Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air conditioner wall mounting plate and an air conditioner installation component, belonging to the technical field of air conditioner fixed installation accessories. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, wall-mounted air conditioners typically require a wall-mounting panel to be fixed to the wall first, followed by installation from top to bottom. During installation, the back of the air conditioner's bottom frame is inserted into the upper part of the wall-mounting panel, then rotated to interlock with the lower part. This method requires the installer to leave sufficient space before fixing the wall-mounting panel. After installation, there is a significant gap between the air conditioner and the wall or ceiling, making it prone to dust and grease accumulation. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​connection between the lower part of the wall-mounted air conditioner and the lower part of the wall-mounting panel requires precise bending dimensions of the wall-mounting panel and the dimensions of the air conditioner's bottom frame. This can easily lead to the panels not interlocking properly or the air vent at the bottom frame becoming wavy, affecting the overall aesthetics.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN221648731U discloses a metal wall-mounted device for a split wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, including a horizontal plate and two vertical plates respectively connected to both ends of the horizontal plate. A hook is provided at the top of the vertical plate and a snap-fit ​​hole is provided at the bottom of the vertical plate. A support plate is provided on the vertical plate and rotatably connected thereto. A limiting structure for restricting the rotation of the support plate is provided at the junction of the support plate and the vertical plate. Several limiting buckles are also provided on the vertical plate. The support plate can be vertically rotated around the junction with the vertical plate so that its free end moves away from or close to the vertical plate. The limiting structure prevents the support plate from continuing to rotate when it rotates away from the vertical plate to the first limit position. The support plate is naturally kept in the first limit position by its own weight. At this time, the angle between the support plate and the vertical plate is between 45 and 90 degrees, generally around 85 degrees. During installation, the upper back of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is suspended by hooks, and the back is supported at a certain angle by a support plate to facilitate installation. The vertical plate, support plate, and the back of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit form a triangular structure, achieving simple and stable support. After installation, the support plate is flipped upwards to a position against the vertical plate and restrained by limiting buckles. The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is then placed against the wall so that the lower back of its body is assembled and fixed with the snap-fit ​​holes. In one preferred embodiment, the bottom end of the vertical plate is bent forward to form a support portion, and several reinforcing ribs are provided at the junction of the support portion and the vertical plate. The snap-fit ​​holes are located on the support portion and extend to the junction with the vertical plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air conditioner wall mounting plate that makes the installation and fixing of the air conditioner simple and reliable, and facilitates the installation of the air conditioner on the ceiling.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an air conditioner wall-mounted mounting plate, comprising a mounting plate body consisting of a horizontal plate and two vertical plates respectively connected to both ends of the horizontal plate. The back of the mounting plate body is a wall-mounting surface. The mounting plate body is provided with several fixing mounting holes penetrating its front and back. Each vertical plate has a support plate fixedly installed at its lower end, extending forward relative to its front. The support plate is horizontally arranged, and each support plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole. The upper right end face of each vertical plate is fixedly provided with a plug-in plate through a connecting plate. The plug-in plate is located in front of the vertical plate and extends to the right relative to the upper right end face of the vertical plate to which it is connected. The plug-in plate is parallel to the vertical plate. The axis of the snap-fit ​​hole is vertically arranged. The lower surface of each support plate is provided with a guide clearance groove extending in the left-right direction in the area to the right of the snap-fit ​​hole. The right end of the guide clearance groove is connected to the right end face of the support plate. The left end of the guide clearance groove is a first guide structure surface extending in the left-right direction.

[0006] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, a further preferred option is to connect one end of the connecting plate perpendicularly to the vertical plate.

[0007] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, a further preferred option is to use a rectangular snap-fit ​​hole.

[0008] To make the structure simple and reliable, a further preferred embodiment is that the first guide structure surface is composed of a first guide inclined surface and rounded corner surfaces located at both ends of the first guide inclined surface.

[0009] To make the structure simple, reliable, and easy to mass-produce, a further preferred solution is that the vertical plate, support plate, connecting plate, plug-in plate, and horizontal plate are integrally formed sheet metal parts.

[0010] Based on the aforementioned air conditioner wall mounting plate, this utility model also provides an air conditioner installation component. This utility model further includes an air conditioner base frame. The upper part of the air conditioner base frame is provided with slots corresponding to the plug-in plates. The slots are used for horizontal insertion of the plug-in plates in the left-right direction. The upper surface of the lower frame of the air conditioner base frame is fixedly provided with buckle protrusions corresponding to the snap-fit ​​holes. The left end face of the buckle protrusion is a second guide slope. During the process of the air conditioner base frame moving from right to left to form a snap-fit ​​engagement between the plug-in plates and the slots, the buckle protrusions first pass through the guide clearance grooves until the second guide slope contacts the first guide structure surface. At this time, the contact area between the second guide slope and the first guide structure surface can produce elastic deformation, so that the buckle protrusions can move to the area where the snap-fit ​​holes are located and form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0011] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, a further preferred option is that the upper inner wall of the slot and the upper surface of the plug-in plate are in horizontal planar contact.

[0012] To facilitate assembly, a further preferred embodiment is that the slot has a third guide slope on the rear edge, upper edge, and lower edge of the insertion port.

[0013] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, a further preferred option is that the right end face of the buckle protrusion is a vertical plane.

[0014] For ease of assembly, a further preferred embodiment is that at least one of the front and rear end faces of the buckle protrusion is a fourth inclined surface.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In application, the air conditioner wall-mounted mounting plate is first fixed using conventional methods. Then, simply align the slot on the air conditioner's bottom frame with the insertion plate on the wall-mounted mounting plate. Next, move the entire air conditioner horizontally to the left until the buckle protrusion on the bottom frame engages with the locking hole at the bottom of the wall-mounted mounting plate. This simple operation eliminates the need for pre-reserved top installation space, allowing for ceiling-mounted installation and ensuring a clean installation gap between the back of the bottom frame and the wall. The air conditioner is hidden at the edge of the ceiling, resulting in a cleaner visual appearance and avoiding the occupation of wall or floor space, facilitating furniture layout and decorative design. Ceiling-mounted installation increases the airflow distance, preventing cold air from blowing directly onto the user and improving comfort. It also provides rapid and even cooling, reducing energy consumption and more efficiently covering the entire space. Furthermore, ceiling-mounted installation effectively increases the air conditioner's installation height, reducing the impact of floor dust on the unit and decreasing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted beforehand that the directional limitations regarding front, rear, left, and right in this utility model are only for ease of understanding of the technical solution. In the following description, the directional limitations regarding front, rear, left, and right in this utility model are based on the assumption that the air conditioner panel is located at the front, the air conditioner base frame is located at the rear, and the length of the air conditioner corresponds to the left-right direction when the air conditioner is normally installed.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner mounting plate of this utility model includes a mounting plate body composed of a horizontal plate 20 and two vertical plates 10 respectively connected to both ends of the horizontal plate 20. The back of the mounting plate body is the wall-mounting surface. The mounting plate body is provided with several fixing holes penetrating its front and back. Each vertical plate 10 has a support plate 11 fixedly installed at its lower end, extending forward relative to its front. The support plate 11 is horizontally arranged (the horizontal arrangement here should be interpreted broadly, referring to the horizontal arrangement of the support plate body with snap-fit ​​holes 12, without considering other special structural designs such as protruding ribs, flanges, bends, and guide clearance grooves 15). Each support plate 11 has... Each vertical plate 10 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​hole 12. A plug-in plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the upper end of each vertical plate 10 via a connecting plate 13. The plug-in plate 14 is located in front of the vertical plate 10 and extends to the right relative to the right side of the upper end of the vertical plate 10 to which it is connected. The plug-in plate 14 is parallel to the vertical plate 10. The axis of the snap-fit ​​hole 12 is vertically oriented. Each support plate 11 has a guide clearance groove 15 extending in the left-right direction on the lower surface of the area to the right of the snap-fit ​​hole 12. The right end of the guide clearance groove 15 is connected to the right end face of the support plate 11, and the left end of the guide clearance groove 15 forms a first guide structure surface 16 extending in the left-right direction. During installation, the main body of the mounting plate is fixed to the wall using bolts and mounting holes. The mounting holes can be located on the horizontal plate 20, the vertical plate 10, or both. The design should prioritize ease of installation and meeting connection strength requirements. The support plate 11 is typically formed by bending the lower end of the vertical plate 10 forward at a 90° angle. The insertion plate 14 is used to insert into the slot 31 of the air conditioner's bottom frame 30 in the left-right direction; further details can be found in the documentation. Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The guide groove 15 is used to allow the buckle protrusion 32 at the lower end of the air conditioner's bottom frame 30 to pass through during assembly. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 The first guide surface 16 is used to cooperate with the second guide slope 33 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 to guide the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 into the snap-fit ​​hole 12. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The snap-fit ​​hole 12 is used to engage with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 at the lower end of the air conditioner's bottom frame 30, serving as a limiting function. See details in [reference needed]. Figure 12 .

[0033] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, one end of the connecting plate 13 is perpendicularly connected to the vertical plate 10. Since the plug-in plate 14 is parallel to the vertical plate 10, the other end of the connecting plate 13 is also perpendicularly connected to the plug-in plate 14.

[0034] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, the snap-fit ​​hole 12 is preferably a rectangular hole.

[0035] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, the first guide surface 16 consists of a first guide ramp and rounded corner surfaces at both ends of the first guide ramp. It can be understood that one of the rounded corner surfaces at both ends of the first guide ramp is used for a smooth transition connection with the bottom of the guide clearance groove 15, and the other rounded corner surface is used for a smooth transition connection with the right side area of ​​the lower end face of the snap-fit ​​hole 12. This design ensures both a smooth assembly feel and structural strength.

[0036] To ensure a simple and reliable structure that is easy to mass-produce, the vertical plate 10, support plate 11, connecting plate 13, plug-in plate 14, and horizontal plate 20 are integrally formed sheet metal parts. The sheet metal parts can be designed with raised ribs, bends, and flanges to further guarantee structural strength.

[0037] Further reading Figures 5 to 13 Based on the aforementioned air conditioner wall mounting plate, this utility model also provides an air conditioner installation component. This utility model further includes an air conditioner base frame 30. The upper part of the air conditioner base frame 30 is provided with slots 31 corresponding to the plug-in plates 14. The slots 31 are used for the plug-in plates 14 to be inserted horizontally in the left and right direction. Generally, a through slot structure is preferred. The upper surface of the lower frame of the air conditioner base frame 30 is fixedly provided with buckle protrusions 32 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​holes 12. The left end face of the buckle protrusions 32 is a second guide slope 33. During the process of the air conditioner base frame 30 moving from right to left so that the plug-in plates 14 and the slots 31 can form a snap-fit ​​engagement, the buckle protrusions 32 first pass through the guide clearance groove 15 until the second guide slope 33 contacts the first guide structure surface 16. At this time, the contact area where the second guide slope 33 and the first guide structure surface 16 are located can produce elastic deformation, so that the buckle protrusions 32 can move to the area where the snap-fit ​​holes 12 are located and form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the snap-fit ​​holes 12.

[0038] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, the upper inner wall of slot 31 and the upper surface of connector plate 14 are in horizontal planar contact. The upper inner wall of slot 31 is... Figure 8 The first limiting plane 36 shown.

[0039] To facilitate assembly, the rear, upper, and lower edges of the insertion port of slot 31 are provided with third guide slopes 34, as detailed in the reference document. Figure 7 .

[0040] To ensure a simple and reliable structure, the right end face of the buckle protrusion 32 is a vertical plane (i.e., Figure 6 The second limiting plane 37 shown in the diagram. After assembly, it can form a planar contact limiting structure with the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 12, improving structural reliability. The inner wall corresponding to the snap-fit ​​hole 12 is usually also a vertical planar structure.

[0041] For ease of assembly, at least one of the front and rear end faces of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 is a fourth inclined surface 35, as detailed in the reference. Figure 6 and Figure 13 In the preferred embodiment, the front end face of the buckle protrusion 32 is a vertical plane, and the rear end face of the buckle protrusion 32 is a fourth inclined plane 35.
