Window Air Conditioner Mounting Bracket with Adjustable Wall Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of window air conditioners is challenging due to the outdoor inclined support being located outdoors, making it difficult to install the upper end of the outdoor inclined support and the support platform on the side of the wall.
Innovation Solution
A mounting bracket with a support body, support leg, and support foot that allows for flexible adjustment and secure attachment to the wall, featuring adjustable mounting holes and a fastener system for easy installation and enhanced stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the outdoor inclined support is located outdoors with the upper end connected to the support platform on the side of the wall, then the window air conditioner can be supported, but the installation becomes difficult due to limited access from the side
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket inverts the traditional support structure by positioning the support leg extending outward from the wall rather than connecting from the side. The upper end of the support leg connects to the support platform facing the wall, while the lower end with support foot contacts the wall surface, allowing installation from the front rather than the side.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket changes the installation dimension by transitioning from side-wall connection to front-wall connection. The support leg extends perpendicular to the wall surface, creating a new spatial arrangement that allows installers to access and secure the bracket from the front of the wall rather than requiring side access.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the support leg is fixedly connected to the support body, then the structure is stable, but the installation flexibility and adjustability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket employs a dynamic connection system where the support leg can be adjusted to different positions along the support body before being secured. The connection allows for movement and adjustment during installation, then provides firm fixation once positioned, combining flexibility during installation with stability during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The support leg is divided into multiple segments or positioning points along its length, allowing it to be connected to the support body at different locations. This segmentation enables adjustment of the support leg's position and angle, providing installation flexibility while maintaining structural integrity through secure connection at the chosen position.

AI summary
A mounting bracket for a window air conditioner includes a support body, a support leg and a support foot. One end of support leg is connected to the support body. The support foot is connected to the other end of the support leg, and the support foot is configured to be supported by the wall. The top surface of the support body is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes, and the plurality of first mounting holes are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the support body. Each of the plurality of first mounting holes penetrates the bottom surface of the support body from the top surface of the support body. A fastener passes through one of the plurality of first mounting holes from top to bottom to be detachably connected to the support body.
