DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner which can be easily installed without hanging an opening provided in a ceiling when the air conditioner is hung on a bolt hanging from a beam above the ceiling. The present invention relates to an air conditioner capable of performing alignment between a mouth and a ceiling opening.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a suspended type air conditioner,
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-16981 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-3869 are known. In the air conditioner according to the publication, a hanging metal fitting is provided on a peripheral wall of a housing, and a bolt is hung from a ceiling.

Then, the air conditioner is inserted into the ceiling from an opening provided in the ceiling, and the bolts and the hanging fittings are screwed together to perform the mounting work.

At this time, the opening is formed to be larger than the insertion part of the air conditioner so that the air conditioner can be easily inserted. After the air conditioner is installed, the opening of the ceiling is covered with the intake port. As described above, the intake port is formed slightly larger than the opening.

When mounting bolts on beams, etc.,
The air conditioner is installed so that the intake port of the air conditioner coincides with the position of the opening provided in the ceiling, but in practice, it does not always coincide for various reasons. Therefore, the fixing position of the bolt is adjusted in the range of the elongated hole of the hanging metal fitting so that they match.

[0006]

However, there has been a problem that a part of the opening is exposed when the mounting position of the bolt is largely displaced and exceeds the adjustment range of the elongated hole of the hanging bracket.

Therefore, the present invention provides an air conditioner in which the opening provided in the ceiling is not exposed even when the mounting position of such a bolt exceeds the adjustment range of the elongated hole. The purpose is to:

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention hangs on an intake port serving as an intake port for harmoniously air and a bolt attached to a beam or the like above the ceiling. In an air conditioner having an air conditioner for conditioning inhaled air and a delivery unit for delivering the conditioned air, an intake port is provided in a casing of the air conditioner, The makeup air inlet is inserted into the ceiling opening and fixed to the air conditioner, and a position regulating member that regulates the position of the makeup air inlet with respect to the ceiling opening.

[0009] Even when the mounting position of the bolt mounted on the beam or the like is out of the predetermined range, the position of the makeup air inlet with respect to the opening of the ceiling is determined by the position regulating member abutting on the opening end of the ceiling. It is characterized by restricting to prevent the opening of the ceiling from being exposed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a cross-sectional configuration when an air conditioner according to the present invention is mounted on a ceiling, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of such an air conditioner when the ceiling side is cut off. .

The air conditioner 1 has an intake port 4, which serves as a passage for inhaling room air, an air conditioner 5, which regulates the intake air, and a delivery unit 6, which blows the conditioned air into the room. have.

The air conditioner 5 includes a fan 8 for sucking air through a housing intake port 7 provided on the ceiling side, and the fan 8
And a heat exchanger 9 for exchanging heat with the air taken in by the air conditioner for air conditioning. These are housed in the housing 11. The delivery section 6 has a duct 10 and the like for guiding the conditioned air to an outlet (not shown).

The housing 11 is provided with hanging fittings 12 having elongated holes 20 at four outer corners thereof, and is screwed by bolts 13 hanging from beams above the ceiling and nuts (not shown). I have.

The intake port 4 is composed of the above-described casing intake port 7 provided in the housing 11 and a makeup intake port 14 inserted into the opening 3 of the ceiling 2 and screwed to the housing 11. .

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the structure of the makeup intake port 14. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state when the device is inserted into the device.

The makeup air inlet 14 has a decorative plate 15 which is appropriately larger than the opening 3 of the ceiling 2, a filter 16 removably attached to an opening 21 formed in the center of the decorative plate 15, and an opening 21. Ribs 17 protruding around the periphery of the housing, an elastic member 18 provided on the upper surface of the ribs 17 and abutting on the housing intake port 7, and provided at each corner portion of the ribs 17,
And a position regulating member 19 that contacts the peripheral end surface of the opening 3 to regulate the position of the decorative plate 15 in the opening 3.

The installation of the air conditioner 1 based on such a configuration will be described. First, the bolts 13 are inserted into the elongated holes 20 of the hanging fittings 12, fixed with nuts, and the air conditioner 1 is hung.

Then, the makeup inlet 14 is connected to the opening 3 of the ceiling 2.
And fixed to the housing 11 with screws (not shown).
As a result, the elastic member 18 is compressed, and the housing air inlet 7 is compressed.
Close with.

The bolts 13 are designed so that the casing intake port 7 is located at the center of the opening 3 of the ceiling 2 when the air conditioner 5 is suspended, but there are many cases where the bolts 13 do not match due to various circumstances. . In such a case, the position of the bolt 13 is adjusted in the elongated hole 20 of the suspension fitting 12 and fixed at the best position.

However, since the adjustment range is limited to the size of the elongated hole 20, there is a case where the alignment cannot be performed sufficiently. 14 is screwed to the housing 11, and the position of the makeup inlet 14 with respect to the opening 3 of the ceiling 2 at that time is regulated by the position regulating member 19.

Therefore, the opening 3 of the ceiling 2 is
Is always covered, and the situation where the opening 3 is exposed can be prevented.

In the case where the bolt 13 is mounted at a position deviated from the adjustment range as described above, the bolt 13 is tilted when the makeup inlet 14 is mounted, but the bolt 13 is long and can be easily tilted. . Therefore, the mounting work does not become difficult.

Note that the position regulating member 19 is not limited to the above-described configuration. If the size is set so that a
Can be easily inserted into the opening 3 and workability is improved.
In this case, in a state where the housing 11 is hung at a position shifted from the opening 3, the size of the position regulating member 19 is set so that the opening 3 is not exposed even if the makeup inlet 14 is shifted by the gap. I just need.

Further, a configuration as shown in FIG. 5 may be used. The position regulating member 22 shown in FIG. 1 is formed of a U-shaped spring member, and when the decorative intake port 14 is attached to the opening 3 of the ceiling 2, the spring member is elastically deformed so that the opening 3 is closed.
To regulate the position of the decorative plate 15 with respect to the opening 3. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the same effect as the above-described configuration.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The makeup inlet is inserted from the ceiling opening and screwed to the housing, and the position of the makeup inlet relative to the ceiling opening is regulated by the position regulating member. Even if it is, it becomes possible to prevent the opening of the ceiling from being exposed.
