Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an installation structure of a wall-embedded air conditioner unit which is installed by inserting it into an opening of an interior wall, and more particularly, when the opening is formed in the interior wall, it becomes excessive. The present invention relates to an installation structure of a wall-embedded air conditioner unit capable of preventing opening.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, installation of a wall-embedded air conditioner unit 1 is performed by forming an opening 3 in the interior wall 2 having a size substantially equal to the outer contour of the unit. The reinforcing member 4 is provided on the back surface 2a of the indoor wall in accordance with the position of the portion 3, the frame member 5 is inserted from the opening 3 and supported by the reinforcing member 4, and the air conditioner unit 1 is housed in the frame member 5. After that, it is fixed and the opening 3 is covered with the front grill 1b of the air conditioner unit 1.

The frame member 5 is formed in a rectangular shape having a rectangular cross section in the insertion direction of the air conditioner unit 1 to be installed, and is formed in a rectangular shape equal to this, and the frame member 5 protrudes from the back surface 2a of the indoor wall. The outer peripheral portion is supported from the inner wall rear surface portion 2a by surrounding the outer peripheral portion, that is, from the upper, lower, left and right sides. Further, the frame member 5 formed in a rectangular shape is configured by connecting wood plates, which are long plates 5c along the left and right sides and short plates 5d along the height direction, to each other at corner portions.

Regarding these dimensional relationships, for example, the vertical width of the inner shell 5a of the frame member 5 is set to a dimension X substantially equal to the outer shell of the air conditioner unit 1 including the pipe 1c, and the vertical width of the opening 3 is It is made equal to the dimension X. The reinforcing member 4 is provided on the back surface 2a of the interior wall where the opening 3 is formed, separately in upper and lower portions, and the width between the inner sides is the vertical width Z of the outer shell 5b of the frame member 5.
Is equal to The vertical width Y of the front grill 1b (that is, (Z−X) / 2 is the plate thickness of the frame member 5) is such that the opening 3 is completely covered and does not become too large. The dimension is larger than X and smaller than the vertical width Z of the outer shell 5b of the frame member 5.

Since the reinforcing members 4 are individually provided on the upper and lower sides and have a relatively large space on the inner side and the lateral side of the opening 3, if the frame member 5 is slanted, the opening 3 extends from the interior wall. It can be placed in the back surface 2a. The width of the front grill 1b in the left-right direction is larger than that of the front grill 1b so as to cover the opening 3 with a margin.

[0006]

The installation of such a wall-embedded air conditioner unit has the following problems.

The vertical width X of the frame member 5 is determined in consideration of the space for accommodating the pipe 1c. If the vertical width X is larger than the vertical width Y of the front grill 1b, the opening portion can be covered with the front grill. However, there is a problem that a large amount of time and labor is required to repair the interior wall, etc. Depending on the material and finish of the interior wall, it may not be possible to repair it, and it was necessary to use a large front grill or front decorative plate to cover the gap.

The above problem can be solved by increasing the outer size of the front grill and taking a large amount of wrap around the opening. However, the front grill is required to be attached to a small wall because of its appearance because of its compact appearance. For the reason, it is desirable to make the outer dimension as small as possible.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when forming an opening in an indoor wall, use a frame member to accurately and easily make an opening approximately equal to the insertion diameter of the air conditioner unit. It is to provide an installation structure of a wall-embedded air conditioner unit that can be formed in

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is to form an opening in an indoor wall, insert an air conditioner unit into the opening, and project from the opening to a back surface of the indoor wall. In the installation structure of the wall-embedded air conditioner unit in which a frame member that surrounds the unit and is supported from the back surface of the indoor wall is attached to the outer periphery of the unit, the frame members are connected by joint members so that they can be expanded and contracted. The joint member connects the upper long plates of the frame member, and connects the long plates to the left and right short plates in a vertically adjustable manner.

[0011]

With the above construction, when the indoor wall is opened, the frame member is reduced, and the indoor wall is opened in accordance with the outline of the frame member, so that the opening can be minimized, and then the air conditioner is expanded. By adjusting according to the unit, the opening can be surely covered by the front grill and the vertical width of the front grill can be minimized.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the rectangular frame member 5 is formed so as to surround the outer peripheral portion of the air conditioner unit 1, and the upper and lower long plates 6 along the left and right sides. 7 and a short plate 8 along the height direction, which are connected to each other at corners to form a rectangular shape.

On the upper part of the short plate 8, a joint member 9 for connecting the upper long plate 6 so that the vertical position thereof can be adjusted is attached.

The joint member 9, as shown in detail in FIG.
It is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section, and the upper long plate 6 is provided on its horizontal portion 9a.
A hole 11 for fixing the screw is formed in the vertical portion 9b.
An elongated hole 12 for adjusting the vertical position of the upper elongated plate 6 is formed.

The screw 10 is inserted into the long hole 12 and the short plate 8 is inserted.
By loosely stopping the joint member 9, the upper long plate 6 can move up and down.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

When installing the wall-embedded air conditioner unit 1, first, the opening 3 of the indoor wall 2 is formed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper long plate 6 is in the most contracted state. Then, the screws 10 are temporarily fixed, and marking is performed according to the vertical width h and the horizontal width W of the frame member 5. As a result, the smallest opening 3 into which the frame member 5 can be inserted can be formed.

Next, the air conditioner unit 1 is inserted into the frame member 5, the height of the upper long plate 6 of the frame member 5 is adjusted in consideration of the size of the pipe 1d, and then the screw 10 is tightened and fixed.

As a result, the air conditioner unit 1 can be housed in the frame member 5 and can be supported by the reinforcing member 4. After the air conditioner unit 1 is housed and fixed in the frame member 5, a front grill (not shown) is attached to complete the process.

As described above, since the frame member 5 can be enlarged / reduced, the indoor wall 2 can be prevented from being excessively opened, the front grill can be downsized, and the installation position of the air conditioner unit 1 can be achieved. The degree of freedom can be increased and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. The joint member 9 has a simple structure, so that the frame member 5 whose size can be adjusted can be provided at low cost.

[0022]

The present invention exhibits the following excellent effects.

(1) In a state where the frame member is assembled, it can be pressed against the wall surface for marking out and can also be used as a paper pattern.

(2) A mistake in opening dimension work when installing for an existing construction can be eliminated.

(3) Front grill and wall removing wrap It is not necessary to take a wide margin, the front grill can be made to have a bottom, the height dimension of the small wall can be broadened, and the grill is compact, resulting in cost reduction. Can be suppressed.
