Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a window-mounted air conditioner, and more particularly to a device for installing a window-mounted air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning is a general term for conditioning air to a desired state. It can heat the air if it's cold, cool it if it's warm, or clean it if it contains unwanted particles. However, the term "air conditioning" is most often used to emphasize cooling. As a product, air conditioners can look and work in many different ways, but they all have the same basic technology. An air conditioner consists of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and often an expansion device.

[0003] There are different types of air conditioners. One of them is called window mounted air conditioner or window air conditioner. A window air conditioner (AC) is a single AC unit with all parts and components included in a box or housing. Window air conditioners are mainly deployed on sliding sash type windows. This air conditioner is installed into the window opening and placed on the window sill. The weight of the unit is usually concentrated on the outdoor part (OD), while the controls and filters are usually located on the indoor part (ID). The weight of the outdoor side along with the window sliding sash locks the unit in place and prevents it from moving. It is a heavy unit and its weight may exceed the safe weight of a single person to carry. The user needs to lift the unit by grasping the sides of the box shape and sliding / placing it into the open window.

[0004] Lifting the unit vertically from the ground and placing it horizontally on the window sill is a difficult and ergonomically challenging process due to the uneven weight distribution and heavy weight of the machinery inside the box. In addition, when placing the unit on the window, you must first center the unit on the window and then hold the unit with one hand while closing the window with the other. There is a risk that the air conditioner will fall outside. In order to lock the window air conditioner, additional screws are usually installed on the window frame / structure.

[0005] Improvements in air conditioners are always desired. Therefore, there is a need for an improved air conditioner, and in particular, an improved mounting device for mounting a window air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which certain embodiments of the present invention are shown. However, the present invention can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein; rather, these embodiments are provided by way of example so that the disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. For example, the same or similar components in different embodiments may be interchangeable between different embodiments. For example, an air conditioner may be described here as a cooling system, but if the system operates in other modes such as a heating mode or a filtering mode, the cooler may also be a heater. In different embodiments, some components may be omitted. Throughout the specification, the same numbers refer to the same elements.

[0021] Figure 1 A window mounted air conditioner mounting system 10 is shown. The system 10 includes a window 12 having a frame 16. The window 12 typically has a sliding sash 14. The sliding sash 14 can be moved up and down to open / close the window 12. The window mounted air conditioner mounting system 10 also includes a window mounted air conditioner 20. The air conditioner 20 can be used to cool the air in the room within the window 12. The air conditioner 20 is mounted using a window mounted air conditioner mounting assembly 30, which will be described in detail later. In addition, a side panel 32 may be provided, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0022] Figure 2 is with Figure 1 Similar view. Figure 2 The position of the side panel 32 is shown in FIG, wherein the side panel 32 extends to cover the opening on the side of the air conditioner. Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present invention, the side panel is in a retracted position so that air can enter through the opening on the side of the air conditioner 20. The side panel 32 can be a flexible material, or allow the side panel to open / close the opening on the side of the air conditioner. For example, the side panel 32 can be made into an accordion-like structure. When installed on the window, the side panel extends in a horizontal direction to cover the opening on the side of the air conditioner 20 after installation.

[0023] Figure 3 is with Figure 2 Similar views. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the sliding window 14 is in a closed position so that the entire window opening is closed to allow the air conditioner 20 to work effectively without letting outside air enter the room inside the window 12. In this way, the sliding window 14 closes the opening above the air conditioner 20, while the side panel 32 closes the opening on the side of the air conditioner 20.

[0024] Figure 4 A window mounted air conditioner mounting assembly 30 is shown for securing the air conditioner 20 in the window opening. The assembly 30 allows the user to open and close the window in a safe manner, minimizing the risk of the air conditioner falling out of the window during installation. In addition, the assembly 30 also facilitates the effective closing of the opening around the air conditioner 20, thereby allowing the air conditioner to work more efficiently and providing the user with more convenient access to the window when installing the air conditioner. Thus, the sliding sash window can be opened / closed with the air conditioner installed in place. In addition, the user can easily adjust the opening / closing of the side panel 32.

[0025] The window mounted air conditioner mounting assembly 30 includes a support rod 34 that extends at least the width of the window. The support rod 34 includes a central member 36 and a pair of telescopically adjustable side members 38 that are connected to the central member, one on each side of the central member. For example, the telescopically adjustable side members 38 can be slidably inserted into the central member 36. According to one embodiment, the central member 36 is hollow. According to some embodiments, the central member 36 can have a rectangular cross-section and the side members 38 can be telescopically inserted into the central member. In this embodiment, a pair of telescopically adjustable side members 38 are provided. However, it is also conceivable that each telescopically adjustable side member 38 is subdivided into a plurality of telescopically adjustable side members.

[0026] The support rod 34 may be fixed to the air conditioner 20. For example, the center member 36 is fixed to the air conditioner or a support member (which is fixed to the air conditioner) with screws or similar fasteners.

[0027] Further, a pair of slidable anchor bolts 40 may be provided, and the slidable anchor bolts 40 may be attached to the telescopically adjustable side members 38 of the support rod 34. The slidable anchor bolts 40 may be connected to the side panels 32. According to one embodiment, the slidable anchor bolts are provided with connectors for connecting to the side panels 32. For example, hooks or slots may be provided on the slidable anchor bolts 40 for connecting to the side panels 32. In another embodiment, the side panels 32 may be provided with top connectors, which may connect the side panels 32 to the slidable anchor bolts 40.

[0028] According to one embodiment, a stopper 42 is provided on the support rod 34. According to one embodiment, the stopper 42 may include a component that, when the air conditioner is installed in the window, extends from the inside of the window to the outside of the window to prevent the air conditioner from being pushed into the window. The stopper may be integrally formed with the central component 36 of the support rod 34.

[0029] Figure 5 and Figure 4 The view is similar to that of Figure 5 In the embodiment of the present invention, the telescopically adjustable side members 38 connected to the central member are in an extended position to lengthen the support rod 34. The distal ends of the telescopically adjustable side members 38 may be provided with screw holes so that they can be fixed to the window frame 16 when the user needs them. In addition, a side member fixing member 46 (such as a clamp or clamp screw or the like) may be provided to fix the length of the support rod to a desired length. In addition, an anchor bolt fastener or clamp 48 may be provided to fix the anchor bolt at a desired position along the telescopically adjustable side members 38.

[0030] Figure 6 and Figure 5 The view is similar to that of Figure 6 In the embodiment, a pair of slidable anchor bolts 40 attachable to telescopically adjustable side members are shown in the embodiment of FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The corresponding position of the view in. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting assembly 30 may include a pair of extendable side panels 32 that may have a top connector provided for each side panel adapted to connect the top side of each side panel to a corresponding anchor 40 of the support rod 30 .

[0031] Figures 7a to 7i The following are various exemplary steps that may be performed when installing an air conditioner in a sliding window using the window mounted air conditioner installation assembly (described above). It should be noted that additional steps may be performed or some steps may be omitted depending on the specific installation situation. First, as Figure 7a As shown, the side edges of the side panels 32 can be connected to both sides of the air conditioner. Figure 7b As shown, the telescopically adjustable side members 38 are inserted into the central member 36. In addition, the top sides of the side panels 32 can be connected to the slidable anchor bolts 40 attached to the telescopically adjustable side members 38.

[0032] Then, if Figure 7c As shown, the width of the window frame 16 is measured. Then, the length of the support rod 34 is adjusted to a length exceeding the width of the window frame using the telescopically adjustable side member 38, and the air conditioner 20 is placed on the window sill. Since the length of the support rod 34 exceeds the width of the window frame, there is no danger of the air conditioner attached to the support rod falling out of the window during operation. Figure 7d shown.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 7e As shown, the stopper 42 that can be attached to the support rod will extend to a position outside the sliding sash window 14. Figure 7f In the embodiment, the sliding window 14 is closed, and the stopper is outside the sliding window 14, so that the air conditioner 20 can not be pushed into the room in the window where the air conditioner is located.

[0034] Next, the side panel 32 can be adjusted by moving the slidable anchor bolt 40 to the desired position. Typically, the slidable anchor bolt 40 is moved to a position where the opening on the side of the air conditioner 20 is closed by the side panel 32, such as Figure 7g As shown. The side panels 32 can also be arranged in any desired position by moving the slidable anchor bolts 40. The side panels 32 can also be fixed on their bottom sides. This can be done, for example, by using Figure 7h The clamp 49 shown is used to perform the above.

[0035] like Figure 7i As shown, the sliding sash window 14 can also be locked using a wedge 50. This can be performed, for example, by placing a wedge between a pair of sliding sash windows of the window.

[0036] It should be understood that the features in different embodiments can be used in combination, and unless explicitly stated, any feature in an embodiment is not essential. Therefore, those skilled in the art can select features and dimensions that are considered to be advantageous for a particular implementation.
