Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner installation stand for installing an outdoor unit of a room air conditioner or a packaged air conditioner, and more particularly to a cantilever type air conditioner installation for supporting the outdoor unit by a pair of cantilevered frames. Regarding the stand.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are many types of air conditioner installation bases, for example, for sloping roofs, flat grounds, ridge spans, depending on the application.
They are categorized as wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, window-mounted, handrail-mounted, etc. Of these, the wall mount, window mount, and handrail mounts all project from the base that is mounted along the vertical surface of the wall, etc., in the direction perpendicular to the wall, and are spaced horizontally in parallel with the wall. The air conditioner outdoor unit is supported by a pair of cantilevered frames that are arranged in parallel and can be called a cantilever type air conditioner installation stand.

FIG. 5 shows a typical wall-mounted air conditioner installation base in order to explain a conventional cantilever type air conditioner installation base. The base portion 1 is composed of one horizontal member 2 fixed to the wall surface, and two vertical members 3 and 3 hanging downward from two positions of the horizontal member 2, and the frames 4 and 4 are the vertical members 3 and 3. , 3 from the lower end to the front side. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is placed on the frames 4 and 4, and is installed on the wall surface in a suspended state.

[0004]

In such a cantilever type air conditioner installation stand, when the outdoor unit is placed on the frames 4 and 4, the base unit 1 and the frame 4 and the frame 4, due to the weight of the outdoor unit.
4 is bent, and the tip ends of the frames 4 and 4 are lowered. As a result, the outdoor unit tilts toward you. Moreover, the tip ends of the frames 4 and 4 do not drop uniformly, but much drop on either side. As a result, the outdoor unit also leans sideways. This is because the main parts such as the compressor and the motor in the outdoor unit are mounted on one of the left and right sides, and the center of gravity does not exist in the center. Besides, these inclinations are large and cause deterioration of the appearance and stability of the outdoor unit.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an air conditioner installation stand on which an outdoor unit can be installed horizontally even though it is a relatively unstable cantilever type. To do.

[0006]

An air conditioner installation base according to the present invention projects from a base portion mounted along a vertical surface of a wall surface or the like in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface and has a space in a horizontal direction parallel to the wall surface. In a cantilever type air conditioner installation stand that supports an air conditioner outdoor unit by a pair of parallel cantilever type frames, a level adjusting mechanism that independently adjusts the height of the tip of each frame is provided.

In the air conditioner installation stand according to a second aspect of the present invention, as the level adjusting mechanism, a pair of upper and lower ends connected to the front end or the center of each frame and a lower end connected to a base below the frame. Each frame is supported by a diagonal member, and the connecting position between the frame and the diagonal member is variable in the longitudinal direction of the frame.

In the air conditioner installation stand according to a third aspect of the present invention, as the level adjusting mechanism, a pair of upper and lower ends is connected to a front end or a central part of each frame and a lower end is connected to a base part below the frame. Each frame is supported by a diagonal member, and a bracket is pivotally coupled to the upper end of the diagonal member by a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the frame, and the frame base end side of the bracket is a horizontal axis that is parallel to the horizontal axis. A portion is pivotally connected to the frame, and the frame is supported from below by a vertical bolt screwed into a nut attached to a frame tip side portion of the bracket.

[0009]

In the air conditioner installation stand according to the present invention,
The outdoor unit is horizontally installed by pushing up by the level adjustment mechanism by the amount by which the tip of the frame is lowered due to the weight of the outdoor unit.

In the air conditioner installation stand according to the second aspect of the present invention, the slant member suppresses the forward leaning of the outdoor unit due to its own weight. By moving the connection position between the frame and the diagonal member in the longitudinal direction of the frame, the frame rotates about the base end, and the height of the tip of the frame is adjusted. As a result, the remaining forward tilt and the lateral tilt due to the deviation of the center of gravity of the outdoor unit are eliminated.

In the air conditioner installation stand according to a third aspect of the present invention, the diagonal member prevents the outdoor unit from leaning forward due to its own weight. Even when the outdoor unit is placed on the frame, the tip of the frame is easily lowered by reducing the screwed amount of the bolt, and the tip of the frame is easily raised by increasing the screwed amount of the bolt. As a result, the leftward tilt and the lateral tilt due to the deviation of the center of gravity of the outdoor unit are easily and accurately resolved.

The cross member 11 is made of an angle member having a C-shaped cross section. The slit-shaped opening faces the front surface, and a plurality of fixing metal fittings 13 fitted to the front surface are fixed to the wall surface by screws. The cross member 11 is fixed to the wall surface. Vertical material 12
Is made of a C-shaped material similar to the cross member 11, both ends of which overlap the cross members 11, 11 and are connected to the cross members 11, 11 by bolts 14 and nuts 15 penetrating the both members. The joint portion is reinforced by a slide fitting 16 inserted in the cross member 11. The bolt holes provided in the horizontal member 11 are the vertical members 1
In order to adjust the distance between 2 and 12, it is a long hole that is long in the longitudinal direction.

The frame 20 is made of a C-shaped material similar to the horizontal members 11 and the vertical members 12, and has a slit-shaped opening 21.
Is facing upwards. The base end of the frame 20 is a cross member 1
A vertical member 1 is provided by a bolt 22 and a nut 23 which are parallel to 1.
It is connected to the upper end of 2. A protective cap 24 made of resin is attached to the tip of the frame 20. The air conditioner outdoor unit is mounted on the frames 20 and 20 via two cushions 25 on each of the left and right sides, and is fixed by screws 26. The cushions 25, 25 on each side are the frame 20
It is fitted in the opening 21 of and the distance is adjusted by moving along the opening 21. Also, the vertical members 12, 1
By adjusting the distance by 2, the distance between the frames 20, 20 is adjusted.

The diagonal member 30 is inclined downward toward the wall surface. The lower end portion of the diagonal member 30 has bolts 31 and nuts 32 parallel to the cross member 11, similar to the base end portion of the frame 20.
Is joined to the lower end of the vertical member 12. Diagonal 30
The upper end of the frame is connected to the vicinity of the tip of the frame 20 via a crank metal fitting 33 for adjusting the level.

The crank metal fitting 33 is a U-shaped bracket when viewed from the front, and the substantially central portions of both side walls are connected to the upper end portion of the diagonal member 30 by bolts 34 and nuts 35 parallel to the cross member 11. The ends of both side walls on the wall side are cross members 1
It is connected to the frame 20 by bolts 36 and nuts 37 parallel to 1. A welding nut 38 is attached to the bottom plate of the diagonal member 30. The vertical bolt 39 screwed into the welding nut 38 hits the lower surface of the frame 20,
The load of the air conditioner outdoor unit on the frame 20 is received. Then, by reducing the screwing amount of the bolt 39,
The tip of the frame 20 is lowered, and the tip of the frame 20 is raised by increasing the screwing amount of the bolt 39. As a result, the heights of the tips of the frames 20, 20 on both sides are independently adjusted.

In this air conditioner installation stand, the bolt 2
2 and nut 23, bolt 31 and nut 32, bolt 34 and nut 35, bolt 36 and nut 3
Before finishing tightening 7, the outdoor unit is placed on the frames 20, 20. As a result, the tips of the frames 20, 20 are lowered. Since each frame 20 is supported by the diagonal members 30 from below, the fall is relatively small, but not zero. Also, the respective fall amounts are not the same. Therefore, the bolt 3
Adjust the screwing amount of 9,39.

If the screwing amount of the bolt 39 is reduced,
With the crank metal fitting 33 as a starting point, the tip of the frame 20 is lowered, and when the screwing amount of the bolt 39 is increased, the tip of the frame 20 is raised. Left and right bolts 39,3
By operating 9 independently, not only the forward leaning phenomenon due to the weight of the outdoor unit but also the lateral leaning due to the deviation of the center of gravity of the outdoor unit is eliminated. Thus, when the outdoor unit becomes horizontal, the bolts and nuts are completely tightened. Thus,
Although the frames 20 and 20 are unstable and cantilevered, the outdoor unit above them is installed horizontally.

Further, the air conditioner installation base is based on the base unit 1.
Frames 20 and 20 project from the top of 0 to the front side,
The frames 20, 20 are the base portion 10 and the diagonal members 30, 3.
Since it is configured to be supported from below by 0,
The base portion 10 does not exist above the frames 20 and 20. Therefore, even if there is a protruding portion on the upper portion of the wall surface due to a beam or the like, the frames 20 and 20 can be positioned immediately below the protruding portion.

Conventionally, since the base portion 10 projects above the frames 20, 20, it is necessary to avoid the projection portion and mount the base portion 10 under the base portion 10. Then, the frames 20 and 20 are located at a position considerably lower than the protruding portion. On the other hand, in this air conditioner installation stand, even if there is a protruding portion on the upper part of the wall surface, the frame 20, 2 is placed immediately below the protruding portion.
0 can be located. Therefore, the air conditioner installation stand is superior in safety and space provision because the outdoor unit can be installed at a higher position. Further, since the base portion 10 is removed from the back of the outdoor unit and the space thereof is widened, the work on the back side and the like are facilitated.

Considering the strength, since the height of the base portion 10 is lower than in the conventional case, the mounting strength of the base portion 10 on the wall surface is lowered. However, recent outdoor units are becoming smaller and lighter, and there is no particular problem in practical use.
To increase the strength, the base portion 10 may be extended downward. Even if the base portion 10 is extended downward, it is not necessary to connect the lower end portion of the diagonal member 30 to the lowermost portion thereof. The mounting strength of the frames 20, 20 to the base portion 10 is improved rather by using the diagonal members 30, 30. Judging comprehensively, the strength is also superior to the conventional one. Therefore, as described above, the forward lean due to the weight of the outdoor unit is suppressed.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an air conditioner installation stand showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this air conditioner installation base, the base portion 10 is composed of one horizontal member 11 and two vertical members 12 and 12 suspended from both ends of the horizontal member 11.
The bases of the frames 20, 20 are connected to the vertical members 12 near the lower ends thereof by bolts and nuts parallel to the horizontal members 11. The lower end of the diagonal member 30 is joined to the lower end of the vertical member 12 by bolts and nuts parallel to the horizontal member 11. The upper end of the diagonal member 30 is a bolt 30 parallel to the cross member 11.
It is connected to the vicinity of the tip of the frame 20 by a and a nut. The bolt holes provided on both side walls of the frame 20 are elongated holes 30 b extending in the longitudinal direction of the frame 20. The long hole 30b allows the frame 20 and the diagonal member 3
By moving the coupling position of 0 in the longitudinal direction of the frame 20 and rotating the frame 20 around the base end, the height of the tip is adjusted. By adjusting the connecting position of the frame 20 and the diagonal member 30 independently on the left and right, not only the forward leaning phenomenon due to the weight of the outdoor unit but also the lateral leaning due to the bias of the center of gravity of the outdoor unit is eliminated. It becomes an effective level adjustment mechanism.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of an air conditioner installation stand showing still another embodiment of the present invention. A bolt 3 that connects the base unit 10 and the frame 20 like the air conditioner installation base.
By moving 0c along the long hole 30d,
The height of the tip of the frame 20 can be adjusted. Further, it can be combined with the level adjusting mechanism of FIG.

The diagonal member 30 may be connected to the frame 20 either at the center of the frame 20 or at its tip.

Although the above-mentioned embodiments are all wall-mounted air conditioner installation bases, it goes without saying that they can be applied to other cantilever type air conditioner installation bases such as those for window hangings and for handrails.

[0028]

As described above, the air conditioner installation stand according to the present invention is provided with the level adjusting mechanism for independently adjusting the heights of the tips of the pair of frames on which the air conditioner outdoor unit is mounted. Despite the unstable cantilever type, the inclination of the outdoor unit can be eliminated, and the outdoor unit can be installed with good appearance and stability.

In the air conditioner installation stand according to the second aspect, the height of the tip of the frame can be adjusted with a simple structure by making the connecting position of the frame and the diagonal member variable.

In the air conditioner installation stand according to the third aspect, the height of the tip of the frame can be adjusted by adjusting the screwing amount of the bolt even when the outdoor unit is mounted on the frame. Therefore, the adjustment accuracy is high. Also, the adjustment work is easy.
