Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台に関し、特に、エアコン室外機の据付作業において組立てが容易に行なわれるエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
エアコン室外機の据付具の一例として、天井からエアコン室外機を吊下げる天井吊下げ用架台がある。そのような従来の天井吊下げ用架台について説明する。図１６に示すように、従来の天井吊下げ用架台１０１は、天井に沿って取付けられる１対の天固定板１０３と、１対の天固定板１０３のそれぞれの両端部に連結されて下方に延びる４本の吊金具１０５と、１対の天固定板１０３の一方側に位置する端部にそれぞれ連結された２本の吊金具１０５の下端部間および他方の端部にそれぞれ連結された２本の吊金具１０５の下端部間をそれぞれ架設する２本のベース１０７とを備えている。
【０００３】
エアコン室外機（図示せず）は、この２本のベース１０７を跨ぐようにベース１０７上に載置される。また、ベース１０７には、エアコン室外機の振動を吸収するための防振部材１０９が所定の位置に装着される。各吊金具１０５とベース１０７とはボルト１１８を介して回動可能に連結されている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の天井吊下げ用架台では次のような問題点があった。図１７に示すように、天固定板１０３には、斜め上に向かって延びる所定の側部１０３ａが設けられている。一方、吊金具１０５の上端には、吊金具１０５の自重によってその側部１０３ａを受入れて吊金具１０５を留めるための切れ込み部１０５ａが設けられている。
【０００５】
吊金具１０５の自重によって天固定板１０３の側部１０３ａが吊金具１０５の切れ込み部１０５ａに進入することによって、各吊金具１０５が天固定板１０３に仮留めされることになる。
【０００６】
この吊金具１０５が仮留めされた状態から、ボルトにより吊金具１０５が天固定板１０３に固定するまでの間に、たとえば作業者等が吊金具１０５に接触した場合には、吊金具１０５が天固定板１０３から容易に外れてしまい吊金具１０５が落下することがあった。その結果、天井吊下げ用架台を組立てる際の作業の効率が悪くなるという問題があった。
【０００７】
本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は、エアコン室外機を据付ける際の組立て作業を効率的に行なうことのできるエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台を提供することである。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１に記載のエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台は、天井に沿って互いに間隔を隔てて固定される１対の天固定部材と、１対の天固定部材の一方の天固定部材と他方の天固定部材との間を架設し、エアコン室外機が載置される架設部とを有する、エアコン室外機を天井に吊下げるためのエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台である。架設部は、吊具とベースとを有している。吊具は、１対の天固定部材のそれぞれに連結される。ベースは、１対の天固定部材のうち一方の天固定部材に連結された吊具と他方の天固定部材に連結された吊具との間を架設する。吊具は、外壁部および内壁部と係合凸部とを備えている。外壁部および内壁部は、天固定部材を挟み込んで受入れる。係合凸部は外壁部および内壁部の一方に設けられ、天固定部材に向かって突出している。天固定部材は係合受部が設けられる領域と係合受部が設けられていない領域とを備えている。係合受部が設けられる領域では係合凸部を受けて吊具が保持される。係合受部が設けられない領域では吊具の装着が行なわれる。その係合受部が設けられていない領域は天固定部材の略中央部に配置され、係合受部が設けられた領域は天固定部材の両端部に配置されている。
【０００９】
請求項１に記載されたエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台によれば、まず、天固定部材の係合受部が設けられていない領域において吊具の装着が行なわれて、吊具の外壁部と内壁部とで天固定部材が挟み込まれた状態となる。さらに、その状態で吊具を天固定部材の一方の端部または他方の端部の係合受部が設けられた領域に向かってスライドさせることによって、外壁部および内壁部の一方に設けられた係合凸部が係合受部によって受けられて、吊具が天固定部材に容易に保持されることになる。これにより、吊具はスライド方向以外の方向の動きが実質的に規制されることになって、組立て作業中に作業者等が接触しても吊具が天固定部材から外れて落下することがなくなる。その結果、エアコン室外機を据付ける際の組立て作業を効率的に行なうことができる。
【００１０】
請求項２に記載のエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台では、天固定部材は、斜め下方に向かって延びる第１側部と、その第１側部の下端から略鉛直方向に下方に向かって延びる第２側部とを有している。吊具の第１壁部は、係合受部が設けられた領域において、第１側部に対向して接する第１の部分および第２側部に対向して接する第２の部分を含んでいる。
【００１１】
請求項２に記載されたエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台によれば、係合受部が設けられた領域において、吊具の第１壁部と第２壁部とで天固定部材の一部が挟み込まれた状態となる。これにより、従来のエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台と比べて、組立て作業を行なっている際に、吊具の仮留めの状態であっても作業者等が吊具に接触して吊具が天固定部材から容易に抜けて落下するのを防止できる。
【００１２】
請求項３に記載のエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台では、係合受部が設けられていない領域では、吊具の自重によって吊具の第１の部分が第１側部に当接するとともに、吊具の内壁部に設けられた係合凸部が第２側部に当接する。
【００１３】
請求項３に記載されたエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台によれば、自重によって吊具の第１の部分が第１側部に当接するとともに、吊具の第２壁部に設けられた係合凸部が第２側部に当接することで、係合受部が設けられていない領域でも吊具が天固定部材に容易に仮留めされることになる。
【００１４】
請求項４に係るエアコン室外機の天井吊り下げ用架台では、吊具が天固定部材の係合受部に保持された状態で、吊具を天固定部材に固定するための固定部材を備えている。１対の天固定部材のそれぞれに設けられた第１側部は天井から斜め下方に向かって延びている。固定部材は、１対の天固定部材のそれぞれに設けられた第１側部に対して１対の天固定部材間の領域に望む第１側部の内側から装着されている。
【００１５】
請求項４に記載されたエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台によれば、固定部材は、１対の天固定部材のそれぞれに設けられた第１側部に対して１対の天固定部材間の領域に望む第１側部の内側から装着されている。これにより、エアコン室外機の据付け作業の組立てにおいて、最終的に吊具を固定部材によって天固定部材に固定する際に、一方の天固定部材と他方の天固定部材との間の領域から、たとえばボルトなどの両固定部材を容易に装着することができる。
【００１８】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台について説明する。図１に示すように、天井吊下げ用架台１は、天井に沿って取付けられる１対の天固定板３と、１対の天固定板３のそれぞれの両端部に連結されて下方に延びる４本の吊金具５と、１対の天固定板３の一方側に位置する端部にそれぞれ連結された２本の吊金具５の下端部間および他方の端部にそれぞれ連結された２本の吊金具５の下端部間をそれぞれ架設する２本のベース７とを備えている。
【００１９】
エアコン室外機は、この２本のベース７を跨ぐようにベース７上に載置されることになる。（図１４参照）そのベース７には、エアコン室外機の振動を吸収するための防振部材９が所定の位置に装着される。
【００２０】
特に、天固定板３には、天井から斜め下方に向かって延びる斜め側部３ｂと、その斜め側部３ｂの下端から略鉛直方向下方に向かって延びる垂直側部３ｃが設けられている。（図５、図７参照）
また、天固定板３の両端部には、図１に示すように、所定の係合受部３ａが形成されて吊金具５を保持する領域Ａがそれぞれ設けられている。また、天固定板３の中央部には、係合受部３ａが形成されていない領域Ｂが吊金具５の装着を行なうための領域として設けられている。
【００２１】
図２に示すように、吊金具５の上端部には、天固定板３の斜め側部３ｂおよび垂直側部３ｃを挟み込んで受入れる外壁部５ｃと内壁部５ｄとが設けられている。外壁部５ｃには、吊金具５が天固定板に固定された状態で斜め側部３ｂに対向して接する第１壁部５５と垂直側部３ｃに対向して接する第２壁部５６とが設けられている。また、内壁部５ｄには、天固定板３に設けられた係合受部３ａによって受けられる係合凸部５ａが設けられている。
【００２２】
吊金具５の下端部には、ベース７の一端側を下方から支持する受部５ｂが設けられている。図３に示すように、その吊金具５の受部５ｂによって下方から支持されるベース７の一端側の端部７ｂには、受部５ｂの先端部分が挿入される角穴７ａが設けられている。ベース７の他端側（図示せず）にも同様の端部が形成されている。
【００２３】
次に、上述したエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台の組立てを含めたエアコン室外機の据付け作業について説明する。
【００２４】
図４〜図６に示すように、まず、天井に沿って固定される天固定板３の斜め側部３ｂと吊金具５の外壁部５ｃ（第１壁部５５）との間に所定の角度をなすように、１対の天固定板３の間の位置から矢印Ｙ１に示す方向に向かって斜め上方に吊金具５を装着して、外壁部５ｃと内壁部５ｄとで天固定板３の斜め側部３ｂおよび垂直側部３ｃを挟み込む。
【００２５】
次に、図４、図７および図８に示すように、吊金具５を矢印Ｙ２に示す方向に回動する。吊金具５の自重によって、吊金具５の第１壁部５５が斜め側部３ｂに当接するとともに、内壁部５ｄの係合凸部５ａが垂直側部３ｃに当接する。これにより、吊金具５においては、吊金具５を矢印Ｙ２と反対方向に回動する動きを除いて、図面に向かって実質的な上下左右の動きが規制されることになる。
【００２６】
次に、図４、図９および図１０に示すように、吊金具５を矢印Ｙ３に示すように、天固定板３の端部に向かってスライドさせて、係合受部３ａが形成されている領域Ａに配置させる。これにより、吊金具５の内壁部５ｄに設けられた係合凸部５ａが天固定板３に設けられた係合受部３ａによって受けられて、吊金具５が天固定板３に保持される。このとき、吊金具５の第１壁部５５を天固定板３の斜め側部３ｂに接触させながら吊金具５をスライドさせることで、斜め側部３ｂがガイドとなって係合凸部５ａが容易に係合受部３ａに受けられる。その結果、吊金具５はスライド方向以外の方向の動きが実質的に規制されることになる。
【００２７】
次に、図１１に示すように、吊金具５の下端部に設けられた受部５ｂ上に、矢印Ｙ４に示すようにベース７の一端側に設けられた端部７ｂを載せる。このとき、受部５ｂの先端部分を端部７ｂに設けられた角穴７ａに挿通することで、ベース７が抜け落ちるのを防止することができる。そして、ボルト２１およびナット２３を装着することで、吊金具５とベース７とが回動可能に連結される。
【００２８】
このようにして、エアコン室外機の大きさに合わせて吊金具５の上端部をそれぞれ天固定板３の所定の位置に取付け、ボルト１９により固定する。（図１０を参照）このとき、ボルト１９を天固定板３の斜め側部３ｂの内側から挿通するようにすることで、１対の天固定板３の間の領域からそれぞれの斜め側部３ｂに対してボルト１９を容易に挿通して吊金具５を固定することができる。
【００２９】
そして、各吊金具５の下端部にベース３を順次連結して、図１２に示すように、吊金具５とベース７とが連結される４つの連結箇所のうち、最後の一つの連結箇所を残した状態とする。
【００３０】
この状態で、図１３に示すように、エアコン室外機２の一方の端を奥に位置するベース７上に載置する。エアコン室外機の他方の端を一方の手１１ａで支えながら、他方の手１１ｂで手前に位置するベース７を掴んで、その端部７ｂを吊金具５の受部５ｂ上に載せる。その連結箇所にボルトを挿通してベース７と吊金具５とを連結する。
【００３１】
このようにして、図１４に示すように、天井吊下げ用架台の組立てを含むエアコン室外機２の据付け作業が完了する。
【００３２】
本天井吊下げ用架台では、上述したように、天固定板３には、所定の斜め側部３ｂおよび垂直側部３ｃが設けられている。また、天固定板３には、所定の係合受部３ａが形成されて吊金具５を保持する領域Ａが設けられているとともに、係合受部３ａが形成されていない領域Ｂが吊金具５の装着を行なうための領域として設けられている。
【００３３】
一方、吊金具５の上端部には、斜め側部３ｂおよび垂直側部３ｃを挟み込んで受入れる外壁部５ｃと内壁部５ｄとが設けられている。特に、外壁部５ｃには、吊金具５が天固定板に固定された状態で斜め側部３ｂに対向して接する第１壁部５５と垂直側部３ｃに対向して接する第２壁部５６とが設けられている。また、内壁部５ｄには、天固定板３に設けられた係合受部３ａによって受けられる係合凸部５ａが設けられている。
【００３４】
これにより、領域Ｂにおいて吊金具５を装着した際に、吊金具５の自重によって、吊金具５の第１壁部５５が斜め側部３ｂに当接するとともに、内壁部５ｄの係合凸部５ａが垂直側部３ｃに当接することで、吊金具５においては実質的な上下左右の動きが規制されることになる。その結果、仮留めの状態でも吊金具５が容易に落下するのを防止することができる。
【００３５】
そして、領域Ａにおいては、吊金具５に設けられた係合凸部５ａが天固定板３に設けられた係合受部３ａによって受けられて、吊金具５が天固定板３に保持されることで、吊金具５はスライド方向以外の方向の動きが実質的に規制されることになる。その結果、ボルト１９により吊金具５が天固定板３に固定されるまでの間に吊金具５が落下するのを確実に防止することができる。
【００３６】
また、吊金具５を天固定板３にボルト１９により固定する際に、ボルト１９を天固定板３の斜め側部３ｂの内側から挿通するようにすることで、１対の天固定板３の間の領域からそれぞれの斜め側部３ｂに対してボルト１９を容易に挿通することができて、組立て作業の効率化を図ることができる。
【００３７】
なお、上述した天井吊下げ用架台１においては、図１に示すように、１対の天固定板のピッチＬが変化することに伴って、図１５に示すように、吊金具５における角度θが変化する。そこで、この変化する角度θに対応して吊金具５とベース７との連結箇所を補強するための所定の補強部材１３を設けてもよい。
【００３８】
また、本天井吊下げ用架台では金属からなる吊金具を適用した場合について説明したが、エアコン室外機を吊下げておくことができ、耐久性のあるものであれば金属に限られない。
【００３９】
今回開示された実施の形態はすべての点で例示であって、制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明は上記の説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
請求項１に記載されたエアコン室外機の天井吊下げ用架台によれば、まず、天固定部材の係合受部が設けられていない領域において吊具の装着が行なわれて、吊具の外壁部と内壁部とで天固定部材が挟み込まれた状態となる。さらに、その状態で吊具を天固定部材の一方の端部または他方の端部の係合受部が設けられた領域に向かってスライドさせることによって、外壁部および内壁部の一方に設けられた係合凸部が係合受部によって受けられて、吊具が天固定部材に容易に保持されることになる。これにより、吊具はスライド方向以外の方向の動きが実質的に規制されることになって、組立て作業中に作業者等が接触しても吊具が天固定部材から外れて落下することがなくなる。その結果、エアコン室外機を据付ける際の組立て作業を効率的に行なうことができる。
