A mounting support 100 for a window type air conditioner 1000 and a window type air conditioner assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, FIG. 4, FIG. 6, and FIG. 8, according to an embodiment in a first aspect of the present disclosure, the mounting support 100 for the window type air conditioner 1000 is provided. The mounting support 100 for the window type air conditioner 1000 includes a base frame assembly 10 and an outer frame assembly 20.

In the related art, an indoor unit portion 200 (i.e., an indoor unit of the window type air conditioner 1000) and an outdoor unit portion 300 (i.e., an outdoor unit of the window type air conditioner 1000) of the window type air conditioner 1000 are generally fixed to a windowsill by the mounting support 100. However, when a user is on a higher floor, after the outdoor unit portion 300 is lifted to the windowsill, moving from an inside of a window to an outside of the window has a difficult mounting operation, which is a high-altitude operation posing certain safety hazards.

The present disclosure provides the mounting support 100, which is capable of realizing outdoor mounting of the outdoor unit portion 300 indoors, and has low safety hazards and low operation difficulty.

The base frame assembly 10 includes a first connection portion 111 adapted to be disposed at a window. The base frame assembly 10 is configured to integrally fix the mounting support 100 to a wall body or an indoor space (e.g., an inner support portion 112 configured to be fixed to an indoor unit portion 200 and adapted to clamp the wall body with the outer frame assembly 20, and the first connection portion 111 configured to be connected to the outer frame assembly 20 are provided. Or, instead of the inner support portion 112, an inner abutment portion connected to the first connection portion 111 and supported at the window may be provided).

In some embodiments, the base frame assembly 10 may include the inner abutment portion connected to the first connection portion 111. In addition, the inner abutment portion is placed at the windowsill. The inner abutment portion may include a first rod and at least one second rod in telescopic cooperation with the first rod, such that two ends of the inner abutment portion are pressed against wall bodies on a left side and a right side of the windowsill, realizing fixation of the mounting support 100 on the window. In addition, based on different widths of the window, an extension length of the second rod from the first rod can also be adjusted to accommodate windows having different widths. In other embodiments, the base frame assembly 10 may include the inner support portion 112 disposed in the indoor space, and the inner support portion 112 is adapted to abut against an inner wall body. The inner support portion 112 has an upper end connected to the first connection portion 111, and a lower end extending away from the first connection portion 111 and supported at the inner wall body, to realize fixation of the mounting support 100 at the wall body.

The window type air conditioner 1000 according to the present disclosure is suitable for use at the window. A direction from inside to outside of the window (that is, a direction penetrating the window) is “longitudinal direction”, a width direction of the window is “horizontal direction”, and a height direction of the window is “vertical direction”. In short, when the window type air conditioner 1000 is in a use mode, the outdoor unit portion 300 is spaced apart from the indoor unit portion 200 in a direction from inside to outside. The indoor unit portion 200 is disposed at an indoor side for adjusting an indoor ambient temperature and the like. The outdoor unit portion 300 is disposed at an outdoor side for heat exchange with an outdoor environment. In other words, a height, up-down, top-bottom, and other directions of the present disclosure coincide with the height direction and the vertical direction of the window, while a width, left-right and other directions coincide with the width direction and the horizontal direction of the window.

As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 8, the outer frame assembly 20 includes an outer movement frame 21 and an outer rotation frame 22. The outer movement frame 21 is connected to the first connection portion 111 (or may be formed in one piece with the first connection portion). In addition, the outer movement frame 21 is adapted to be supported at the outer wall body. The outer movement frame 21 cooperates with the inner abutment portion or the outer movement frame 21 cooperates with the inner support portion 112 to realize the fixation of the mounting support 100 at the wall body.

The outer movement frame 21 includes a second connection portion 211 and a top support portion 215. The second connection portion 211 is in a slip cooperation with the first connection portion 111 to be movable relative to each other in a direction from inside to outside (for example, the first connection portion 111 extends into the second connection portion 211 or the second connection portion 211 extends into the first connection portion 111 to enable the second connection portion 211 to be in a slip cooperation with the first connection portion 111), in such a manner that a clamping width between the base frame assembly 10 and the outer frame assembly 20 can be adjusted, allowing that a safety support can be used for walls of different thicknesses.

The outer rotation frame 22 is pivotally connected to an outer end of the second connection portion 211 to be rotatable relative to the second connection portion 211 and is at least switchable between two positions to facilitate mounting of the window type air conditioner 100.

When the outdoor unit portion 300 of the window type air conditioner 1000 is pushed outwardly from the window, a bottom outer end of the outdoor unit portion 300 may fall under an action of its own gravity, or a stuck phenomenon between the outdoor unit portion 300 and the outer rotation frame 22 occurs due to a left end of the outdoor unit portion 300 being out of sync with a right end of the outdoor unit portion 300 during pushing out of the outdoor unit portion 300. The stuck phenomenon, that is, a dead center phenomenon in mechanical movement, causes the outdoor unit portion 300 to be stuck and difficult to move. Therefore, the outdoor unit portion 300 cannot be pushed out to a support wall 212, which affects mounting of the outdoor unit portion 300, increases mounting difficulty, and poses a mounting risk.

The present disclosure further provides the top support portion 215. The top support portion 215 is located at a top of the outer end of the second connection portion 211 and located at an inner side of the outer rotation frame 22.

Therefore, when the outdoor unit portion 300 is pushed to move towards the support wall 212, the outdoor unit portion 300 can be guided by the top support portion 215, and the outdoor unit portion 300 can be gradually supported by the top support portion 215, in such a manner that a bottom end of the outdoor unit portion 300 is always higher than a top end of the outdoor unit portion 300 in a process of pushing the outdoor unit portion 300 to the support wall 212. Therefore, an outer part of the bottom end of the outdoor unit portion 300 can be prevented from falling off. Thus, it can avoid the stuck or dead center phenomenon between the outdoor unit portion 300 and the outer rotation frame 22 (in the direction from inside to outside, a relative stuck phenomenon between the outer rotation frame 22 and a surface of the bottom end of the outdoor unit portion 300 in the inner-outer direction), reducing difficulty of assembly and improving an efficiency of assembly.

The top support portion 215 is disposed at the second connection portion 211, and located at the outer end of the second connection portion 211, in such a manner that after adjusting a relative position between the first connection portion 111 and the second connection portion 211, the top support portion 215 can move synchronously with the second connection portion 211, to enable the top support portion 215 to always provide guidance and support inside the outer rotation frame 22. In this way, the outdoor unit portion 300 and the outer rotation frame 22 can be effectively prevented from being stuck.

With the mounting support 100 of the window type air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing the top support portion 215 and causing the top support portion 215 to be located at the outer end of the second connection portion 211 to support and guide the outdoor unit portion 300, it is possible to avoid occurrence of jamming between the outer rotation frame 22 and the outdoor unit portion 300 to improve mounting convenience of the window type air conditioner 1000, reducing mounting difficulty, and thus improving a mounting efficiency.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the window type air conditioner 1000 includes an indoor unit portion 200, an outdoor unit portion 300, and a connection portion 400 connected to the indoor unit portion 200 and the outdoor unit portion 300. The connection portion 400 is constructed as a hollow structure. A power supply wiring harness, a control wiring harness, a condensate pipe, a refrigerant pipe, or the like of the outdoor unit portion 300 can pass through the connection portion 400 and can be invisible to an outside to improve aesthetics. During mounting, a locking structure can be disposed to fix the outdoor unit portion 300 and the connection portion 400. After moving the outdoor unit portion 300 under guidance and support of the top support portion 215 to above the outer rotation frame 22 in a first state, the locking structure is allowed to unlock the outdoor unit portion 300, enabling the outdoor unit portion 300 to synchronously pivot downwardly with the outer rotation frame 22 to abut against the outer movement frame 21 in a second state.

The outdoor unit portion 300 and the connection portion 400 are connected to each other by the locking structure. In this case, the outdoor unit portion 300 and the connection portion 400 are in a horizontal position. After assembly is completed, the outdoor unit portion 300 is turned downwardly to abut against the wall body, in this case the outdoor unit portion 300 is substantially perpendicular to the connection portion 400.

In some embodiments, the outer rotation frame 22 includes a support wall 22. The outer rotation frame 22 has a first end portion 213 and a second end portion 214 that are parts located at two ends of the support wall 22, respectively. The first end portion 213 is pivotally connected to the outer end of the second connection portion 211 to allow the outer rotation frame 22 to be rotatable between a first state in which the second end portion 214 is raised and a second state in which the second end portion 214 is lowered. In the first state, the outer rotation frame 22 is laid flat to support the outdoor unit portion 300. In the second state, the outer rotation frame 22 is placed vertically and configured to support the outdoor unit portion 300 together with a movement frame. The first state and the second state have an angle of preferably 90°.

A mounting process of the window type air conditioner 1000 at the windowsill is as follows: firstly, a clamping size between the base frame assembly 10 and the outer movement frame 21 is adjusted to correspond to a size of the wall body. The base frame assembly 10 is fixed at the windowsill (pressed against walls on two sides of the windowsill or supported at the inner wall body). Then, the outer movement frame 21 is placed at an outer wall body below the windowsill and the outdoor unit portion 300 is placed at the first connection portion 111 and can be pushed to the outer rotation frame 22 in the first state. Further, the outer rotation frame 22 is switched from the first state to the second state, which means that the mounting of the window type air conditioner 1000 at the windowsill is completed. When the window type air conditioner 100 is needed to be disassembled, the outer rotation frame 22 is switched from the second state to the first state and the outdoor unit portion 300 is moved to the indoor space to disassemble the mounting support 100.

The outer rotation frame 22 may define the rectangular frame. In the first state, the first end portion 213 and the second end portion 214 of the outer rotation frame 22 are substantially flush with an extension direction of the windowsill (in this case, the outer rotation frame 22 is placed horizontally and the support wall 212 is configured to support the outdoor unit portion 300) to facilitate moving out of the outdoor unit portion 300. In the second state, the second end portion 214 of the outer rotation frame 22 is located below (in this case, the outer rotation frame 22 is placed vertically, and the support wall 212 is attached to or accommodated at the outer movement frame 21), and the first end portion 213 of the outer rotation frame 22 is located above, such that the outer rotation frame 22 can drive the outdoor unit portion 300 to pivot below the windowsill to avoid covering the windowsill.

Horizontal placement and vertical placement defined in the present disclosure are relative concepts rather than absolute concepts. The horizontal placement should be understood as being parallel or substantially parallel to a horizontal plane. That is, there can be a small inclination angle with the horizontal plane. In this way, the outer rotation frame 22 can be attached to the second connection portion 211. The outdoor unit portion 300 can be smoothly moved to the outer rotation frame 22 from a position where the second connection portion 211 is. The horizontal plane can be a surface parallel to the windowsill. The vertical placement should be understood as being parallel to or having a small inclination angle with a vertical surface to allow the mounted outdoor unit portion 300 to be attached to the wall body, improving stability. The vertical surface can be one that is parallel to the wall body.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the top support portion 215 is located at a top of the outer end of the second connection portion 211 and is located at an inner side of the first end portion 213. The top support portion 215 includes an inner guide surface a. The inner guide surface a obliquely and upwards extends to a top end of the top support portion 215 in the direction from inside to outside. In the first state the support wall 212 is laid flat to form a top wall of the outer rotation frame 22. The top end of the top support portion 215 is flush with or higher than the support wall 212.

Therefore, when the outdoor unit portion 300 is pushed to move towards the support wall 212, the outdoor unit portion 300 can be guided by the inner guide surface a, and the outdoor unit portion 300 can be gradually supported by the top support portion 215, in such a manner that the bottom end of the outdoor unit portion 300 is always higher than the top end of the outdoor unit portion 300 in the process of pushing the outdoor unit portion 300 to the support wall 212. Therefore, the outer part of the bottom end of the outdoor unit portion 300 can be prevented from falling down, such that the stuck or dead center phenomenon between the outdoor unit portion 300 and the outer rotation frame 22 (in the direction from inside to outside, a relative stuck phenomenon between a first end portion 213 of the outer rotation frame 22 and the surface of the bottom end of the outdoor unit portion 300 in the inner-outer direction) can be avoided, reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving the efficiency of assembly.

The top support portion 215 is disposed at the second connection portion 211, and the top support portion 215 is located at the outer end of the second connection portion 211. In this way, after adjusting the relative position between the first connection portion 111 and the second connection portion 211, the top support portion 215 can move synchronously with the second connection portion 211 to enable the top support portion 215 to always provide guidance and support inside the first end portion 213 of the outer rotation frame 22. In this way, the outdoor unit portion 300 and the first end portion 213 of the outer rotation frame 22 can be effectively prevented from being stuck.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the outer movement frame 21 includes an outer support portion. The outer support portion has an upper end connected to the outer end of the second connection portion 211. The outer support portion is adapted to be disposed at an outdoor side and located at a side of the outer rotation frame 22 close to an outer surface of a wall body. A damping member 30 is connected between the outer support portion and the outer rotation frame 22.

A plurality of the first connection portion 111 and a plurality of the second connection portion 211 and a plurality of the outer support portion may be provided. The first connection portion 111 and the second connection portion 211 are arranged in groups. The plurality of outer support portions are connected to each other by the inner connection rod to form a rectangular frame structure. Each outer support portion has the upper end connected to the outer end of the second connection portion 211, and the lower end extending downwardly relative to the second connection portion 211. The outer support portion and the second connection portion 211 are both configured as a beam body structure and integrally formed, welded or fixed by a fastener (such as bolts). In addition, the outer support portion is supported at a side of an outer wall of the wall body to reliably support the outer rotation frame 22 in the second state and the outdoor unit portion 300.

By disposing the damping member 30 between the outer support portion and the outer rotation frame 22, when the outer rotation frame 22 is rotated to be in the second state by the damping member 30, resistance is provided to reduce a rotation speed of the outer rotation member to prevent the outdoor unit portion 300 from rotating too fast and falling.

The damping member 30 can be constructed as a gas strut or a hydraulic strut. The damping member 30 has an end fixed to the outer rotation frame 22 and another end fixed to the outer support portion. In the first state, the outer rotation frame 22 forms an angle (preferably) 90° with the outer support portion. In the second state, the rectangular frame defined by the outer rotation frame 22 is attached to the outer support portion. During transition from the first state to the second state, or from the second state to the first state, the outer rotation frame 22 rotates relative to the second connection portion 211. The damping member 30 can provide a cushioning force to reduce the rotation speed of the outer rotation, which can provide cushioning for the outer rotation frame 22 and the outdoor unit portion 300, preventing the outdoor unit portion 300 from excessive impact to avoid damage to the outdoor unit portion 300. In addition, noise during mounting is minimized, and the outdoor unit portion 300 can be prevented from falling, enhancing safety and reliability of a mounting process for the window type air conditioner 1000.

The damping member 30 is constructed as the gas strut and has a cylinder hingedly fixed to the outer support portion and a free end hingedly fixed to the outer rotation frame 22. In this way, through sliding of the strut within the cylinder, damping buffer during the switching between the first state and the second state is realized. The gas strut having an appropriate support force can be selected or a support force of the gas strut can be adjusted to match a weight of the outdoor unit portion 300, enhancing stability of the outer rotation frame 22 in a first position. Therefore, deformation of the outer rotation frame 22 in the first state under a weight of the outdoor unit during assembly, which can lead to falling of the outdoor unit portion 300, is avoided, further improving reliability of the assembly and effectively reducing safety hazards.

The damping member 30 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited in this regard. In other embodiments, the damping member 30 includes a fixation base and a sliding member, an elastic member. The sliding member is slidably engaged with the fixation base.

The elastic member is disposed between the fixation base and the sliding member to provide elastic resistance for the sliding member, to realize buffering of the outer rotation frame 22 through energy storage and energy storage release of the elastic member.

In some embodiments, the fixation base is rotatably arranged at the outer support portion, and the sliding member is connected to the outer rotation frame 22 by a rod-shaped member. Two ends of the rod-shaped member are connected to the sliding member and the outer rotation frame 22, respectively, to adjust an angle between the outer rotation frame 22 and the outer support portion through movement of the sliding member relative to the fixation base. A mechanical dead point is avoided through pivoting adaptability of the fixation base, improving convenience of angle adjustment between the outer rotation frame 22 and the outer support portion. In other embodiments, the fixation base is fixed at the outer rotation frame 22, and the sliding member is pivotally connected to the outer support portion by the rod-shaped member. Two ends of the rod-shaped member are hinged to the sliding member and the outer rotation frame 22, respectively, to adjust the angle between the outer rotation frame 22 and the outer support portion through movement of the sliding member relative to the fixation base. The mechanical dead point is avoided through pivoting adaptability of the rod-shaped member.
