Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning construction technology, and specifically relates to an air conditioner indoor unit bracket locator. Background Technology

[0002] Indoor air conditioner units are typically mounted on the wall using brackets. During installation, the wall surface needs to be marked with measurements based on the positions of the expansion bolt holes on the brackets before drilling. While measuring tapes are commonly used for marking, errors can occur, resulting in the brackets not being level after installation. This necessitates readjusting the holes, which is time-consuming and laborious. Since the brackets are generally composed of two plates with several unsuitable pre-drilled holes, an air conditioner indoor unit bracket locator was designed to position the brackets using these pre-drilled holes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner indoor unit mounting bracket positioner.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following measures: an air conditioner indoor unit bracket locator, characterized in that it includes a middle block, on which two slide rails are provided, and a slide rod is slidably provided in each slide rail. An installation plate is fixedly provided at the outer end of each slide rod. The inner wall of each installation plate is provided with two positioning posts corresponding to the circular holes of the bracket. When the outer wall of the bracket contacts the inner surface of the installation plate, the inner wall of the bracket protrudes from the inner wall of the middle block or is flush with the inner wall of the middle block.

[0005] A spirit level is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the intermediate block.

[0006] The two channels are parallel and are rectangular through holes that penetrate the middle block.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the intermediate block has a U-shaped groove communicating with the two channels, and a screw is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove between the two slide rods. The screw is equipped with a nut that simultaneously locks the two slide rods.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of both slide rods and the corresponding nuts are provided with scale lines for measuring length.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning post can be a frustum shape with a smaller outer diameter and a larger inner diameter.

[0010] Furthermore, one of the two positioning posts is fixed to the mounting plate, and the other is slidably disposed on the mounting plate. The two positioning posts are generally arranged vertically, with the fixed post fixed to the lower part of the mounting plate and the other movable post slidably disposed directly above the fixed post. Generally, a T-shaped groove is provided on the mounting plate, and the movable post is slidably disposed within the T-shaped groove via a T-shaped slider. A baffle is fixed to the upper end of the T-shaped groove to prevent the T-shaped slider from dislodging, and the baffle is generally fixed to the mounting plate with bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the intermediate block.

[0012] How to use:

[0013] Adjust the positions of the two mounting plates according to the installation distance between them. Adjust the distance between the movable and fixed columns according to the positions of the pre-drilled holes on the two plates, ensuring the pre-drilled holes on both plates can be inserted into the positioning columns. Tighten the nuts to secure them. Then, use the positioning device to bring the two plates into contact with the wall and simultaneously pass through the level bubble. When the level bubble is horizontal, mark the mounting holes for the expansion bolts on both plates. At this point, all hole positions can be marked simultaneously.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment are: the mounting hole of the bracket can be positioned by means of the reserved holes on the bracket, the structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. Of course, the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit its scope.

[0021] A positioning device for an air conditioner indoor unit bracket 12 is characterized in that it includes a middle block 1, two slide rails 2 are provided on the middle block 1, slide rods 3 are slidably arranged in each slide rail 2, and mounting plates 4 are fixedly arranged at the outer ends of each slide rod 3. The inner wall of each mounting plate 4 is provided with two positioning posts corresponding to the round holes of the bracket 12. When the outer wall of the bracket 12 contacts the inner surface of the mounting plate 4, the inner wall of the bracket 12 protrudes from the inner wall of the middle block 1 or is flush with the inner wall of the middle block 1.

[0022] A level bubble 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the intermediate block 1.

[0023] The two channels are arranged in parallel and pass through the rectangular through-hole of the intermediate block 1. The intermediate block is preferably a rectangular block.

[0024] The outer wall of the intermediate block 1 has a U-shaped groove that communicates with the two channels. A screw 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove between the two slide rods 3. A nut 701 is installed on the screw 7 to lock the two slide rods 3 at the same time.

[0025] Both slide rods 3 and the outer surface corresponding to the nut 701 are provided with scale lines for measuring length.

[0026] The positioning post can be a frustum shape with a smaller outer diameter and a larger inner diameter.

[0027] One of the two positioning posts is fixed to the mounting plate 4, and the other is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 4. The two positioning posts are generally arranged vertically, with the fixed post 8 fixed to the lower part of the mounting plate 4, and the other movable post 9 slidably mounted directly above the fixed post 8. The mounting plate 4 is generally provided with a T-shaped slide groove 11, and the movable post 9 is slidably mounted in the T-shaped slide groove 11 via a T-shaped slider 901. A baffle 10 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the T-shaped slide groove 11 to prevent the T-shaped slider 901 from falling out. The baffle 10 is generally fixed to the mounting plate 4 with bolts.

[0028] A handle 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the middle block 1.

[0029] How to use:

[0030] Adjust the positions of the two mounting plates 4 according to the installation distance of the two plates on the bracket 12. Adjust the distance between the movable column 9 and the fixed column 8 according to the position of the reserved holes on the two plates on the bracket 12, so that the reserved holes on the two plates can be inserted into the positioning column. Tighten the nut 701 to fix it. Then hold the positioning device to make the two plates fit against the wall and simultaneously pass through the level bubble 5. When the level bubble 5 is horizontal, mark the mounting holes of the expansion bolts on the two plates. At this point, the position of all mounting holes can be clearly marked without repeated measurements.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
