FIGS. 1 to 13 . - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 13 , the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for mounting an air outlet structure of an air conditioner, which comprises the following steps: - Step S10: determining whether the supporting strength of a
mounting base 10 satisfies the ceiling requirements of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. - The
mounting base 10 is specifically a ceiling. Whether themounting base 10 meets the ceiling requirements depends on the material, thickness, shape, structure and the like of themounting base 10. In actual use, after theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is mounted onto themounting base 10, the entire structure has to be stable and satisfy normal use. - Step S20: mounting a lateral surface of the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on themounting base 10, wherein themounting base 10 mainly supports theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner; and mounting theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on anindoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, wherein theindoor unit 1 auxiliarily supports theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, if the requirements are satisfied. Wherein, the operation of mounting the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on themounting base 10 and the operation of mounting theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on theindoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is, for example, performed sequentially or simultaneously. More operators are required in simultaneous operation, while less operators are required in sequential operation. - In the above-described step S20, the support strength of the mounting
base 10 satisfies the requirements. Theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is mounted in two manners: directly mounted laterally of the mountingbase 10 and directly mounted on theindoor unit 1 of the air conditioner. These two manners are used independently, or combined with other mounting manners to jointly support the weight of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. - The mounting manner of the lateral surface of the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner means that the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is directly mounted on the mountingbase 10 without nesting. Specifically, the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is directly fixed to the mountingbase 10 with screws and plates. The mounting manner described in the embodiments of the air outlet mounting structure of the air conditioner provided below are also used here. - Step S30: mounting the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on theindoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, wherein theindoor unit 1 mainly supports theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on theindoor unit 1; and mounting a lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on the mountingbase 10, wherein the mountingbase 10 auxiliarily supports theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner if the requirements are not satisfied. - In the method for mounting the air outlet structure of the air conditioner provided by the above-described technical solution, the mounting manner of the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is determined based on whether the supporting capacity of the mountingbase 10 itself satisfies the requirements; if the supporting capacity of the mountingbase 10 satisfies the requirements, theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is mainly supported by lateral installation (i.e. mounting the lateral surface), so that the weight of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is dispersed with a number of locations for the mounting site. Moreover, even when theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is long enough, there will be no problems such as deformation. If the supporting capacity of the mountingbase 10 does not satisfy the ceiling requirements of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is mainly supported by theindoor unit 1. The above-described two mounting manners which both eliminate nesting, and thus eliminate complicated steps required in the nested mounting process, simplify the mounting process of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner and improve the mounting efficiency. - The
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is supported by the mountingbase 10 and theindoor unit 1 at the same time. The above-described mounting manner reduces the number of mounting sites during lateral installation. - The step S20 introduced above specifically comprises the following steps:
- First: mounting a fixing
member 3 on the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. Referring toFIGS. 3 and 11 , the fixingmember 3 comprises afirst opening 31 and asecond opening 32, and at least one of thefirst opening 31 and thesecond opening 32 is anoblong hole 30. The fixingmember 3 is fixed to the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner through thefirst opening 31. If thefirst opening 31 and thesecond opening 32 are bothoblong holes 30, the length direction of thefirst opening 31 is along the first direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, and the length direction of thesecond opening 32 is along the second direction of theair outlet 2 of the air conditioner. One of the first direction and the second direction is a longitudinal direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, and the other is a transverse direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. Thefirst opening 31 and thesecond opening 32 are bothoblong holes 30, for adjusting the mounting positions of the fixingmember 3 with respect to the mountingbase 10 and theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. - Second: fixing the lateral surface of the
outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner with the mountingbase 10 by passing thefastener 35 through thesecond opening 32. Referring toFIG. 5 , thefastener 35 is, for example, a bolt or the like. - The above-described step S30 specifically comprise the following steps:
- First: mounting the hanging
assembly 4 on theindoor unit 1 of the air conditioner. There are multiple structures of the hangingassembly 4, such as a plate-like or frame-like structure, and specific structural forms will be given later. - Second: fixing the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner to the hangingassembly 4. Referring toFIG. 2 , for example, theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is fixed to the hangingassembly 4 by passing a connectingpiece 5 from the bottom to the top of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. Referring toFIG. 2 , the connectingpiece 5 is a long screw. - The specific embodiments of the above-described method for mounting an air outlet structure of an air conditioner will be introduced below.
- First, the lateral installation manner will be introduced. The
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner introduced is fixed to the mountingbase 10 through laterally mounted screws. The air outlet structure of the air conditioner is mounted to the mountingbase 10 from bottom to top, and the stopper (designed to be thin, and have sufficient strength) 7 abuts against the lower end surface of the mounting base 10 (seeFIG. 4 ), so that the air outlet structure of the air conditioner is flush with the bottom surface of the mountingbase 10. At this time, the fastener (specifically, a laterally mounted screw) 35 is fixed to the mountingbase 10 through the second opening 32 (FIG. 11 ) in the fixingmember 3. In some embodiments, the fixingmember 3 is also provided with afirst opening 31 in a long-waist shape, for the purpose of adjusting the position of the fixingmember 3 according to the actual size of the opening of the mountingbase 10, so that the laterally mounted screws does not cause deformation of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner when the laterally mounted screws are fastened, thereby ensuring that the shape is not affected. - Next, the ceiling manner will be introduced. The
indoor unit 1 is mounted with a hanging assembly 4 (the hangingassembly 4 is provided with a screw hole) in advance, on which anut 42 for ceiling has been welded in advance. Theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is provided with aguide structure 6 which is fixed in many ways, such as snap-fit, screw fixing, and glue adhering. Of course, it is also possible to directly design features that produce a similar guiding effect on theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. The air outlet structure of the air conditioner is fixed with astopper 7. Theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is fixed with a fixingplate 9 with an adjustable mounting position. The fixingplate 9 is provided with anotch 91 through which the fixingplate 9 is clamped onto the connectingpiece 5. SeeFIGS. 3, 9 and 10 . - The specific mounting steps are as follows:
- (1) first removing the fixing screws on fixing plate 9 (see
FIG. 8 ) with an adjustable position, and placing the fixingplate 9 with an adjustable position into the pocket of an installer for spare use, prior to mounting. - (2) fixing the two
ceiling assemblies 4 by screws on both sides of theindoor unit 1 along a length direction of theindoor unit 1, seeFIG. 2 . - (3) fixing the connector 5 (specifically a long screw) to the hanging
assembly 4 by screwing several threads in advance, when the ceiling screw head is exposed on the bottom surface of the mountingbase 10, and theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner enables the ceiling screw head to smoothly pass through the inside surface of theguide structure 6 by aguide bevel 61 of theguide structure 6, seeFIGS. 6 to 8 . - (4) abutting the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner upwards by hand so that thestopper 7 is attached to the lower end surface of the mountingbase 10, after the head of the connectingpiece 5 passes through theguide structure 6. - (5) At this time, the installer takes the fixing
plate 9 out of the pocket with an adjustable position removed in step 1 (seeFIGS. 8, 9 and 10 ). The fixingplate 9 is designed with anotch 91 for clamping a screw, into which the connectingpiece 5 is clamped (see the arrow inFIG. 8 for the clamping direction of the fixing plate 9). The fixingplate 9 is designed with a through-hole in a long-waist shape with an adjustable position to ensure that the head of the connectingpiece 5 does not pass through the through-hole, and the rod of the connectingpiece 5 slides inside the through-hole in a long-waist shape, so as to ensure deviation of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner in a length direction. In addition, for example, a hole in a long-waist shape for adjustment is also provided in a width direction of the fixingplate 9 to ensure that theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is also slightly adjusted in width. For the length and width directions, see the arrows shown inFIG. 10 . - (6) finally tightening the connecting
piece 5 so that theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is attached to the mountingbase 10. - Since the opening of the mounting
base 10 is not necessarily adequately aligned with the air outlet of the air conditioner in theindoor unit 1 during the actual application of construction and installation, the above structure ensures that the ceiling fixation is adapted to most of the construction requirements by delicate designs. - The above is a detailed description of the ceiling mounting manner. During actual application, this ceiling method is suitable for the circumstance that the
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner itself is very thick. If theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is thin, for example the following mounting manner is specifically used: - (1) The hanging
assembly 4 is fixed on theindoor unit 1. - (2) The air outlet structure of the
air conditioner 2 is mounted against the bottom surface of the mountingbase 10. That is, thestopper 7 is attached to the bottom surface of the mountingbase 10. - (3) The connecting piece (specifically including a long screw) 5 is directly aligned with the nut of the hanging
assembly 4, and then tightened so that theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is effectively attached to the mountingbase 10, and fixed on theindoor unit 1. - It should be noted that, in the above-described ceiling fixing manner, the connecting
piece 5 is provided only in a length direction. If theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is long, theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is deformed, which results in deformation of the middle area to expose a gap. Thus, theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is also auxiliarily fixed in the middle position in a laterally mounted screw manner. - In the method for mounting an air outlet structure of an air conditioner provided by the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, only one mounting manner is used or two mounting manners are used at the same time according to actual demands. The above-described mounting method has a favorable versatility in installation; the installation is still satisfied even when there is a certain deviation in the opening of the mounting
base 10 so that there is no need to rework or re-open the mountingbase 10. The ceiling is reliable and theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is adequately attached to the mountingbase 10; and the installation is simple, and after the opening of the mountingbase 10 is accomplished, the installation is performed immediately so that the installation is efficient. - Referring to
FIG. 2 toFIG. 11 , in some embodiments of the present disclosure, an air outlet mounting structure of an air conditioner is provided. The air outlet mounting structure is used to implement the method for mounting an air outlet structure of the air conditioner provided by the above-described embodiments. The air outlet mounting structure of the air conditioner comprises anindoor unit 1 and anair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. Theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is jointly supported by theindoor unit 1 and the mountingbase 10. - The mounting
base 10 specifically comprise a ceiling. Theindoor unit 1 is ceiled on the roof (or referred to as ceiling). According to different actual conditions, theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is supported in one of the following manners: mainly supported by the mountingbase 10 and auxiliarily supported by theindoor unit 1; mainly supported by theindoor unit 1 and auxiliarily supported by the mountingbase 10. - The
air outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is supported by theindoor unit 1, which avoids problems such as complicated process and required more labor resulting from having to mount theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner on the nest fixed to the mountingbase 10 in the related art. - In some embodiments, a fixing
member 3 for connecting with the mountingbase 10 is mounted on the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, and the position where the fixingmember 3 is connected with the mountingbase 10 is adjustable. - The fixing
member 3 is alternatively mounted to the mountingbase 10 by providing a plurality of mounting structures according to actual demands. Alternatively, the fixingmember 3 is provided with a hole with an adjustable mounting position, such as anoblong hole 30, so as to realize an alternative mounting position. - Referring to
FIG. 11 , in some embodiments, the fixingmember 3 comprises afirst opening 31 and asecond opening 32. At least one of thefirst opening 31 and thesecond opening 32 is anoblong hole 30. Here, take anoblong hole 30 as an example. The fixingmember 3 is fixed to the lateral surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner through thefirst opening 31; the length direction of thefirst opening 31 is along the first direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner; the length direction of thesecond opening 32 is along the second direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, wherein one of the first direction and the second direction is a longitudinal direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, and the other is a transverse direction of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner. - By providing the
first opening 31 and thesecond opening 32 in different length directions, the mounting position is adjusted in the transverse and longitudinal directions of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner, so that the installation is more convenient. - Referring to
FIG. 11 , the fixingmember 3 comprises afirst plate 33 and asecond plate 34 which are fixed to each other. Thefirst plate 33 is fixed to theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner and thesecond plate 34 is fixed to the mountingbase 10. In some embodiments, by way of the above-described structure, the fixingmember 3 enables the mountingbase 10 to provide an obliquely upward action force on thesecond plate 34 by using thefastener 35 that normally passes through thesecond opening 32. The vertical component comprised in the action force cooperates with thestopper 7 so that the ground of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is flush with the bottom surface of the mountingbase 10. The normally mountedfastener 35 referred thereto means that, with thefastener 35 using a screw as an example, the length direction of thefastener 35 is perpendicular to thesecond plate 34. - Referring to
FIG. 12 , the comprised angle a between thefirst plate 33 and thesecond plate 34 is 95 degrees to 140 degrees, for example 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 105 degrees, 110 degrees, 120 degrees, 130 degrees, 140 degrees, or the like. The comprised angle a makes it possible that, when thefastener 35 is mounted, the fixing force F of thefastener 35 is obliquely upward, with an upward component force F1, and at the same time, the bottom surface of theair outlet structure 2 of the air conditioner is flush with the bottom surface of the mountingbase 10 in the case where thestopper 7 limits a position. - Referring to
FIG. 12 , the total height B of the fixingmember 3 is 7 mm to 12 mm. The above-described height satisfies the general thickness of the mounting base, and ensure that it is not too high or exposed to below the mountingbase 10. - Referring to
FIG. 13 , the length C of thesecond opening 32 is 8 mm to 20 mm. The above-described length ensure that thefastener 35 is mounted nearby when it is not mounted in the original fixing site where it is damaged after the air outlet of the air conditioner is removed. - Referring to
