Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building technology for air conditioning outdoor units, and specifically relates to an air conditioning unit structure applied to balconies. Background Technology
[0002] In existing building designs, split-type air conditioners are typically installed in two ways: one is by hanging them directly on the exterior wall of the building, and the other is by setting up an air conditioner unit enclosed by three walls and external louvers. However, these two traditional installation methods have significant technical defects and safety hazards.
[0003] When inspecting or replacing existing air conditioning units, maintenance personnel must climb to the exterior of the building to perform high-altitude work. Due to the lack of effective safety measures, there is a high risk of personnel loss of balance or equipment slippage during the operation, threatening not only the lives of maintenance personnel but also the potential for the outdoor unit to fall, posing a serious threat to pedestrians and property on the ground. The louvered structure of traditional unit locations requires frequent disassembly for maintenance, and after long-term use, it is prone to deformation and loosening, further increasing the risk of falling objects. Furthermore, the design of existing air conditioning unit locations does not adequately consider the independence of individual household use. Air conditioning units for adjacent users are typically arranged horizontally side-by-side, resulting in low space utilization and mutual interference in heat dissipation. How to improve the safety of air conditioning maintenance locations and increase space utilization has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner unit structure for balconies, which solves the safety and space utilization problems in the prior art by using a layered design of the air conditioner unit, an inner inspection door, and a partition wall.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] An air conditioner unit structure for use on a balcony includes: an air conditioner unit concrete slab, a ground floor partition wall, a mezzanine partition wall, a unit enclosure wall, an intermediate mezzanine concrete slab, a maintenance door for user 1's unit, a maintenance door for user 2's unit, and rainproof louvers; the air conditioner units for user 1 and user 2 are vertically aligned.
[0007] Furthermore, both the maintenance door for user 1 and the maintenance door for user 2 are installed on the enclosure wall of the unit near the interior wall and open outwards. The fixed ends of the doors are respectively close to the ground floor partition wall and the mezzanine partition wall.
[0008] Furthermore, the air conditioner unit of User 1 is at the same elevation H as the concrete floor slab of the balcony, while the air conditioner unit of User 2 is located at an elevation H+1.5M in the mezzanine.
[0009] Furthermore, the intermediate interlayer concrete slab is set at an elevation of H+1.5M, forming a load-bearing structural platform for the air conditioning unit of user 2.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom partition wall of User 1 starts at elevation H, extends vertically upward and terminates at the lower edge of the intermediate interlayer concrete slab, and is set on the side of User 2. Its exterior facade is set on the same plane as the enclosure wall of the machine location on the side of User 2.
[0011] Furthermore, the mezzanine partition wall of user 2 starts at elevation H+1.5M, extends vertically upward to the top of the structure, and is set on the side of user 1. Its exterior facade is set on the same plane as the enclosure wall of the machine location on the side of user 1.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are:
[0013] This utility model features a staggered vertical design for the air conditioner units of User 1 and User 2, with an outward-opening access door near the interior wall. This allows maintenance personnel to safely move the air conditioning equipment directly from the interior without removing the exterior wall's rainproof louvers. The access door's location away from exposed areas significantly reduces the risk of the air conditioner or personnel falling during maintenance due to slippage. An intermediate concrete slab divides the space into upper and lower levels, ensuring that the air conditioner units of User 1 and User 2 do not interfere with each other vertically. This design fully utilizes the balcony's three-dimensional space and is suitable for compact balcony designs in various building types.
[0014] The integrated design of the rainproof louvers and the unit enclosure wall avoids the problems of exterior wall damage or repair difficulties caused by the frequent removal of louvers in traditional air conditioning unit locations. The staggered arrangement of the partition wall and the intermediate concrete slab allows the air conditioning unit structure to be hidden inside the building, with only a flat enclosure wall and louvers on the exterior facade, ensuring both a clean and beautiful facade and maintaining the integrity of the exterior wall.

[0016] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Model illustration Figure 1 ;
[0017] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Model illustration Figure 2 ;
[0018] The numbers in the diagram are as follows: 1. Rainproof louvers; 2. Concrete slab for air conditioner unit; 3. Enclosure wall for unit unit; 4. Ground floor partition wall; 5. Inspection door for unit unit 1 for user; 6. Inspection door for unit unit 2 for user; 7. Partition wall for mezzanine unit; 8. Intermediate mezzanine concrete slab. Detailed Implementation
[0019] This utility model provides a staggered air conditioner unit location for preventing falls on balconies. Its structure and components include: rainproof louvers 1, air conditioner unit concrete slab 2, unit location enclosure wall 3, ground floor partition wall 4, user 1 unit location inspection door 5, user 2 unit location inspection door 6, mezzanine partition wall 7, and intermediate mezzanine concrete slab 8.
[0020] User 1's air conditioner unit is at the same elevation H as the concrete floor slab of the balcony, while User 2's air conditioner unit is located in a mezzanine at elevation H+1.5M. A horizontal concrete slab 8 is positioned at elevation H+1.5M, serving as the load-bearing platform for User 2's air conditioner unit. Through this vertical layered design, the air conditioner units for User 1 and User 2 are completely independent in space.
[0021] The ground floor partition wall 4 for User 1 starts at elevation H, extends vertically upwards, and terminates at the lower edge of the intermediate mezzanine concrete slab 8. It is entirely located on the User 2 side, and its exterior facade is coplanar with the machine space enclosure wall 3 on the User 2 side. The mezzanine partition wall 7 for User 2 starts at elevation H+1.5M, extends vertically upwards to the top of the structure, and is entirely located on the User 1 side. Its exterior facade is coplanar with the machine space enclosure wall 3 on the User 1 side. This staggered coplanar design of the partition walls achieves both physical separation between users and ensures the flatness and aesthetics of the building facade. The machine space access doors 5 for User 1 and 6 for User 2 are both located on the machine space enclosure wall 3 closest to the interior wall and feature an outward-opening design. The fixed ends of the access doors are located near the ground floor partition wall 4 and the mezzanine partition wall 7, respectively, with the opening direction facing inwards. This design allows maintenance personnel to move air conditioning equipment directly from the interior through the access door without having to climb to the outside of the building. Furthermore, the access door is far from any open area, effectively preventing the risk of the air conditioner or personnel falling due to slipping. Rainproof louvers 1 are fixedly installed on the outside of the unit enclosure wall 3, forming an integrated structure with the enclosure wall.
[0022] This utility model uses various wall sections and inspection doors to form an integrated anti-fall staggered air conditioner unit location, which not only ensures the aesthetics and integrity of the building's exterior facade, but also prevents safety accidents caused by air conditioners or people falling, thus improving safety.
[0023] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments to the specific structural dimensions, material selection, etc., according to actual needs, and such adjustments all fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
