Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a mounting device that allows an indoor unit and an outdoor unit to be easily mounted on a wall in a separate air conditioner that performs heating and cooling using refrigerant, cold water, or hot water. be.

Conventional configurations and their problems Conventionally, separate type air conditioners have only the indoor unit installed indoors and the outdoor unit installed outside, so the indoor noise is generally lower than that of integrated types such as window types. Although it has the advantage of being able to be installed in a room without windows, the problem is that it takes time to install because the unit is separated into two or more units. Particularly in the case of wall-mounted units, installation of the indoor unit is time consuming and has the disadvantage of poor workability.

In addition, when installing the indoor unit main body on a wall, installation bars, installation plates, installation brackets, etc. are generally required, and there are many cases where a gap is created between the indoor unit and the wall, which may impair the aesthetics of the room or create a feeling of pressure. It was hot.

In addition, when installing a wall-mounted unit in a Japanese-style room, it is usually installed between the edge of the ceiling and the lintel, and a through hole is drilled in the wall above the lintel to install piping, wiring, or a drain hose that connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. However, if the distance between the surrounding edge and the lintel is narrow, the through hole cannot be drilled in the designated position, making it difficult to install the unit because the slope necessary for draining water cannot be maintained. Ta.

FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a conventional wall-mounted separate air conditioner indoor unit installed near the ceiling of a Japanese-style room.

In the figure, 1 is the indoor unit body of the air conditioner, 2 is the hook provided on the indoor unit body 1, 3 is the installation plate, 4 is the installation plate mounting screw, 5 is the installation bar, and 6 is the installation bar mounting Screw, 7 is the surrounding edge, 8 is the lintel, 9 is the wall, 10 is the through hole drilled in the wall, 1
1 and 12 are connection pipes that connect the indoor unit and outdoor unit, 13 is connection wiring that also connects both units, 14 is a drain hose, 15 is an adjustment screw, 16 is a protection pipe, 17 is a pipe hole cover,
18 indicates the putty and 19 indicates the ceiling.

An example of installing the indoor unit main body 1 in such a configuration is to first select the installation position of the indoor unit main body 1 using a paper pattern or the like while carefully considering the position of the through hole 10 to be drilled in the wall 9. Then, determine the position of the installation bar 5, and tighten the installation bar mounting screw 6.
The installation frame 5 is fixed to the circumferential edge 7 and the lintel 8.

Next, the installation plate 3 is fixed to the installation frame 5 with the installation plate mounting screws 4. Next, make a through hole 10 and protect the pipe 1.

After hanging the hook 2 of the indoor unit main body 1 on the installation plate 3 and holding it there, adjust the forward and backward inclination with the adjusting screw 15 and check whether the drain water drained from the indoor unit main body 1 is drained smoothly. . Next, cover the pipe hole cover 17 from the outdoor side and seal it with putty 18 to prevent rainwater from entering from the outdoor side.

As shown in the above example, conventional wall-mounted separate air conditioners require many installation parts, which takes time and effort. There are disadvantages such as the lack of space for the indoor unit, which limits the installation position, or the installation work becomes difficult.Also, there is a gap between the indoor unit main body 1 and the back wall, which impairs the aesthetics. The drawback was that it gave the user a feeling of pressure.

Another problem was that the cost was high due to the large number of installation parts.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and to provide a structure that simplifies the installation work of indoor units and outdoor units, shortens the installation time, does not spoil the aesthetics, and can be installed at low cost. This is the purpose.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a pipe-shaped projection protruding from an indoor unit, a thread is cut at the tip of the projection, and the pipe-shaped projection is passed through a through hole in a partition wall. By sandwiching the indoor unit and the outdoor unit hanging tool from the wall and tightening the nuts that fit into the screws, the indoor unit and outdoor unit hanging tool are fixed to the wall surface, and the indoor unit and outdoor unit are attached to the inside of the pipe-shaped protrusion. It is designed to pass connected plumbing pipes, wiring, drain hoses, etc. The outdoor unit is hung on the outdoor unit hanger and fixed with screws if necessary.

This configuration makes the installation structure of the indoor unit and outdoor unit very simple, requires fewer parts for installation, shortens installation time, reduces costs, and eases restrictions on installation location.
