Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a hanging structure and duct air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, more and more families are choosing to install central air conditioning, which includes ducted air conditioners. Compared with ordinary air conditioners, ducted air conditioners have higher air pressure, allowing them to blow air farther. Furthermore, ducted air conditioners offer significantly better aesthetics and comfort after installation. Currently, ducted air conditioners are generally installed using a combined hook structure. The hooks are fixed to the side panels of the ducted air conditioner using bolts or other combinations, and then suspended from the ceiling using expansion screws, fixing rods, and nuts. This structure is complex to manufacture and assemble, and the direction of force during suspension can easily cause deformation of the connecting side panels or top cover. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem that the hoisting of duct air conditioners in the prior art is prone to deformation of the connecting side plates or the top cover, the present invention proposes a hanging structure and a duct air conditioner.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:

[0005] This invention proposes a hanging structure, comprising:

[0006] The housing has multiple mounting openings on its side panels;

[0007] Multiple hanging rods, the upper ends of which are fixed to the wall;

[0008] A connecting component is installed on the hanging rod, and its fixing part passes through the mounting opening and is fixed to the side plate of the housing.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting piece extends parallel to the upper edge of the side plate of the housing, and the mounting opening is provided on the connecting piece.

[0010] Furthermore, the connection component includes:

[0011] A sleeve, which is fitted onto the suspension rod;

[0012] The second connecting piece is provided along the cross-section of the sleeve, and the second connecting piece is provided with a connecting hole;

[0013] The fixing part passes through the mounting opening and the connecting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing part can be any one of a pin, bolt, or rivet.

[0015] Furthermore, the hanging rod is threaded on the outside, and a nut is installed on the hanging rod to restrict the installation position of the connecting assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, one of the multiple mounting openings on one of the side plates is a transverse strip hole.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting opening is provided at the upper edge of the side plate of the housing.

[0018] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes: a sleeve and the fixing part, the fixing part being a hook, the sleeve being fitted onto the hanging rod, and a hook being provided on the outer surface of the sleeve, the hook being hooked into the installation opening.

[0019] Furthermore, an inwardly folded edge is provided at the upper edge of the side plate, and the upper cover plate of the housing is connected to the folded edge.

[0020] The present invention also proposes a duct air conditioner, including the above-mentioned hanging structure.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an installation opening on the side plate of the housing, so that the gravity and tension on the side plate are on the same straight line and are forces parallel to the plane of the side plate. The connecting component passes through the installation opening of the side plate, is fixed to the side plate, and is connected to the hanging rod, thereby realizing the hanging. This solves the technical problem that the traditional hanging structure is prone to deformation of the connecting side plate or the top cover plate due to the direction of the force during hanging.

[0031] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] The principles and structure of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] With the improvement of living standards, more and more families are choosing to install central air conditioning, which includes ducted air conditioners. Compared with ordinary air conditioners, ducted air conditioners have higher air pressure, can blow air farther, and are much more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable after installation. Currently, ducted air conditioners are generally installed using a combined hook structure. The hooks are fixed to the side panels of the ducted air conditioner with bolts or other combinations, and then suspended from the ceiling using expansion screws, fixing rods, and nuts. This structure is complex to manufacture and assemble, and the direction of force during suspension can easily cause deformation of the connecting side panels or top cover plate. This invention proposes a suspension structure that changes the direction of force on the side panel 2 and top cover plate 1, making it less likely for the connecting side panel 2 or top cover plate 1 to deform during suspension due to the direction of force.

[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes a hanging structure, comprising:

[0035] The housing has multiple mounting openings on its side panel 2 for securing it to the connecting components.

[0036] Hanging rod 6 is a long rod, and multiple hanging rods 6 are set vertically. One end of the hanging rod 6 is fixed to the wall (specifically the ceiling), and the other end is provided with a connecting component for connecting to the installation opening of the housing. The connecting component passes through the installation opening on the housing and is fixed to the side plate 2 of the housing.

[0037] like Figure 1-4As shown, in the first embodiment, the housing has two side plates 2 located at both ends. The side plates 2 are rectangular panels, with two connecting pieces 8 extending parallel to each other from the upper edge of the panel. The connecting assembly works in conjunction with the connecting pieces 8. The two connecting pieces 8 are located on the left and right sides of the upper edge of the panel, respectively. The two connecting pieces 8 have the same shape, and pre-drilled holes at the same position on both connecting pieces 8 serve as installation openings for connection with the connecting assembly. Because the connecting pieces 8 extend parallel to the upper edge of the panel, and the installation openings are located on the connecting pieces 8, the gravity and tension on the side plate 2 are on the same straight line, which is a force parallel to the plane of the side plate 2, preventing the side plate 2 from being easily deformed by forces from other directions. The hanging rod 6 is vertically set, perpendicular to the wall to be installed. The upper end of the hanging rod 6 is fixed to the wall, and the other end of the hanging rod 6 is fixed to the connecting assembly (the hanging rod 6 and the wall can be fixed by expansion screws or other means to fix the hanging rod 6 to the wall).

[0038] In a further embodiment, the connecting assembly specifically includes: a sleeve 3, a second connecting piece 9, and a fixing part 4. The sleeve 3 is a cylinder with a hollow interior, lacking a top and bottom surface. The sleeve 3 is fitted onto the hanging rod 6, and the second connecting piece 9 extends outward along the tangential surface of the cylinder. The second connecting piece 9 has a pre-drilled hole as a connecting hole, aligning the connecting hole on the second connecting piece 9 with the mounting opening on the connecting piece 8 of the side plate 2. The fixing part 4 passes through the connecting hole on the second connecting piece 9 and the mounting opening on the connecting piece 8 of the side plate 2, thus fixing the connecting assembly to the side plate 2 of the housing. The fixing part 4 can be any one of a pin, bolt, or rivet.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in a further embodiment, the inner diameter of the sleeve 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the hanging rod 6, allowing the hanging rod 6 to pass through the inside of the sleeve 3. The hanging rod 6 is a long rod, with its upper end fixed to the wall and its other end passing through the sleeve 3 of the connecting component, so that the sleeve 3 of the connecting component is fitted onto the hanging rod 6. The hanging rod 6 and the sleeve 3 can move freely up and down. The lower end of the long rod is provided with threads for installing a nut 5. The nut 5 is used to limit the position of the connecting component on the hanging rod 6. After the hanging rod 6 passes through the sleeve 3 of the connecting component, the nut 5 is fixed on the thread of the hanging rod 6. By rotating the nut 5 to adjust its position, the position of the connecting component on the hanging rod 6 can be adjusted.

[0041] like Figure 1-2As shown, in a further embodiment, the housing has two side plates 2 located at both ends. The side plates 2 are rectangular panels with two connecting pieces 8 extending parallel to each other from the upper edge of the panel. The two connecting pieces 8 are located on the left and right sides of the upper edge of the panel, respectively. The two connecting pieces 8 have the same shape and are provided with reserved holes at the same position as installation openings for connecting with the connecting components. One of the reserved holes is circular, and the other is a horizontally elongated shape. The circular hole facilitates fixing with the connecting components, while the horizontally elongated shape is to prevent assembly errors. Because during installation, the hanging rod 6 is generally fixed to the wall first, then the hanging rod 6 is passed through the sleeve 3 of the connecting component, and a nut 5 is installed on the thread of the hanging rod 6 on the lower side of the sleeve 3 to fix or adjust the position of the connecting components. Finally, the housing is fixed to the connecting components through the connecting pieces 8 on the two side plates 2. Since the hanging rod 6 and the connecting components are fixed to the wall first, it cannot be guaranteed that the position of the hanging rod 6 corresponds exactly to the position of the installation opening on the side plate 2 of the housing. To avoid installation errors that lead to assembly difficulties, one of the multiple installation openings on a side plate 2 is set to be a horizontally elongated shape.

[0042] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a further embodiment, the side plate 2 is a rectangular panel with two connecting pieces 8 extending parallel to each other from the upper edge of the panel. The two connecting pieces 8 are located on the left and right sides of the upper edge of the panel, respectively. The two connecting pieces 8 have the same shape and are provided with reserved holes at the same position as installation openings for connection with the connecting components. The two connecting pieces 8 are provided with inward recesses corresponding to the positions of the lower side plate 2. After the side plate 2 is installed with the connecting components and the hanging rod 6, the position of the recess corresponds to the position of the nut 5 installed on the thread of the hanging rod 6, to prevent the gap between the nut 5 and the side plate 2 from being too small, which would cause difficulties during installation.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the upper edge of the housing side plate 2 is perpendicularly connected to the two ends of the housing top cover plate 1. The connection between the housing top cover plate 1 and the side plate 2 is provided with an opening corresponding to the connecting piece 8 on the side plate 2, so that when the side plate 2 and the top cover plate 1 are installed, the connecting piece of the side plate 2 can pass through the opening of the top cover plate 1.

[0044] In a further embodiment, an inwardly folded edge is provided at the upper edge of the side plate 2, and the folded edge is perpendicular to the side plate 2, increasing the contact area between the side plate 2 and the upper cover plate 1. Since some components are fixed to the upper cover plate 1, the inwardly folded edge at the upper edge of the side plate 2 increases the contact area between the side plate 2 and the upper cover plate 1, transferring the force on the upper cover plate 1 to the side plate 2 and preventing the upper cover plate 1 from deforming due to excessive force.

[0045] In a further embodiment, a sponge is installed between the folded edge of the side panel 2 and the top cover 1.

[0046] like Figure 1-2As shown, the specific installation method of the first embodiment is as follows: First, the upper ends of the four hanging rods 6 are fixed to the wall with expansion screws. The four connecting components are respectively fitted onto the four hanging rods 6. Nuts 5 are installed on the threads of the hanging rods 6 to fix the connecting components. The connecting holes of the four connecting components correspond to the installation openings of the four connecting pieces 8 of the outer shell. The fixing part 4 passes through the connecting holes and the installation holes at the same time to fix the outer shell and the connecting components together. The position of the connecting components can be adjusted by rotating the nuts 5, thereby adjusting the height of the outer shell and ensuring the distance between the upper cover plate 1 and the wall and the overall tilt angle of the outer shell.

[0047] like Figure 5-7 As shown, in the second embodiment, a long strip-shaped installation opening is provided at the upper edge of the side plate 2 of the housing. The hanging rod 6 is a long rod, vertically arranged, with one end fixed to the wall and the other end provided with a connecting component for connecting to the installation opening of the housing. The connecting component passes through the installation opening on the housing and is fixed to the side plate 2 of the housing. Specifically, two installation openings are provided at the upper edges of the two side plates 2 of the housing, respectively. The installation openings are long strip-shaped and are horizontally arranged on the left and right sides of the side plates 2 near the upper edge. Because the installation openings are located on the side plates 2, when hanging, the gravity and tension of the side plates 2 are on the same straight line, which is a force parallel to the plane of the side plates 2, making it less likely for the side plates 2 to deform.

[0048] In a further embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a sleeve 3 and a hook 7. The sleeve 3 is a cylinder with a hollow interior, without a top or bottom surface. The outer surface of the sleeve is provided with a hook. The hook 7 is formed by bending a long strip of plate. The width of the long strip of plate is smaller than the width of the long strip installation opening on the side plate 2 to prevent installation errors from causing installation difficulties. The upper half of one side of the long strip of plate is fixed to the sleeve 3 (the sleeve 3 is set vertically), and the lower half is bent obliquely upward to form an upward hook 7 for hooking with the installation opening of the side plate 2. The hook 7 is as close as possible to the side plate 2 to reduce the force on the side plate 2 in other directions.

[0049] In a further embodiment, the inner diameter of the sleeve 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the hanging rod 6, allowing the hanging rod 6 to pass through the inside of the sleeve 3. The hanging rod 6 is a long rod, with its upper end fixed to the wall and its other end passing through the sleeve 3 of the connecting component, so that the sleeve 3 of the connecting component is fitted onto the hanging rod. The hanging rod 6 and the sleeve 3 can move freely up and down. The lower end of the long rod is provided with threads for installing a nut 5. The nut 5 is used to limit the position of the connecting component on the hanging rod 6. After the hanging rod 6 passes through the sleeve 3 of the connecting component, the nut 5 is fixed on the thread of the hanging rod 6. By rotating the nut 5 to adjust its position, the position of the connecting component on the hanging rod 6 can be adjusted.

[0050] In a further embodiment, an inwardly folded edge is provided at the upper edge of the side plate 2, and the folded edge is perpendicular to the side plate 2, increasing the contact area between the housing side plate 2 and the housing top cover plate 1. Since some components are fixed to the top cover plate 1, by providing a vertically inwardly folded edge at the upper edge of the side plate 2, the contact area between the side plate 2 and the top cover plate 1 is increased, the force on the top cover plate 1 is transferred to the side plate 2, and the top cover plate 1 is prevented from being deformed due to excessive force.

[0051] In a further embodiment, a sponge is installed between the folded edge of the side panel 2 and the top cover 1.

[0052] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the specific installation method of the second embodiment is as follows: the upper ends of the four hanging rods 6 are vertically fixed to the wall with expansion screws. The positions of the hanging rods 6 correspond to the installation openings of the two side plates 2 of the housing. Connecting components are respectively fitted onto the four hanging rods 6. The hooks 7 on the sleeves 3 face upwards and are used to hook with the installation openings of the side plates 2 of the housing. Nuts 5 are installed on the threads of the hanging rods 6 below the connecting components to fix and adjust the position of the connecting components. Finally, the hooks 7 of the connecting components are inserted into the installation openings of the side plates 2 of the housing to fix the hanging rods 6 and the housing together through the connecting components. The position of the connecting components can be adjusted by rotating the nuts 5, thereby adjusting the height of the housing and ensuring the distance between the housing and the wall and the overall tilt angle of the housing.

[0053] The present invention also proposes a wind-mounted fan, including the above-mentioned hanging structure.

[0054] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the ducted air conditioner includes: a housing, a cooling module or a heating module. The upper edges of the two side plates 2 of the housing are vertically connected to the side edges of the upper cover plate 1 at both ends. The side plates 2 are provided with connection openings for fixing with connecting components. The openings are located on the side plates 2 so that the gravity and tensile force on the side plates 2 are in a straight line, parallel to the side plates 2, making the side plates 2 less prone to deformation. Because some components of the cooling module or heating module are fixed to the upper cover plate 1, an inward folded edge is provided at the upper edge of the side plates 2 to increase the contact area between the side plates 2 and the upper cover plate 1, transferring the force on the upper cover plate 1 to the side plates 2 and preventing the upper cover plate 1 from deforming due to excessive force.

[0055] This invention provides an installation opening on the side plate 2 of the housing, so that the gravity and tension on the side plate 2 are on the same straight line and are parallel to the plane of the side plate 2. The connecting component passes through the installation opening of the side plate 2, is fixed to the side plate 2, and is connected to the hanging rod 6, thereby realizing the hanging. This solves the technical problem that the traditional hanging structure is prone to deformation of the connecting side plate 2 or the top cover plate 1 due to the direction of the force during hanging.
