Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner mounting table called a flat air conditioner, which is a combination of a square air conditioner support frame and four legs extending downward from four corners of the support frame.

  In order to install outdoor air conditioner equipment such as room air conditioners and outdoor units of packaged air conditioners, various air conditioner installation tables according to installation locations are used. One of them is an air conditioner mounting table called “for flat ground” as described in Patent Document 1.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-35923

  The air conditioner mounting base for flat ground basically consists of the following three basic components. One is an air conditioner support frame configured by combining vertical members on both sides and front and rear cross members into a square shape. The other is four legs extending downward from the four corners of the air conditioner support frame. The last one is a pair of base members on both sides that are spanned between the front and rear cross members between the vertical members on both sides in order to place the air conditioner equipment.

  Although the air conditioner mounting base constituted by combining these members is called for flat ground, it can be installed on stepped land and sloping ground by adjusting the mounting level of the air conditioner support frame to the legs at the four corners.

  When packing such a flat air conditioner mounting base, it is common to disassemble into four bar members, four leg members and two base members that constitute the air conditioner support frame, and bundle them together. It is. By doing so, the packaging can be made smaller, and the space efficiency in transportation, storage and the like is increased. However, on the other hand, at the air conditioner installation site, all members must be assembled from the beginning, which is troublesome.

  In order to simplify the assembling work, an air conditioner mounting table that uses a lot of connection structures by insertion and latching is considered (see Patent Document 1). In addition, an air conditioner mounting table is conceivable in which the four members constituting the air conditioner support frame are assembled in a quadrilateral shape by welding or the like and packed and shipped.

  In the case of the former air-conditioner installation base, although it is necessary to use many connecting structures by insertion and latching, there is no difference in assembling all the components from the beginning, and the assembly workability at the air-conditioner installation site is the same as for the latter air-conditioner installation It is considerably inferior to the stand. In the case of the latter air conditioner mounting stand, the assembly work is completed by simply attaching four legs to the air conditioner support frame that has been completed in advance at the installation site. However, on the other hand, it is inevitable that the packaging becomes large and the efficiency of transportation, storage, etc. is significantly reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner installation table for flat ground that can be easily assembled at an air conditioner installation site and can be reduced in packaging.

  In order to achieve the above object, an air conditioner mounting base according to the present invention includes an air conditioner support frame formed by combining vertical members on both sides and front and rear cross members into a quadrangle, and extends downward from four corners of the support frame. In an air conditioner mounting table for flat ground provided with the four legs that have been taken out, the vertical and horizontal members constituting the air conditioner support frame are projected at the four corners of the air conditioner support frame so as to move parallel to the folded state. The air conditioner support frame is configured in a foldable temporary assembly structure in which the combined vertical and horizontal members are foldable. In order to connect the vertical member and the horizontal member that are abutted at the four corners of the air conditioner support frame so that they can be bent, the vertical member and the horizontal member are rotatably connected by a shaft body that is substantially perpendicular to the air conditioner mounting surface. Is reasonable.

  In the air conditioner mounting base according to the present invention, the vertical member and the transverse member that are abutted at the four corners of the air conditioner support frame are translated in a plane along the air conditioner mounting surface. It can be folded into a parallelogram within a plane along the air conditioner mounting surface, and finally folded into a straight line. If it is packed together with four legs in this folded temporary assembly state, the efficiency will be improved in the same way as when all components are disassembled and bundled. In the assembling work, since the air conditioner support frame is in a temporarily assembled state, the support frame may be expanded from the folded state to a rectangular use state and fixed. If four legs are attached in this state, the assembly is substantially completed.

  Preferably, the leg member is also connected to one of the two members abutted at the four corners of the air conditioner support frame so as to be rotatable, and has a temporary assembly structure that can be folded together with the air conditioner support frame. By doing so, the legs can be packed in a temporarily assembled state, and the assembly work on site is further simplified.

  As for the legs, the cross section is composed of L-shaped angles, and the two orthogonal plane parts are screwed to the vertical and horizontal members that are abutted at the four corners of the air conditioner support frame expanded to a quadrangular use state. The structure which stops and fixes an air-conditioner support frame to the use condition of a rectangle is preferable. According to this configuration, the four legs also serve as a fixing member for the air conditioner support frame. As a result, the fixing member for fixing the air conditioner support frame to a rectangular use state is unnecessary, and an increase in the number of parts is avoided. Is done.

  The air conditioner mounting base according to the present invention has a foldable temporary assembly structure in which the four corners of the rectangular air conditioner support frame are translated into the folded state, and preferably the leg members attached to the four corners of the air conditioner support frame are also air conditioners. By using a temporary assembly structure that can be folded together with the support frame, the assembly workability at the air conditioner installation site can be remarkably improved, and the packaging can be suppressed to a small size, and the transportation efficiency and storage efficiency can be improved. it can.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an air conditioner mounting table showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a form change of the air conditioner mounting table from a packed state (folded state) to a use state (deployed state).

  The air conditioner mounting base according to the present embodiment is for so-called flat ground used for installing air conditioner equipment on a flat surface, a stepped surface or the like. This air conditioner mounting base is a quadrilateral air conditioner support frame 10 having a temporarily assembled structure that can be folded linearly, and extends downward from the four corners of the air conditioner support frame 10, and can be folded linearly with the air conditioner support frame 10. .. Are provided with four base members 30, 30 attached to the support frame for mounting the air conditioner equipment on the air conditioner support frame 10. .

  The rectangular air-conditioner support frame 10 is a rectangular frame that is slightly long on the side, and has a configuration in which the front and rear cross members 11 are connected by vertical members 12 on both sides. The front and rear cross members 11 and 11 are made of a so-called C-shaped material having a U-shaped cross section, and the openings are arranged so as to face each other. The vertical members 12 on both sides are also made of a so-called C-shaped section having a U-shaped cross section, like the front and rear horizontal members 11, 11, with the openings facing each other and both ends at the ends of the horizontal members 11, 11. It is sandwiched between horizontal parts. And in the four corners of the support frame 10 with which both members are abutted, the horizontal portions on the upper side of both members are rotatably connected by a shaft 13 in the vertical direction perpendicular to them. The shaft body 13 is a rivet pin here.

  Such a four-corner pivoting structure allows the rectangular air conditioner support frame 10 to be folded linearly in a horizontal plane parallel to the air conditioner mounting surface. Specifically, the vertical members 12 and 12 and the transverse members 11 and 11 constituting the rectangular air conditioner support frame 10 are translated into a parallelogram in a horizontal plane parallel to the air conditioner mounting surface, and the inclination angle is changed. When strengthened, it finally becomes substantially linear. In order to approach the straight line state, each vertical member 12 is fitted between the upper and lower horizontal portions and overlapped with the horizontal member 11 on one end side to bring the crossing angle close to zero. For the other cross member 11, the crossing angle is widened to approach a straight state.

  Screws for screwing bolts 41 and 41 for connecting the leg members 20 and 20 on both sides to both ends of each vertical member 11, more specifically to both ends of a vertical portion sandwiched between upper and lower horizontal portions A hole is provided. In addition, the bolts 42 and 42 for connecting the leg members 20 and 20 are screwed into both ends of each cross member 12, more specifically, both ends of the vertical portion sandwiched between the upper and lower horizontal portions. Screw holes 12a and 12a are provided.

  The four legs 20, 20,... Extending downward from the four corners of the air-conditioner support frame 10 have L-shaped cross sections, and a plurality of through holes 23 are formed in two orthogonal plane portions 21, 22. , 23... And 24, 24. The through holes 23, 23... And 24, 24... Are insertion holes for the bolts 41 and 42 for screwing the legs 20 to the respective corners of the air conditioner support frame 10, and adjust the mounting position. Are arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the leg member 20, and each hole is a long hole extending long in the longitudinal direction of the leg member 20.

  In the flat portion 21 on the side of the cross member 11, the bolt 41 is temporarily fastened to the screw hole provided in the vertical portion of the cross member 11 through the uppermost through hole 21. Thereby, the leg member 20 rotates around the bolt 41 perpendicular to the vertical portion of the cross member 11, and more specifically, the flat portion 21 on the side of the cross member 11 rotates along the vertical portion of the cross member 11. Move. By this rotation, the leg member 20 is folded from a use state perpendicular to the cross member 11 to a state in which the flat portion 21 on the side of the cross member 11 overlaps the vertical portion of the cross member 11. In order to enable rotation from the use state to the folded state, the uppermost through hole 23 through which the bolt 41 passes is formed in an L-shape with the uppermost portion bent at a right angle, and in the folded state, The bolt 41 is fitted to the bent portion.

  An L-shaped grounding member 60 is attached to the lower end of each leg member 20. In the grounding member 60, the vertical portion 61 is temporarily fixed to the lower end portion of the flat portion 22 on the vertical member 12 side of the leg member 20 by a bolt 43 so as not to hinder the folding of the leg member 20. As a result, the grounding member 60 is in a state in which the horizontal portion 62, which is the bottom surface portion, overlaps the flat surface portion 21 on the side of the cross member 11 of the leg member 20 and does not hinder the folding of each leg member 20.

  The base members 30 and 30 are stretched between the front and rear transverse members 11 and 11 between the longitudinal members 12 and 12 on both sides. These base members 30 and 30 are made of C-shaped members that are open to the lower side, and both end portions that are placed on the front and rear cross members 11 and 11 are fixed to the cross members 11 and 11 by hook-type fixing members 50 and 50. . Each base member 30 has guides 11a.. 11 formed by raising the opposite ends of the upper surfaces of the cross members 11, 11. It is guided laterally by 11a. For this guidance, guides 11a. Cuts 31, 31 into which 11a is fitted are provided at the lower edge of each side plate.

  Front and rear screw holes 32 and 32 are provided in the flat portions of the base materials 30 and 30 in order to screw the air conditioner equipment. The screw holes 32, 32 are elongated holes extending in the longitudinal direction so that the screwing position can be adjusted according to the depth of the air conditioner equipment. Reference numerals 70 and 70 denote cushions attached to the screw holes 32 and 32.

  Next, the packing state and use state of the air-conditioner installation base concerning this embodiment are demonstrated.

  In the packaged state, the rectangular air conditioner support frame 10 is folded in a straight line by parallel movement in a plane parallel to the air conditioner mounting surface. Specifically, the front and rear cross members 11, 11 are abutted in a state of being displaced to both sides, and the vertical members 12, 12 on both sides are fitted between the upper and lower horizontal members of the cross members 11, 11 connected to one end side. Get stuck. Each leg member 20 is folded so that the flat portion 21 overlaps the vertical part of the connected cross member 11 and overlaps the cross member 11. The grounding member 60 is also folded so as not to hinder the folding of the corresponding leg member 20.

  Thus, in this air conditioner mounting base, all members except the base members 30, 30 on both sides are folded linearly in a temporarily assembled state. And if base member 30,30 is piled up on this, all the members will be packed in the elongate very compact form.

  When using, when packing, the air-conditioner support frame 10 is first expanded from a straight shape to a quadrangle. Since the air-conditioner support frame 10 is temporarily assembled, this unfolding operation is performed only by pulling the connecting portion of the transverse member 11 and the longitudinal member 12 extending linearly outward. Next, the four legs 20, 20,.. Since each leg member 20 is temporarily fixed to the cross member 11, this standing work is also extremely simple.

  The leg member 20 that has been erected is screwed into the screw hole of the cross member 11 as it is with the bolt 41 for temporary fixing that has been a pivotal support point. Another bolt 42 is screwed into the screw hole 12 of the longitudinal member 12 through the through hole 24 provided in the flat portion 22 of the leg member 20. The plane portion 21 of the leg member 20 is fixed to the vertical portion of the cross member 11, and the plane portion 22 is fixed to the vertical portion of the longitudinal member, whereby the air conditioner support frame 10 is fixed to a regular square. At the same time, the legs 20 are fixed to the four corners of the air conditioner support frame 10.

  Finally, the grounding member 60 temporarily fixed to the lower end portion of each leg member 20 by the bolt 43 is rotated to a normal position where the horizontal portion faces downward, and the bolt 43 is finally tightened as it is. Thereby, the attachment of the grounding member 60 is also completed.

  If the base materials 30 and 30 of both sides are spanned between the cross members 11 and 11 before and behind the air-conditioner support stand assembled in this way, the air-conditioner support stand is completed. In general, the base members 30 and 30 on both sides are first attached to the air conditioner device side, and are mounted on the air conditioner support base together with the air conditioner device.

  Thus, in the air conditioner installation stand according to the present embodiment, the rectangular air conditioner support frame 10 is temporarily assembled and can be folded linearly. The leg members 20, 20... Attached to the four corners of the air conditioner support frame 10 are also temporarily fixed to the four corners, and can be folded linearly together with the air conditioner support frame 10. Further, the grounding members 60 attached to the lower ends of the leg members 20, 20,.

  Therefore, the air conditioner mounting base according to the present embodiment is efficiently packed in a non-bulk and elongated shape, and is excellent in transportation efficiency and storage efficiency. In addition, most of the members are temporarily assembled in use, so that the assembly work is extremely difficult. It is easy and it is excellent in assembly work.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an air conditioner mounting table showing another embodiment of the present invention.

  The above-described air conditioner mounting table shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is for a single level flat land, but the air conditioner mounting table according to the present embodiment is for a two level flat ground.

  In the case of two steps of flat ground, the rectangular air conditioner support frame 10 is supported in two steps by the four legs 20, 20,. The upper and lower air conditioner support frames 10 and 10 are temporarily assembled so as to be foldable with the four corners as a rotating structure, similarly to the above-described single-stage air conditioner mounting base.

  In the above-described single-stage air conditioner mounting stand, the four leg members 20, 20... Are less than half the length of the cross member 11, and the leg members 20, 20 on both sides are arranged horizontally. It can be overlaid on the material 11. However, since the length of the leg member 20 exceeds the length of the cross member 11 in the two-stage air conditioner mounting table, it is not easy to overlap the leg members 20 and 20 on both sides with the cross member 11. For this reason, the four leg members 20, 20,... Are separated from the air conditioner support frames 10, 10, and are fixed by bolts 41, 42 as usual.

  Even in such a case, since the upper and lower air conditioner support frames 10 and 10 have a temporary assembly structure that can be folded linearly, the assembling work is easier compared to the case where the air conditioner support frame 10 is disassembled. Needless to say, the packaging is superior to those fixed to the frame.

  In addition, although the rivet type pin was used in the above-mentioned embodiment as the shaft body 13 that rotatably connects the four corners of the air conditioner support frame 10, screws can also be used. In the case of screws, the shaft support portion can be rotated in the temporarily tightened state, and is fixed by the final tightening. As a kind of pin connection, it is possible to hinge-connect adjacent vertical members 12 and cross members 11 like a hinge. Since the corner portion can be fixed by using the leg member 20, the fixing by tightening the shaft support portion is not necessarily required regardless of the shaft support structure.

It is a perspective view of the air-conditioner installation stand which shows one Embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the form change from the packing state (folding state) of the same air-conditioning installation stand to a use state (expanded state). It is a perspective view of the air-conditioner installation stand which shows another embodiment of this invention.
