The present application provides a mounting bracket 100.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 8 to FIG. 12, in an embodiment of the present application, the mounting bracket 100 includes a fixation frame 10, a support frame 30 and a machine body shelf 40. The fixation frame 10 is provided with a clamp groove 101 that runs through both ends, the clamp groove 101 is clamped to the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300 through two opposite sidewalls, the sidewall is provided with a fixation hole 102 for the fastener 20 to pass through, and the fixation frame 10 is locked to the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300 through the fastener 20. The support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the fixation frame 10, and the support frame 30 abuts against the support surface 400 in the mounting environment. The machine body shelf 40 is connected to the support frame 30, and the machine body shelf 40 is configured to put the air conditioner.

Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 is configured for the installation of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner includes but is not limited to the air conditioner outdoor unit 500, the air conditioner indoor unit or the air conditioner integrated unit. The following mainly takes the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 500 through the mounting bracket 100 as an example for explanation. In actual use, depending on the mounting environment, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300 through the fastener 20. Depending on the mounting environment, the support surface 400 for the support frame 30 to abut against in the mounting environment is also different. For example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, under normal circumstances, the window of the wall 600 is provided with a window frame 200, and a windowsill extending outward is formed below the wall 600 corresponding to the window. At this time, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the window frame 200, the support frame 30 abuts against the surface of the windowsill, and the surface of the windowsill is the support surface 400. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, for a double window structure, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the upper window frame 200, and the support frame 30 can abut against the window frame 200 or the glass of the lower window. At this time, the window frame 200 or the glass of the lower window is the support surface 400. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, for the attic of an European family, the window is usually opened on the inclined roof wall, and there is no external window frame structure, but the entire windowsill 300 is configured to protrude from the roof wall. The fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the windowsill 300, and the support frame 30 can abut against the outer wall of the roof. At this time, the outer wall of the roof is the support surface 400.

The fixation frame 10 extends along the length direction of the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300. The fixation frame 10 is provided with a clamp groove 101 that runs through both ends. The clamp groove 101 is provided with two opposite sidewalls and a top groove wall connected to the two sidewalls, so that the cross section of the fixation frame 10 is a “U”-shaped structure, so as to be clamped to the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300. The sidewall of the clamp groove 101 is provided with a fixation hole 102. The number of the fixation holes 102 can be set according to actual needs. In order to ensure the installation reliability, a plurality of fixation holes 102 are usually provided, and the number of fasteners 20 is adapted to the number of fixation holes 102. The fixation hole 102 can be a threaded hole, and the fastener 20 can be a fasten screw rod adapted to the threaded hole. During assembly, the fixation frame 10 is clamped to the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300 through the clamp groove 101, and the fastener 20 is tightened through the fixation hole 102 and pressed against the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300, so that the fixation frame 10 can be locked and fixed, and the operation is simple and convenient. One side of the support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the fixation frame 10, and the other side of the support frame 30 can be flipped relative to the fixation frame 10, so as to adapt to the support surface 400 in different mounting environments. The support frame 30 and the fixation frame 10 are assembled before the purchases, and the user does not need to install them by himself when using them. After the fixation frame 10 is installed, the machine body shelf 40 can be connected to the support frame 30, and the air conditioner (such as the air conditioner outdoor unit 500) can be supported by the machine body shelf 40.

In the technical solution of the present application, the fixation frame 10 is provided with the clamp groove 101. When the user installs an air conditioner (for example, an air conditioner outdoor unit 500), the user only needs to clamp the fixation frame 10 to the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300 through the clamp groove 101, and tighten the fastener 20 through the fixation hole 102 to press the fastener 20 against the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300, so that the fixation frame 10 can be locked and fixed on the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300. The support frame 30 and the fixation frame 10 can be pre-assembled before leaving the factory, and there is no need for manual installation by the user. After the fixation frame 10 is installed by the user, the machine body shelf 40 can be connected to the support frame 30. The entire assembly process is simple and convenient, and the user can complete the installation of the air conditioner (such as the air conditioner outdoor unit 500) by himself. There is no need to drill holes on the wall 600, which can improve the installation efficiency and save the installation cost. In addition, the clamp groove 101 and the fastener 20 can be used to fix the fixation frame 10 on the window frame 200 or the windowsill 300 according to the actual mounting environment, and the support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the fixation frame 10, so that the support frame 30 can be adjusted according to the mounting environment to abut against the corresponding support surface 400, and the mounting bracket 100 can be applied to different mounting environments, which can improve the versatility.

In order to further improve the versatility of the mounting bracket 100, as shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the fixation frame 10 includes a main body 11 extending in a horizontal direction and bend parts 12 bent upward from both ends of the main body 11. The clamp groove 101 includes a first groove section provided at the main body 11 and opened downward, and a second groove section provided at each of the bend parts 12 and opened towards one side away from the main body 11. The first groove section is interconnected to the second groove section.

In an embodiment, the fixation frame 10 is generally a structure similar to a “C” shape or a “U” shape. The bend parts 12 are provided at both ends of the main body 11, to adapt to both the left window and the right window. For example, the sidewall of the first groove section corresponding to the main body 11 is provided with two fixation holes 102 provided at intervals along the length direction, and the sidewall of the second groove section corresponding to each bend part 12 is provided with a fixation hole 102, that is, the fixation frame 10 is provided with four fixation holes 102, and four fasteners 20 are correspondingly provided. When it is applied to the mounting environment of the left window or the right window, it only needs to clamp the main body 11 to the bottom side of the window frame 200 through the first groove section, one of the bend parts 12 is clamped to the left side or the right side of the window frame 200 through the second groove section, and three fasteners 20 are provided to lock and fix. When it is applied to the mounting environment of the attic window, the main body 11 can be clamped to the windowsill 300 through the first groove section and two fasteners 20 are provided to lock and fix. In this way, the versatility of the mounting bracket 100 can be further improved.

As shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the support frame 30 is connected to a support foot 50, and the support frame 30 abuts against the support surface 400 through the support foot 50. The support foot 50 can be adjusted relative to the support frame 30 along the normal direction of the support surface 400. Specifically, the normal direction of the support surface 400 refers to the direction perpendicular to the support surface 400. For example, when the support surface 400 is a horizontal plane, the normal direction of the support surface 400 is the vertical direction. The support frame 30 abuts against the support surface 400 through the support foot 50, and the position of the support foot 50 is adjusted, so that the support frame 30 can maintain the best support state. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, under normal circumstances, a window frame 200 is provided at the window of the wall 600, and a windowsill extending outward is formed below the wall 600 corresponding to the window. At this time, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the window frame 200, the support frame 30 abuts against the surface of the windowsill (that is, the support surface 400) through the support foot 50. The position of the support foot 50 is adjusted, so that the support frame 30 can maintain the horizontal state. The specific number of the support foot 50 can be set according to actual needs, which can be one, two or more.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the support foot 50 includes a damping foot pad 51 and an adjustment screw 52. The damping foot pad 51 is connected to one end of the adjustment screw 52, and the other end of the adjustment screw 52 is threaded to the support frame 30. The support foot 50 abuts against the support surface 400 through the damping foot pad 51, and the damping foot pad 51 can be made of a rubber or silicone material with a certain flexibility, which can increase the friction with the support surface 400 to avoid slipping, and can also play a certain buffering and shock-absorbing role. The support frame 30 is provided with a threaded hole for the adjustment screw 52 to pass through, and the position of the support foot 50 can be adjusted by screwing the adjustment screw 52, which is simple and convenient to operate, and can achieve fine adjustment of the position.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the support frame 30 includes a connection beam 31 opposite to and extending in parallel with the fixation frame 10, and two connection arms 32 respectively provided at both ends of the connection beam 31. Each of the connection arms 32 is configured to extend towards the fixation frame 10 and is rotatably connected to the fixation frame 10. Each of the connection arms 32 is connected to the support foot 50.

Specifically, the support frame 30 is generally a “C”-shaped structure. The two connection arms 32 of the support frame 30 can be made of “U”-shaped iron, and the connection beam 31 can be made of sheet metal strips. The two ends of the connection beam 31 can be bent into a “U”-shaped structure, and welded and fixed to the ends of the connection arm 32. The fixation frame 10 is provided with a connection seat 13 corresponding to each of the connection arms 32. One end of each of the connection arms 32 away from the connection beam 31 can be rotatably connected to the connection seat 13 through the connection shaft 60, so that the support frame 30 can rotate relative to the fixing seat. Two support feet 50 are provided, and each of the connection arms 32 is connected to one support foot 50. When the connection arm 32 is rotated to a suitable position, the support foot 50 abuts against the support surface 400, thereby ensuring the overall support reliability.

In order to further improve the versatility of the mounting bracket 100, as shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment, each of the connection arms 32 is provided with a plurality of connection positions 321 along the length direction, and each of the support feet 50 can be selectively connected to one of the connection positions 321. In this way, the position of the support foot 50 can be adjusted along the length direction of the connection arm 32, so as to adapt for different mounting environments. When the support foot 50 is threaded to the connection arm 32, the connection position 321 can be a threaded hole.

In order to ensure the installation stability of the air conditioner, as shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the machine body shelf 40 is provided with an accommodation cavity 401 for accommodating the bottom of the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 500 is put on the machine body shelf 40, the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit 500 is placed in the accommodation cavity 401 of the machine body shelf 40, and the cavity wall around the accommodation cavity 401 can play a certain limiting role on the air conditioner outdoor unit 500, so as to prevent the air conditioner outdoor unit 500 from sliding off the machine body shelf 40.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, on the basis of the above embodiment, in order to further improve the versatility of the mounting bracket 100, the machine body shelf 40 is detachably connected to the support frame 30 and can change the connection position to cooperate with the support frame 30 to form different assembly states. In this way, the user can change the connection position of the machine body shelf 40 and the support frame 30 according to the actual mount environment, so that the machine body shelf 40 and the support frame 30 can form an assembly state adapted to the mount environment, so as to support the air conditioner. The detachable connection between the machine body shelf 40 and the support frame 30 includes but not limited to the plug-in matching, the snap-fit matching or the screw connection.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the machine body shelf 40 and the support frame 30 have a first assembly state and a second assembly state, the support frame 30 is provided with a first mount member 33 and a second mount member 34, and the machine body shelf 40 is provided with a first assembly member 41 and a second assembly member 42. As shown in FIG. 3, in the first assembly state, the first assembly member 41 is detachably connected to the first mount member 33, so that the machine body shelf 40 is stacked on the top of the support frame 30. As shown in FIG. 4, in the second assembly state, the second assembly member 42 is detachably connected to the second mount member 34, so that the machine body shelf 40 is unfolded at a preset angle relative to one side of the support frame 30 away from the support surface 400.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, when the mounting bracket 100 is applied to a mounting environment provided with a window frame 200 and a windowsill, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the window frame 200 through the fastener 20, the support frame 30 is supported on the surface of the windowsill (i.e., the support surface 400) through the support foot 50, and the support frame 30 is generally in a horizontal state. At this time, the machine body shelf 40 is detachably connected to the first mount member 33 of the support frame 30 through the first assembly member 41, so that the machine body shelf 40 is stacked on the top of the support frame 30, and the machine body shelf 40 is also generally in a horizontal state, so as to be able to support the air conditioner (such as the air conditioner outdoor unit 500). As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, when the mounting bracket 100 is applied to a mounting environment with a double window structure, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the window frame 200 of the upper window through the fastener 20, the support frame 30 is supported on the window frame 200 of the lower window or the glass (i.e., the support surface 400) through the support foot 50, and the support frame 30 is generally in a vertical state. At this time, the machine body shelf 40 is detachably connected to the second mount member 34 of the support frame 30 through the second assembly member 42, so that the machine body shelf 40 is extended at a preset angle (e.g., 90°) relative to one side of the support frame 30 away from the support surface 400, that is, the machine body shelf 40 and the support frame 30 are assembled to generally present an “L”-shaped structure, so that the machine body shelf 40 can support the air conditioner (such as the air conditioner outdoor unit 500). As shown in FIG. 12, when the mounting bracket 100 is applied to an attic mount environment with a windowsill 300, the fixation frame 10 can be clamped on the windowsill 300 through the fastener 20, the support frame 30 is supported on the outer wall surface of the attic roof (i.e., the support surface 400) through the support foot 50, and the support frame 30 is in an inclined state. At this time, the machine body shelf 40 is detachably connected to the second mount member 34 of the support frame 30 through the second assembly member 42, so that the machine body shelf 40 is extended at a preset angle (e.g., 90°) relative to one side of the support frame 30 away from the support surface 400, that is, the machine body shelf 40 and the support frame 30 are assembled to generally present an “L”-shaped structure, so that the machine body shelf 40 can support the air conditioner (e.g., the air conditioner outdoor unit 500).
