[0115] Currently, air conditioner outdoor units are connected to an installation medium via mounting brackets. The installation medium can be, but is not limited to, components such as building walls or RV walls, to provide support for the mounting brackets. The mounting bracket includes a bracket body connected to the installation medium and an adjustment bracket connected to the bracket body, which is used to connect the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0116] Currently, after the bracket body is connected to the installation medium, there is still a lot of space between the bracket body and the installation medium for the installation medium to move around. This makes the connection stability between the bracket and the installation medium poor. Under the blowing of airflow, the bracket is prone to shaking, which makes it easy for the bracket to detach from the installation medium, causing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to fall and thus causing a safety accident.

[0117] This application proposes a mounting bracket 10 for connecting an outdoor unit 910 of an air conditioner to an installation medium 800.

[0118] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. In one embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket 10 includes a bracket body 100, which includes a main frame 110 and a connecting structure 120 that is bent and connected to the main frame 110. The bracket body 100 also includes a safety rope 340, one end of which is connected to the connecting structure 120 and the other end is connected to a fixed position.

[0119] It is understood that the installation medium 800 can take many structural forms, including but not limited to houses that are fixed buildings, houses that can be used as vehicles, etc. The house has a window structure, which can be a window structure installed on the sloping roof of the house's attic, a window structure installed on the exterior wall of a common house, or a window structure on a motorhome. In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the window structure includes a window frame 812 and a window door 811 provided on the window frame 812. The window door 811 is used to open and close the window frame 812, and the connecting structure 120 is connected to the window frame 812. In another embodiment, the window structure is a French window structure, and the connecting structure 120 is connected to the railing (not shown) of the French window structure. Here, no limitation is made on the window structure.

[0120] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5. To improve the connection stability between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800, the bracket body 100 also includes a safety rope 340. One end of the safety rope 340 is connected to the connecting structure 120, and the other end extends into the room and is fixed. The fixing point can be the indoor unit of the air conditioner located inside the house, or other items inside the room, as long as the safety rope 340 can be fixed. In this way, in addition to being connected and fixed to the mounting medium 800 through the connecting structure 120, the bracket body 100 can also be fixed by the safety rope 340. On the one hand, when the mounting bracket 400 is blown away by the wind outdoors, the mounting bracket 400 can still be connected by the safety rope 340 and will not be blown away, thereby improving the connection stability between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800, reducing the degree of swaying of the mounting bracket 10, thereby reducing the possibility of the outdoor unit 910 falling, and thus reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. On the other hand, if the bracket body 100 accidentally falls during installation, the safety rope 340 can promptly catch it, preventing injury from the fall. Furthermore, the safety rope 340 can also prevent the bracket body 100 from falling due to improper installation. Thus, the safety rope 340 improves the safety of the bracket body 100, thereby enhancing the safety of the installation bracket 10 and the overall safety of the air conditioner.

[0121] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. In the embodiments of this application, the connection structure 120 includes an overlap frame 200 for overlapping with the installation medium 800. The end of the overlap frame 200 away from the main frame 110 is provided with a first connection hole 201 for connecting the safety rope 340.

[0122] Specifically, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the window structure of the mounting medium 800 includes a window frame 812 and a window door 811 disposed on the window frame 812. The window door 811 is used to open and close the window frame 812. The lap bracket 200 directly overlaps the window sill 813 of the window frame 812, thereby realizing the connection between the lap bracket 200 and the mounting medium 800. Referring to Figures 3 and 4, it can be understood that the end of the lap bracket 200 away from the main frame 110, that is, the end of the lap bracket 200 facing the interior of the house, is provided. A first connecting hole 201 is provided on the end of the lap bracket 200 away from the main frame 110 for connecting the safety rope 340, thereby improving the connection convenience of the safety rope 340; at the same time, it also avoids interference with the wall or other structures when the safety rope 340 extends into the interior; in addition, compared with providing the first connecting hole 201 on the end of the lap bracket 200 closer to the main frame 110, it is also beneficial to shorten the service length of the safety rope 340.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 4. In the embodiment of this application, the scaffolding 200 includes a scaffolding body 210 that is bent and connected to the main frame 110, and a reinforcing flange 220 disposed on the edge of the scaffolding body 210 away from the main frame 110. The first connecting hole 201 includes a first sub-hole 211 disposed on the scaffolding body 210, and a second sub-hole 221 disposed on the reinforcing flange 220. The first sub-hole 211 is disposed close to the second sub-hole 221. The safety rope 340 connects the first sub-hole 211 and the second sub-hole 221.

[0124] Specifically, to improve the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 200, a reinforcing flange 220 is provided at the edge of the mounting bracket body 210 away from the main frame 110, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 10 and thus enhancing the installation reliability of the outdoor air conditioning unit 910. To prevent installers from cutting their hands due to the reinforcing flange 220 during the installation of the bracket body 100, in one embodiment, the reinforcing flange 220 is bent towards the side closer to the main frame 110 at the edge of the mounting bracket body 210. In one embodiment, the reinforcing flange 220 and the mounting bracket body 210 are an integral structure, which facilitates the processing and forming of the mounting bracket 200.

[0125] Understandably, the reinforcing flange 220 is bent and connected to the scaffold body 210. To facilitate the connection between the safety rope 340 and the connecting structure 120, a first sub-hole 211 is provided on the scaffold body 210, and a second sub-hole 221 is provided on the reinforcing flange 220. The first sub-hole 211 and the second sub-hole 221 are positioned close to each other, and the safety rope 340 connects to the first sub-hole 211 and the second sub-hole 221. Thus, the arrangement of the first sub-hole 211 and the second sub-hole 221 improves the ease of connection of the safety rope 340, and also helps to provide the connection strength and stability between the safety rope 340 and the connecting structure 120.

[0126] Referring to Figure 4, in this embodiment, the first sub-hole 211 is configured as an elongated hole, and the length of the first sub-hole 211 extends towards the main frame 110. This elongated configuration of the first sub-hole 211 improves the ease of connection between the safety rope 340 and the first connecting hole 201, avoiding the need for precise alignment between the safety rope 340 and the first sub-hole 211 and the second sub-hole 221, thus reducing the difficulty of connecting the safety rope 340. Simultaneously, the elongated hole allows the support body 100 to be fitted with safety ropes 340 of different sizes as needed, increasing the applicability of the support body 100 and the mounting bracket 10.

[0127] Referring to Figures 2 and 4, in the embodiments of this application, the connecting structure 120 further includes a bent portion 310 connecting the overlapping frame 200 and the main frame 110, with a clearance step 311 formed between the bent portion 310 and the overlapping frame 200. It is understood that the overlapping frame 200 and the main frame 110 are connected by the bent portion 310, and a clearance step 311 is formed between the bent portion 310 and the overlapping frame 200. Thus, when the window 811 is closed, the clearance step 311 provides clearance space for the window 811, allowing it to close normally and preventing large gaps between the window 811 and the window frame 812, thus avoiding affecting the user's use of the window structure.

[0128] Referring to Figure 4, in the embodiments of this application, the overlapping frame 200 is provided with a fixing structure 320, which is used to connect with the installation medium 800. It is understood that the overlapping frame 200 can be directly overlapped on the window sill 813. To improve the connection strength between the overlapping frame 200 and the installation medium 800, a fixing structure 320 is provided on the overlapping frame 200. The fixing structure 320 is used to connect the overlapping frame 200 and the installation medium 800, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the overlapping frame 200 and the installation medium 800, and thus reducing the possibility of the air conditioner outdoor unit 910 falling.

[0129] Referring to Figure 4, in an embodiment of this application, the lap bracket 200 is provided with a fourth adjustment hole 202 for a fourth fastener 203 to pass through. The fourth fastener 203 is used to connect the fixing structure 320 and the lap bracket 200. In the scheme shown in the figures of this application, the fixing structure 320 is connected to the lap bracket 200 via the fourth fastener 203. The fourth adjustment hole 202 allows adjustment of the connection position between the fixing structure 320 and the lap bracket 200, thereby enabling the bracket body 100 to be adapted to different installation media 800. In one embodiment, the fourth fastener 203 includes, but is not limited to, hand-tightened bolts, rivets, etc.

[0130] In one embodiment, the fixing structure 320 is bonded to the mounting medium 800. This makes the connection process between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800 more convenient, allowing users to install the air conditioner themselves at home without having to wait a long time for an installer. Furthermore, since it's self-installed, installation fees are saved. Additionally, it eliminates the need for drilling into the window structure, preventing damage. In one embodiment, the fixing structure 320 and the mounting medium 800 are bonded using 3M adhesive.

[0131] Please refer to Figure 5. In the embodiment of this application, the connection structure 120 includes a hanging bracket 400. A hanging channel 410 is formed between the hanging bracket 400 and the main frame 110. The hanging channel 410 is used for the installation medium 800 to enter. A second connecting hole 420 is provided at one end of the hanging bracket 400 away from the main frame 110. The second connecting hole 420 is used for the safety rope 340 to be connected.

[0132] Specifically, in one embodiment, the window structure of the mounting medium 800 includes a French window structure with railings. The mounting bracket 400 is directly attached to the French window structure, with the railings extending into the mounting channel 410. A second connection hole 420 is provided at the end of the mounting bracket 400 away from the main frame 110, facilitating the connection of the safety rope 340 and the support body 100 from indoors.

[0133] Please refer to Figure 5. In the embodiment of this application, the main frame 110 is provided with a third connecting hole 111, and the hanging bracket 400 is provided with a limiting notch 430. The third connecting hole 111 is used for connecting the safety rope 340, and the limiting notch 430 is used for threading the safety rope 340 through.

[0134] Understandably, the railing of a French window structure includes an upper horizontal bar and multiple spaced vertical bars, with the upper end of each vertical bar connected to the upper horizontal bar. In one embodiment, a safety rope 340 is connected to the main frame 110, and the safety rope 340 is located below the upper horizontal bar of the railing, passing through the gap between adjacent vertical bars of the railing to enter the room. That is, after the safety rope 340 is connected to the third connecting hole 111 on the main frame 110, it passes through the hanging channel 410 and the limiting notch 430 in sequence. In this way, a limiting space is formed between the safety rope 340 and the hanging channel, thereby preventing the bracket body 100 from coming out of the limiting space and preventing the bracket body 100 from coming out of the railing, thus improving the safety of the bracket body 100 in use; at the same time, the safety rope 340 can also improve the connection stability between the bracket body 100 and the installation medium 800, reducing the possibility of the air conditioner outdoor unit 910 falling.

[0135] Referring to Figure 5, in this embodiment of the application, the end of the mounting bracket 400 away from the main frame 110 is provided with a reinforcing protrusion 440, and both the second connecting hole 420 and the limiting notch 430 are provided on the reinforcing protrusion 440. Thus, by placing both the second connecting hole 420 and the limiting notch 430 on the reinforcing protrusion 440, the structural strength of the bracket body 100 is improved, and the stability of the safety rope 340 connection is enhanced.

[0136] Referring to Figure 5, in one embodiment, the limiting notch 430 is provided with at least one detour section 431. Specifically, the detour section 431 includes an entry / exit section for the safety rope 340 to enter in the direction opposite to the attachment direction, a limiting section for the safety rope 340 to enter in the attachment direction, and a connecting section connecting the entry / exit section and the limiting section. It can be understood that if the attachment frame 400 is to detach from the attached installation medium 800, the attachment frame 400 needs to move in the direction opposite to the attachment direction. Since the limiting section is for the safety rope 340 to enter in the attachment direction, relative to the safety rope 340 that has already entered the limiting section, the further the attachment frame 400 moves in the direction opposite to the attachment direction, the further the safety rope 340 enters the limiting section in the attachment direction. That is, the safety rope 340 will not detach from the limiting section, which helps to improve the connection stability between the attachment frame 400 and the attached installation medium 800. Furthermore, even if the safety rope 340 detaches from the limiting section, for it to completely detach from the limiting notch 430, the safety rope 340 needs to move from the connecting section to the exit section. That is, the safety rope 340 needs to move along the length of the hooking channel 410 in the connecting section, and finally along the hooking direction in the exit section, before it can detach from the limiting notch 430. This makes it more difficult for the safety rope 340 to detach from the limiting notch 430, which helps improve the connection stability between the support body 100 and the hooked installation medium 800. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the limiting notch 430 can also be of other shapes, as long as it can restrict the safety rope 340 from detaching from the limiting notch 430; this is not a limitation here.

[0137] Please refer to Figures 6 to 17. To prevent the mounting bracket 10 from damaging the window frame or wall, in one embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket 10 includes:

[0138] The main support frame, located on the outside of window frame 812, is used for installing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner 910; and

[0139] The connecting structure 120 includes a first clamping member 121 connected to the main body of the bracket, and a second clamping member 122 disposed on the side of the first clamping member 121 away from the main body of the bracket. The first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 jointly clamp the window frame 812, and the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 is adjustable.

[0140] Specifically, the mounting bracket 10 can install the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner on the outside of the window. In the prior art, the mounting bracket 10 is usually fixed to the external wall 832 or window frame 812 by screws or other structures, which will inevitably damage the wall or window frame 812. However, in some countries (parts of Europe), it is not allowed to drill holes in the external wall 832 when installing the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner, and it is not allowed to damage the furniture. Even if it is allowed, it often requires professional installers to install it, which is not only time-consuming but also expensive, making the connection structure 120 in the prior art unsuitable.

[0141] In this design, the mounting medium 800 includes a window frame 812, and the mounting bracket 10 includes a connection structure 120 for connecting to the mounting medium 800. The connection structure 120 includes a first clamping member 121 connected to the bracket body and a second clamping member 122 disposed on the side of the first clamping member 121 away from the bracket body. The first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are at least partially disposed on opposite sides of the window frame 812, so that the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 together clamp the window frame 812. That is, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 together form a clamping groove for clamping the window frame 812, thereby eliminating the need to drill holes on the surface of the window frame 812, reducing damage to the window frame 812 during the installation of the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner, and thus improving the versatility of the mounting bracket 10.

[0142] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the connecting structure 120 onto the window frame 812, the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 is adjustable, meaning the clamping width of the clamping groove is adjustable. Understandably, during actual installation, to facilitate the installation of the connecting structure 120 onto the window frame 812, the clamping width of the clamping groove is often required to be relatively large (i.e., the width of the clamping groove is often greater than the thickness of the portion of the window frame 812 that needs to be clamped). Then, to ensure that the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can clamp the window frame 812 tightly, the clamping width of the clamping groove needs to be reduced. Therefore, the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 is adjustable, allowing direct adjustment of the clamping width of the clamping groove by adjusting the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122. This facilitates installation while ensuring installation stability.

[0143] In this embodiment, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can be directly disposed on the inner and outer sides of the window frame 812, thereby jointly clamping the entire thickness of the window frame 812; in other embodiments, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can also clamp a portion of the thickness of the window frame 812. In one embodiment, the window frame 812 has opposing inner and outer edges; the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 respectively abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer edge. Specifically, for some window types, such as sliding windows, the window frame 812 has an outer edge and an inner edge, and the outer edge and the inner edge together form a slot for the bottom side of the window to be inserted, in which case the width of the inner edge and the outer edge are basically equal; or for flat-push or push-pull windows, the outer edge can abut against the outer edge of the window to improve the closing effect of the window, in which case the inner edge is generally smaller in width and has lower clamping stability. The first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 abut against the inner and outer sides of the outer edge, respectively, that is, only clamping a portion of the window frame 812. At this point, it basically does not affect the normal closing of the window, thereby further improving the installation adaptability of the mounting bracket 10. Users can adjust the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 according to the actual window type, and then select different clamping positions, thereby further improving the installation flexibility of the mounting bracket 10.

[0144] Optionally, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are jointly clamped to the bottom edge of the window frame 812. In other embodiments, the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 may also be jointly clamped to the bottom edge and one of the side edges of the window frame 812, or the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 may be jointly clamped to the side edge of the window frame 812. The connecting structure 120 can be integrally formed into the bracket body, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 10 and reducing assembly steps. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting structure 120 may also be welded or snapped to the bracket body, or screwed and fastened to the bracket body. In one embodiment, the inner side of the first clamping part 123 is provided with a first anti-slip part, and the inner side of the second clamping part 125 is provided with a second anti-slip part. That is, the inner wall of the clamping groove is provided with an anti-slip part, thereby reducing the possibility of relative movement between the clamping groove and the window frame 812, which may affect the window mounting stability of the connecting structure 120. The first and second anti-slip parts can both be configured as flexible anti-slip pads, which can increase friction and provide cushioning for the contact between the first clamping part 123, the second clamping part 125 and the window frame 812, thereby further reducing the possibility of damage to the window frame 812. The first anti-slip part may be provided only on the inner side of the first clamping part 123; or the second anti-slip part may be provided only on the inner side of the second clamping part 125.

[0145] In the embodiments of this application, the first clamping member 121 includes a first clamping portion 123 and a first connecting portion 124 arranged at an angle, and the second clamping member 122 includes a second clamping portion 125 and a second connecting portion 126 arranged at an angle. The second clamping portion 125 is arranged opposite to the first clamping portion 123, the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 are slidably connected, and an adjustment structure is provided between the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 to adjust the distance between the first clamping portion 123 and the second clamping portion 125.

[0146] Specifically, the first clamping part 123 and the first connecting part 124 are bent and connected, and the second clamping part 125 and the second connecting part 126 are also bent and connected. The second connecting part 126 and the first connecting part 124 are slidably connected. The second clamping part 125 is disposed opposite to the first clamping part 123, so that the first clamping part 123, the first connecting part 124, the second clamping part 125 and the second connecting part 126 together form a generally "U" shaped structure, thereby forming a clamping groove for clamping the window frame 812. An adjustment structure is provided between the first connecting part 124 and the second connecting part 126. In the adjustment state, the second connecting part 126 and the first connecting part 124 can slide relative to each other, thereby adjusting the width of the clamping groove. In the locked state, the first connecting part 124 and the second connecting part 126 can be fixed relative to each other, thereby clamping the window frame 812 with the clamping groove.

[0147] Optionally, the first clamping portion 123 and the first connecting portion 124 are integrally formed, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the first clamping member 121 and facilitating its assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the first clamping portion 123 and the first connecting portion 124 can also be snap-fitted, welded together, or fastened with screws. The second clamping portion 125 and the second connecting portion 126 are integrally formed, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the second clamping member 122 and facilitating its assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the second clamping portion 125 and the second connecting portion 126 can also be snap-fitted, welded together, or fastened with screws.

[0148] Furthermore, to ensure the structural strength of the first clamping member 121 and reduce the possibility of positional deformation of the first clamping part 123 and the first connecting part 124 during clamping, a first reinforcing rib is provided at the corner of the first clamping part 123 and the first connecting part 124, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the two and ensuring the structural stability of the first clamping member 121 when clamping the window frame 812. Further, a second reinforcing rib is provided at the corner of the second clamping part 125 and the second connecting part 126, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the two and ensuring the structural stability of the second clamping member 122 when clamping the window frame 812.

[0149] In another embodiment, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. One end of the adjusting bolt is fixed to the first clamping member, and the other end is slidably connected to the second clamping member. The distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member is adjusted by the axial movement of the second clamping member along the adjusting bolt. Multiple adjusting bolts may be present, and these bolts are spaced apart on the first clamping member 121.

[0150] Please refer to Figures 6 to 11 and Figures 14 to 17. In the embodiments of this application, the adjustment structure includes a third adjustment hole 1261 provided in one of the first connecting portion 124 and the second connecting portion 126, and a fifth connecting hole 1241 provided in the other. The third adjustment hole 1261 extends along the arrangement direction of the first clamping portion 123 and the second clamping portion 125. The adjustment member 127 passes through the third adjustment hole 1261 and can be securely connected to the fifth connecting hole 1241. Specifically, the third adjustment hole 1261 is configured as a strip-shaped hole and extends along the arrangement direction of the first clamping part 123 and the second clamping part 125. The adjustment member 127 passes through the third adjustment hole 1261 and can be securely connected to the fifth connecting hole 1241. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122, it is only necessary to loosen the adjustment member 127 to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122, and then tighten the adjustment member 127 to fix the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 in a predetermined state.

[0151] The adjusting member 127 is typically threaded to the fifth connecting hole 1241. Since both the first connecting part 124 and the second connecting part 126 are thin plate structures, in order to ensure the stable connection between the adjusting member 127 and the fifth connecting hole 1241 and reduce slippage, the first connecting part 124 or the second connecting part 126 is thickened at the fifth connecting hole 1241, thereby increasing the depth of the fifth connecting hole 1241 and increasing the mating area between the two.

[0152] Optionally, the adjusting member 127 is configured as one of an adjusting screw, an adjusting bolt, and a locking device. The locking device can be configured as a thumb-type quick-locking device, requiring only a small turning angle to facilitate adjustment of the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122.

[0153] Furthermore, referring to Figures 7 and 9, a limiting structure is also provided between the first connecting portion 124 and the second connecting portion 126. The limiting structure can restrict the sliding direction of the second connecting portion 126 and / or the first connecting portion 124. Specifically, the limiting structure can prevent the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 from shifting or deflecting when they slide relative to each other, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability when adjusting the distance between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122.

[0154] For example, the limiting structure includes a first flange 1242 bent and connected to the opposite sides of the first connecting portion 124, and a second flange 1262 bent and connected to the opposite sides of the second connecting portion 126. The second flange 1262 and the second connecting portion 126 define a limiting groove 1263. The first connecting portion 124 and the first flange 1242 are slidably installed in the limiting groove 1263. Specifically, two second flanges 1262 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second connecting portion 126 and adjacent to the second clamping portion 125, thereby forming a limiting groove 1263 in the direction of relative sliding of the first connecting portion 124 and the second connecting portion 126. The first connecting portion 124 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 1263, so that the limiting groove 1263 can both restrict the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124 from shifting or deflecting when they slide relative to each other, and guide the relative sliding of the second connecting portion 126 and the first connecting portion 124. Correspondingly, two first flanges 1242 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first connecting portion 124 and adjacent to the first clamping portion 123. The first connecting portion 124 and the first flanges 1242 are slidably installed in the limiting groove 1263, so that the shapes of the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are adapted to each other, further improving the stability when they slide relative to each other.

[0155] Furthermore, the second flange 1262 has a first stop flange 1264 at the end away from the second clamping part 125. The first stop flange can prevent the first flange 1242 from disengaging from the limiting groove 1263, that is, the first stop flange can prevent the first flange 1242 from disengaging along its sliding direction, thereby preventing the first clamping member 121 from disengaging from the second clamping member 122. In addition, in order to reduce the first clamping member 121 from disengaging from the second clamping member in the vertical direction, the lower side of the second flange 1262 is also provided with an inwardly bent second stop flange 1265, that is, to reduce the size of the lower opening of the limiting groove 1263, thereby further preventing the first clamping member 121 from disengaging from the second clamping member 122.

[0156] Please refer to Figures 6 to 11. In one embodiment of this application, the bracket body includes a first support frame and a second support frame. The first support frame is connected to the connecting structure 120 and extends partially out of the window along a first direction. The second support frame includes an adjusting frame 510 and a support base 520 arranged at an angle. The adjusting frame 510 is connected to the first support frame and extends downward. One end of the support base 520 is connected to the adjusting frame 510, and the other end abuts against the external wall 832. The outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner is installed on the side of the adjusting frame 510 away from the external wall 832. The first support frame is connected to the lower side of the first clamping part 123, and the first connecting part 124 is provided on the upper side of the first clamping part 123.

[0157] Specifically, the first support frame includes a bent portion 310 and a main frame 110 arranged at an angle. The bent portion 310 extends outward from the window in a first direction, and the main frame 110 extends downward to connect with the adjusting frame 510, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the first and second support frames. The support base 520 is arranged at an angle with the adjusting frame 510, with one end of the support base 520 connected to the adjusting frame 510 and the other end abutting against the external wall 832. The outdoor air conditioner unit 910 is installed on the side of the adjusting frame 510 away from the external wall 832, allowing the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 to press against the support base 520 and the external wall 832, thus ensuring the installation stability of the main support structure. Furthermore, this installation structure allows the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 to be at least partially hidden at the bottom of the window, preventing interference between the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 and the window, allowing the window to be opened normally, thus avoiding the impact of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910's installation on the window and ensuring the window's ventilation and light transmission effects.

[0158] Optionally, the bending portion 310 and the main frame 110 are arranged perpendicularly, and the adjusting bracket 510 and the support base 520 are also arranged perpendicularly, so that the main body of the bracket and the wall form a stable quadrilateral structure, which helps to ensure the stable placement of the outdoor unit 910. An adjustment position can also be provided between the main frame 110 and the adjusting bracket 510, so that the distance between the main frame 110 and the adjusting bracket 510 is adjustable, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation height of the outdoor unit 910. Optionally, the bending portion 310 and the main frame 110 are integrally formed, and the adjusting bracket 510 and the support base 520 are also integrally formed.

[0159] In this design, the first support frame is connected to the lower side of the first clamping portion 123, and the first connecting portion 124 is located on the upper side of the first clamping portion 123. That is, the lower side of the first clamping portion 123 is connected to the bending portion 310, which helps to reduce the installation height of the bending portion 310, thereby avoiding obstructing the window's opening path and accommodating outward-opening windows. The first connecting portion 124 is located on the upper side of the first clamping portion 123 and extends towards the second clamping member 122 for installation with it. Optionally, the bending portion 310 is integrally formed with the first clamping portion 123. Of course, in other embodiments, the first support frame is connected to the first connecting portion 124, and the first clamping portion 123 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 124 away from the first support frame.

[0160] Please refer to Figures 12 to 17. In another embodiment of this application, the bracket body includes a load-bearing bracket 117 and a support bracket 118 arranged at an angle. The load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the connecting structure 120 and extends out of the window in a first direction. The upper surface of the load-bearing bracket 117 is used for the installation of the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. The upper end of the support bracket 118 is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 117, and the lower end abuts against the external wall 832. The load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the first joint 124, and the first clamping part 123 is provided on the side of the first joint 124 away from the load-bearing bracket 117.

[0161] Specifically, the load-bearing bracket 117 is mainly used to support the weight of the entire outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. To ensure the structural strength of the load-bearing bracket 117 and reduce its weight, it typically includes multiple load-bearing arms spaced apart along a second direction and extending along a first direction, and multiple connecting arms spaced apart along the second direction. Each connecting arm connects to two load-bearing arms at its ends, resulting in a frame-like overall structure for the load-bearing bracket 117. The upper end of the support bracket 118 is connected to the lower surface of the load-bearing bracket 117, and the lower end abuts against the external wall 832. This means the support bracket 118 does not need a direct connection to the wall, thus avoiding damage to the wall and facilitating the installation of the bracket 10. At this point, the angle between the support bracket 118 and the load-bearing bracket 117 is less than 90°, forming a stable triangular structure between the external wall 832, the support bracket 118, and the load-bearing bracket 117, significantly increasing the support stability of the main body of the bracket. The load-bearing bracket 117 is provided with multiple adjustment positions arranged along the first direction. The upper end of the support bracket 118 is selectively installed on one of the multiple adjustment positions, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the included angle between the wall, the support bracket 118 and the load-bearing bracket 117, so that users can adjust the appropriate installation angle according to the actual wall conditions.

[0162] In this design, the load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the first connecting portion 124, and the first clamping portion 123 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 124 away from the load-bearing bracket 117. In this case, the first connecting portion 124 and the load-bearing bracket 117 are integrally formed, meaning that a portion of the structure of the load-bearing bracket 117 can be directly used as the first connecting portion 124. The first clamping portion 123 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 124 away from the load-bearing bracket 117, thus the first clamping portion 123 can be formed by bending the load-bearing bracket 117 near the second clamping member 122, thereby facilitating the processing of the first clamping member 121. Of course, in other embodiments, the load-bearing bracket 117 is connected to the lower side of the first clamping portion 123, and the first connecting portion 124 is located on the upper side of the first clamping portion 123. Furthermore, for ease of installation, the load-bearing bracket 117 is often equipped with a pre-installation position and a fixed position. The pre-installation position is used for pre-positioning the outdoor unit 910, and then the outdoor unit 910 is pushed or pulled along the first direction to slide to the fixed position, thereby fixing the outdoor unit 910 in place. Therefore, the side of the load-bearing bracket 117 away from the connecting structure 120 is often also equipped with a limiting bracket. When the outdoor unit 910 slides to the fixed position, the limiting bracket can limit the outdoor unit 910 to prevent it from sliding further. Therefore, the limiting bracket can protrude from the upper surface of the side of the load-bearing bracket 117 away from the connecting structure 120, so that when the outdoor unit 910 slides to the fixed position, the limiting bracket abuts against the side of the outdoor unit 910 away from the window, thereby facilitating the limiting bracket's positioning.

[0163] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 10 can install the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner onto the railing structure 820 of the house 831, thus providing a new installation scenario for the outdoor unit 910 to better meet the installation needs of different users. The mounting bracket 10 can also be manually installed onto the railing by the user, eliminating the need for a professional installer. The railing structure 820 is typically the railing structure 820 on the outside of the window 810, used to prevent children from falling from the windowsill. The railing structure 820 can also be the railing structure 820 on the balcony of the house 831.

[0164] Please refer to Figures 18 to 30. Specifically, the mounting bracket 10 includes:

[0165] The main frame 110 and the hanging bracket 400 bent and connected to the main frame 110 form a hanging channel 410 between the hanging bracket 400 and the main frame 110. The hanging channel 410 is used to allow the installation medium 800 to enter and is hung on the upper end of the guardrail structure 820; and

[0166] A limiting member 600 is installed in at least one of the hook bracket 400 and the main frame 110 to prevent the guardrail structure 820 from detaching from the hook channel 410.

[0167] Specifically, the mounting bracket 400 is bent and connected to the main frame 110, forming a mounting channel 410 between the mounting bracket 400 and the main frame 110. The mounting bracket 10 is hung on the guardrail structure 820 along the fourth direction Y, thus hanging the mounting channel 410 on the upper end of the guardrail structure 820, facilitating the installation of the mounting bracket 10 on the guardrail structure 820. However, after the mounting bracket 10 is hung on the guardrail structure 820, the mounting channel 410 still has considerable space for the guardrail structure 820 to move. Therefore, when encountering strong winds, the mounting bracket 10 is prone to swaying, causing the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 to fall, which is detrimental to the installation reliability of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910. Therefore, a limiting member 600 is provided. This limiting member 600 is located between the mounting bracket 400 and the main frame 110, and it can prevent the guardrail structure 820 from detaching from the mounting channel 410, thereby reducing the possibility of the mounting bracket 10 accidentally detaching.

[0168] Referring to Figure 18, the guardrail structure 820 is assumed to have a third direction X extending along its width and a fourth direction Y extending along its height. It should be noted that the fourth direction Y in this installation may not be vertical. For example, when the window 810 is a window 810 on the roof of a building 831, its outer guardrail structure may be inclined according to the shape of the roof, in which case the fourth direction Y is also inclined. This design also includes a fifth direction, which extends along the axial direction of the window; therefore, the fourth direction Y is generally perpendicular to the fifth direction.

[0169] To ensure the stable positioning of the limiting member, in one embodiment, the limiting member 600 is inserted through the hanging frame 400 or the main frame 110 and is used to abut against or penetrate the guardrail structure 820. Specifically, when the limiting member 600 is installed on the hook bracket 400 and abuts against the guardrail structure 820, the limiting member 600 can press the guardrail structure 820 against the main frame 110, thereby preventing the mounting bracket 10 from shifting through the pressing action; when the limiting member 600 is installed on the main frame 110 and abuts against the guardrail structure 820, the limiting member 600 can press the guardrail structure 820 against the hook bracket 400, thereby preventing the mounting bracket 10 from shifting through the pressing action; when the limiting member 600 penetrates into the guardrail structure 820, the main frame 110, the hook bracket 400 and the blocking limiting member 600 together form a closed triangular structure, thereby preventing the guardrail structure 820 from coming out.

[0170] Furthermore, the triangular structure formed by the main frame 110, the hanging bracket 400, and the limiting member 600 can also be non-closed. That is, the limiting member 600 can have a certain gap between itself and the hanging bracket 400, or between itself and the main frame 110. The width of this gap is usually smaller than the width of the upper side of the guardrail structure 820, thereby preventing the guardrail structure 820 from detaching from the hanging channel 410. In this case, the limiting member 600 can be installed only on the hanging bracket 400, or only on the main frame 110; or the limiting member 600 can be installed on both the hanging bracket 400 and the main frame 110. If the limiting member 600 is installed on both the hanging bracket 400 and the main frame 110, it can be installed retrofitted, that is, after the upper side of the guardrail structure 820 is hooked into the hanging channel 410, the limiting member 600 is then installed. The mounting bracket 400 and the main frame 110 can be integrally formed, thereby improving the strength of the mounting bracket 10 and the reliability of the connection. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 400 can also be welded, snap-fitted, or connected to the main frame 110 by fasteners such as screws.

[0171] It is understandable that the installation medium 800 can take many structural forms, including but not limited to houses that are fixed buildings or houses that can be used as vehicles. The support body 100 includes a main frame 110 and a mounting bracket 400 connected together. A mounting channel 410 is formed between the mounting bracket 400 and the main frame 110, which is used for the installation medium 800 to enter. It should be noted that the house has a window structure, which can be a window structure set on the sloping roof of the attic of the house, a window structure set on the exterior wall of a common house, or a window structure on a motorhome. As shown in Figures 31 and 32, the window structure includes a window frame 812 and a window door 811 set on the window frame 812. The window door 811 is used to open and close the window frame 812. The mounting bracket 400 is hung on the window sill 813 of the window frame 812, and the mounting channel 410 is used for the window sill 813 to enter. The window structure can also be a French window structure, with the mounting bracket 400 attaching to the railing of the French window structure, and the mounting channel 410 providing access for the railing. No restrictions are placed on the window structure here.

[0172] Please refer to Figures 33 and 34. After the mounting bracket 400 is attached to the mounting medium 800, the mounting channel 410 still has ample space for the mounting medium 800 to move. A limiting member 600 is provided on the mounting bracket 400; that is, the limiting member 600 and the main frame 110 are positioned opposite each other. This allows the limiting member 600 and the main frame 110 to work together to clamp the vertical bars of the wall or railing, thereby preventing relative movement between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800 and improving the connection stability between them. Thus, when encountering airflow, the mounting bracket 10 is less likely to shake, thereby preventing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from falling and reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0173] Please refer to Figure 35. In one embodiment, the limiting member 600 is installed on the hanger 400. The hanger 400 has a tension hole 451 on the side opposite to the main frame 100. The limiting member 600 includes a matching second bolt 611 and a second nut 612. The second nut 612 is located in the tension hole 451. The second bolt 611 is threaded to the second nut 612 from the side of the hanger 400 away from the main frame 110 and abuts against the mounting medium 800.

[0174] Specifically, the mounting bracket 400 is bent and connected to the main frame 110. The free end of the mounting bracket 400 is positioned opposite to the main frame 110. A tensioning hole 451 is provided near the free end of the mounting bracket 400, and a second nut 612 is installed within the tensioning hole 451. In one embodiment, the second nut 612 has a mounting ring groove that is embedded in the tensioning hole 451, such that the free end of the mounting bracket 400 is sandwiched between the opposite side walls of the mounting ring groove. Simultaneously, to prevent relative rotation between the second nut 612 and the tensioning hole 451, the tensioning hole 451 is non-circular. Correspondingly, the shape of the mounting ring groove of the second nut 612 is made to match the shape of the tensioning hole 451. In one embodiment, the tensioning hole 451 can be a regular hexagon, a regular square, an ellipse, etc., and the shape of the tensioning hole 451 is not limited here. The inner side of the second nut 612 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the second bolt 611. The second bolt 611 is provided with an external thread, and the hook bracket 400 passes through the threaded hole on the second nut 612 from the side away from the main frame 110, so that the second bolt 611 and the second nut 612 are threadedly connected.

[0175] Referring to Figure 33, after the bracket body 100 is attached to the mounting medium 800, there is still room for movement between the attachment channel 410 and the mounting medium 800; that is, the attachment bracket 400 and the mounting medium 800 are not in contact at this time. At this point, the second bolt 611 is screwed into the second nut 612. As the second bolt 611 is screwed in, it moves towards the mounting medium 800 until it abuts against the mounting medium 800. At this point, the side of the mounting medium 800 away from the second bolt 611 comes into contact with the main frame 110. Thus, the mounting medium 800 is clamped by the cooperation of the second bolt 611 and the main frame 110, preventing relative movement between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800 and improving the connection stability between them. Simultaneously, the cooperation of the second bolt 611 and the second nut 612 does not require additional holes in the mounting medium 800, which helps to prevent damage to the structure of the mounting medium 800.

[0176] However, this design is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the limiting member 600 can also be an expansion screw, which passes through the tension hole 451 and is embedded in the mounting medium 800, thus achieving clamping of the mounting medium 800. Here, the specific structure of the limiting member 600 is not limited.

[0177] Please refer to Figures 33 and 35. In the embodiments of this application, the limiting member 600 further includes an abutment plate 613, which is connected to one end of the second bolt 611 facing the main frame 110. The abutment plate 613 is used to abut against the mounting medium 800.

[0178] Specifically, the abutment plate 613 is installed at the end of the second bolt 611 facing the main frame 110 and can move with the movement of the second bolt 611. In one embodiment, the abutment plate 613 and the second bolt 611 are connected by a threaded engagement. It is understood that the second bolt 611 includes a main body section and a connecting section, both of which are provided with external threads. The outer diameter of the main body section is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting section. The connecting section is located on the side of the main body section facing the main frame 110. The main body section is used to mate with the second nut 612, and the connecting section is used to mate with the abutment plate 613. The abutment plate 613 has a through hole in its center, and the hole wall is threaded. The connecting section of the second bolt 611 is threadedly connected to the through hole of the abutment plate 613, thereby installing the abutment plate 613 on the second bolt 611 so that the abutment plate 613 moves with the movement of the second bolt 611. Thus, when the second bolt 611 is tightened, the abutment plate 613 abuts against the mounting medium 800. Thus, the setting of the abutment plate 613 increases the contact area with the installation medium 800, thereby further improving the connection stability between the bracket body 100 and the installation medium 800.

[0179] Referring to Figure 35, in this embodiment of the application, a flexible member 614 is also installed outside the abutment plate 613. Thus, with the flexible member 614 installed outside the abutment plate 613, when the second bolt 611 is tightened, the flexible member 614 will abut against the mounting medium 800. The flexible member 614 avoids contact noise between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800. Simultaneously, when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner vibrates during operation, the flexible member 614 can absorb some of the vibration, reducing the vibration transmitted to the mounting medium 800 via the mounting bracket 10, thereby reducing the operating noise of the air conditioner. In one embodiment, the flexible member 614 is configured as silicone, rubber, or the like.

[0180] In the embodiments of this application, the tensioning hole 451 protrudes towards the main frame 110. This protrusion of the tensioning hole 451 increases the structural strength of the hanger 400, prevents damage to the periphery of the tensioning hole 451 under external forces, and also facilitates the positioning of the second bolt 611 and the second nut 612 during installation.

[0181] In the embodiments of this application, multiple limiting members 600 are provided, and the multiple limiting members 600 are spaced apart along the length of the hanging bracket 400. This further improves the connection stability between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800. In the scheme shown in the figures of this application, two limiting members 600 are provided, and correspondingly, two tensioning holes 451 are also provided, with one limiting member 600 corresponding to one tensioning hole 451. This ensures the connection stability between the bracket body 100 and the mounting medium 800 while avoiding the cumbersome installation of the bracket body 100 caused by too many limiting members 600.

[0182] Referring to Figure 35, in the embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket 400 is provided with reinforcing ribs 452. It is understood that the mounting bracket 400 is bent and connected to the main frame 110, so that at least a portion of the mounting bracket 400 is positioned opposite the main frame 110 to form a mounting channel 410 between them. To ensure the structural strength of the bent mounting bracket 400, reinforcing ribs 452 are provided on the mounting bracket 400. In one embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 452 extend from one end near the main frame 110 to one free end on the mounting bracket 400, and multiple reinforcing ribs 452 are spaced apart in the width direction of the mounting bracket 400, thereby further improving the overall structural strength of the bracket body 100 and reducing the possibility of the outdoor air conditioning unit falling.

[0183] Please refer to Figures 34 and 35. In the embodiments of this application, the bracket body 100 further includes an installation rope 340. The main frame 110 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 112, and the hanging bracket 400 is provided with a clearance notch 453. One end of the installation rope 340 is connected to the fourth connecting hole 112, and the other end passes through the hanging channel 410 and the clearance notch 453 in sequence and is connected to a fixed position. The installation medium 800 includes a railing, the hanging channel 410 is hung on the railing, and the installation rope 340 passes below the upper horizontal bar of the railing. It is understood that in order to prevent the bracket body 100 and the mounting bracket 10 from falling, the bracket body 100 is also provided with an installation rope 340. In one embodiment, the installation medium 800 is configured as a French window structure, and the bracket body 100 is hung on the railing of the French window, with the railing entering the hanging channel 410. The railing includes multiple spaced vertical bars and an upper horizontal bar, and the upper ends of the multiple vertical bars are respectively connected to the upper horizontal bar. One end of the installation rope 340 is connected to the fourth connecting hole 112, and the other end passes through the hanging channel 410, the clearance notch 453, and the bottom of the upper crossbar in sequence, entering the room and being fixed. The fixing point can be the indoor unit of the air conditioner located inside the house, or other items in the room, as long as the installation rope 340 can be fixed. In this way, the installation rope 340 can be set up to catch the bracket body 100 in time if it accidentally falls during the installation process, so as to avoid the injury caused by it; at the same time, it can also prevent the bracket body 100 from falling due to improper installation. The installation rope 340 improves the safety of the bracket body 100 and the mounting bracket 10.

[0184] Please refer to Figures 34 and 35. In the embodiments of this application, the bracket body 100 also includes an installation rope 340. The hanging bracket 400 is provided with a fourth connection hole 454 on the side opposite to the main frame 110. One end of the installation rope 340 is connected to the fourth connection hole 454, and the other end is connected to a fixed position.

[0185] Understandably, in one embodiment, when the mounting medium 800 is a window structure with a window frame 812 and a window door 811, the mounting rope 340 can also prevent the bracket body 100 and the mounting bracket 10 from falling. The hanging bracket 400 has a fourth connecting hole 454 on its side opposite to the main frame 110. One end of the mounting rope 340 is connected to the fourth connecting hole 454, and the other end enters the room and is fixed. The fixing point can be an indoor air conditioning unit located inside the house, or other items in the room, as long as the mounting rope 340 can be fixed. Thus, the mounting rope 340 can promptly catch the bracket body 100 if it accidentally falls during installation, preventing injury; at the same time, it can also prevent the bracket body 100 from falling due to improper installation. The mounting rope 340 improves the safety of the bracket body 100 and the mounting bracket 10.

[0186] In one embodiment, the bracket body 100 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 112, a clearance notch 453, and a fourth connecting hole 454, so that the bracket body 100 can improve the safety of use of the bracket body 100 by means of the installation rope 340, whether it is installed in a French window structure or a window structure with a window frame 812 and a window door 811, thereby improving the applicability of the bracket body 100.

[0187] Please refer to Figures 36 to 38. In one embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket 10 includes an adapter frame 530. The adapter frame 530 includes an adapter body 534, a fixing component 5341 and a pre-positioning structure 5344 respectively disposed on the adapter body 534. The fixing component 5341 is used to fix to the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner, and the pre-positioning structure 5344 is used to contact the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner and provide positioning for the fixing component 5341.

[0188] Understandably, the adapter bracket 530 is equipped with a fixing component 5341 for fixing to the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. Correspondingly, the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner is equipped with an adapter structure to cooperate with the fixing component 5341 to fix the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910 together. When connecting the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910, the pre-positioning structure 5344 is first brought into contact with the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. At this time, the fixing component 5341 on the adapter bracket 530 and the adapter structure on the outdoor unit 910 are perfectly aligned. Then, the fixing component 5341 and the adapter structure are connected, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910. In this way, the pre-positioning structure 5344 on the adapter bracket 530 provides precise positioning for the connection between the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910, avoiding alignment failures caused by external forces during the connection process, and improving the convenience of connecting the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910.

[0189] Furthermore, it is understandable that in existing technologies, when connecting the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910, the installer typically needs to hold the adapter bracket 530 with one hand and connect the outdoor unit 910 to the adapter bracket 530 with the other hand, or one person holds the adapter bracket 530 while another person connects the outdoor unit to the adapter bracket 530. This connection method is quite strenuous. The pre-positioning structure 5344 reduces the number of installers required, and also eliminates the need to carry the heavy adapter bracket 530 during installation. One person can simply hold the adapter bracket 530 down with one hand while the other installs it, thus saving installation effort and improving installation efficiency.

[0190] Please refer to Figure 38. In an embodiment of this application, the pre-positioning structure 5344 includes a positioning flange 5345 extending toward the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. The positioning flange 5345 is used to overlap the grille 911 of the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner.

[0191] Understandably, the adapter bracket 530 is generally configured as a sheet metal part, which helps to ensure the structural strength of the adapter bracket 530, thereby ensuring the installation stability and reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 910. The pre-positioning structure 5344 is configured as a positioning flange 5345, which extends towards the air conditioner outdoor unit 910 and can overlap the grille 911 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 910. Thus, when connecting the adapter bracket 530 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 910, the positioning flange 5345 of the adapter bracket 530 is first overlapped on the upper surface of the grille 911 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 910, and then the adapter bracket 530 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 910 are fixed. The setting of the positioning flange 5345 improves the connection convenience of the adapter bracket 530, and at the same time, the air conditioner outdoor unit 910 does not need to be equipped with additional accessories that match the positioning flange 5345, avoiding modifications to the air conditioner outdoor unit 910.

[0192] In one embodiment, the positioning flange 5345 and the adapter body 534 are an integral structure, which is beneficial to the overall structural strength of the adapter frame 530. It is understood that the positioning flange 5345 has a certain length along its extension direction, and the grille 911 of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 has a certain thickness. In one embodiment, the length of the positioning flange 5345 is less than or equal to the thickness of the grille 911. This facilitates a closer fit between the adapter frame 530 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 910, improving the reliability of their connection.

[0193] However, this is not the only possibility. In other embodiments, the pre-positioning structure 5344 can also be a positioning bolt or a positioning hole, with a corresponding positioning hole or positioning bolt provided on the outdoor unit 910. When connecting the adapter frame 530 and the outdoor unit 910, the positioning bolt is first inserted into the positioning hole, which also provides positioning for the fixing component 5341. Referring to Figure 38, in the embodiments of this application, multiple positioning flanges 5345 are provided, and the multiple positioning flanges 5345 are spaced apart along the width direction of the adapter frame 530. Thus, the arrangement of multiple positioning flanges 5345 is beneficial to the positioning stability of the adapter frame 530 and the outdoor unit 910, and avoids the rotation of the adapter frame 530 relative to the outdoor unit 910. In the scheme shown in the figures of this application, two positioning flanges 5345 are provided, and the two positioning flanges 5345 overlap the upper surface of the same grille 911, which is beneficial to the overlapping and positioning of the positioning flanges 5345. In other embodiments, multiple positioning flanges 5345 may be respectively attached to different grilles 911, which is not limited here.

[0194] Referring to Figure 38, in the embodiment of this application, the adapter frame 530 has a clearance opening 531 at the positioning flange 5345. This clearance opening 531 facilitates observation of whether the positioning flange 5345 is properly aligned, which is beneficial for calibrating the relative position of the pre-positioning structure 5344 and the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. Simultaneously, the clearance opening 531 also contributes to the lightweight design of the adapter frame 530.

[0195] Referring to Figures 38 and 39, in the embodiments of this application, the fixing component 5341 includes a bolt-locking structure. Thus, employing a common bolt-locking structure helps reduce the operational difficulty of the fixing component 5341 and improves the assembly friendliness of the adapter frame 530.

[0196] Referring to Figures 38 and 39, in an embodiment of this application, the bolt-locking structure includes a first mounting hole 5342 and a first bolt 5343 on the adapter frame 530. The outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner has a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole 5342. The first bolt 5343 passes through the first mounting hole 5342 and the second mounting hole in sequence to fix the adapter frame 530 to the outdoor unit 910. In one embodiment, the first bolt 5343 is configured to be hand-tightened, allowing the installer to operate by hand without the need for installation tools, thus improving the ease of connection between the adapter frame 530 and the outdoor unit 910. In one embodiment, multiple bolt-locking structures are provided, which helps to improve the connection stability and reliability between the adapter frame 530 and the outdoor unit 910.

[0197] In embodiments of this application, the fixing component 5341 further includes a snap-fit ​​structure. This snap-fit ​​structure reduces the number of bolt-locking structures required, thereby reducing the locking time of the first bolt 5343 and improving the connection efficiency between the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor air conditioner unit 910. In one embodiment, two snap-fit ​​structures and two bolt-locking structures are provided, which ensures both connection stability of the adapter bracket 530 and simplifies the connection operation. In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure is configured as any one of a buckle, hook, or slot; correspondingly, the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 has a structure adapted to the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​between the two.

[0198] Referring to Figure 37, it is understandable that the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner requires a large amount of air intake during operation. The adapter bracket 530 is connected to the outdoor unit 910. To avoid the adapter bracket 530 affecting the air intake of the outdoor unit 910, multiple air passage holes 535 are provided on the opposite end faces of the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910. The air passage holes 535 reduce the obstruction area of ​​the outdoor unit 910 by the adapter bracket 530, ensuring the air intake of the outdoor unit 910. A crossbeam 536 is formed between two adjacent air passage holes 535. The crossbeam 536 helps to strengthen the structural strength of the adapter bracket 530. After the outdoor unit 910 and the adapter bracket 530 are connected, the crossbeam 536 coincides with the grille 911 of the outdoor unit 910. In one embodiment, the projection of the crossbeam 536 is equal in size and overlaps with the projection of the grille 911; in another embodiment, the projection of the crossbeam 536 is located on the grille 911, and the projection of the crossbeam 536 is smaller than the projection of the grille 911; in yet another embodiment, the projection of the grille 911 is located on the crossbeam 536, and the projection of the grille 911 is smaller than the projection of the crossbeam 536. This further reduces obstruction of the air intake, ensuring the airflow to the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner, thereby guaranteeing the working effect of the air conditioner.

[0199] Please refer to Figure 39. In the embodiments of this application, the adapter 530 also includes a safety rope. The adapter 530 is provided with a sixth connection hole 532. One end of the safety rope is connected to the sixth connection hole 532, and the other end is connected to a fixed position.

[0200] Understandably, the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner is connected to the installation medium via the mounting bracket 10. The mounting bracket 10 includes an adapter bracket 530, a connecting structure 120, and a load-bearing frame 500. The adapter bracket 530 is connected to the outdoor unit 910, the connecting structure 120 is connected to the installation medium, and the load-bearing frame 500 connects the adapter bracket 530 and the connecting structure 120. The installation medium can take many structural forms, including but not limited to houses in fixed buildings and houses in motorhomes that can be used as vehicles. It should be noted that the house has a window structure, which can be a window structure installed on the sloping roof of a house's attic, a window structure installed on the exterior wall of a common house, or a window structure on a motorhome. In one embodiment, the window structure includes a window frame and a window door installed on the window frame. The window door is used to open and close the window frame, and the connecting structure 120 is hung on the windowsill of the window frame. In another embodiment, the window structure can also be a French window structure, and the connecting structure 120 can be hung on the railing of the French window structure. In yet another embodiment, a placement platform may also be provided outside the window structure. No restrictions are placed on the window structure here.

[0201] Understandably, due to different installation environments, the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner can be hung on the installation medium or placed directly on the placement platform or the ground of the installation medium. When the outdoor unit 910 can be placed directly on the placement platform or the ground, the connecting structure 120 and the load-bearing frame 500 can be omitted, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the outdoor unit 910 and the mounting bracket 10. In addition, by making the adapter bracket 530 detachably connected to the connecting structure 120 and the load-bearing frame 500, the mounting bracket 10 can meet different installation needs. Meanwhile, by setting up the adapter bracket 530, the adapter bracket 530 can be directly connected to the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. The adapter bracket 530 is detachably connected to the connecting structure 120 and the load-bearing frame 500, which avoids the direct detachable connection between the connecting structure 120, the load-bearing frame 500 and the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. This avoids scratching the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner during the detachable connection process and avoids damage or even destruction to the appearance of the plastic shell of the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner when it comes into contact with the installation medium.

[0202] When the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner can be placed directly on the mounting platform, a safety rope is installed on the adapter bracket 530 to prevent the outdoor unit 910 from falling due to factors such as wind and waves. Specifically, the adapter bracket 530 has a sixth connection hole 532. One end of the safety rope is connected to the sixth connection hole 532, and the other end enters the room and is connected to a fixed position. The fixed position can be the indoor unit of the air conditioner located inside the house, or other fixed objects inside the room, as long as the safety rope can be secured. In this way, the safety rope can be used to catch the adapter bracket in time if the adapter bracket 530 and the outdoor unit 910 accidentally fall during the placement process, so as to avoid the injury caused by this. At the same time, it can also prevent the adapter bracket and the outdoor unit 910 from falling due to factors such as wind and waves. The safety rope improves the safety of the adapter bracket 530 and the mounting bracket 10.

[0203] Referring to Figure 39, in the embodiment of this application, the adapter bracket 530 is provided with a clearance protrusion 533 at the sixth connecting hole 532. The clearance protrusion 533 is used for the safety rope to pass through. The clearance protrusion 533 facilitates the connection between the safety rope and the sixth connecting hole 532, and also avoids friction between the safety rope and the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. It is understandable that the existing solution relies on the inclined wall of the building to support the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket is limited by the inclination of the wall and the weight of the entire unit. That is to say, the load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket is proportional to the inclination of the wall. If the verticality of the wall is higher and the inclination is smaller, the load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket will be relatively lower, resulting in a relatively low reliability of the mounting bracket.

[0204] Please refer to Figures 40, 47, and 49. The mounting medium 800 includes a window structure 801. In one embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket 10 includes a fixing structure 320 and a bracket body 100. The bracket body 100 includes a connecting structure 120 fixed to the window structure 801 via the fixing structure 320. It should be noted that the connecting structure 120 is fixed to the window structure 801 via the fixing structure 320. In some embodiments, the fixing structure 320 can be a screw, meaning the connecting structure 120 is fixed to the window structure 801 by screws. In other embodiments, the fixing structure 320 can also be a mounting base. Specifically, the mounting base is fixed to the window structure 801, and the connecting structure 120 is fixed to the fixing structure 320. The connecting structure 120 can be fixed to the fixing structure 320 by a detachable method such as screw fastening. The bracket body 100 also includes a load-bearing frame 500 connecting the connecting structure 120. It should be noted that the load-bearing frame 500 is fixed to the connecting structure 120. In some embodiments, the load-bearing frame 500 and the connecting structure 120 can be fixed together by integral molding.

[0205] Furthermore, the load-bearing frame 500 is provided with a mounting position for connecting the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner, that is, the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner is installed on the load-bearing frame 500. The connecting structure 120 extends along the seventh direction. It should be noted that if the connecting structure 120 is installed on the window structure 801, the seventh direction is nearly parallel to the windowsill 814 surface of the window structure 801. The load-bearing frame 500 extends along the eighth direction, wherein the seventh direction and the eighth direction have a preset tilt angle α (see Figure 40). The preset tilt angle α is greater than 90°. The preset tilt angle α causes the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner connected to the load-bearing frame 500 to tilt toward the fixed structure 320. It should be noted that since the fixed structure 320 is fixed to the window structure 801, the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner tilts toward the fixed structure 320, that is, tilts toward the window structure 801. It can also be understood as the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner tilting toward the window structure 801. The outdoor unit 910 is tilted towards the wall of the house. Specifically, when the connecting structure 120 is installed on the window structure 801, the load-bearing frame 500 is located on one side of the wall. If the wall is vertical, under the action of the preset tilt angle α, the load-bearing frame 500 can tilt towards the wall, rather than being parallel to it. Because the load-bearing frame 500 is tilted towards the wall, the outdoor unit 910 is also tilted towards the wall, thus achieving the purpose of tilting the outdoor unit 910 towards the window structure 801 or the fixed structure 320. At this time, the self-weight of the outdoor unit 910 will generate a component force that is transmitted to the wall through the load-bearing frame 500, reducing the load borne by the mounting bracket 10, thereby enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity and solving the technical problems existing in the prior art. At the same time, because the outdoor unit 910 is tilted towards the wall, the center of gravity of the outdoor unit 910 moves towards the wall, which can reduce the possibility of the outdoor unit 910 overturning due to external factors, further improving the stability and safety of the installation.

[0206] In one embodiment, the preset tilt angle α is 100°-105°, where the preset tilt angle α can be 100°, 101°, 102°, 103°, 104°, or 105°. It should be noted that if the connecting structure 120 is installed on the window structure 801 and the building wall is vertical, the tilt angle b between the eighth direction and the building wall (see Figures 47 and 49) is 10°-15°. It is understood that a moderate tilt angle allows the outdoor unit 910 to tilt slightly inward, thus reducing the risk of the outdoor unit 910 flipping outward due to external forces (such as wind or vibration). It should be noted that if the preset tilt angle α is less than 100°, that is, the tilt angle b between the eighth direction and the building wall is less than 10°, the weight of the outdoor unit 910 will mainly depend on the mounting bracket, thus requiring the mounting bracket 10 to bear a greater load. If the preset tilt angle a is greater than 105°, that is, the tilt angle b between the eighth direction and the house wall is greater than 15°, the larger tilt angle will cause greater shear force and bending moment between the load-bearing frame 500 and the connecting structure 120, which is likely to form stress concentration points in some key parts, thereby affecting the reliability of the entire structure.

[0207] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 40 and 44, unlike the above-mentioned direct installation of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 at the mounting position, the mounting bracket 10 further includes an adapter bracket 530, which is used to connect the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 and is installed at the mounting position. That is, in this embodiment, the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 is installed at the mounting position through the adapter bracket 530. The outdoor air conditioner unit 910 is installed on the adapter bracket 530 by screw fastening. The adapter bracket 530 has a pre-installation position. Furthermore, the adapter bracket 530 and the mounting position are detachably connected. The adapter bracket 530 can be connected to the load-bearing frame 500 by plugging, hanging, or other methods, and finally fixed to the load-bearing frame 500 by fasteners. This facilitates user installation.

[0208] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 40 and 43, the mounting bracket 10 further includes a detachable structure 700. The adapter frame 530 is fixed to the connecting structure 120 via the detachable structure 700. That is, after the adapter frame 530 is connected to the load-bearing frame 500, it can be fixed to the connecting structure 120 via the detachable structure 700, thereby fixing the adapter frame 530 to the load-bearing frame 500. Simultaneously, when the adapter frame 530 tends to tilt away from the fixed structure 320, the detachable structure 700 can... The detachable structure 700 tends to pull the adapter bracket 530 towards the connecting structure 120; that is, the detachable structure 700 also tends to pull the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 installed on the adapter bracket 530 towards the connecting structure 120. Furthermore, the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 has a top and a bottom relative to the connecting structure 120. When the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 is installed on the adapter bracket 530, the top of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 is closer to the connecting structure 120, and the detachable structure 700 tends to pull the top of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 towards the connecting structure 120. Moreover, under the action of the detachable structure 700, the weight of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 can be transferred to the connecting structure 120 through the detachable structure 700, and then transferred to the window structure 801 through the connecting structure 120, effectively distributing the weight of the outdoor air conditioner unit 910.

[0209] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 40, 43, and 44, the detachable structure 700 includes a fixing plate 710. The adapter frame 530 and the connecting structure 120 are both detachably connected to the fixing plate 710. The fixing plate 710 and the adapter frame 530 can be connected by screws, and the fixing plate 710 and the connecting structure 120 can also be connected by screws. Further, in some embodiments, the fixing plate 710 includes a first mounting portion 711, a connecting portion 712, and a second mounting portion 713. The connecting portion 712 connects the first mounting portion 711 and the second mounting portion 713. The first mounting portion 711 is connected to the adapter frame 530 by screws, and the second mounting portion 713 is connected to the connecting structure 120 by screws. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first mounting part 711 is disposed on the side of the adapter frame 530 near the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. It should be noted that when the first mounting part 711 is disposed on the side of the adapter frame 530 near the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner, when the fixing plate 710 pulls the adapter frame 530 toward the connecting structure 120, part of the pulling force of the fixing plate 710 acts on the adapter frame 530, and the other part acts on the screws connecting the fixing plate 710 and the adapter frame 530, thus relatively reducing the load on the screws. Of course, in some embodiments, the first mounting part 711 can also be disposed on the side of the adapter frame 530 away from the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner. It should be noted that in this case, when the fixing plate 710 pulls the adapter frame 530 toward the connecting structure 120, the pulling force of the fixing plate 710 is transmitted to the adapter frame 530 through the connecting screws. That is to say, the pulling force of the fixing plate 710 will all act on the connecting screws, and the screws will be subjected to a larger load.

[0210] In one embodiment, unlike the above-described connection of the adapter frame 530 and connecting structure 120 via a fixing plate 710, the detachable structure 700 includes a bolt (not shown). The bolt passes through the adapter frame 530 and is fixed to the connecting structure 120. In some embodiments, the connecting structure 120 has a threaded hole for connecting the bolt, allowing the bolt to be connected to the threaded hole for fixation to the connecting structure 120. In other embodiments, the connecting structure 120 has a through hole through which the bolt passes and connects to a nut, achieving fixation to the connecting structure 120 through the engagement with the nut. However, this design is not limited to these embodiments. In some embodiments, the detachable structure can also be a steel wire rope, which is detachably connected to the adapter frame 530 and connecting structure 120. The steel wire rope can be connected to the adapter frame 530 and connecting structure 120 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0211] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 41 and 42, one of the load-bearing frame 500 and the adapter frame 530 is provided with a first guide groove 114 and a stop portion 512. The first guide groove 114 extends along the eighth direction and is used for the other to slide into. The stop portion 512 is used to stop the adapter frame 530 so that the adapter frame 530 is located in the mounting position. Further, in some embodiments, the first guide groove 114 and the stop portion 512 are... The adapter bracket 530 is installed on the load-bearing frame 500. During installation, it is inserted into the first guide groove 114 and slides along the first guide groove 114, abutting against the stop part 512. Then, the adapter bracket 530 is fixed to the connecting structure 120 through the detachable structure 700. In this way, the adapter bracket 530 can be fixed on the load-bearing frame 500. Furthermore, before installing the adapter bracket 530 on the load-bearing frame 500, the user needs to install the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 on the adapter bracket 530. It should be noted that the load-bearing frame 500 and the mounting bracket adopt a sliding installation method, which can improve the efficiency of the user connecting the outdoor air conditioner unit 910 to the window structure 801 through the mounting bracket 10. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first guide groove 114 and the stop part 512 can be provided on the adapter frame 530. In this way, during installation, the load-bearing frame 500 is inserted into the first guide groove 114 of the adapter frame 530 and abuts against the stop part 512. Then the adapter frame 530 is fixed to the connecting structure 120 through the detachable structure 700.

[0212] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 41 and 42, the first guide groove 114 has outwardly folded guide portions 115 on both sides of its opening. Specifically, the first guide groove 114 is located on the support frame 500. Before the adapter frame 530 slides into the first guide groove 114, the guide portions 115 can guide the adapter frame 530. Under the guidance, the user does not need to achieve a high alignment accuracy between the adapter frame 530 and the first guide groove 114 during installation, which reduces the difficulty of installation for the customer. Further, in some embodiments, the first guide groove 114 includes a first groove sidewall and a second groove sidewall, wherein both the first groove sidewall and the second groove sidewall are folded outward near the opening to form the guide portions 115. This allows for a smooth transition between the guide portions 115 and the first guide groove 114, enabling the adapter frame 530 to be stably inserted into the first guide groove 114.

[0213] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 41 and 42, the load-bearing frame 500 includes a main frame 110 connected to the connecting structure 120 and an adjusting frame 510 connected to the main frame 110. The adjusting frame 510 can be adjusted in position to be connected to the main frame 110 along the direction from the mounting position to the connecting structure 120. A stop portion 512 is provided on the adjusting frame 510, and a first guide groove 114 is provided on the main frame 110. The position of the stop portion 512 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting frame 510. The stop portion 512 is configured as a screw and nut assembly, which is fixed to the adjusting frame 510.

[0214] It is understood that, in the direction from the mounting position to the connecting structure 120, the main frame 110 is provided with multiple second adjustment positions 113 for the adjustment bracket 510 to be installed in, thereby adjusting the distance between the mounting position and the connecting structure 120. Thus, in environments with high airflow intensity where the installation medium is located, the user can select a second adjustment position 113 closer to the connecting structure 120 for the adjustment bracket 510 to be installed, thereby reducing the distance between the mounting position and the connecting structure 120. For ease of explanation, a first integral unit including the mounting bracket 10 and the outdoor air conditioning unit 910 is defined. This shortens the distance between the center of gravity of the first integral unit and the connecting structure 120, weakening the impact of airflow on the first integral unit, thereby improving the connection stability between the connecting structure 120 and the installation medium. It should be specifically noted that the term "multiple" in this document refers to at least two.

[0215] In one embodiment, referring to FIG41, the adjustment frame 510 is provided with an adjustment groove 511 that slides with the main frame 110, and the adjustment groove 511 extends along the eighth direction. This facilitates the adjustment of the length of the load-bearing frame 500.

[0216] In one embodiment, one of the fixing structure 320 and the connecting structure 120 is provided with a plurality of first adjustment positions 330 in the seventh direction for the other to be installed. It is understood that when the fixing structure 320 is fixed on the window structure 801, the connecting structure 120 can adjust its installation position under the action of the plurality of adjustment positions, thereby making the connecting structure 120 have multiple installation positions, thereby improving the applicability of the connecting mechanism.

[0217] In one embodiment, referring to FIG40, the connecting structure 120 is provided with a connecting surface near the window structure 801, and the connecting surface is recessed with a track 128. A plurality of first adjustment positions 330 are arranged along the seventh direction on the track 128. The fixing structure 320 is provided with a protrusion 324 that cooperates with the track 128. It should be noted that when the connecting structure 120 is connected to the fixing structure 320, the protrusion 324 is inserted into the track 128. Under the action of the protrusion 324 and the track 128, an additional constraint is provided between the connecting structure 120 and the fixing structure 320, which can further improve the stability between the connecting structure 120 and the fixing structure 320.

[0218] In one embodiment, referring to FIG40, the first adjustment position 330 is configured as a connection hole, and the connection structure 120 and the fixing structure 320 are connected by screw fastening. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the connection structure 120, the screw can be unlocked and the position of the connection structure 120 can be adjusted. After the position of the connection structure 120 is adjusted properly, the fixing structure 320 is connected to the corresponding connection hole by screws. This method can facilitate user installation and adjustment.

[0219] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 45, the fixing structure 320 is fixed to the windowsill 814 of the window structure 801 by screws. It should be noted that if the wall is thick, the thickness of the window structure 801 will also increase. In this case, the mounting bracket 10 in the prior art is inconvenient to install at the window structure 801. Since the fixing structure 320 in this embodiment is fixed to the windowsill 814 of the window structure 801 by screws, the increase in the thickness of the window structure 801 does not affect the installation of the fixing structure 320, further improving the applicability of the mounting bracket 10. Furthermore, by adjusting the installation position of the fixing structure 320 on the windowsill 814, the distance between the fixing structure 320 and the load-bearing frame 500 can be shortened.

[0220] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 40 and 47, the mounting bracket 10 further includes a support base 520 disposed on the load-bearing frame 500. One end of the support base 520, away from the load-bearing frame 500, is used to abut against the house. Furthermore, the support base 520 and the adjusting frame 510 are integrally formed. Thus, the connection between the support base 520 and the adjusting frame 510 is relatively stable. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the support base 520 and the adjusting frame 510 are rotatably connected.

[0221] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner is relatively light and its installation on the load-bearing frame 500 does not cause deformation between the load-bearing frame 500 and the connecting structure 120, the load-bearing frame 500 may not require a support base 520. When the outdoor unit 910 of the air conditioner is relatively heavy and the load-bearing frame 500 cannot provide effective support for the outdoor unit after installation, a support base 520 may be added, or diagonal braces, reinforcing ribs, or ribs may be added between the connecting structure 120 and the load-bearing frame 500.

[0222] In one embodiment, referring to FIG40, the mounting bracket 10 further includes a buffer pad 521, through which the support base 520 abuts against the house. This reduces the risk of damage to the house from the mounting bracket 10.

[0223] In one embodiment, the buffer pad 521 is configured as a rubber pad. Thus, the buffer pad 521 not only reduces the damage to the house caused by the mounting bracket 10, but also increases the friction between the mounting bracket 10 and the house, which helps improve the connection stability between the mounting bracket 10 and the house. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the buffer pad 521 can also be configured as a silicone pad.

[0224] This application also proposes an air conditioner, referring to Figures 46 to 49, which includes an outdoor unit 910. The specific structure of the outdoor unit 910 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The mounting position of the mounting bracket 10 is used to connect to the outdoor unit 910.

[0225] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes an indoor unit and a flexible connection assembly. The flexible connection assembly connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 910. This air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that facilitates individual installation by the user. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 910, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the device leaves the factory. Thus, when the user installs the device themselves, they only need to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 910 separately, without needing to install refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation.

[0226] In some embodiments, the air conditioner compressor is located in the indoor unit, which reduces the weight that the mounting bracket 10 needs to bear, thereby reducing the risk of the mounting bracket 10 falling off.
