The auxiliary mounting device comprises a base and an airbag; the base is located on a window, an upper end of the airbag is connected to a connecting portion of the saddle-type window air conditioner, a lower end of the airbag is connected to the base), an air hole is provided on the airbag, and a plug is provided at the air hole. When mounting the saddle-type window air conditioner, the airbag is inflated first, and then the saddle-type window air conditioner, together with the base and the airbag, is placed on the window, the base sits on the window, then the airbag is deflated, and the connecting portion gradually descends, along with the deflation of the airbag, in the direction towards the base, thereby enabling the saddle-type window air conditioner to fall slowly. The auxiliary mounting device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An auxiliary mounting device for a saddle-type window air conditioner, wherein the saddle-type window air conditioner comprises: an indoor part, located on an indoor side; an outdoor part, located on an outdoor side; a connecting part, located on a window, wherein one end is connected to the indoor part, and the other end is connected to the outdoor part; wherein the auxiliary mounting device comprises: a base, located on the window; and an airbag, located below the connecting part, wherein an upper end of the airbag is connected to the connecting part, a lower end of the airbag is connected to the base, the airbag is provided with an air hole, and the air hole is provided with a plug; and the connecting part gradually moves in a direction towards the base along with deflation of the airbag. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein the base comprises a bottom plate and side plates disposed around the bottom plate and extending toward the airbag side, and when the airbag is in a compressed state, the side plates abut against the connecting part, and the airbag is located between the bottom plate and the connecting part. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein the upper end of the airbag is provided with an upper connecting portion, and the upper connecting portion is bonded or detachably connected to the connecting part; and the lower end of the airbag is provided with a lower connecting portion, and the lower connecting portion is bonded or detachably connected to the base. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of airbags are provided and symmetrically arranged between the base and the connecting part. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein the airbag is provided with two air holes with different diameters. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein a width of the base is equal to a width of the connecting part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein a length of the base is not greater than a smallest length of the connecting part. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, wherein when the airbag is in an inflated state, a lower surface of the base is retracted into a lower surface of the indoor part and a lower surface of the outdoor part. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A mounting method for a saddle-type window air conditioner by using the auxiliary mounting device for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 1, comprising the following steps: connecting the upper end of the airbag to the connecting part, and connecting the lower end of the airbag to the base; inflating the airbag through the air hole, and inserting the plug into the air hole after the airbag is fully inflated; moving the saddle-type window air conditioner together with the base and the fully inflated airbag onto a window, and placing the base on the window such that the indoor part is located on the indoor side and the outdoor part is located on the outdoor side; and removing the plug such that the connecting part gradually moves in a direction towards the base along with deflation of the airbag. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The mounting method for the saddle-type window air conditioner according to claim 9, further comprising the following step: separating the upper end of the airbag from the connecting part, and withdrawing the base and the airbag from below the connecting part.
