This type is generally composed of a horizontal frame 1 provided with wall mounting holes and a pair of L-shaped frames 2a and 2b on which the outdoor unit A is mounted. The attached horizontal frame 1 is attached to a wall W or the like with an anchor bolt. Then, the outdoor unit A is placed on the L-shaped frames 2a and 2b and fixed with bolts.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described mounting bracket, when the horizontal frame is mounted on the wall surface with the anchor bolts, the mounting is performed visually, and the mounting bracket made of steel is heavy.
[0005]
That is, since the outdoor unit cannot be kept horizontal unless the horizontal frame is mounted horizontally on the wall surface, for example, the defrost water overflows without being drained from the drain hole of the bread, causing troubles and appearance. In addition, there is a problem in that the load is biased to a specific anchor bolt and the strength is weakened.
[0006]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to enable a mounting bracket to be easily mounted horizontally.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention employs a configuration in which a bubble tube or a level is provided in an outdoor unit mounting bracket for mounting an outdoor unit of a separate air conditioner on a wall surface.
[0008]
By adopting such a configuration, when the mounting bracket is mounted on a wall surface, the mounting bracket is mounted horizontally with reference to a bubble tube or a level provided on the mounting bracket.
[0009]
At this time, the outdoor unit mounting bracket includes a horizontal frame provided with a wall mounting hole and a pair of L-shaped frames on which the outdoor unit is mounted, and a bubble tube or a level is provided on the horizontal frame. At the same time, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the L-shaped frame is bent in two with the fixing bolts being temporarily fixed, and is superimposed on the horizontal frame and shipped in a temporarily fixed state with bolts. .
[0010]
By adopting such a configuration, the mounting bracket is shipped with the L-shaped frame superimposed on the horizontal frame and temporarily fixed with bolts, so that only one shipping part is required and transport is easy. Cost can be reduced.
Further, the temporarily fixed mounting bracket is prepared in a predetermined shape, and the horizontal frame is mounted on the wall surface. At this time, since the L-shaped frame is in a temporarily fixed state, it can be easily and quickly formed into a predetermined shape. When the horizontal frame is mounted on a wall surface, the horizontal standard can be determined by referring to a bubble tube or a level provided on the horizontal frame, so that horizontal mounting can be easily performed.
