Description

SLEEVE ASSEMBLY FOR CARRYING AIR CONDITIONER PIPES}

The present invention relates to a sleeve connector for embedding an air conditioner pipe, and more particularly, to a sleeve connector for embedding an air conditioner pipe for refrigerant circulation of a separate air conditioner of a separate air conditioner in which an indoor unit is placed in a living room and an outdoor unit is placed outside a building. will be.

In general, a separate air conditioner using a phase change circulation cycle of a refrigerant includes an indoor unit that includes an evaporator and a blower fan, and an indoor unit that is placed indoors, an outdoor unit that is placed outdoors, and an outdoor unit that is placed outdoors. It is provided with a refrigerant passage pipe for circulation connection. The gaseous refrigerant is compressed into a gaseous state of high temperature and high pressure by a compressor in the outdoor unit, and then heat-exchanged by the action of a heat radiating fan and a condenser to liquefy into a high-temperature liquid state. It is introduced into the evaporator of the vaporization and absorbs the surrounding heat. The cold air formed at this time is discharged into the room by a blower fan located adjacent to the evaporator, and the refrigerant vaporized in the evaporator is supplied to the outdoor unit compressor and circulated.

When installing an air conditioner in which the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are separated, the pipes through which the refrigerant flows, that is, the liquid pipe and the gas pipe, are generally installed with a heat insulating material installed around each pipe and a PVC tape wound around them. These refrigerant flow pipes are connected to the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, so that the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are separated from each other and placed on the veranda floor of the apartment or the townhouse, or be installed along the veranda ceiling. The external exposure of the air conditioner refrigerant flow pipe not only hurts the interior aesthetics, but also catches the foot during the passage of the veranda or is hit by the object when it is transported, causing damage to the high-pressure refrigerant to the outside and inconvenient when cleaning the porch.

In order to solve such drawbacks, the applicant has applied for a domestic utility model application for safely concealing and drawing air-conditioning piping inside the floor of a veranda where the height of the balcony is increased. We have received registration decision by proposing a sleeve connector embedding structure for embedding air conditioning pipes.

Briefly, the sleeve connection structure for refilling the air-conditioning pipe buried in advance is as follows.

An opening for connecting the indoor unit is opened at one end to be horizontally opened toward the inside of the living room, and at the other end, an opening for horizontal opening is formed at the other end of the living room toward the outside of the living room (porch side). A hollow sleeve for connecting the indoor unit having a substantially S-shape to be embedded together; A first horizontal sleeve connected to a horizontal pipe at a living room outer opening of the sleeve for connecting the S-shaped indoor unit at a bottom of a veranda; A T-shaped sleeve horizontally connected to the first horizontal sleeve; A second horizontal sleeve piped horizontally to the T-shaped sleeve; One end is formed with an opening for connecting the outdoor unit horizontally open toward the outdoor side, and the other end is formed with an opening opening toward the indoor side (porch side), and the hollow for connecting the outdoor unit, which is embedded together in the handrail wall when the handrail wall concrete is placed A sleeve; And it is provided with a curved connecting sleeve for connecting the second horizontal sleeve and the hollow sleeve for connecting the outdoor unit.

The sleeve connector for embedding the air conditioner piping is configured to include the air conditioner piping for refrigerant circulation connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit therein while all the remaining sleeves, except for the indoor unit connecting sleeve and the outdoor unit connecting sleeve, are buried by mortar on the floor of the veranda. The electric wire is drawn in, and the condensate discharge pipe for discharging the condensate generated in the evaporator of the indoor unit is led to the outside in a concealed manner through the branch pipe of the T-sleeve.

According to the above-described application, the air conditioner piping for refrigerant circulation connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is introduced into the sleeve connecting body embedded in the veranda floor so that it is not exposed, thereby improving the aesthetics of the interior, and the foot is caught during the passage of the veranda. When the product is transported or damaged, it is possible to eliminate the fear of high-pressure refrigerant leaking out by being hit by the object and breaking, and does not cause interference when the porch is cleaned.

However, the previous application has many effects but has the following disadvantages.

The indoor connecting sleeve has a curved structure by changing the direction twice from a short length to a sharp angle. When the air conditioning pipe is inserted from the outdoor unit and pulled out to the indoor unit, the air conditioning pipe is abruptly abruptly at a short distance along the angle of the sleeve for connecting the indoor unit. Since the sleeve is connected at an angle and drawn out, even though the sleeve for connecting the indoor unit is soft, the air conditioner pipe is easily damaged because it is scratched by severe contact with the air conditioner pipe.

In addition, since the air conditioner pipes collide with each other when the angle of the sleeve for connecting the indoor unit changes, it is difficult for the beginner to draw out the air conditioner pipes.

In addition, the condensate discharge pipe discharged from the indoor unit is inserted into the sleeve connecting body, and the opening of the end thereof is drawn out to the external drain through the branch pipe of the T-type sleeve. Although the branch pipe is perpendicular to the sleeve, the condensate discharge pipe is drawn out to the branch pipe without drawing a curve at right angles, so that the condensate discharge pipe and the air conditioner pipe overlap and the condensate discharge pipe and air conditioner pipe are damaged by the contact. This is a difficult drawback.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, to provide a sleeve connector for embedding the air conditioner pipe so that the air conditioning pipe is not bent at a sharp angle when passing through the sleeve for connecting the indoor unit of the sleeve connector embedded in the floor. Its purpose is.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to be able to easily take out the air conditioning pipe.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to simplify the installation of the condensate discharge pipe discharged from the indoor unit.
