Abstract

A mounting bracket assembly includes a support plate and an outdoor support. The support plate includes an outer support member. A mounting slide groove is formed at the outer support member and extending in a length direction of the support plate. One end of the outdoor support is slidably provided in the mounting slide groove. A limit structure is provided between the one end of the outdoor support and the mounting slide groove and configured to limit the one end of the outdoor support from separating from the mounting slide groove.

an upper end of a side edge of the one inclined side plate is provided with an anti-rotation convex abutting against a lower surface of the outer support member.

7. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein another end of the outdoor support is provided with a support foot including:

a rotation member having a rotation connection position and rotatably connected to the another end of the outdoor support, the rotation connection position being provided close to one end of the rotation member, and the rotation member having a resistance action surface at another end of the rotation member; and

a damping member provided at the resistance action surface.

8. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the rotation member includes a rotation bottom plate and two rotation side plates each provided at one of two opposite sides of the rotation bottom plate, the resistance action surface is a bottom surface of the rotation bottom plate, and the rotation connection position is provided at one rotation side plate of the rotation side plates and close to one end of the one rotation side plate.

9. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 8 , wherein:

the rotation connection position is a rotation hole passing through the one rotation side plate; and/or

a width of the one rotation side plate gradually decreases from the one end of the one rotation side plate to another end of the one rotation side plate that is opposite to the one end of the one rotation side plate.

10. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting case includes:

an accommodation cavity configured to mount the level;

a visible notch provided at a top of the mounting case and communicated with the accommodation cavity; and

a detachable connection structure detachably connected to the level mounting member.

11. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the detachable connection structure includes a clamp structure clamping with the level mounting member.

12. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 11 , wherein:

the clamp structure includes two elastic clamp arms provided at two opposite sides of the mounting case, respectively, a lower end of each of the elastic clamp arms protruding from one side of the mounting case and being provided with a clamp convex protruding towards another one of the elastic clamp arms;

the level mounting member includes a level mounting plate;

the one side of the mounting case abuts against a first surface of the level mounting plate; and

the clamp convex is clamped to a second surface of the level mounting plate that is opposite to the first surface of the level mounting plate.

13. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 12 , wherein:

the one side of the mounting case is provided with a mounting opening communicated with the accommodation cavity;

the accommodation cavity includes a top wall surface opposite to the mounting opening and two side wall surfaces connected to two opposite sides of the top wall surface;

a limit convex protrudes from each of the side wall surface, the limit convex being configured to retain the level between the limit convex and the top wall surface.

14. A mounting bracket assembly comprising:

a support plate; and

a transverse fixation member connected to one end of the support plate and including:

a transverse limit member including:

a limit top plate;

a first limit side plate and a second limit side plate provided at two opposite side edges of the limit top plate, respectively, a length of the first limit side plate being greater than a length of the second limit side plate; and

two limit bottom plates opposite to the limit top plate and provided at two ends of the first limit side plate, respectively;

wherein:

the limit top plate, the first limit side plate, the second limit side plate, and the limit bottom plates enclose to form a mounting space;

a first opening communicated with the mounting space is formed between the two limit bottom plates; and

a second opening communicated with the mounting space is formed between the limit bottom plates and the limit top plate where the second limit plate is located.

15. The mounting bracket assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the limit bottom plates and the second limit side plate are provided at intervals in a length direction of the transverse limit member to form a third opening communicated with the mounting space and located between the second limit side plate and the second opening.
