Definitions

• the invention relates to a device housing for air conditioners.
• a large number of housings for the construction of the most varied types of devices are known.
• the standard device housings that are usually commercially available have a number of options for attaching functional components, cladding, panels, walls, etc. at the most varied locations within the housing.
• air conditioning units Many heavyweight components such as compressors, heat exchangers or fans are accommodated in air conditioning units. It must be possible to incorporate all of these components together or optionally in one housing. In addition, it is necessary that the housing is airtight to the outside. The air-conditioned air should exit the air-conditioning unit at a precisely defined location and not through leaks, for example on the edges of the housing. It is therefore necessary that the design components on the outside of the housing, such as panels or doors, can be attached airtight.
• a device housing of the type mentioned at the outset such that design components which are to be opened on the outside are to be fastened in an airtight and vibration-decoupled manner.
• the functional components common in air conditioning technology should be universally attachable to the inside. It must be possible to screw the air conditioner up and / or down with air ducts. Furthermore, it is to be made possible that fully assembled air conditioning system housings are to be hung on the hook of a crane via a hanging device.
• a device housing for air conditioning units consisting of upper and lower rectangular, spaced from each other by load-bearing walls, made of extruded profiles and panels that can be removed with fasteners or movably attached to the frame, is proposed.
• the outer circumference of the extruded profiles being essentially rectangular and the extruded profiles each having a horizontal and a vertical surface which faces the interior of the housing (A, B) and each have a horizontal and a vertical surface which faces the exterior of the housing (C , D), characterized in that a) the horizontal inner surface (A) of the extruded profile approximately in the center via a groove channel (1) with an underlying three-quarter-circle screw channel (1 1) for screwing two strand sections at right angles to one another and one to the right or left b) the screw channel (2) for attaching functional components located on the groove channel (1), b) the vertical inner surface (B) of the extruded profile has a screw channel (3) for attaching functional components, c) the horizontal outer surface (C) of the extruded profile has a maximum of two screw channels (6,7) for attaching functional components and a screw channel (12) for screwing two strand sections at right angles to each other, d) the vertical outer surface ( D) of the extruded profile seen from
• the vertical outer surface of the extruded profile according to the invention is used for the airtight attachment of design components, such as Doors, panels, etc.
• a hammer-head groove channel is used for this, in the hexagon nuts for screwing doors, door hinges, panels, etc. or their fastening devices can be introduced.
• Seen from the outside corner behind the screw groove is a groove for inserting a sealing profile that seals the construction profile airtight against the doors or panels.
• the remaining three surfaces are used to attach functional components.
• hammer-head groove channel On the horizontal inner surface there is a hammer-head groove channel into which hexagon nuts can be inserted to screw components together.
• hammerhead groove channel To the right or left of the hammerhead groove channel is another screw channel in which self-tapping screws can be screwed in perpendicular to the surface for fastening components.
• the profile On its vertical inner surface, the profile has a screw channel for screwing tapping screws perpendicular to the surface.
• Beneath the surfaces of the horizontal surfaces are two screw channels, three quarters of a circle in cross section, for screwing tapping screws in the direction parallel to the strand. This enables two sections of the extruded profile to be screwed at right angles to one another after the outer surface of a section has been provided with two bores at a predetermined location.
• the upper and lower frames are used for the upper and lower frames.
• the lower profile is given a greater height than the upper profile, so that the height: width ratio of the lower profile is approximately 2: 1 and that of the upper profile is approximately 1: 1.
• the profile used below then has the Hammerkof screw groove on its horizontal outer surface at a distance from the outer corner, which allows the surface between the corner and the groove channel to be used as a design surface for attaching decorative elements. This also ensures that long-pile carpet or the like does not make opening the doors more difficult, since the doors swing open at a sufficient distance from the floor.
• the screw channels in the horizontal outer surface, which is on the floor, can be omitted if the device is not to be screwed to a hollow floor.
• the profile used for the construction of the upper frame can also have an opening for hanging a crane hook above the inside corner, from which the housing or the entire mounted air conditioner can be raised.
• the inner corner is preferably slightly beveled in order to facilitate the insertion of the crane hook.
• the Screw channels on the horizontal outer surface, which point upwards in the upper frame, are used to fasten components and to connect air channels.
• the air conditioning housing according to the invention constructed with the extruded profiles can be used universally and all components required in air conditioning technology can be fastened therein without great effort.
• the extruded profile is in long sections, for. B. made of aluminum in a maximum of two different variants for the upper and lower frames.
• the profile can be cut to the required length so that housings can be made in any conceivable dimension.
• the right-angled screwing of two profile sections can be done simply by one profile from its vertical outer wall on two e.g. predrilled through a template and then screwed to the inner, three-quarter circle screw channels of the second section.
• the profiles have only the fastening options that are actually required in the construction of air conditioning housings and are therefore inexpensive to manufacture and have the greatest possible stability in that there are no unnecessary cutouts or the like. Therefore, the required stability can be achieved with a minimal amount of material.
• a rubber lip or a rubber sealing profile can be inserted into the outer sealing groove, which seals the housing parts to be attached to the outside in an airtight manner against the frame.
• This double wall in the edge area is ideal for providing fasteners in the recesses for attaching the panels and doors to the frame.
• This can e.g. Be snappers, which are attached to the profile and engage with a hook in a recess in the double wall of the panel.
• These catches preferably consist of two parts, one part of which can be fastened in the hammerhead groove channel on the vertical outside of the profile and which is connected to the second part via a compression spring.
• the first part fastened in the hammer head groove channel has a guide pin, while the second part has a hook.
• the second part is inserted into the hammerhead groove channel and leads from it in the horizontal direction.
• the second part is pushed away from the first by the compression spring between the first and second part of the catch. If the panel with the recess in the double wall is pressed against the guide pin and snap hook, the hook is pushed against the compression spring to the first part and then engages in the recess in the panel.
• a hinge can be attached in the hammerhead groove channel on the vertical outside of the construction profile. From above or below, a pin then engages in a hole in the upper or lower narrow side of the double wall.
• a swivel hinge consisting of two spaced axes of rotation is attached in the aforementioned hammerhead groove channel, which engage via two equally long swivel levers in a hinge counterpart on the swivel panel, the two swivel axes of which are attached at the same distance from one another as that of the swivel hinge.
• fasteners can be introduced into the hammerhead groove channel on the vertical outside of the profile. These can be, for example, magnetic holders or the snapper described above.

• the vertical inner surface B has a screw channel 3, to which in turn components can be fastened or, in the case of the profile which forms the lower frame (FIG. 2), serves to fasten the base plate. Furthermore, the vertical inner surface can have an opening for hanging a crane hook 4. This opening is made above the inner corner 5, which is preferably beveled in order to facilitate the insertion of the crane hook into the opening 4. Since this opening only makes sense on the profile used at the top, if two different embodiments of the profile are produced, this suspension opening on the lower profile can be omitted.
• the horizontal outer surface C has two screw channels 6, 7 for screwing tapping screws. These can again be omitted in two different embodiments of the profile in the lower profile, since this side faces the floor and the screw channels are then not absolutely necessary. In the upper profile, these screw channels are suitable for fastening components or an air channel running above the air conditioner.
