JPH06129660A - Method for mounting wall-hang type indoor air conditioner - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a mounting method which prevents piping holes from being deviated when mounting a wall hang type indoor air conditioner. CONSTITUTION:A board 1, which is preliminarily bored to suit a piping opening 2, is fixed with a stud 3. Then, inner wall work around the board 1 is constructed so that an indoor air conditioner is mounted to the front of the board 1 while a pipe 5 pulled out from the opening 2 is connected to the indoor equipment. Prior to the construction of the inner wall, the position of the opening 2 through which the pipe is pulled out is already decided, which protects the position of the opening 2 from being deviated to a great extent. Therefore, the indoor equipment can be mounted with ease so that a drain hose is not forced to be bent excessively, thereby preventing the generation of a trap which may be attributable to water leakage.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for mounting a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit (hereinafter referred to as "indoor unit").

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional indoor unit mounting method is as follows.
Before installing the inner wall, the air conditioner installer will install the piping from the outdoor unit and the drain hose to the indoor unit installation position, then the interior supplier will install the inner wall, and this installer will pre-drill holes for pipe connection in the inner wall. The air conditioner installation company later pulled out the piping from the hole that had been opened in advance and connected it to the indoor unit side.

[0003]

Therefore, there are the following problems.

A. When making a hole in the inner wall in advance, the position and size of this hole are often inaccurate. For this reason, when connecting various pipes to the indoor unit, the positional relationship does not match, which is a laborious task. Further, in the case of a wall-mounted indoor unit, since the installation work is carried out by using a step, an unreasonable force is exerted and the work risk increases.

B. Because the pipes may be bent excessively, traps may be created especially in the drain hose, causing water leaks.If a water leak should occur, it will flow down to the back side of the inner wall. It will be hard.

C. Since the indoor unit is attached to the wall by aligning the connection port on the indoor unit side with the hole made in advance, the mounting position of the indoor unit may deviate from the predetermined position and cause a complaint. The present invention is proposed in view of such a point, and an object thereof is to eliminate the problems described in the above a to c when mounting the indoor unit.

[0007]

The method of mounting the indoor unit according to the present invention is as follows.

A board having an opening formed at a position corresponding to the pipe connection port of the indoor unit is attached to the stud, piping is performed, and the tip of this pipe is extended to the opening of the board and exposed. , Constructing an inner wall around the board, connecting the indoor unit to the front of the board and connecting the tip of the pipe exposed to the pipe connection port of the indoor unit,
How to install a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit consisting of steps.

[0009]

[Function] The size of the board is prepared according to the indoor unit to be mounted. Further, the size and the position of the opening to be opened in this board are also processed according to the indoor unit.
Normally, the sizes of the openings are almost the same. However,
The positions of the connection ports of the pipes may be interchanged between the left and right depending on the model, so it is possible to open the openings on the left and right sides of the board in advance.

The board is nailed to the stud, and the tip of the pipe is pulled out a little from the opening of the board. On this occasion,
It is better to keep the piping on the board so that it will not fall behind.

After the inner wall or interior work is completed, the indoor unit is attached to the front of the board and the pipe is connected to the connection port of the indoor unit.

[0012]

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a board, and the board 1 has such a size that it can be just hidden behind the indoor unit. Reference numeral 2 denotes an opening formed in advance on the board 1 at a position corresponding to the pipe connection port of the indoor unit, and the board 1 is struck with the nail 4 on the stud 3 before the inner wall is constructed. Then, a pipe 5 such as hot water, a refrigerant, and a drain hose is pulled out from the opening 2 to the surface, and is stopped on the board 1 by an arbitrary stopping means 6. This situation is shown in FIG. Next, the inner wall 7 is installed around the board 1, and then the indoor unit 8 is attached to the front surface of the board 1 and the various pipes 5 are connected at the pipe connection port 9 to finish the installation work. This situation is shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the present invention, the board with the opening corresponding to the pipe connection port on the indoor unit side is attached to the stud in advance, so that the indoor unit is connected to the indoor unit after each construction. There is no need to make a hole for drawing out the pipe. Therefore, the following effects are obtained.

A. Since the contractor of the inner wall does not make a hole,
The position and size of the holes do not shift or differ. Therefore, when installing the indoor unit, the pipes can be easily connected, and the force for forcibly pulling out or bending the pipes is not required, so that the work at a high place can be performed safely.

B. Since the pipe is not bent excessively, traps do not occur especially in the drain hose. As a result, there is no fear of water leakage.

C. Since the position of the indoor unit is accurately determined in advance by the board, the indoor unit will not be displaced from the predetermined position. Therefore, there is no concern about complaints from family members.
