Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a separation type air conditioner installation apparatus used when a separation type air conditioner in which an indoor unit and an outdoor unit are connected by a refrigerant pipe is installed using a window. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An air conditioner generally used today is a separation type air conditioner having an outdoor unit and an indoor unit separated from each other. The outdoor unit includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and the like. The indoor unit has an indoor heat exchanger through which the refrigerant from the outdoor unit circulates.

[0003] The installation of such a separation type air conditioner is as follows.
An outdoor unit is installed on a veranda or the like or mounted on an outdoor wall, an indoor unit is mounted on an indoor wall, etc., and a piping hole for passing refrigerant piping is formed in a wall on which the indoor unit is mounted. And the indoor unit are connected by the refrigerant pipe.

Thereafter, the air in the indoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant pipe is released, the valve of the outdoor unit is opened, and the refrigerant filled in the indoor unit is passed over the entire refrigeration circuit to complete the installation operation. .

[0005] Further, even with the same separation type air conditioner,
There has also been proposed a configuration in which an outdoor unit is provided with an engagement member and is hung on a window frame. In this case, the refrigerant pipe is connected to the outdoor unit and the indoor unit via the window, and thereafter, various operations during installation are performed in the same manner as the above-described operation.

[0006]

However, when a pipe hole is formed in a wall, if the owner of the building and the user of the air conditioner are different from each other, such as in an apartment, for example, the owner of the building may have a hole. There is a problem that it takes time and effort to obtain permission to open.

In the case of a configuration in which the outdoor unit is hung on the window frame, the outdoor unit must be lifted and hung on the window frame.
Since the outdoor unit has a considerable weight and is in a substantially waist state during the operation, the workability is poor and there is a risk that the outdoor unit may be accidentally dropped.

In addition, in the case of a configuration in which the outdoor unit is hung on the window frame, the depth of the window frame (the distance between the outside and the outside) is not always constant, so that if the width of the engaging member is determined, the width of the engagement member is determined. When the window frame is larger than the hanging width, the outdoor unit cannot be mounted. On the contrary, when the window frame is smaller than the hanging width, the outdoor unit becomes unstable.

In this case, the hanging width of the engaging member can be provided so as to be adjustable. However, since the engaging member is formed integrally with the outdoor unit, it cannot be matched with the actual unit, and the window can be adjusted by a measure or the like. The depth of the frame is measured, and the width of the engaging member is adjusted to that dimension.

However, since the window frame has various projections and is not flat in the depth direction, a measurement error is likely to occur, and the outdoor unit may need to be hung and removed many times.

Further, since the window frame is provided to slightly protrude also on the outdoor side, a gap is generated between the outdoor unit and the outer wall. At this time, if the outdoor unit is simply hung on the window frame, the outdoor unit is swept by the wind, causing the engaging members to experience metal fatigue, and the load is concentrated on the engaging portion, so that the outdoor unit is not slid. The outdoor unit may hit the outer wall and damage the outer wall and the like.

Therefore, the present invention provides a method of forming a pipe hole in a wall and preventing a danger such as a fall of an outdoor unit.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an installation device that allows a user to easily install a separation type air conditioner from the indoor side using a window.
