[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The hole sealer for air conditioner installation involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a hole sealer for air conditioner installation includes a sealing cylinder 1, which is composed of a first semi-cylinder 11 and a second semi-cylinder 12. The first semi-cylinder 11 and the second semi-cylinder 12 are overlapped together. Two limiting rods 13 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left side of the first semi-cylinder 11, and two limiting slots 14 are symmetrically opened on the right side of the second semi-cylinder 12. The outer wall of the limiting rod 13 is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting slot 14. The inner walls of the first semi-cylinder 11 and the second semi-cylinder 12 are both bonded with protective pads 3 by strong adhesive. The setting of the limiting rods 13 and the limiting slots 14 facilitates the limiting of the first semi-cylinder 11 and the second semi-cylinder 12 and forms the sealing cylinder 1. The material of the protective pads 3 can be silicone. The setting of the protective pads 3 facilitates the protection between the air conditioning pipe and the inner wall of the sealing cylinder 1.

[0022] Two connecting covers 2 are provided at both ends of the outer wall of the closed cylinder 1. The two ends of the outer wall of the closed cylinder 1 are provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the connecting cover 2 is provided with internal threads. The internal threads of the connecting cover 2 are sleeved on the end of the outer wall of the closed cylinder 1. The connecting cover 2 is composed of a first semicircular cover 21 and a second semicircular cover 22. The left side of the first semicircular cover 21 overlaps the right side of the second semicircular cover 22. Two positioning blocks 23 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left side of the first semicircular cover 21. Two positioning grooves 24 are symmetrically opened on the right side of the second semicircular cover 22. The outer wall of the positioning block 23 is inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 24. When the first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22 are spliced, the positioning blocks 23 and the positioning grooves 24 can be used for initial positioning.

[0023] Bolts 4 are provided on both the upper and lower sides between the first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22. The first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22 are fixed together by bolts 4. The setting of bolts 4 makes it easy to assemble the first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22 together to form a connecting cover 2, which is convenient for subsequent use of the connecting cover 2.

[0024] One end of the first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22 are both glued with a sealing gasket 25. The sealing gasket 25 helps to increase the sealing performance when one end of the connecting cover 2 contacts the wall.

[0025] Currently, for wall-mounted air conditioners, the standard hole diameter is around 70mm for 1-1.5 horsepower units, and around 75mm for 2 horsepower units. For floor-standing air conditioners, the standard hole diameter is around 100mm. The hole sealer in this application can be set to different sizes according to the horsepower of the air conditioner to accommodate different air conditioner installation hole diameters.

[0026] Currently, the thickness of the exterior walls of residential buildings is around 24cm. In this application, the length of the closed cylinder 1 is greater than 24cm. Furthermore, since the two connecting covers 2 are threadedly connected to the closed cylinder 1, the position of the two connecting covers 2 can be adjusted spirally, thereby changing the overall length of the hole sealer in this application, which can be adapted to the thickness of most residential building exterior walls.

[0027] In summary, as Figure 1-5 As shown, this hole sealer for air conditioner installation, when in use, after the air conditioner pipe penetrates the hole in the wall, firstly, the protective pads 3 inside the first semi-cylinder 11 and the second semi-cylinder 12 are placed on the outer wall of the pipe. The first semi-cylinder 11 then drives the limiting rod 13 to insert into the limiting slot 14, thereby initially limiting the first semi-cylinder 11 and the second semi-cylinder 12 and forming a sealed cylinder 1. The sealed cylinder 1 is then placed inside the hole for air conditioner installation. Next, the first semi-cylinder cover 21 and the second semi-cylinder cover 22 are placed on the outer wall of the air conditioner pipe, and the positioning block 23 is inserted into the positioning groove 2. 4. Inside, the first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22 are initially positioned. Then, bolts 4 are used to connect the first semicircular cover 21 and the second semicircular cover 22 together to form a connecting cover 2. At this time, the inner screw of the connecting cover 2 is installed at one end of the closed cylinder 1, and the sealing gasket 25 at one end of the connecting cover 2 is moved to one side of the wall. Then, in the same way, the other connecting cover 2 is screwed on at the other end of the closed cylinder 1, and the sealing gasket 25 at one end of the connecting cover 2 overlaps on the other side of the wall, so that the hole and pipe of the air conditioner can be sealed.
