Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for installing a so-called built-in type air conditioner in an air-conditioned room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, an air conditioner often used for general households is divided into an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, and the units are connected by a refrigerant pipe or a power cable. .

On the indoor unit side, a so-called wall-hanging type which is easily attached to the wall of the air-conditioned room has been used so far, but it is often used. Is damaged.

Therefore, as a tendency especially in new houses, a space for installing the unit main body is secured inside the decorative wall of the air-conditioned room, and it is attached to the unit main body to project into the air-conditioned room. With only the front grille,
The so-called built-in type is often used to remove the feeling of pressure and improve the aesthetics.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a built-in type indoor unit is installed. The columns 3 and 3 for constructing the air-conditioned room R are set up, and the reinforcing plates 4 and 4 are provided between these columns 3 and 3 at a predetermined interval. An installation frame 5 formed in the same shape is fitted into a rectangular space formed by the columns 3 and 3 and the reinforcing plates 4 and 4.

An L metal fitting 6 is attached and fixed along the tip edge of the installation frame 5. The edges of the installation frame 5 and the L metal fitting 6 are joined and connected in a direction orthogonal to each other by a receiving metal fitting 7 as shown in FIG.

A wall base material is attached to the tip of the L metal fitting 6 and a cloth material is attached to the wall base material in the case of a Western-style room, or a painted wall material is applied in the case of a Japanese-style room to form a decorative wall 2 Can be finished.

The unit main body 1 is inserted into the installation frame 5 and attached and fixed by a predetermined means. That is,
The unit body 1 is installed.

A grill mounting metal fitting 8 is provided at a predetermined portion on the front surface side of the unit main body 1, and a front grill 9 having substantially the same shape area as the front surface of the unit main body 1 is provided there.
Is fixed. The front grill 9 is in contact with the leading edge of the L fitting 6.

Such a unit main body 1 has a ceiling plate 10
It is usually installed at a high place in the room R to be air-conditioned.

[0011]

As described above, when installing a built-in type indoor unit in both a Western-style room and a Japanese-style room, an opening of a required size is first provided at a required position of the wall base plate. After that, the installation frame 5 including the L metal fitting 6 is attached and fixed. Then, the decorative wall 2 is finished according to the tip of the L fitting 6.

Then, the unit body 1 from the air-conditioned room R side
Is lifted, inserted into the installation frame 5 through the opening of the decorative wall 2 formed by the L metal fitting 6, and installed.

Therefore, in either case of a Japanese or Western room, the work finish of the decorative wall 2 is first and the installation of the unit main body 1 is the later work order.

However, since the unit main body 1 is an extremely heavy object, it must be carefully installed. At this time, since the wall surface of the decorative wall 2 is beautifully finished, even a slight contact with the unit main body 1 is not allowed. For installers, this is an extremely nerve-wracking task.

Although the unit main body 1 is first installed in the installation frame 5, the decorative wall 2 is then leaned against to finish the wall surface, the workability of installation on the unit main body 1 is significantly improved. This is not possible with the mounting structure of.

That is, after the unit body 1 is installed,
The opening L of the decorative wall 2 is provided at the front end of the installation frame 5.
It must be fitted into the metal fitting 6. The area of the opening is extremely small as compared with the area of the decorative wall 2, and it is extremely difficult to accurately match the position of the L metal fitting 6.

Therefore, the so-called work of fitting the opening is not only performed on site, but this time the workability of mounting the decorative wall 2 is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object thereof is to install a built-in type air conditioner body without damaging a decorative wall and applying a makeup to the air conditioner body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a built-in type air conditioner installation device that does not use nerves for the position of the opening of the wall and can improve the workability of installing the air conditioner body and finishing the decorative wall. .

[0019]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an air conditioner main body having an installation frame inside the wall of an air-conditioned room and having a suction part and a blowout part on the front side. The decorative wall of the air-conditioned room, which is installed in the installation frame and is slightly larger than the front surface of the air conditioner main body and has an opening with a gap from the installation frame, is provided, and the periphery of the opening of the decorative wall and the installation frame are provided. The built-in type air conditioner installation device is characterized in that a gap between the and is covered with a decorative curtain plate provided along the front end edge of the installation frame.

[0020]

The operation sequence is as follows. First, the air conditioner main body is installed and fixed to the installation frame, and then the decorative wall is finished. At this time, the opening of the decorative wall is provided large without worrying about the engagement with the main body of the air conditioner. Around this work,
The gap between the installation frame and the peripheral edge of the opening is covered with a decorative curtain plate.

Since the main body of the air conditioner, which is a heavy object, is installed first and the decorative wall is finished later, there is no damage to the wall surface.
You don't have to worry about installing the body.

The opening portion of the decorative wall can be made large without worrying about the positional compatibility with the installation frame, and the necessary work can be completed quickly.
