Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the invention. In order to simplify the present disclosure, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. They are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and/or the use of other materials.

Next, a mounting bracket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 1-3, the mounting bracket 100 includes: a first rack 1, a second rack 2 and a locking assembly 3. The first frame 1 is suitable for being arranged on the windowsill a, the second frame 2 is movable relative to the first frame 1 along the longitudinal direction, so that the relative position of the second frame 2 and the first frame 1 is suitable for being adjusted along the width direction of the windowsill a, and the mounting bracket 100 can be suitable for windowsills a with different widths. It will be appreciated that when the mounting bracket 100 is provided for use on a window sill a, the longitudinal direction of the mounting bracket 100 is the width direction of the window sill a.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, the locking assembly 3 is provided to the second frame 2 such that the locking assembly 3 can move along the longitudinal direction of the second frame 2, and the locking assembly 3 includes a toggle member 31, a linkage mechanism 32, and a lock catch member 33.

The catch 33 is movable between a locking position, in which the first frame 1 is locked, and a release position, in which the first frame 1 is released. Thus, when the locking member 33 is located at the locking position (for example, the position shown in fig. 7), the second frame 2 cannot move longitudinally relative to the first frame 1 any more due to the locking of the first frame 1 by the locking member 33, so that the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction can be locked, so as to ensure the use stability of the mounting bracket 100. When the locking member 33 is in the release position (for example, the position shown in fig. 9), the second frame 2 can move longitudinally relative to the first frame 1 due to the release of the locking member 33 to the first frame 1, so that the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction can be adjusted to adapt to different widths of the window sill a.

The toggle member 31 is rotatable between a latched position and an unlatched position, i.e. the toggle member 31 is rotatable to the latched position (e.g. the position shown in fig. 6) and also rotatable to the unlatched position (e.g. the position shown in fig. 8). The toggle member 31 is moved by the linkage mechanism 32 in linkage with the locking member 33, so that the linkage locking member 33 moves to the locking position (e.g. the state shown in fig. 6 and 7) when the toggle member 31 rotates to the locking position, and the linkage locking member 33 moves to the releasing position (e.g. the state shown in fig. 8 and 9) when the toggle member 31 rotates to the unlocking position.

Thus, when the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction need to be adjusted, the toggle member 31 can be rotated to the unlocking position, so that the locking member 33 releases the first frame 1, and the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction can be adjusted to adapt to different widths of the windowsill a. When the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction need to be locked, the toggle member 31 can be rotated to the locking position, so that the locking member 33 locks the first frame 1, and thus the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction can be locked, so as to ensure the use stability of the mounting bracket 100.

Therefore, unlocking and locking can be simply switched by only rotating the stirring piece 31, the operation is simple, the action is reliable, the space required by rotating the stirring piece 31 is small, and the structural compactness can be improved. When the mounting bracket 100 is used for mounting the window air conditioner 200, the mounting efficiency can be improved and the mounting difficulty can be simplified. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto and the mounting bracket 100 may also be used for the mounting of other equipment for use on a window sill, without limitation.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the catch member 33 cooperates with the second frame 2 through the first guide structure 21 to make the catch member 33 movable between the locking position and the releasing position in the transverse direction relative to the second frame 2, so as to realize the switching between locking and releasing by the reciprocating movement of the catch member 33 along the length direction of the window sill a. It will be appreciated that when the mounting bracket 100 is disposed on the sill a for use, the transverse direction of the mounting bracket 100 is the length direction of the sill a.

Therefore, the locking piece 33 moves transversely, so that the occupation of the locking piece 33 in the vertical space can be avoided, the size of the mounting bracket 100 in the vertical direction can be reduced, and the locking piece 33 moving transversely can have a larger transverse compression space and can have a more reliable locking effect when locking is realized by adopting elastic compression and other modes. Moreover, since the locking piece 33 reciprocates in the transverse direction, the operation is simple and reliable, the implementation is easy, the structure can be simplified, and the assembly is convenient.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, the linkage 32 includes a turntable 321 that rotates with the toggle member 31, i.e., the turntable 321 rotates in synchronization with the toggle member 31. The turntable 321 is provided with a sliding groove 3211, one transverse end of the locking piece 33 is provided with a sliding piece 34, and the sliding piece 34 is movably matched in the sliding groove 3211 along the extending direction of the sliding groove 3211, so that when the turntable 321 rotates, the locking piece 33 can only slide along the transverse direction due to the limitation of the first guide structure 21, and the sliding piece 34 slides along the sliding groove 3211 correspondingly.

As shown in fig. 13 and 14, both ends in the extending direction of the slide groove 3211 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the turntable 321 and have different radial distances from the center of the turntable 321. Thus, when the sliding members 34 reach the two ends of the sliding groove 3211 during the rotation of the turntable 321, the radial distance between the sliding members 34 and the center of the turntable 321 is not equal, so that the locking member 33 can move in the lateral direction.

For example, referring to fig. 13 and 14, the two ends of the sliding groove 3211 are a first end 3211a and a second end 3211b, respectively, where the first end 3211a and the second end 3211b are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the turntable 321, and the radial distance of the first end 3211a from the center of the turntable 321 is a, and the radial distance of the second end 3211b from the center of the turntable 321 is b, a > b. Thus, as the slider 34 moves from the second end 3211b to the first end 3211a, the radial distance of the slider 34 from the center of the turntable 321 becomes greater, corresponding to the turntable 321 pushing the capture 33 to move laterally away from the center of the turntable 321, and as the slider 34 moves from the first end 3211a to the second end 3211b, the radial distance of the slider 34 from the center of the turntable 321 becomes closer, corresponding to the turntable 321 pulling the capture 33 to move laterally toward the center of the turntable 321.

Therefore, the linkage mechanism 32 is ingenious in design, the rotation of the poking piece 31 can be simply and effectively converted into the transverse movement of the locking piece 33, the space is saved, and the reliability is high.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 13, the locking pieces 33 are respectively matched at two lateral sides of the turntable 321, the turntable 321 is close to each other through the locking pieces 33 at two sides of the forward rotation linkage, and the turntable 321 is far away from each other through the locking pieces 33 at two sides of the reverse rotation linkage. For example, when the turntable 321 shown in fig. 13 is rotated counterclockwise, the two lock pieces 33 are moved toward each other in the lateral direction to achieve the approaching (for example, to assume the state shown in fig. 9); and when the dial 321 is rotated clockwise, the two catch pieces 33 are moved in opposite directions in the lateral direction to be away from each other (for example, to take the state shown in fig. 7). Thus, the two locking pieces 33 can be driven to move in a mirror image or a general mirror image through one turntable 321, so that the switching between locking and releasing is realized, and the design is ingenious.

For example, as shown in fig. 13 and 14, two sliding grooves 3211 may be provided on the turntable 321, and the two sliding grooves 3211 may be disposed in a central symmetry manner, and one end, close to the turntable 321, of each locking piece 33 in the transverse direction is respectively matched with the sliding groove 3211 on the corresponding side through the sliding piece 34, so as to facilitate the mirror image movement of the two locking pieces 33.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the locking and releasing scheme of the first frame 1 by the locking piece 33 is not limited.

For example, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the first frame 1 comprises two support walls 11 extending in the longitudinal direction, the two support walls 11 being located on both lateral sides of the catch 33. As shown in fig. 7, the both side locking pieces 33 are moved away from each other to the locking position to support the both side support walls 11, i.e., the lateral outer ends of the both locking pieces 33 support the both side support walls 11, thereby achieving the locking effect. As shown in fig. 9, the two side locking pieces 33 approach each other to reach the release position to be away from the two side support walls 11, that is, the lateral outer ends of the two locking pieces 33 are separated from the two side support walls 11 (e.g., clearance fit or friction-free contact fit, etc.), thereby achieving the release, unlocking effects.

Thereby, the locking and releasing scheme of the locking piece 33 to the first frame 1 is simple, and the reliability of the locking and releasing switching is high. Furthermore, the arrangement of the two support walls 11 does not interfere with the movement of the linkage 32, facilitating assembly.

Of course, the invention is not limited thereto, but in other embodiments, for example in connection with fig. 15, the first frame 1 comprises two longitudinal walls 12 extending in the longitudinal direction, the two longitudinal walls 12 being located between the catch members 33 on both sides. The two side catches 33 are brought close to each other to grip the two longitudinal walls 12 to the locked position, i.e. the two catches 33 grip the two longitudinal walls 12, thereby effecting the locking. The two side catches 33 are moved away from each other to release the two longitudinal walls 12 to a release position, i.e. the two catches 33 are moved away from the two longitudinal walls 12, thereby effecting release, unlocking.

Thereby, the locking and unlocking design requirements of the first frame 1 with different structural forms can be satisfied.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12, the locking member 33 may include a body member 331 and a damping member 332 provided to the body member 331, and the body member 331 is locked by interference fit of the damping member 332 with the first frame 1. Therefore, stepless regulation and locking can be realized, and the window sill A with different widths can be better adapted. For example, the damping member 332 may be a rubber block or the like, without limitation.

For example, in the specific example shown in fig. 12, the catch member 33 and the body member 331 included therein are each configured as an arm structure extending in the lateral direction, the lateral inner end of the body member 331 is connected to the turntable 321 by the slider 34, and the lateral outer end of the body member 331 is provided with the damper member 332. Wherein the laterally inner end of body member 331 refers to an end of body member 331 laterally closer to the center of turntable 321, and the laterally outer end of body member 331 refers to an end of body member 331 laterally farther from the center of turntable 321.

Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, in other embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of locking holes may be provided on the first frame 1 at intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the locking piece 33 may extend into the locking holes to reach the locking position, and the locking piece 33 may be pulled out from the locking holes to reach the releasing position, which will not be described herein.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 16, a side of the toggle member 31 facing the turntable 321 has a avoidance groove 311 for avoiding the sliding member 34, so that the compactness of the structure can be improved, the structural strength of the toggle member 31 can be ensured, and the toggle member 31 can be utilized to play a role of shielding, thereby implementing shielding protection on the sliding member 34 and the like.

For example, the turntable 321 is located below the stirring member 31, the bottom of the stirring member 31 is provided with an avoidance groove 311, and the sliding member 34 is arranged corresponding to the avoidance groove 311, so that the structural compactness can be improved, the structural strength of the stirring member 31 is ensured, the stirring member 31 can be utilized to play a role in shielding, and shielding protection can be implemented on the sliding member 34 and the like.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12 and 16, the toggle member 31 is connected to the turntable 321 through a rotation shaft 35 and a connection shaft 36, where the toggle member 31 and the turntable 321 both rotate around the rotation shaft 35, and the connection shaft 36 is disposed eccentric to the rotation shaft 35 to enable the toggle member 31 and the turntable 321 to rotate synchronously. Therefore, the structure is simple, and the connection is convenient.

It should be noted that the number of the connecting shafts 36 is not limited, and may be one or more, for example, two and the center may be symmetrical, so that the stress of each connecting shaft 36 is reduced and the service life is prolonged. Moreover, two sliding members 34 can be avoided, that is, the two sliding members 34 and the two connecting shafts 36 can be alternately arranged one by one, so that the layout is compact and the action reliability is high.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the second frame 2 has a pivoting portion 22, a first positioning portion 23 and a second positioning portion 24 thereon, and the toggle member 31 is rotatably connected to the pivoting portion 22. The toggle member 31 is provided with a positioning member 37, when the toggle member 31 rotates to the locking position, the positioning member 37 is opposite to and in positioning fit with the first positioning portion 23, and when the toggle member 31 rotates to the unlocking position, the positioning member 37 is opposite to and in positioning fit with the second positioning portion 24. Thus, stability of the locked state and the unlocked state can be ensured.

The positioning and matching modes of the first positioning portion 23, the second positioning portion 24 and the positioning member 37 are not limited, and for example, the positioning and matching of the positioning hole and the elastic positioning pin can be performed, so that the operation is convenient and the locking effect is reliable. For example, the first positioning portion 23 and the second positioning portion 24 are both positioning holes, the positioning piece 37 is an elastic positioning pin including a pin and a spring, the spring drives the pin to be normally locked in the positioning hole, and when unlocking is needed, the pin is lifted to be moved out of the positioning hole against the acting force of the spring.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the second frame 2 may be located above the first frame 1, the toggle member 31 may be located above the second frame 2, the turntable 321 may be located below the second frame 2 and above the first frame 1, that is, sandwiched between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, and at this time, the pivot portion 22 may be a pivot hole, and the above-mentioned rotating shaft 35 may penetrate through the second frame 2 and connect the turntable 321 and the toggle member 31.

Meanwhile, the second frame 2 may further be provided with a first avoidance hole 25, and the connecting shaft 36 may penetrate through the first avoidance hole 25 to connect the turntable 321 with the toggle member 31, and the connecting shaft 36 rotates around the center of the turntable 321 during the rotation of the turntable 321, so that the first avoidance hole 25 is an arc hole.

In addition, the second frame 2 may further be provided with a second avoidance hole 26, and the sliding member 34 described above may be disposed corresponding to the second avoidance hole 26, and since the sliding member 34 only moves in the lateral direction relative to the second frame 2 during the rotation of the turntable 321, the second avoidance hole 26 may be an oblong hole.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are engaged to be relatively movable in the longitudinal direction by the second guide structure 4. Thereby, stability and reliability of the adjustment can be ensured.

For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second guide structure 4 may include a guide pin 13 provided on the first frame 1, and a longitudinal groove 27 provided on the second frame 2, the longitudinal groove 27 extending in a longitudinal direction, and the guide pin 13 sliding along the longitudinal groove 27 when the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are relatively moved in the longitudinal direction, so that stability of the sliding fit of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 may be ensured.

For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second guide structure 4 may include a first guide rail 14 provided on the first frame 1, and a second guide rail 28 provided on the second frame 2, where the first guide rail 14 and the second guide rail 28 each extend in a longitudinal direction, and the first guide rail 14 and the second guide rail 28 are nested to be engaged, and when the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 move relatively in the longitudinal direction, the first guide rail 14 and the second guide rail 28 slide relatively along the longitudinal groove 27, so that stability of the sliding engagement of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 may be ensured.

The installation position of the longitudinal groove 27 is not limited, and may be provided on the second rail 28 or may not be provided on the second rail 28, for example.

In addition, the guide pin 13 may be a screw, which is locked after adjustment, thereby further improving the reliability of locking the relative positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 in the longitudinal direction.

For ease of installation, the outer machine part 8 may be rotated in a bottom elevation about the pivot axis 35 line L, as shown for example in fig. 21, so that the back of the outer machine part 8 is elevated to be substantially flush with the connection 9. At this time, as shown in fig. 22, the window air conditioner 200 is pushed out of the room without raising the inner unit 7, and the outer unit 8 can be easily supported on the first sub-frame 51 in the flat state and pushed out of the room.

As shown in fig. 23, when the outer machine 8 reaches the outside, the outer machine 8 can be rotated in a bottom-down manner about the pivot axis 35L so that the bottom of the outer machine 8 is lowered, and the first sub-frame 51 supports the outer machine 8 to be rotated downward. Thus, with reference to fig. 20, the window air conditioner 200 can be converted into a use state in which the back of the external unit 8 is vertically placed, and the first sub-frame 51 is converted into a vertically placed state, and is sandwiched between the wall B and the back of the external unit 8, against the second sub-frame 52. It can be seen that the use state (e.g., as shown in fig. 20) of the window air conditioner 200 is the same as the initial state (e.g., as shown in fig. 18). Thereby, the installation portability and the installation safety of the window air conditioner 200 are improved.
