Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0013] FIG. 1 is a plan perspective view seen from above showing an example of a hanging frame device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an air-conditioning device will be described as an example of the target device.
[0014] In Figure 1, 1 is the suspension frame body, which comprises four frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5 arranged in a quadrangular shape. 7 is an air conditioning unit, an example of equipment to be suspended. Figure 4 is a front view from the frame member 5 side, Figure 5 is a side view from the frame member 2 side, and Figure 6 is a bottom perspective view looking up from below.
[0015] Each of the four frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5 has a slit portion 2S, 3S, 4S, and 5S formed in the direction of that frame member, respectively.
[0016] These slit portions 42S, 3S, 4S, and 5S are formed as follows: Frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5 are each formed by connecting a pair of L-shaped plates 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, and 5a, 5b with bolts 6 at predetermined intervals, facing each other, to form a combined member. The slit portions 2S, 3S, 4S, and 5S are formed at these predetermined intervals.
[0017] Furthermore, the L-shaped plate 2a has its horizontal side 2a1 positioned on the upper side, and its remaining vertical side 2a2 positioned on the lower side. Similarly, the remaining pair of L-shaped plates 2b also has its horizontal side 2b1 positioned on the upper side, and its remaining vertical side 2b2 positioned on the lower side.
[0018] Similarly, in the other L-shaped plate 3a, the horizontal side 3a1 is located on the upper side, and the remaining vertical side 3a2 is located on the lower side. In the remaining pair of L-shaped plates 3b, the horizontal side 3b1 is located on the upper side, and the remaining vertical side 3b2 is located on the lower side.
[0019] Similarly, in the L-shaped plate 4a, the horizontal side 4a1 is located on the upper side, and the remaining vertical side 4a2 is located on the lower side. In the remaining pair of L-shaped plates 4b, the horizontal side 4b1 is located on the upper side, and the remaining vertical side 4b2 is located on the lower side.
[0020] Similarly, in the L-shaped plate 5a, the horizontal side 5a1 is located on the upper side, and the remaining vertical side 5a2 is positioned on the lower side. In the remaining pair of L-shaped plates 5b, the horizontal side 5b1 is located on the upper side, and the remaining vertical side 5b2 is positioned on the lower side.
[0021] Furthermore, the frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the four sides are connected by butting them together so that adjacent frame members have one horizontal surface of each L-shaped plate on the same plane.
[0022] The connection is achieved by connecting the ends of each horizontal side of the frame members on two adjacent sides with triangular gussets G. In the illustrated embodiment, the upper surface of the inner horizontal side 2b1 and the upper surface of the horizontal side 4b1 are connected by gusset G1, the upper surface of the inner horizontal side 2b1 and the upper surface of the horizontal side 5b1 are connected by gusset G2, the upper surface of the inner horizontal side 5b1 and the upper surface of the horizontal side 3b1 are connected by gusset G3, and the upper surface of the inner horizontal side 3b1 and the upper surface of the horizontal side 4b1 are connected by gusset G4. Furthermore, four gussets are similarly connected to the lower surface of each horizontal side at the back positions opposite to each of the gussets G1, G2, G3, and G4.
[0023] Two first rod-shaped members 9 are inserted into the slit portion 4S of the frame member 4 on one side, protruding upward, and are secured by nuts or the like to prevent them from coming loose. Similarly, two first rod-shaped members 9 are also inserted into the slit portion 4S of the frame member 5 on the opposite side of the frame member 4, protruding upward, and are secured by nuts or the like to prevent them from coming loose.
[0024] The upper ends of these four first rod-shaped members 9 are fixed to the ceiling 10. 10a is the uneven surface of the QL deck.
[0025] On the other hand, two second rod-shaped members 8 are inserted into the slit portion 2S of the remaining frame member 2, protruding downwards, and are secured by nuts or the like to prevent them from coming loose. Similarly, two second rod-shaped members 8 are also inserted into the slit portion 3S of the frame member 3 on the opposite side of frame member 2, protruding downwards, and are secured by nuts or the like to prevent them from coming loose.
[0026] The lower ends of these four second rod-shaped members 8 are connected and secured to the four corners of the air conditioning unit 7.
[0027] As shown in Figure 3, the pair of L-shaped plates 2a and 2b may be arranged with the horizontal side 2a1 on the bottom and the vertical side 2a2 on the top.
[0028] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, if the length of the second rod-shaped member 8 is long, it may become unstable, so a cross frame 11 may be installed between the second rod-shaped members 8 to stabilize it.
[0029] Given this structure, when attempting to suspend an air conditioning unit 7 of a predetermined size from a ceiling 10 where the uneven surface 10a of the QL deck exists, first, the second rod-shaped member 8 is adjusted to match the length between the four suspension points of the air conditioning unit 7.
[0030] Specifically, the two second rod-shaped members 8, 8, which are locked in the slit portion 2S of the frame member 2, are slid to match the distance between the two suspension points at the corners of the air conditioning unit 7. Next, the two second rod-shaped members 8, 8, which are locked in the slit portion 3S of the frame member 3, which is located opposite the frame member 2, are also slid to match the distance between the remaining two suspension points at the corners of the air conditioning unit 7.
[0031] This allows for flexible adjustments to the size of the air conditioning unit 7, enabling it to be suspended from all four corners.
[0032] On the other hand, the two first rod-shaped members 9, 9 that are locked to the slit portion 4S of the frame member 4 are adjusted by sliding the slit portion 4S to match the unevenness 10a of the QL deck of the ceiling 10, so that they are suspended from the ceiling 10.
[0033] Similarly, the two first rod-shaped members 9, 9 that are locked to the slit portion 5S of the frame member 5 are also adjusted by sliding the slit portion 5S to match the unevenness 10a of the QL deck on the ceiling 10, so that they are suspended from the ceiling 10.
[0034] In that case, the irregularities 10a of the QL deck on the ceiling 10 are grooves formed perpendicular to the frame members 4 and 5. Therefore, the mounting position can be appropriately selected. If the irregularities 10a are parallel, the air conditioning unit 7 and the entire frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5 can be rotated 90 degrees and suspended.
[0035] The frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5 mentioned above are preferably made of lightweight aluminum, but other types of steel are also acceptable. Figure 8 is a front view showing frame members 2, 3, 4, and 5, first rod-shaped members 9, 9, and second rod-shaped members 8, 8. Figure 9 is a right side view of them, Figure 10 is a rear view of them, Figure 11 is a top view of them, Figure 12 is a bottom view of them, Figure 13 is a perspective view of them from above, and Figure 14 is a perspective view of them from below. [Industrial applicability]
[0036] The suspension frame device of the present invention is useful when suspending air conditioning equipment or the like from a ceiling with uneven surfaces such as a QL deck, as it allows for easy position adjustment. [Explanation of symbols]
