Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, current installation methods are far from satisfactory
Welded bracket assembly is bulky and not easy to transport in a vehicle
On site, it was also often difficult to transport the structure up and down the narrow stairwells
A third problem is that due to the many different sizes of compressor housings, the technician in charge of the installation may not know in advance the size of the specific compressor unit that needs to be installed and may bring unsuitable brackets to the site
Another difficulty is that such brackets are not stable laterally, which means that any lateral force such as strong wind will likely cause the bracket to detach from the vertical wall

Embodiment Construction

[0040] A partially assembled support assembly 10 for a compressor 12 of a split air conditioner can be seen in FIG. 1 .

[0041] A rigid, adjustable frame 14 may be connected to four structural members for supporting the frame from the rigid surface. In this embodiment, the rigid surface supporting the compressor 12 is horizontal, such as a flat roof or a paved ground level. Thus, the structural member seen is the leg member 18 , which is attached to the platform frame 14 . Attachment is made along axes 20a and 20b. The figures show two leg members 18 for attachment by special fasteners, the remaining two leg members 18 being assembled by another fastener which is also used in the assembly of the frame 14 .

[0042] The support assembly 10 is adjustable in two horizontal directions so as to be suitable for all sizes of compressors in its range. As shown more clearly in Figure 3, the frame components are provided with additional holes 36 so that the mutual connection can be ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the installation of air conditioners. More particularly, the invention provides a platform for the external support of an air conditioner unit of a split air conditioner. The invention provides a support assembly (10) for the compressor (12) of a split air conditioner comprising a rigid adjustable-size frame (14) connectable to at least two structural components for supporting the frame from a rigid surface. The support assembly being storable and transportable in a compact manner as individual elements and being arranged for easy assembly at the point of use.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the installation of air conditioners. [0002] More specifically, the present invention provides a platform for externally supporting an air conditioning unit of a split air conditioner. Background technique [0003] Split system air conditioners have been very widely used over the past few decades. An important advantage of split units compared to combined units, which are still used in very small installations, is that the noisier compressors can be placed outside the building. No large building holes are required to connect the external compressor to the internal evaporator. The external unit requires only brackets for secure attachment to an exterior wall, roof or floor surface, and has electrical and hydraulic connections to the evaporator. A solid connection is critical as these units may also operate in tall buildings where a bracket break could spell disaster. [0004] Compressor brackets have been used for ...
