Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an installation method for a saddle-shaped window air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most window air conditioners on the market are square in shape and belong to integral air conditioners, which are composed of a chassis, a housing, a panel, an air duct, an indoor fan, an outdoor fan, a motor, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, etc. After installation, the height of blocking sunlight is approximately the total height of the window air conditioner, and customers cannot enjoy sufficient sunlight; since the outdoor part and the indoor part of the window air conditioner are an integral whole, the noise generated by the outdoor part will also be transmitted indoors, resulting in very loud noise, affecting the comfort of customers and being not applicable to customers sensitive to noise.

[0003] To solve this problem, the saddle-shaped air conditioner came into being. It mainly includes an indoor part and an outdoor part, separating the indoor part from the outdoor part, effectively reducing indoor noise. The indoor part and the outdoor part are connected through a saddle bridge structure. The indoor part mainly includes components such as a panel, a housing, a chassis, an indoor heat exchanger, a cross-flow fan, a motor, an air duct, an electric control component, etc. The outdoor part mainly includes components such as a housing, a chassis, a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, a pipeline, a motor, a motor bracket, an axial flow fan, etc.

[0004] The installation process of the existing saddle-shaped air conditioner is cumbersome and the installation efficiency is low. An auxiliary installation bracket is required, and professional personnel are needed for on-site installation, resulting in poor user experience.

[0005] The above information disclosed in this background art is only used to increase the understanding of the background art of the present application. Therefore, it may include prior art that is not known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the problems pointed out in the background art, the present invention proposes an installation method for a saddle-shaped window air conditioner, which is convenient and efficient in installation.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned invention purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention provides an installation method for a saddle-shaped window air conditioner. The window air conditioner includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a saddle bridge structure connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. The saddle bridge structure can be telescopic, and the indoor unit and the outdoor unit extend downward towards the saddle bridge structure. The installation method includes:

[0009] Pasting a back support on the back panel of the indoor unit;

[0010] A window sill and a bottom window frame are provided at the bottom of the window. The bottom window frame is higher than the window sill. A bottom seal is pasted on the bottom window frame, and the bottom seal is higher than the bottom window frame.

[0011] Adjust the length of the saddle bridge structure according to the wall thickness, and paste a bottom support on the bottom of the saddle bridge structure.

[0012] Place the window machine on the window. The back support abuts against the indoor side wall, the bottom of the saddle bridge structure abuts against the bottom seal, and the bottom support abuts against the window sill.

[0013] Paste side seals between the left side wall of the saddle bridge structure and the corresponding window frame, and between the right side wall of the saddle bridge structure and the corresponding window frame.

[0014] Paste a top seal between the top of the saddle bridge structure and the upper window.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, before installing the side seal, pull down the window, draw a straight line at the intersection position of the window and the saddle bridge structure, and paste brackets on the left side wall and the right side wall of the saddle bridge structure respectively. The brackets are located at both ends of the straight line.

[0016] The bracket has an installation groove with open ends and extending vertically, and the side seal is arranged in the installation groove.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, paste the top seal along the straight line on the top of the saddle bridge structure. The top seal covers the top of the side seal at the same time. Pull down the window, and the window abuts against the top seal.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the top of the bracket has a flanging, and the flanging is clamped on the top of the saddle bridge structure.

[0019] The saddle bridge structure includes an inner saddle bridge shell and an outer saddle bridge shell. The outer saddle bridge shell is sleeved outside the inner saddle bridge shell. A plurality of spaced positioning slots are provided along the length direction of the top of the inner saddle bridge shell. The plurality of positioning slots correspond to a plurality of length gears of the saddle bridge structure one by one.

[0020] After adjusting the saddle bridge structure to the corresponding length gear, first snap the flanging into the positioning slot to pre-position the inner saddle bridge shell and the outer saddle bridge shell, then fixedly install the inner saddle bridge shell and the outer saddle bridge shell, and then remove the bracket.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner saddle bridge housing is fixedly connected to the indoor unit, the outer saddle bridge housing is fixedly connected to the outdoor unit, the saddle bridge structure further includes a saddle bridge cover, one end of the saddle bridge cover is connected to the outer saddle bridge housing, and the other end is connected to the indoor unit. When the saddle bridge structure is stretched, the saddle bridge cover shields the exposed inner saddle bridge housing;

[0022] After adjusting the saddle bridge structure to the corresponding length gear, drive screws on the left and right side walls of the saddle bridge cover to fixedly connect the left and right side walls of the saddle bridge cover to the left and right side walls of the outer saddle bridge housing correspondingly.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, a gear mark is provided on the top of the outer saddle bridge housing. When the saddle bridge structure is stretched, the outer saddle bridge housing moves away from the saddle bridge cover, and the gear mark is exposed. Multiple gear marks correspond to multiple positioning slots one by one.

[0074] This saddle-type air conditioner has an N-shaped structure. The indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 are respectively arranged at both ends of the saddle bridge structure 300 and on the same side of the saddle bridge structure 300, and the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 extend downward toward the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0075] When the saddle-type air conditioner is installed on a window, the saddle bridge structure 300 is directly seated on the window, the indoor unit 100 is located on the indoor side, and the outdoor unit 200 is located on the outdoor side.

[0076] Since both the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 are located below the window, this saddle-shaped air conditioner solves the problem that the existing integrated window air conditioner blocks sunlight after installation.

[0077] The separation of the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 by the saddle bridge structure 300 helps to prevent the noise of the outdoor unit 200 from being transmitted to the indoor side, improving the user's comfort.

[0078] The saddle bridge structure 300 can be telescopic. By adjusting the length of the saddle bridge structure 300, it can adapt to walls of different thicknesses. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of the saddle bridge structure 300 when it is not stretched. Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of the saddle bridge structure 300 after being stretched.

[0079] The saddle bridge structure 300 can be provided with multiple telescopic gears, which is convenient for adjustment and use.

[0080] [Saddle bridge structure]

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the saddle bridge structure 300 includes an inner saddle bridge shell 310 and an outer saddle bridge shell 320. The outer saddle bridge shell 320 is sleeved on the outside of the inner saddle bridge shell 310. The inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 can move relative to each other to realize the telescoping of the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0082] One end of the inner saddle bridge shell 310 is connected to one of the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200, and one end of the outer saddle bridge shell 320 is connected to the other of the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200, so as to connect the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 together through the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0083] Figures 6 to 8 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of the inner saddle bridge shell 310. Figures 9 to 11 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of the outer saddle bridge shell 320. Figures 1 to 4 In the shown structure, the inner saddle bridge shell 310 is connected to the indoor unit 100, and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 is connected to the outdoor unit 200.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, a sliding part is provided between the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 to make the sliding movement between the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 more reliable and smooth. The sliding part can be a slide rail structure, or a slideway and slider structure provided between the two.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 respectively have vertical parts extending downward, and the vertical parts form the back panels of the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200.

[0086] The saddle bridge structure 300 is fixedly connected to the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 through two vertical parts, which helps to improve the structural stability among the indoor unit 100, the outdoor unit 200 and the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0087] The saddle bridge structure 300 can bear part of the weight of the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200, and transfer the weight to the window through the saddle bridge structure 300, which helps to improve the safety of the saddle-type air conditioner after installation and reduce the risk of crashing.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The saddle bridge structure 300 further includes a saddle bridge cover 330 . When the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 move away from each other, the saddle bridge cover 330 covers the exposed inner saddle bridge shell 310 .

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 1 An adjusting bolt 210 is provided on the back plate of the outdoor unit 200. After the window machine is placed on the window and the saddle bridge structure 300 is adjusted to the corresponding length position, the adjusting bolt 210 is screwed to make the adjusting bolt 210 abut against the outdoor wall, thereby further improving the installation stability of the window machine.

[0091] For the specific structure of the inner saddle bridge housing 310, in some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figures 9 to 11 The inner saddle bridge shell 310 includes an inner saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate 311 and an inner saddle bridge cover plate 312. The inner saddle bridge cover plate 312 is arranged on the top of the transverse portion 3111 of the inner saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate to enclose a first through cavity 313.

[0092] The vertical portion 3112 of the inner saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate constitutes a back plate of the indoor unit 100 , and the vertical portion 3112 of the inner saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the indoor unit 100 .

[0093] An inner saddle bridge reinforcement plate 314 is provided at the transition position between the transverse portion 3111 and the vertical portion 3112 of the inner saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate to further improve the structural strength of the inner saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate 3111.

[0094] [Saddle bridge structure-outer saddle bridge shell]

[0095] For the specific structure of the outer saddle bridge housing 320, in some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figures 12 to 14 The outer saddle bridge shell 320 includes an outer saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate 321 and an outer saddle bridge cover plate 322. The outer saddle bridge cover plate 322 is arranged on the top of the transverse portion 3221 of the outer saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate to enclose a second through cavity 323.

[0096] The vertical portion 3212 of the L-shaped bottom plate of the outer saddle bridge constitutes the back plate of the outdoor unit 200. Figure 14 The vertical portion 3212 of the L-shaped bottom plate of the outer saddle bridge is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the outdoor unit 200.

[0097] An outer saddle bridge reinforcement plate 324 is provided at the transition position between the transverse portion 3221 and the vertical portion 3222 of the outer saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate to further improve the structural strength of the outer saddle bridge L-shaped bottom plate 321 .

[0098] [Saddle bridge structure-saddle bridge cover]

[0099] For the specific structure of the saddle bridge cover 330, in some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 5 The saddle bridge cover 330 includes a saddle bridge cover top plate 331 and a saddle bridge cover side plate 332 . The saddle bridge cover top plate 331 shields the top of the saddle bridge structure 300 , and the saddle bridge cover side plate 332 shields the side of the saddle bridge structure 300 .

[0100] The saddle bridge cover shell side panel 332 is an L-shaped structure, and the transverse portion 3321 of the saddle bridge cover shell side panel shields the side of the saddle bridge structure 300, and the vertical portion 3322 of the saddle bridge cover shell side panel is fixedly connected to the side panel of the indoor unit 100, constituting a part of the side of the indoor unit 100, and at the same time realizing the fixed installation of the saddle bridge cover shell 330 on the indoor unit 100.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 A protrusion 333 protruding inward is provided on the transverse portion 3321 of the side plate of the saddle bridge cover shell. The protrusion 333 is fixedly connected to the outer saddle bridge shell 320 by a connecting member (such as a screw) to achieve positioning after the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 move relative to each other to the desired position.

[0102] After the saddle bridge structure 300 is stretched into place, screws are driven into the left and right side walls of the saddle bridge cover shell 330 to fix the left and right side walls of the saddle bridge cover shell 330 and the left and right side walls of the outer saddle bridge shell 320 accordingly. The saddle bridge cover shell 330 is fixedly connected to the outer saddle bridge shell 320. Since the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the saddle bridge cover shell 330 are both fixedly connected to the indoor unit 100, and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 is fixedly connected to the outdoor unit 200, the saddle bridge structure 300 is fixedly fixed at a fixed position.

[0103] The arrangement of the raised portion 333 forms a depression on the outer surface of the saddle bridge cover 330, and the screw is embedded in the depression structure, thereby preventing the outer end surface of the screw from protruding out of the saddle bridge cover 330 and scratching the user.

[0104] [Saddle bridge pull-out scale structure]

[0105] ReferenceFigure 3 and Figure 4 On the outer saddle bridge housing 320, there is a gear position indicator 350 for displaying the distance by which the saddle bridge structure 300 is stretched. Through the gear position indicator 350, the user can intuitively know the stretching adjustment condition of the saddle bridge structure 300, improving the user experience.

[0106] Taking Figure 4 the structure shown as an example, the gear position indicator 350 is arranged on the top of the outer saddle bridge housing 320. When the saddle bridge structure is stretched, the gear position indicator 350 is exposed, facilitating observation.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, combined with Figure 9 , the gear position indicator 350 includes a plurality of scale positions 351, and the plurality of scale positions 351 are arranged at intervals along the relative movement direction of the inner saddle bridge housing 310 and the outer saddle bridge housing 320.

[0108] The scale positions 351 are used to represent the gears of different stretching lengths of the saddle bridge structure 300. When the user extends or retracts the saddle bridge structure 300, by observing the scale positions 351, the user can know the current extension or retraction length condition of the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, according to the length of the saddle bridge structure 300, the number of scale positions 351 is 3 to 6.

[0110] [Installation method of window air conditioner]

The bottom of the saddle bridge structure 300 abuts against the bottom seal 430, and the bottom support 420 abuts against the window sill 520 and simultaneously abuts against the bottom of the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0120] 5. Place a level on the top of the saddle bridge structure 300, and check whether the window machine is placed horizontally front and back and left and right through the level, and fine-tune the position of the window machine according to the indication of the level.

[0121] 6. Turn the adjustment bolt 210 on the back panel of the outdoor unit so that the adjustment bolt 210 abuts against the outdoor side wall.

[0122] 7. Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 , paste the side seals 450 between the left side wall of the saddle bridge structure 300 and the corresponding window frame, and between the right side wall and the corresponding window frame.

[0123] 8. Refer to Figure 21 , paste the top seal 440 between the top of the saddle bridge structure 300 and the upper window 530.

[0124] So far, the installation of the window machine is completed. The top of the saddle bridge structure 300 and the upper window are sealed through the top seal 440. The left and right side walls of the saddle bridge structure 300 and the corresponding window frames are sealed through the side seals 450. The bottom of the saddle bridge structure 300 and the bottom window are sealed through the bottom support 420 and the bottom seal 430. In this way, all four sides of the saddle bridge structure 300 are reliably sealed, and the placement area of the bottom of the saddle bridge structure 300 is increased through the bottom support 420, improving the placement stability of the window machine and avoiding the situation of the window machine shaking back and forth.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 19 and Figure 20 , the side seal 450 is fixedly installed through the bracket 460. The brackets 460 are respectively pasted on the left and right sides of the saddle bridge structure 300. With reference to Figure 22 , the bracket 460 has an installation groove 461 with open ends and extending vertically. The side seal is disposed between the installation groove 461 and the corresponding side window frame. Specifically, the bracket 460 is pasted on the left and right sides of the saddle bridge housing 330.

[0126] For the side seals 450 located on the left and right sides, due to the smooth side walls of the saddle bridge structure 300, if the side seals 450 are directly placed between the side walls of the saddle bridge structure 300 and the side window frames, the side seals are likely to fall off. Moreover, when the user opens and closes the door at home, there will be a pressure difference indoors, which further causes the side seals to be easily detached. In this embodiment, the side seals 450 are limited by the installation grooves 461 on the brackets 460, effectively avoiding the problems of dislocation and detachment of the side seals 450 and ensuring the sealing performance after the window machine is installed.

[0127] When pasting the bracket 460 to the side of the saddle bridge housing 330, its specific pasting position is determined by the following method: With reference to Figure 18 , before installing the side seal 450, pull down the window 530, draw a straight line at the intersection position of the window 530 and the saddle bridge structure 300, and paste the brackets 460 on the left and right side walls of the saddle bridge housing 330 respectively. The brackets 460 are located at both ends of the straight line, so that the other side of the side seal 450 inserted into the installation groove 461 of the bracket can exactly abut against the side window frame.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, a top seal 440 is pasted along a straight line on the top of the saddle bridge housing 330. The top seal 440 simultaneously covers the top of the side seal 450, and then pull down the window 530, and the window 530 just abuts against the top seal 440, reaching the Figure 20 shown state.

[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the bracket 460 has another function, that is, when stretching the saddle bridge structure 300, it preliminarily positions the saddle bridge structure 300 to facilitate screwing on both sides. Specifically, with reference to Figure 16 , a plurality of positioning card slots 340 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the top of the outer saddle bridge shell 320. The top of the bracket 460 has a flanging 462. After the saddle bridge structure 300 is stretched to the corresponding gear, first snap the flanging 462 into the positioning card slot 340. At this time, the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 are preliminarily positioned, and then the inner saddle bridge shell 310 and the outer saddle bridge shell 320 are fixedly installed, and then the bracket is removed.

[0130] When installing the side seal 450, refer to Figure 16 , the flanging 462 is clamped on the top of the saddle bridge structure 300, and the installation groove 461 faces the window frame side to facilitate the installation of the side seal 450.

[0131] A plurality of positioning card slots 340 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of gear markings 350 on the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present application, the side end face of the bottom seal 430 abuts against the side seal 450 to ensure reliable sealing at the bottom of the saddle bridge structure 300.

[0133] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0134] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
