Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner railing technology, and in particular to an air conditioner railing that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner railings are protective structures installed around the outdoor unit of an air conditioner to protect the unit's safety, ensure proper installation, and also provide a certain level of aesthetics and ventilation.

[0003] Traditional air conditioner railings are mostly constructed using on-site welding or bolt splicing, requiring professional technicians to operate (air conditioner railings require on-site cutting of horizontal bars and welding of column base plates, which easily generates open flame risks, and welding deformation can lead to loss of structural precision control), which is time-consuming and limited by site conditions, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid construction. At the same time, under long-term use, the protective performance and safety of the railings are easily affected by external impacts or long-term vibrations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as traditional air conditioner railings which are mostly constructed by on-site welding or bolting, requiring skilled workers (air conditioner railings require on-site cutting of horizontal bars and welding of column base plates, which easily generates open flame risks and welding deformation leads to loss of structural precision control), which are time-consuming and subject to site limitations, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid construction. At the same time, under long-term use, the protective performance and safety of the railings are easily affected by external impacts or long-term vibrations. Therefore, this utility model proposes an easily assembled air conditioner railing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An easily assembled air conditioner railing includes a railing body comprising multiple horizontal bars and multiple vertical posts. The horizontal bars are flat tubes, and the vertical posts are square tubes. Each vertical post has multiple arch openings on one side, the same number as the horizontal bars, into which the horizontal bars are embedded. A base plate is welded to the bottom of each vertical post. Each vertical post has multiple round holes on one side, each round hole containing a self-drilling screw. The vertical posts and horizontal bars are connected by self-drilling screws. A storage mechanism is provided on one side of each vertical post to store the self-drilling screws.

[0007] In one possible design, the placement mechanism includes a placement box and a cover, with one side of the placement box fixedly connected to one side of the column, and the cover mounted on one side of the placement box via a hinge.

[0008] In one possible design, a fixing strap is fixedly provided on the top of one side of the cover, a male buckle is fixedly provided at one end of the fixing strap, and a female buckle is fixedly provided on one side of the placement box, with the male buckle and the female buckle engaging.

[0009] In one possible design, the top of the column is fitted with a rubber plug, which is T-shaped.

[0010] In one possible design, the base plate has through holes at all four corners, and expansion bolts are installed in the through holes to facilitate installation.

[0011] In one possible design, the crossbar and column are made of either aluminum alloy or zinc steel.

[0012] In this application, during assembly, one end of the crossbar is aligned with the archway on the side of multiple uprights. The other end of the crossbar is gently tapped with a rubber mallet to ensure it is fully embedded in the archway. Then, the fixing strap is pulled out from the round hole on the side of the upright to separate the male and female fasteners. The self-drilling screws (i.e., self-drilling self-tapping screws) are removed, and an electric drill is used to screw the self-drilling screws in, penetrating the contact surface between the crossbar and the upright to achieve mechanical fixation. This process is repeated until all crossbars are embedded into their corresponding archways to form an air conditioner railing. Based on the location of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the positions of the through holes in the base plate are marked on the installation surface (such as the balcony floor or wall) using a level and a marker. The main body of the railing is then placed... Place the base plate at the marked position, aligning the through hole with the marked point. Drill holes through the through hole with an electric drill, ensuring the depth exceeds the length of the expansion bolt. Then insert the expansion bolt and tighten it to ensure a secure connection between the base plate and the mounting surface. The storage box can also store the expansion bolts. The crossbars are made of 20×20×1.2 aluminum alloy (zinc steel) flat tubing, and the posts are made of 40×40×2.0 aluminum alloy (zinc steel) square tubing. The base plate of the post is welded to the post, eliminating the need for on-site welding. The crossbars are assembled and fixed on-site without any distance requirements. Flat and square tubing are available nationwide, facilitating construction. The railing maintains the integrity of the crossbars, has an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and is easy to install.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this utility model, the easily assembled air conditioner railing uses an embedded mechanical interlocking structure between the archway on the side of the column and the crossbar. On-site positioning of the crossbar can be completed simply by tapping it with a rubber hammer, which effectively improves efficiency compared to traditional welding. Moreover, no professional welder is required, and ordinary workers can operate it after simple training.

[0015] Self-drilling screws for quick fixing: After the crossbar is inserted into the archway, a self-drilling screw is screwed in by an electric drill to penetrate the contact surface between the crossbar and the column, achieving mechanical fixing, which further improves efficiency compared to traditional bolt splicing (which requires aligning the holes and tightening them one by one).

[0016] The crossbars are made of 20×20×1.2mm aluminum alloy / zinc steel flat tubes, and the uprights are made of 40×40×2.0mm square tubes. Both are national standard specifications and can be quickly sourced nationwide. No secondary processing (such as cutting or drilling) is required on site, avoiding delays in the construction period caused by the purchase of non-standard pipe materials.

[0017] The embedded fit between the archway and the crossbar creates multi-point constraints, enhancing resistance to deformation and improving impact resistance. Attached Figure Description

One side of the placement box 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the column 2 by welding or bolting, ensuring that the placement box 6 is securely installed on the column 2.

[0028] The cover 7 is mounted on one side of the placement box 6 via a hinge. The hinge should be positioned to allow the cover 7 to open and close freely. A fixing strap 11 is fixedly installed on the top side of one side of the cover 7. The fixing strap 11 can be made of plastic or metal, and its length is determined according to the dimensions of the cover 7 and the placement box 6. A male buckle is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing strap 11, and a female buckle is fixedly installed on one side of the placement box 6. The male buckle and the female buckle engage to close and fix the cover 7, preventing the self-drilling screw 10 from falling out of the placement box 6.

[0029] In another embodiment: Reference Figure 1-4 ,

[0030] A rubber plug 3, which is T-shaped, is inserted at the top of the column 2. The upper part of the T-shaped rubber plug 3 has a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the column 2, while the lower part has a diameter that matches the inner diameter of the column 2. During installation, the lower part of the rubber plug 3 is inserted into the top of the column 2, and the rubber plug 3 is securely inserted into the top of the column 2 through an interference fit, thus achieving a sealing effect.

[0031] A base plate 4 is welded to the bottom of the column 2. The base plate 4 is a rectangular flat plate structure, and its dimensions are determined according to the dimensions of the column 2 and the installation requirements to ensure sufficient support area and stability.
