During installation, the upper end of the hanging rod is fixed to the ceiling, and the hanging rod passes through the hanging lug, and there is an adjustment nut on the upper and lower sides of the hanging lug. When the height position of the hanging lug needs to be adjusted, the upper and lower adjustment nuts need to be adjusted together. When the required height position is adjusted, the two adjustment nuts need to be tightened together to ensure the reliability of the hanging. This height adjustment method is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application provides a hanging structure, which can be used for hanging air conditioners, and of course can also be used for hanging other products. The following explanation is given by taking hanging air conditioners as an example.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lifting structure includes: a lifting component 1, a lifting rod 2, an adjusting nut 3 and a locking structure 4.

[0037] The hanging member 1 is configured to be connected to the air conditioner body (of course, not limited to the air conditioner body, but also other products). The hanging member 1 includes a hanging ear 13, and the hanging ear 13 is provided with a first connecting hole 131.

[0038] The suspension rod 2 is inserted into the first connection hole 131 (such as Figure 4 As shown), and with the first connecting hole 131, the ear 13 is loosely matched so that the ear 13 can move relative to the boom 2 along the height direction of the boom 2. The boom 2 is provided with an external thread, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, for example, the suspension rod 2 can be in the form of a screw rod, a lead screw, etc.

[0039] The adjusting nut 3 is threadedly engaged with the suspension rod 2 and is located on a side (i.e., the lower side) of the lifting ear 13 away from the top of the suspension rod 2 , and is configured to be able to spirally move along the suspension rod 2 to adjust the height position of the lifting ear 13 on the suspension rod 2 .

[0040] The locking structure 4 cooperates with the lifting ear 13 and is configured to lock the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 to limit the movement of the lifting ear 13 relative to the suspension rod 2 .

[0041] In the hoisting structure provided in the embodiment of the present application, when adjusting the height position of the hanging ear 13, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting nut 3 on the lower side of the hanging ear 13 until the hanging ear 13 is rotated to a suitable height position, and then the hanging ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 are locked by the locking structure 4 so that the hanging ear 13 cannot move relative to the suspension rod 2, thereby achieving the reliability of the height position of the hanging ear 13 and ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner hoisting. Compared with the related art that requires adjusting the upper and lower adjusting nuts 3 at the same time to adjust the height position of the hanging ear 13, the present solution only requires adjusting the lower adjusting nut 3 to adjust the height position of the hanging ear 13, thereby improving the operational convenience of adjusting the height position of the hanging ear 13 and helping to reduce the difficulty of hoisting the air conditioner.

[0042] In some exemplary embodiments, the locking structure 4 is configured to be switchable between a locked state in which the lifting eye 13 and the suspension rod 2 are locked, and an unlocked state in which the lifting eye 13 and the suspension rod 2 are unlocked. In addition, the state switching operation of the locking structure 4 and the height position adjustment operation of the nut 3 are configured to be performed on the same side of the lifting eye 13.

[0043] In other words, the locking structure 4 has two states, a locked state and an unlocked state, and the two states can be switched by a state switching operation. Since the adjusting nut 3 is located at the lower side of the lifting ear 13, the height position of the adjusting nut 3 is operated at the lower side of the lifting ear 13, and the state switching operation of the locking structure 4 is also performed at the lower side of the lifting ear 13, which further improves the operational convenience of adjusting the height position of the lifting ear 13.

[0044] In addition, the traditional solution of using two upper and lower adjusting nuts 3 is difficult to implement in scenarios with limited space, that is, the opening of the rear ceiling panel cannot be made very large due to the size of the air-conditioning panel, so that the hand cannot reach in. At this time, the height of the hanging ear 13 is difficult to adjust, and the height adjustment of the hanging ear 13 needs to be abandoned or the upper adjusting nut 3 cannot be tightened, which will lead to reliability risks such as vibration and abnormal noise transmitted during the operation of the air conditioner, resulting in poor user experience and complaints.

[0045] In this solution, the height of the rear ear 13 of the ceiling can also be freely adjusted, because the operation of the adjustment nut 3 and the locking structure 4 is performed on the lower side of the ear 13, and the operator does not need to put his hand into the ceiling, so it can ensure that the ear 13 can be moved to a suitable height position, and the stability and reliability of the position of the ear 13 are guaranteed by the locking structure 4, which is conducive to avoiding the quality risk caused by the installer's inadequate adjustment, and is conducive to reducing the reliability risk of abnormal sound transmitted by the air conditioner during operation, which is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, this can also avoid opening too many maintenance holes on the ceiling, and also reduce the difficulty of after-sales service.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, the locking structure 4 includes: an auxiliary fixing plate 41 and a locking member 42, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown.

[0047] Among them, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is sleeved on the hanger 2 and can be loosely matched with the hanger 2 so that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can move relative to the hanger 2 along the height direction of the hanger 2. The auxiliary fixing plate 41 is at least partially located on the side of the ear 13 away from the adjusting nut 3 (i.e., the upper side).

[0048] The locking member 42 is configured to lock the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2 to limit the movement of the auxiliary fixing plate 41 relative to the suspension rod 2 , thereby indirectly locking the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 .

[0049] When the locking member 42 does not lock the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2, the locking structure 4 is in an unlocked state. At this time, the height positions of the lifting ear 13 and the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be moved by rotating the adjusting nut 3. When the lifting ear 13 moves to a suitable height position, the locking member 42 is locked so that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 cannot move relative to the suspension rod 2, and the locking structure 4 switches to a locked state. Since at least part of the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is located on the upper side of the lifting ear 13, the lifting ear 13 cannot move upward due to the restriction of the auxiliary fixing plate 41; and the adjusting nut 3 is located on the lower side of the lifting ear 13, the lifting ear 13 cannot move downward due to the restriction of the adjusting nut 3, thereby achieving the locking of the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2, ensuring that the lifting ear 13 cannot move up and down along the suspension rod 2.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 includes a first limiting plate 411, a first folding plate 413 and a second limiting plate 412 connected in sequence. The first limiting plate 411 is provided with a second connection hole 4111, and the second limiting plate 412 is provided with a third connection hole 4121. The suspension rod 2 is penetrated through the second connection hole 4111 and the third connection hole 4121, and can be loosely matched with the second connection hole 4111 and the third connection hole 4121 to ensure that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can move along the suspension rod 2.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first limit plate 411 is located on the side of the ear 13 away from the adjusting nut 3 (i.e., the upper side), the second limit plate 412 is located between the ear 13 and the adjusting nut 3, and the first folding plate 413 is located outside the outer edge of the ear 13. Based on the auxiliary fixing plate 41 being in a natural state, there is a gap between the second limit plate 412 and the ear 13. The auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be elastically deformed. When the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is in a natural state, the locking structure 4 is in an unlocked state; when the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is elastically deformed due to the locking member 42 locking the second limit plate 412 and the ear 13, the locking structure 4 is in a locked state.

[0052] The locking member 42 is configured to lock the second limiting plate 412 and the lifting ear 13 and restrict the auxiliary fixing plate 41 from moving relative to the suspension rod 2 , so that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 clamps the lifting ear 13 and restricts the lifting ear 13 from moving relative to the suspension rod 2 .

[0053] In this way, when the locking member 42 does not lock the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2 (i.e., when the locking structure 4 is in the unlocked state), the first limiting plate 411 and the second limiting plate 412 are both in clearance with the suspension rod 2, so that the height positions of the lifting ear 13 and the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be moved by rotating the adjustment nut 3. When the lifting ear 13 moves to a suitable height position, the locking member 42 is locked, so that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is deformed due to the locking of the first limiting plate 411 and the second limiting plate 412, and the gap between the second limiting plate 412 and the lifting ear 13 disappears, and the first limiting plate 411 and / or the second limiting plate 412 move horizontally and clamp the suspension rod 2, so that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 cannot move relative to the suspension rod 2, thereby achieving the locking between the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2. At the same time, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 will also clamp the lifting ear 13, thereby locking the lifting ear 13. In this way, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 has a dual limiting effect on the lifting ear 13, with limits both above and below. Even if the adjusting nut 3 moves downward, the lifting ear 13 cannot move downward, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the position of the lifting ear 13.

[0054] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting plate 412, the lifting ear 13 and the first limiting plate 411 are further provided with a fourth connection hole 4122, a fifth connection hole 132 and a sixth connection hole 4112 respectively. The locking member 42 is a fastener, which can be a locking screw. The fastener is arranged to be sequentially penetrated through the fourth connection hole 4122, the fifth connection hole 132 and the sixth connection hole 4112 to lock the second limiting plate 412 and the lifting ear 13 and make the first limiting plate 411 and the suspension rod 2 tightly fit, so as to limit the auxiliary fixing plate 41 from moving relative to the suspension rod 2.

[0055] Therefore, when the lifting ear 13 is moved to a suitable height position, the fastener is passed from bottom to top through the fourth connection hole 4122, the fifth connection hole 132 and the sixth connection hole 4112 to be locked, and the second limit plate 412, the lifting ear 13 and the first limit plate 411 can be stacked and tightly attached together to achieve locking. In addition, the first limit plate 411 will have a horizontal displacement to clamp the suspension rod 2, so that the first limit plate 411 and the suspension rod 2 are tightly matched, so that the auxiliary fixing plate 41 cannot move relative to the suspension rod 2, thereby achieving the locking between the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2.

[0056] When the height of the lifting ear 13 needs to be adjusted, the fastener is removed, and the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be restored to its original state, releasing the lock between itself and the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2, so that the height position of the lifting ear 13 can be adjusted.

[0057] In some embodiments, the sixth connection hole 4112 is configured as a strip-shaped hole, such as a rectangular hole (eg Figure 1 As shown), waist-shaped holes and other shapes.

[0058] In this way, the sixth connecting hole 4112 has a larger area, which is convenient for the first limiting plate 411 to produce displacement in the horizontal direction, so as to achieve a tight fit between the suspension rod 2 and the first limiting plate 411, and can also avoid interference with the locking piece 42, thereby facilitating the locking operation of the locking piece 42.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the third connection hole 4121 is provided with a notch 4123 (eg Figure 5 This not only facilitates the assembly and disassembly between the suspension rod 2 and the auxiliary fixing plate 41, but also facilitates the auxiliary fixing plate 41 to move up and down along the suspension rod 2, and also facilitates the auxiliary fixing plate 41 to elastically deform when locked, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving the convenience of operation.

[0060] For example, during installation, the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 can be assembled first, and then the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be installed from top to bottom, and then the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be tilted so that the second limiting plate 412 can pass over the lifting ear 13 and come to the lower side of the lifting ear 13, and then the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be straightened so that the suspension rod 2 passes through the third connection hole 4121 of the second limiting plate 412. When removing the auxiliary fixing plate 41, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can also be tilted first so that the second limiting plate 412 can pass over the lifting ear 13 and come to the upper side of the lifting ear 13, and then the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be straightened (or not straightened) until the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is separated from the suspension rod 2. In this way, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 can be set as an integrated structure, such as an integrally formed sheet metal part, which has high structural strength and is relatively simple to assemble.

[0061] In some embodiments, the locking structure 4 further includes: a gasket 43 (such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 is clamped between the second limiting plate 412 and the lifting ear 13, and the suspension rod 2 is passed through the gasket 43. This is conducive to preventing the auxiliary fixing plate 41 from tilting during use, causing the suspension rod 2 to fall out of the notch 4123 of the third connecting hole 4121, thereby improving the reliability of the auxiliary fixing plate 41.

[0062] Of course, the gasket 43 can also be omitted. The auxiliary fixing plate 41 can also be set as a split assembly structure, and the third connecting hole 4121 can also be set as a circumferentially closed hole. Alternatively, the first connecting hole 131 of the lifting ear 13 can also be provided with a notch 4123, so that the lifting ear 13 can be horizontally inserted into the suspension rod 2 or detached from the lifting ear 13.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary fixing plate 41 further includes a second folding plate 414 , which is located between the first folding plate 413 and the second limiting plate 412 ; and along the direction approaching the suspension rod 2 , the second folding plate 414 extends obliquely toward the direction approaching the first limiting plate 411 .

[0064] The provision of the second folding plate 414 facilitates the elastic deformation of the auxiliary fixing plate 41 when being locked, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of operation and improve the convenience of operation.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the thread outer diameter of the suspension rod 2 is recorded as D, the diameter of the second connection hole 4111 is recorded as D1, the distance between the central axis of the suspension rod 2 and the outer edge of the lifting ear 13 is recorded as A, and the distance between the central axis of the suspension rod 2 and the inner plate surface of the first folding plate 413 is recorded as B; based on the auxiliary fixing plate 41 being in a natural state, the distance dimension of the gap between the second limiting plate 412 and the lifting ear 13 is recorded as C. Among them, Figure 4 It is only schematically shown that the locking member 42 is inserted into the fourth connecting hole 4122 , the fifth connecting hole 132 and the sixth connecting hole 4112 , but the locking member 42 is not in a locked state, so the locking structure 4 is still in an unlocked state as a whole.

[0066] Among them, B>A, C>(D1 / 2-D / 2)+(BA).

[0067] B>A, which can ensure that there is a gap between the first folding plate 413 and the outer edge of the ear 13 in the unlocked state. BA, represents the gap width between the first folding plate 413 and the outer edge of the ear 13 in the unlocked state. D1 / 2-D / 2, represents the gap width between the suspension rod 2 and the second connection hole 4111 in the unlocked state.

[0068] When the fastener is locked, the second limit plate 412 moves upward and is close to the lifting ear 13, which will pull the first folding plate 413 to be close to the outer edge of the lifting ear 13, and the first folding plate 413 will pull the first limit plate 411, so that the first limit plate 411 produces a horizontal displacement, thereby achieving a tight fit between the first limit plate 411 and the suspension rod 2. C>(D1 / 2-D / 2)+(BA), which means that the vertical displacement of the first limit plate 411 during the locking process can consume the horizontal displacement of the first folding plate 413 and the horizontal displacement of the first limit plate 411, so as to ensure that the suspension rod 2 can be tightly fitted with the first limit plate 411.

[0069] In some embodiments, 0<BA≤1mm, 2mm≤C-(D1 / 2-D / 2)-(BA)≤3mm.

[0070] In this way, the gap width between the first folding plate 413 and the outer edge of the ear 13 in the unlocked state is appropriate, and the vertical displacement of the first limit plate 411 during the locking process is also appropriate, so that the fastening stroke of the fastener is not too short or too long, which can ensure effective locking and convenient operation.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the hanging member 1 further comprises a supporting plate 11 and a connecting plate 12. The supporting plate 11, the connecting plate 12 and the hanging lug 13 are connected in sequence. The connecting plate 12 is provided with a seventh connecting hole 121 which can be connected to the air conditioner body through a fastener.

[0072] The support plate 11 can be inserted into the air conditioner body or fixed to the top cover plate of the air conditioner body, and the connecting plate 12 can be fixedly connected to the air conditioner body by fasteners (such as screws). The lifting ear 13 is provided with the above-mentioned first connecting hole 131, the fifth connecting hole 132 and other structures, and cooperates with the suspension rod 2 and the auxiliary fixing plate 41. The hanging component 1 can be an integrated structure, such as an integrally formed sheet metal component, which has high structural strength and is relatively simple to assemble. In other embodiments, the hanging component 1 may not include the support plate 11, and the hanging component 1 may also be integrally formed with the casing of the air conditioner body.

[0073] The ear 13 may also be provided with some flanges, which are provided at the outer edge of the ear 13. The distance between the first folded plate 413 and the outer edge of the ear 13 in the above solution may be the distance between the first folded plate 413 and the flanges.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner, comprising: an air conditioner main body (not shown in the figure) and a hanging structure as in any one of the above embodiments, wherein the hanging component 1 is connected to the air conditioner main body.

[0075] The air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the hanging structure of any one of the above embodiments, and thus has all the above beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for hoisting the above air conditioner, comprising the following steps:

[0077] Step S202: Mount the lifting lug and the adjusting nut on the suspension rod, adjust the lifting lug to a theoretical height position, and lock the lifting lug and the suspension rod using a locking structure;

[0078] Step S204: fixing the suspension rod to the ceiling;

[0079] Step S206: based on the theoretical height position of the lifting ear not meeting the actual height position requirement, the locking structure is unlocked, the height position of the lifting ear is adjusted by adjusting the nut until the height position of the lifting ear meets the actual height position requirement, and the locking structure is used to lock the lifting ear and the suspension rod again.

[0080] In the method for hoisting the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present application, when adjusting the height position of the lifting ear 13, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting nut 3 on the lower side of the lifting ear 13 until the lifting ear 13 is rotated to a suitable height position, and then the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 are locked by the locking structure 4, so that the lifting ear 13 cannot move relative to the suspension rod 2, thereby achieving the reliability of fixing the height position of the lifting ear 13 and ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner hoisting. Compared with the related art that requires adjusting the upper and lower adjusting nuts 3 at the same time to adjust the height position of the lifting ear 13, the present solution only requires adjusting the lower adjusting nut 3 to adjust the height position of the lifting ear 13, thereby improving the operational convenience of adjusting the height position of the lifting ear 13, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of hoisting the air conditioner.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, the locking structure 4 includes an auxiliary fixing plate 41 and a locking member 42. The lifting ear 13 and the adjusting nut 3 are mounted on the suspension rod 2, the lifting ear 13 is adjusted to a theoretical height position, and the locking structure 4 is used to lock the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2, including:

[0082] The lifting ear 13 , the adjusting nut 3 and the auxiliary fixing plate 41 are mounted on the suspension rod 2 , the lifting ear 13 is adjusted to a theoretical height position, and the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2 are locked with the locking member 42 to indirectly lock the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 .

[0083] Unlocking the locking structure 4 includes: removing the locking member 42 .

[0084] The locking structure 4 is used again to lock the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 , including: the locking member 42 is used again to lock the auxiliary fixing plate 41 and the suspension rod 2 , so as to indirectly lock the lifting ear 13 and the suspension rod 2 .

[0085] Among them, the theoretical height position of the ear 13 can be obtained by calculation. For example, through the height of the ceiling, the thickness of the air-conditioning body, the length of the suspension rod 2, and the position of the ear 13 on the air-conditioning body, the height position of the ear 13 when the air-conditioning panel is flush with the ceiling panel, that is, the theoretical height position, can be comprehensively obtained.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, the actual height position requirement of the hanging ear 13 is determined by the height position requirement of the air conditioning panel.

[0087] Theoretically, when the height position of the hanging ear 13 is adjusted to the theoretical height position, the panel of the air conditioner should be flush with the gusset plate of the ceiling. However, there will inevitably be deviations in the theoretical calculated value. Therefore, when the hanger 2 is fixed to the ceiling, the panel of the air conditioner may not be exactly flush with the gusset plate of the ceiling. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the position of the hanging ear 13 so that the height position of the air conditioner body can be adjusted to ensure that the panel at the lower end of the air conditioner body can eventually be flush with the gusset plate of the ceiling.

[0088] Therefore, when the theoretical height position of the hanging ear 13 meets the actual height position requirement, the panel can be directly installed. When the theoretical height position of the hanging ear 13 does not meet the actual height position requirement, the locking structure 4 needs to be unlocked to readjust the height position of the hanging ear 13 until the actual height position of the hanging ear 13 meets the actual height position requirement, and then the locking structure 4 is locked and the panel is installed.

[0089] Among them, when the theoretical height position of the lifting ear 13 is higher than the actual height position requirement, the adjusting nut 3 is screwed downward so that the lifting ear 13 and the air conditioner body can move downward together under the action of gravity until the actual height position of the lifting ear 13 meets the actual height position requirement.

[0090] When the theoretical height position of the lifting ear 13 is lower than the actual height position requirement, the adjusting nut 3 is screwed upward to push the lifting ear 13 and the air conditioner body upward together until the actual height position of the lifting ear 13 meets the actual height position requirement.
