to rotate.

[0090] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , FIG7A and FIG7B , the lifting assembly 20 further includes a first sliding portion 23 (eg, a slider) disposed at the second end of the first moving rod 21 .

[0091] In this case, as shown in Figures 5A and 7B, the mounting bracket 2000 further includes a first guide portion 40 (e.g., a slide groove). The first guide portion 40 is disposed on a first side of the connecting assembly 10 and is adjacent to the second end of the first movable rod 21. The first sliding portion 23 is slidably connected to the first guide portion 40.

[0092] For example, the first sliding portion 23 slides within the first guide portion 40 to coordinate with the raising or lowering of the first end of the first movable rod 21. When the first end of the first movable rod 21 is raised, the first sliding portion 23 slides within the first guide portion 40 toward the indoor side, tilting the first movable rod 21 relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby allowing the window air conditioner 1000 to be placed on the first movable rod 21. When the first end of the first movable rod 21 is lowered, the first sliding portion 23 slides within the first guide portion 40 away from the indoor side, aligning the first movable rod 21 with the connecting assembly 10, thereby completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5A and 6, the lifting assembly 20 further includes a first flange 24 (limiting flange). The first flange 24 is configured to limit the window air conditioner 1000. The first flange 24 is disposed at the second end of the first movable rod 21 and at the first side (e.g., the upper side) of the first movable rod 21 in the first direction. The first flange 24 extends in the first direction to protrude from the first movable rod 21, thereby forming a limiting step between the first movable rod 21 and the first flange 24. In this way, the window air conditioner 1000 can abut against the first flange 24, and the first flange 24 can limit the window air conditioner 1000 to prevent the window air conditioner 1000 from sliding off the lifting assembly 20.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3A to 3C, the lifting assembly 20 further includes a folding member 25. The folding member 25 is foldably disposed between the two first moving rods 21 and connected to the two first moving rods 21. The folding member 25 is configured to fold to reduce the distance between the two first moving rods 21 in the second direction, or to unfold to increase the distance between the two first moving rods 21 in the second direction.

[0095] In some examples, the folding member 25 has a third position and a fourth position. When the folding member 25 is in the third position, the folding member 25 is folded, thereby reducing the distance between the two first movable rods 21 in the second direction, and the mounting bracket 2000 can be in a folded state (as shown in FIG8A ). When the folding member 25 is in the fourth position, the folding member 25 is unfolded, increasing the distance between the two first movable rods 21 in the second direction, and the mounting bracket 2000 can be in an unfolded state (as shown in FIG8B ).

[0096] For example, when the folding member 25 is in the third position, the size of the folding member 25 in the second direction is minimized. Because the two first movable rods 21 are connected to the folding member 25, the two first movable rods 21 move closer to each other as the folding member 25 folds, thereby reducing the distance between the two first movable rods 21 in the second direction. This allows the mounting bracket 2000 to be folded, reducing its size and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0097] When the folding member 25 is in the fourth position, the size of the folding member 25 in the second direction is at its largest. As the folding member 25 is deployed, the two first movable rods 21 move away from each other, thereby increasing the distance between the two first movable rods 21 in the second direction. Thus, the mounting bracket 2000 can be deployed. In this state, the mounting bracket 2000 can stably support the window air conditioner 1000, allowing the window air conditioner 1000 to be installed on the mounting bracket 2000.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3C, 5C, and 8B, the folding member 25 includes two folding rods 251. The two folding rods 251 are arranged crosswise and rotatably connected to each other. A first end of the folding rod 251 is connected to one of the first movable rods 21, and a second end of the folding rod 251 is slidably connected to the other first movable rod 21. The folding rod 251 is arranged at an angle relative to the two first movable rods 21. For example, in the third direction, the first end of the folding rod 251 is spaced apart from the second end of the folding rod 251.

[0099] The first end of the first folding rod 251 is connected to one end of the first first moving rod 21, and the second end of the first folding rod 251 is slidably connected to the other end of the second first moving rod 21. The first end of the second folding rod 251 is connected to one end of the second first moving rod 21, and the second end of the second folding rod 251 is slidably connected to the other end of the first first moving rod 21. In this way, the two folding rods 251 can be cross-arranged between the two first moving rods 21, so that the first moving rods 21 on both sides of the folding member 25 can move stably when the folding member 25 is folded or unfolded.

[0100] 5B and 5C , the folder 25 further includes a second sliding portion 252 . The second sliding portion 252 is disposed at the second end of the folding rod 251 .

[0101] In this case, the lifting assembly 20 further includes a second guide portion 26 (e.g., a slide groove). The second guide portion 26 is disposed on a third side (e.g., an inner side) of the first movable rod 21 in the second direction. The second sliding portion 252 is slidably connected to the second guide portion 26, such that the second sliding portion 252 can slide within the second guide portion 26. It should be noted that if the second guide portion 26 is a slide groove, the notch of the slide groove faces the folding member 25.

[0102] Taking the second end of the folding rod 251 close to the indoor side as an example, when the folding member 25 switches from the fourth position to the third position, the second end of the folding rod 251 slides relative to the second guide portion 26 in the direction close to the indoor side; when the folding member 25 switches from the third position to the fourth position, the second end of the folding rod 251 slides relative to the second guide portion 26 in the direction away from the indoor side.

[0103] Taking the second end of the folding rod 251 away from the indoor side as an example, when the folding member 25 switches from the fourth position to the third position, the second end of the folding rod 251 slides relative to the second guide portion 26 in a direction away from the indoor side; when the folding member 25 switches from the third position to the fourth position, the second end of the folding rod 251 slides relative to the second guide portion 26 in a direction close to the indoor side.

[0104] It should be noted that the folding member 25 may also adopt other structures with folding functions (for example, a scissor structure, a hydraulic rod, a damper, etc.).

[0105] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the connection assembly 10 includes two support members 12 (support rods). The two support members 12 are configured to be fixedly connected to the first side of the wall 3000 and support the window air conditioner 1000. The two support members 12 extend generally along the third direction and are spaced apart along the second direction. The first ends of the two support members 12 are fixedly connected to the first side of the wall 3000, and the second ends of the two support members 12 pass through the mounting opening 4000 and extend to the second side of the wall 3000. In this way, the two support members 12 extend from indoors to outdoors to respectively support the indoor unit 100 and outdoor unit 200 of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0106] The connecting assembly 10 also includes a connecting member 11 (connecting rod). The connecting member 11 is connected between two supporting members 12, and the two supporting members 12 are disposed at both ends of the connecting member 11 in the second direction. For example, the second ends of the two supporting members 12 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting member 11 in the second direction. In this way, the two supporting members 12 and the connecting member 11 can be combined to form a frame to support the window air conditioner 1000.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3A and FIG5A , the support member 12 includes a limiting portion 121 (wall-hanging portion) that is fixedly connected to a first side of the wall 3000 to secure the connecting assembly 10 to the wall 3000 .

[0108] For example, the limiting portion 121 includes a first sub-limiting portion 1211. The first sub-limiting portion 1211 extends along the second direction and is fixedly connected to the first side of the wall 3000. The limiting portion 121 also includes a second sub-limiting portion 1212. The second sub-limiting portion 1212 is vertically and detachably connected to the first sub-limiting portion 1211.

[0109] It is understood that when the connection assembly 10 includes two support members 12, the two limiting portions 121 of the two support members 12 can share a first sub-limiting portion 1211. In other words, the two support members 12 include a first sub-limiting portion 1211, and the two second sub-limiting portions 1212 included in the two support members 12 are respectively connected to the first sub-limiting portion 1211, and the two second sub-limiting portions 1212 can be spaced apart in the second direction.

[0110] The support member 12 also includes a support portion 122. The support portion 122 is configured to support the lifting assembly 20. The lifting assembly 20 is disposed on the support portion 122 and connected to the support portion 122. The support portion 122 extends along the third direction. In the first direction, the support portion 122 and the limiting portion 121 are spaced apart. The limiting portion 121 is located on a first side (e.g., an upper side) of the support portion 122 in the first direction. In addition, a first guide portion 40 is disposed on the support portion 122.

[0111] The support member 12 further includes a first connection portion 123. The first connection portion 123 is connected between the support portion 122 and the limiting portion 121. For example, a first end of the first connection portion 123 is connected to the limiting portion 121, and a second end of the first connection portion 123 is connected to the support portion 122.

[0112] When the lifting assembly 20 is in the first position, the first movable rod 21 is located between the spaced-apart limiting portion 121 and the supporting portion 122. The first movable rod 21 can serve as a transition channel, allowing the outdoor unit 200 of the window air conditioner 1000 to descend via the first movable rod 21 and be placed on the supporting portion 122. When the window air conditioner 1000 is placed flat on the mounting bracket 2000, the indoor unit 100 of the window air conditioner 1000 can abut against one side (e.g., the upper side) of the limiting portion 121 in the first direction, and the outdoor unit 200 of the window air conditioner 1000 can abut against the first side of the supporting portion 122, thereby completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0113] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first connecting portion 123 can be bent. For example, as shown in FIG9 , the first connecting portion 123 includes a first sub-connecting portion 1231 (a straight rod segment). The first sub-connecting portion 1231 extends in a direction inclined relative to the first direction and is connected to the stopper 121. For example, the first end of the first sub-connecting portion 1231 is connected to the second sub-stopper 1212 of the stopper 121.

[0114] The first connecting portion 123 also includes a second sub-connecting portion 1232 (an arcuate segment). The second sub-connecting portion 1232 is connected to the first sub-connecting portion 1231 and the support portion 122, respectively. For example, the first end of the second sub-connecting portion 1232 is connected to the second end of the first sub-connecting portion 1231, and the second end of the second sub-connecting portion 1232 is connected to the support portion 122. The second sub-connecting portion 1232 can be arcuate to connect the inclined first sub-connecting portion 1231 to the horizontal support portion 122. It should be noted that the first driving member 22 can be disposed through the second sub-connecting portion 1232.

[0115] The bent structure formed by the first sub-connecting portion 1231 and the second sub-connecting portion 1232 can enhance the structural strength of the first connecting portion 123 and improve the load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket 2000. Furthermore, when the connecting assembly 10 is installed at the mounting opening 4000, the bent first connecting portion 123 can conform to the wall 3000, thereby reducing the volume of the mounting bracket 2000, thereby avoiding blocking light at the mounting opening 4000 and improving the sealing performance of the mounting opening 4000.

[0116] In some embodiments, the support member 12 and the connecting member 11 may be slidably connected.

[0117] For example, the first sliding portion 23 is provided at one end of the support member 12 near the connecting member 11. A first guide portion 40 is provided on the side of the connecting member 11 facing the support member 12, and the first sliding portion 23 is slidably connected to the first guide portion 40. The first sliding portion 23 can slide relative to the first guide portion 40, so that the support member 12 can slide relative to the connecting member 11. When the folding member 25 switches from the third position to the fourth position, the first sliding portion 23 slides in the first guide portion 40 in a direction away from each other, so that the two support members 12 move away from each other until the distance between the two support members 12 is maximized. When the folding member 25 switches from the fourth position to the third position, the first sliding portion 23 slides in the first guide portion 40 in a direction toward each other, so that the two support members 12 move toward each other until the distance between the two support members 12 is minimized, thereby folding the mounting bracket 2000 and reducing the size of the mounting bracket 2000 to a minimum for transportation.

[0118] For another example, the support member 12 may further include a fourth sliding portion. The fourth sliding portion is disposed at one end of the support member 122 proximal to the connector 11. In this case, the connector 11 may include a fourth guide portion (e.g., a slide groove). The fourth sliding portion is slidably connected to the fourth guide portion. The fourth guide portion extends in the second direction, allowing the fourth sliding portion to slide in the second direction within the fourth guide portion.

[0119] In this way, when the folding member 25 switches from the third position to the fourth position, the two fourth sliding parts of the two support members 12 can slide in the fourth guide part in the direction away from each other, so that the two support members 12 move away from each other until the distance between the two support members 12 is maximized, thereby realizing the unfolding of the mounting bracket 2000; when the folding member 25 switches from the fourth position to the third position, the two fourth sliding parts can slide in the fourth guide part in the direction close to each other, so that the two support members 12 move close to each other until the distance between the two support members 12 is minimized, thereby realizing the folding of the mounting bracket 2000 for transportation.

[0120] It should be noted that, during the folding or unfolding of the mounting bracket 2000 , the first sub-limiting portion 1211 and the second sub-limiting portion 1212 of the limiting portion 121 are separated from each other, so that the two supporting members 12 can move closer to or farther away from each other.

[0121] In other embodiments, the support members 12 and the connector 11 are detachably connected. When the mounting bracket 2000 needs to be folded, the connector 11 can be removed to allow the two support members 12 to be brought closer together. When the mounting bracket 2000 is unfolded, after the distance between the two support members 12 reaches its maximum, the connector 11 is connected to the two support members 12 to secure the two support members 12.

[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10A and 10B, the support member 12 further includes a reinforcement portion 124 (wall support portion). The reinforcement portion 124 is located on the second side (i.e., the lower side) of the support portion 122 in the first direction. The first end of the reinforcement portion 124 is connected to the support portion 122, and the second end of the reinforcement portion 124 abuts the second side of the wall 3000. The reinforcement portion 124 is configured to support the support portion 122, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the mounting bracket 2000.

[0123] For example, when the connection assembly 10 includes two supports 12 , the connection assembly 10 includes two reinforcing portions 124 . The two reinforcing portions 124 are spaced apart in the second direction and are respectively located on the second sides of the two support portions 122 to support the support portions 122 .

[0124] In some embodiments, the reinforcement portion 124 may be a bent structure to increase the structural strength of the reinforcement portion 124 and improve the bending and torsional resistance of the reinforcement portion 124. In addition, the material required for the reinforcement portion 124 may be reduced, thereby reducing the cost and weight of the mounting bracket 2000.

[0125] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10A and FIG10B , the reinforcing portion 124 includes a body 1241 . A first end of the body 1241 is connected to the supporting portion 122 , and a second end of the body 1241 abuts against a second side of the wall 3000 .

[0126] The reinforcement portion 124 further includes a first mounting portion 1242 (mounting post), which is disposed at the first end of the body 1241 and extends in a direction (e.g., upward) toward the support portion 122. For example, the reinforcement portion 124 includes two first mounting portions 1242, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the first end of the body 1241 in the second direction.

[0127] In this case, the support member 12 further includes a third mounting portion 125 (slot), which is disposed on the second side of the support portion 122 and is connected to the first mounting portion 1242. For example, the first mounting portion 1242 and the third mounting portion 125 are plugged into each other to achieve the connection between the reinforcing portion 124 and the support portion 122.

[0128] It can be understood that the position and number of the third mounting portions 125 correspond to the position and number of the reinforcing portions 124 , respectively.

[0129] 10B , the reinforcing portion 124 further includes a second mounting portion 1243 . The second mounting portion 1243 is disposed on the first mounting portion 1242 .

[0130] In this case, the support member 12 further includes a plurality of fourth mounting portions 126 , which are spaced apart along the third direction on the third mounting portion 125 . The second mounting portion 1243 is connected to any one of the fourth mounting portions 126 .

[0131] For example, the second mounting portion 1243 is a first through hole, and the fourth mounting portion 126 is a second through hole. Fasteners (such as screws or bolts) can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole to connect with the support portion 122 and the reinforcement portion 124, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the reinforcement portion 124 and the support portion 122.

[0132] Furthermore, the second mounting portion 1243 cooperates with any of the fourth mounting portions 126 , so that the reinforcing portion 124 can adapt to walls 3000 of different thicknesses, thereby increasing the application range of the connecting assembly 10 .

[0133] In some embodiments, the reinforcement portion 124 may also be rotatably connected to the support portion 122. In this way, the angle between the reinforcement portion 124 and the support portion 122 may be adjusted, so that the reinforcement portion 124 may be suitable for installation at various angles.

[0134] In some embodiments, the support portion 122 and the reinforcement portion 124 may be integrally formed. 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.

[0135] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the mounting bracket 2000 further includes a stopper 30 (support plate). The stopper 30 is configured to abut the first movable rod 21 when the first movable rod 21 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, thereby limiting and supporting the first movable rod 21 in the first direction. The stopper 30 is disposed on the fourth side of the connecting assembly 10 and extends along the second direction. At least a portion of the stopper 30 is located on the second side (e.g., the lower side) of the first movable rod 21 in the first direction. When the first movable rod 21 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, the first movable rod 21 and the stopper 30 abut against each other to support and limit the first movable rod 21.

[0136] For example, the stopper 30 is plate-shaped and disposed on the second side of the support portion 122. When the first movable rod 21 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, the first movable rod 21 abuts the stopper 30, thereby supporting and limiting the position of the first movable rod 21. Thus, when the first movable rod 21 abuts the stopper 30, the first end of the first movable rod 21 can stop descending, facilitating the first movable rod 21 becoming parallel to the connecting assembly 10. Furthermore, when the first movable rod 21 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, the stopper 30 can support the first movable rod 21, thereby supporting the window air conditioner 1000 placed on the first movable rod 21, thereby improving the structural stability of the mounting bracket 2000.

[0137] It should be noted that when the lifting assembly 20 includes two first movable rods 21, the mounting bracket 2000 includes two stoppers 30. Furthermore, when the mounting bracket 2000 is folded, a gap exists between the two stoppers 30, or the two stoppers 30 abut against each other. This prevents interference between the two stoppers 30 when the mounting bracket 2000 is folded.

[0138] The above description uses the lifting assembly 20 including the crank connection mechanism as an example. However, in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 20 may also adopt other structures to lift the window air conditioner 1000.

[0139] As shown in Figures 11 to 12C , the lifting assembly 20 includes a second movable rod 27. The second movable rod 27 is mounted on the connecting assembly 10. The first end of the second movable rod 27 is closer to the indoor side than the second end of the second movable rod 27. The first end of the second movable rod 27 can be raised or lowered relative to the connecting assembly 10, and the second end of the second movable rod 27 is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 10.

[0140] For example, the height of the first end of the second movable rod 27 in the first direction can be increased or decreased, and the end of the second movable rod 27 away from the interior of the room (i.e., the second end) can be rotated relative to the connecting assembly 10. When the first end of the second movable rod 27 is raised, the second end of the second movable rod 27 rotates relative to the connecting assembly 10, and the height of the second end of the second movable rod 27 remains unchanged, thereby forming an angle between the second movable rod 27 and the connecting assembly 10, and the second movable rod 27 can be tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0141] In this way, the window air conditioner 1000 can be placed on the second moving rod 27. At this time, the window air conditioner 1000 is parallel to the second moving rod 27, and the window air conditioner 1000 is tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10 (as shown in FIG. 13A).

[0142] Then, when the first end of the second movable rod 27 descends until the second movable rod 27 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10 (as shown in FIG. 13B ), the window air conditioner 1000 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, and the window air conditioner 1000 is placed horizontally, thereby completing the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0143] It should be noted that when the second movable rod 27 is tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10, the highest point of the second movable rod 27 is lower than the highest point of the connecting assembly 10. In this way, the window air conditioner 1000 can be easily placed on the second movable rod 27, and the connecting assembly 10 can provide support for the window air conditioner 1000.

[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12B, 12C, and 13A, the lifting assembly 20 further includes a third movable rod 28. The third movable rod 28 is located on one side (e.g., the lower side) of the second movable rod 27 in the first direction. A first end of the third movable rod 28 is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 10, and a second end of the third movable rod 28 is slidably connected to the first end of the second movable rod 27 and abuts the side of the second movable rod 27 in the first direction.

[0145] For example, the first end of the third movable rod 28 can rotate relative to the connecting assembly 10, and the second end of the third movable rod 28 can slide and abut against the first end of the second movable rod 27. When the first end of the third movable rod 28 rotates, the second end of the third movable rod 28 can be raised or lowered relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby raising or lowering the first end of the second movable rod 27 accordingly.

[0146] When the second end of the third moving rod 28 is lifted relative to the connecting assembly 10, the second end of the third moving rod 28 supports the lower side of the second moving rod 27 to provide a supporting force for the second moving rod 27. In this case, the first end of the second moving rod 27 can be lifted relative to the connecting assembly 10, and the second moving rod 27 can be tilted relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby tilting the lifting assembly 20 relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0147] When the second end of the third moving rod 28 descends relative to the connecting assembly 10, the first end of the second moving rod 27 can descend relative to the connecting assembly 10. When the third moving rod 28 rotates to be parallel to the connecting assembly 10, the second moving rod 27 can be parallel to the connecting assembly 10, and thus the lifting assembly 20 can be parallel to the connecting assembly 10.

[0148] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12B to 13B, the lifting assembly 20 further includes a second driving member 29. The second driving member 29 is rotatable and is in driving connection with the first end of the third moving rod 28. The second driving member 29 is configured to drive the first end of the third moving rod 28 to rotate, thereby raising or lowering the second end of the third moving rod 28 relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby adjusting the second moving rod 27 to be tilted or parallel relative to the connecting assembly 10.

[0149] For example, when the second driving member 29 rotates, the first end of the third moving rod 28 rotates accordingly, and the second end of the third moving rod 28 rotates with the first end of the third moving rod 28 as the rotation axis, so that the second end of the second moving rod 27 can be raised or lowered relative to the connecting component 10.

[0150] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12B and 12C , the second driving member 29 includes a second driving portion 291. The second driving portion 291 is disposed on the second side of the connecting assembly 10 and is configured to provide a driving force to rotate the first end of the third movable rod 28. For example, the second driving portion 291 includes a handwheel, and a user can rotate the handwheel to drive the first end of the third movable rod 28 to rotate.

[0151] The second driving member 29 also includes a second transmission portion 292. The second transmission portion 292 is connected to the second driving portion 291 and the first end of the third movable rod 28, respectively. The second transmission portion 292 is configured to rotate the first end of the third movable rod 28 under the drive of the second driving portion 291. For example, the first end of the second transmission portion 292 is connected to the second driving portion 291, and the second end of the second transmission portion 292 is connected to the first end of the third movable rod 28.

[0152] Thus, when the second driving portion 291 rotates, the second transmission portion 292 also rotates. The second transmission portion 292 can drive the first end of the third moving rod 28 to rotate, thereby allowing the second end of the third moving rod 28 to rotate around the first end of the third moving rod 28. The second end of the third moving rod 28 can be raised or lowered relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby tilting or paralleling the lifting assembly 20 relative to the connecting assembly 10, thereby facilitating the installation of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0153] 12B and 14A , the lifting assembly 20 further includes a third guide portion 31 (eg, a slide groove) disposed at the first end of the second moving rod 27 and located on the one side of the second moving rod 27 in the first direction.

[0154] 12C , the lifting assembly 20 further includes a third sliding portion 32 . The third sliding portion 32 is disposed at the second end of the third moving rod 28 and is slidably connected to the third guide portion 31 .

[0155] For example, the third sliding portion 32 slides along the third direction in the third guide portion 31 to change the angle between the second moving rod 27 and the third moving rod 28, so that the first end of the second moving rod 27 is lifted or lowered as the second end of the third moving rod 28 is lifted or lowered.

[0156] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14B , the lifting assembly 20 includes two second movable rods 27 spaced apart in the second direction. Correspondingly, the lifting assembly 20 includes two second driving members 29 spaced apart in the second direction and two third movable rods 28 spaced apart in the second direction.

[0157] In this case, the lifting assembly 20 further includes a third connecting portion 33 (connecting plate). The third connecting portion 33 is connected between the two second driving members 29 and is configured to synchronously rotate one second driving member 29 when the other second driving member 29 rotates. This allows the second ends of the two third movable rods 28 to be raised or lowered synchronously, and the first ends of the two second movable rods 27 to be raised or lowered synchronously, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the lifting assembly 20's support of the window air conditioner 1000.

[0158] For example, a first end of the third connecting portion 33 is connected to the second transmission portion 292 in one second driving member 29 , and a second end of the third connecting portion 33 is connected to the second transmission portion 292 in another second driving member 29 .

[0159] 12A and 12C , the lifting assembly 20 further includes an evasion portion 34 . The evasion portion 34 is disposed on the second moving rod 27 and configured to evade the second driving member 29 and the third connecting portion 33 .

[0160] For example, a portion of the second movable rod 27 on one side (e.g., the lower side) near the second driving member 29 and the third connecting portion 33 is recessed to form an escape portion 34. Thus, when the second movable rod 27 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10 and the third movable rod 28 is parallel to the connecting assembly 10, at least portions of the second transmission portion 292 and the third connecting portion 33 can be located within the escape portion 34, thereby preventing the second transmission portion 292 and the third connecting portion 33 from interfering with the second movable rod 27.

[0161] It should be noted that the structure of the connecting assembly 10 corresponding to the second moving rod 27 is similar to the above-mentioned related content. Only the different parts of the connecting assembly 10 corresponding to the second moving rod 27 and the connecting assembly 10 corresponding to the first moving rod 21 are described below.

[0162] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14B , support portion 122 includes a receiving portion 1221 (receiving groove). A portion of a first side of support portion 122 is open to form receiving portion 1221. Second moving rod 27 and third moving rod 28 can be positioned within receiving portion 1221. For example, when the first end of second moving rod 27 is lowered relative to connecting assembly 10 and second moving rod 27 is parallel to connecting assembly 10, second moving rod 27 and third moving rod 28 can be accommodated within receiving portion 1221.

[0163] In this way, at least part of the lifting assembly 20 can be accommodated in the connecting assembly 10, which can further reduce the volume and weight of the mounting bracket 2000, reduce the space occupied by the mounting bracket 2000, facilitate transportation and installation, reduce obstruction to the mounting port 4000, and also improve the integrity of the mounting bracket 2000.

[0164] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14B , the connection assembly 10 further includes a second flange 127 (a position-limiting flange). The second flange 127 is configured to positionally limit the window air conditioner 1000. The second flange 127 is disposed at an end of the support portion 122 away from the position-limiting portion 121 and at a first side of the support portion 122. The second flange 127 extends in a first direction to protrude beyond the support portion 122, thereby forming a position-limiting step between the support portion 122 and the second flange 127. In this manner, the window air conditioner 1000 can abut against the second flange 127, which can positionally limit the window air conditioner 1000 and prevent it from sliding off the connection assembly 10.

[0165] It should be noted that the folding member 25 mentioned above can also be applied to the mounting bracket 2000 corresponding to the second moving rod 27, and will not be described in detail here.
