DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an installation frame for installing equipment such as an air conditioner and lighting equipment on a ceiling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to mount an air conditioner on a ceiling, for example, the air conditioner is first hung above the ceiling or the like, then a ceiling base material is mounted, and a ceiling plate is mounted on the ceiling base material. It is common.

[0003] In this case, it is almost impossible to accurately attach the ceiling base material and the ceiling plate around the air conditioner so that no gap is formed between the ceiling base material and the air conditioner from the beginning.
Attaching the ceiling base material a little longer, leaving an approximate opening that seems to be approximately the size of the air conditioner, and then accurately inking the opening and cutting off the excess (see Fig. 7) Then, a ceiling plate was attached in the same manner (see FIG. 8), and a decorative frame was attached to the opening.

[0004]

Conventionally, a ceiling base material and a ceiling plate around an air conditioner have been attached by the above-described method. The construction was extremely troublesome because it had to be performed in an unnatural upward position.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an opening for mounting equipment such as an air conditioner can be easily provided on a ceiling. It is an object of the present invention to provide an installation frame for equipment which can perform ceiling installation around equipment equipment accurately and efficiently.

[0006]

An equipment mounting frame according to the present invention is temporarily attached to a plurality of frame members installed in a frame along the outer periphery of the equipment mounted on a ceiling and the equipment. And a plurality of mounting members.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of one embodiment of a frame for mounting equipment according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a bottom view thereof, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a mounting state of the frame for mounting equipment, FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the ceiling portion showing the use state of the equipment mounting frame. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes an air conditioner mounted on the ceiling, and 2 denotes an equipment mounting for forming an opening for mounting the air conditioner 1. A frame (hereinafter simply referred to as “mounting frame”), 3 is a frame material forming the mounting frame 2, and 4 is a mounting member also forming the mounting frame 2.

The frame member 3 is assembled in a rectangular frame shape along the outer periphery of the air conditioner 1, and the mounting member 4 is attached between the left and right frame members 3, 3 which are parallel to each other. Each of the frame member 3 and the mounting member 4 is formed of a wooden material or a shape member such as an angle steel or a channel steel, and is connected to each other by a plurality of screw members 5. Further, the expected dimension H (height) of the frame material 3 is expected to have a surplus of about 10 mm in the distance from the air conditioner 1 to the ceiling material finished surface (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

In the embodiment, the mounting frame 2 is assembled in a rectangular frame shape corresponding to the shape of the air conditioner 1. However, the mounting frame 2 is not necessarily assembled in a rectangular frame shape, but is assembled in a circular frame shape. In some cases, it depends on the shape of the equipment.

Next, the construction method in such a configuration will be described in order.

First, on the ground, a mounting frame is assembled according to the shape and size of the air conditioner 1 mounted on the ceiling.

Next, the air conditioner 1 is mounted on the ceiling by hanging a plurality of hanging members 6.

Next, the attachment frame 2 is temporarily attached to the air conditioner 1 and the attachment member 4 is temporarily attached to the air conditioner 1 by screwing with a plurality of screw members 7.

The mounting frame 2 is mounted on the air conditioner 1 on the ground.
May be attached in advance.

Further, the mounting frame 2 may be mounted by one-touch using a clip or the like instead of a screw member.

Next, the ceiling base material 7 is assembled, and a ceiling plate 8 is attached to a lower surface of the ceiling base material 7. In this case, the ceiling base material 7 and the ceiling plate 8 around the air conditioner 1
Is assembled and attached by using the frame material 3 as a ruler and closely contacting the frame material 3.

When the assembly and attachment of the ceiling base material 7 and the ceiling plate 8 are all completed, the attachment frame 2 is removed. After that, the decorative frame material 9 made of wood, metal, synthetic resin, or the like is attached (see FIG. 6).

[0018]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

There is no blackening of the opening or the cutting of an extra part of the ceiling base material which cannot be avoided by the conventional method, and there is no equipment such as an air conditioner or a lighting device to be installed facing the ceiling surface. Peripheral ceiling base materials and ceiling panels are made from the frame material of the mounting frame that is pre-installed on the equipment, as a ruler, and simply assembled and installed along with this to easily secure the necessary opening at the installation location of the equipment can do.

In addition, it is possible to maintain high construction accuracy without generating a gap due to a construction error or the like in a peripheral portion of the equipment.

The mounting frame is extremely simple in construction and easy to manufacture, and is extremely economical because it can be used repeatedly.
