Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protective structure, particularly for air conditioning systems, which can be used to protect external units of air conditioning systems.
  • air conditioning systems are generally constituted by one or more internal units, which are placed inside the rooms to be air conditioned, and by an external unit, which is usually mounted on brackets which are anchored to an external wall at various heights or placed on the balcony or terrace that covers the building.
  • the aim of the invention is to solve the problems described above by providing a protective structure particularly for air conditioning systems which is capable of protecting the external units against the inclemency of the weather and environmental factors and also against accidental or vandalism-related mechanical actions.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a protective structure which allows to reduce maintenance to the external units, protecting systems and wiring and preventing the nesting of birds between the wall and the external unit.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a protective structure which increases the safety of air conditioning systems and is capable of protecting the external units against electrical discharges or fire.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a protective structure which reduces the noise of external units of air conditioning systems and can be fully painted, allowing to reduce its architectural impact.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a protective structure which increases the passive safety of external units of air conditioning systems, providing a valid protection against accidental contacts and impacts, particularly when the external units are installed at eye level.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a protective structure which can be manufactured at competitive costs and is advantageous from a purely economic standpoint.
  • a protective structure particularly for air conditioning units, characterized in that it comprises a substantially rigid box-like body which has at least one open face and includes at least one ventilation opening formed on the remaining closed faces.
  • a protective structure particularly for air conditioning systems, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a box-like body 2 which is shaped like a parallelepiped or, preferably, like a truncated pyramid with a square base, and has dimensions which allow it to contain an external unit 100 of an air conditioning system.
  • the box-like body 2 has a substantially non-deformable structure, at least one face of which is open, the non-deformable structure is made of molded synthetic material and can be monolithic or modular as a function of the requirements or of the constructive choices.
  • Multiple ventilation openings 3 are formed on the closed faces of the box-like body 2 and ensure heat exchange.
  • the openings are protected by a corresponding number of rain flaps 4 which are blended with them.
  • the box-like body 2 has an anchoring means, which is constituted, in this embodiment, by a perforated flange 5, which is joined monolithically to the box-like body 2 and is blended with the edge of its open face and allows to detachably associate it with the floor or a wall 200 after resting the open face against the floor or wall.
  • an anchoring means which is constituted, in this embodiment, by a perforated flange 5, which is joined monolithically to the box-like body 2 and is blended with the edge of its open face and allows to detachably associate it with the floor or a wall 200 after resting the open face against the floor or wall.
  • the condensation is drained by at least one condensation drain hole 6 which is formed in the box-like body 2 and is connected to the external unit 100 of air conditioning systems.
  • the protection offered by the protective structure 1 can be increased by making the box-like body 2 with fire-resistant and self-extinguishing material and by optionally joining a thermally insulating layer, not shown in the figures, to it. Comfort can be increased by means of a soundproofing layer, not shown in the figures, which also is associated with the box-like body 2.
  • each of the ventilation openings 3, instead of being blended with a rain flap 4, is provided with an antibird grille 7, which is joined to the box-like body 2.
  • the protective structure 1 is arranged at the external unit 100 of an air conditioning system, introducing the unit in the box-like body 2 through its open face.
  • the edge of the open face and the perforated flange 5 rest against the wall 200 or the floor, to which they are detachably anchored.
  • the condensation drain hole 6 is connected to the external unit 100 of the air conditioning systems.
  • the protective structure particularly for air conditioning systems, according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects, and it can protect external units, their wiring and their systems against the inclemency of the weather, against environmental factors, and against accidental or vandalism-related mechanical actions.
  • the protective structure according to the invention reduces the noise level of the external units of air conditioning systems and allows to increase their safety by protecting them against electrical discharges or possible fires.
  • the materials used may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
