Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner installation equipment technology, and in particular to a magnetic auxiliary tool for installing air conditioner panels. Background Technology

[0002] High-capacity central air conditioning systems are typically installed in the ceilings of commercial venues, factories, or villas in open spaces. The installation position of the air outlet panels for these systems is usually high relative to the indoor floor, and due to the large air delivery requirements, the panels themselves are large and heavy. Currently, the installation of these air outlet panels for high-capacity central air conditioning systems generally requires multiple installers working together. One installer must hold the panel by hand from a high-altitude work platform or ladder and align the mounting holes on the panel with the threaded holes on the main unit casing, while another installer tightens the screws.

[0003] In the installation process of existing technology, the panel is completely suspended in the air, lacking support and guidance, making it difficult to align accurately. The alignment process requires repeated adjustments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, due to the weight of the panel itself, there is a risk that the panel may slip during installation, causing injury or damage to equipment.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an installation aid tool for air conditioner panels that can reduce installation labor costs and improve installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a magnetic auxiliary tool for installing air conditioner panels, which aims to solve the problems of high labor costs, cumbersome installation steps, and slow installation efficiency in the installation process of existing central air conditioner panels.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a magnetic auxiliary tool for installing air conditioner panels, comprising:

[0007] The positioning base includes a connector and a positioning component. The positioning component has an L-shaped structure and there are multiple positioning components. The multiple positioning components are detachably installed along the periphery of the air conditioner body. The multiple positioning components are connected sequentially through the connector. The positioning component is also provided with a first magnetic attraction component. The multiple first magnetic attraction components are arranged along the extension direction of the positioning component.

[0008] A panel clamping component includes a second magnetic component and a connecting arm. The connecting arm is connected to the side of the air conditioner panel near the air conditioner body. A plurality of second magnetic components are arranged along the extension direction of the connecting arm.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting arm includes a clamping part and a guiding part. The guiding part has an L-shaped structure and is configured as a horizontal section and a vertical section. The second magnetic suction member is disposed on the top surface of the horizontal section. The vertical section is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal section and is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal section. The clamping part is disposed on one end of the vertical section away from the horizontal section. The clamping part is connected to the air conditioning panel.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping part is further provided with an adhesive plate, which is disposed on the adjacent clamping surface of the clamping part, and the clamping part is detachably connected to the air conditioning panel through the adhesive plate.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning member is further provided with a positioning post, the guide part is provided with a positioning groove, the positioning groove is provided on the guide part near the air conditioner body, the positioning post is provided on the positioning member facing the air conditioner panel, and the guide part is connected to the positioning member through the cooperation of the positioning groove and the positioning post.

[0025] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model proposes a magnetic auxiliary tool 1000 for installing an air conditioner panel, applied to a central air conditioner including an air conditioner body 2000 and an air conditioner panel 3000. It includes: a positioning base 100, which includes a connector 110 and positioning members 120. The positioning members 120 have an L-shaped structure, and there are multiple positioning members 120. These multiple positioning members 120 are detachably installed along the periphery of the air conditioner body 2000 and are sequentially connected via the connector 110. Each positioning member 120 also has a first magnetic attractor 121, and the multiple first magnetic attractors 121 are arranged along the extending direction of the positioning member 120; and a panel clamping member 200, which includes a second magnetic attractor 210 and a connecting arm 220. The connecting arm 220 is connected to the side of the air conditioner panel 3000 closest to the air conditioner body 2000, and the multiple second magnetic attractors 210 are arranged along the extending direction of the connecting arm 220.

[0026] In this embodiment, the air conditioner body 2000 is a square structure and is rigidly connected to the main structure of the building. Existing high-capacity central air conditioners are usually installed in a high position in the floor space. Existing high-capacity central air conditioners are usually ceiling-mounted. Operators need to use high-altitude work platforms or ladders to work. Moreover, because the air conditioner panel 3000 is heavy and the threaded holes are small and the alignment is complicated, multiple operators need to try repeatedly during the installation process. This not only consumes huge labor costs and reduces installation efficiency, but also poses a risk that the air conditioner panel 3000 may fall or even be damaged. The existing high-capacity central air conditioning unit's air conditioning panel 3000 typically has a cross-shaped main panel and four corner protectors. When the air conditioning panel 3000 needs installation, maintenance, or replacement, first remove the four corner protectors that are clipped into the gaps of the cross-shaped main panel. After removal, the operator removes the air conditioning panel 3000 from the air conditioning unit 2000 through the gaps in the cross-shaped main panel. Then, multiple positioning pieces 120 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the air conditioning unit 2000 using detachable connections, including but not limited to bolts, with the first magnetic suction piece 121 vertically downwards. Finally, the air conditioning unit to be installed... The panel 3000 is fixed by the connector 110 in the panel clamp 200, and the second magnetic member 210 on the panel clamp 200 is adjusted to the side close to the first magnetic member 121. The operator then magnetically connects the air conditioner panel 3000 to the area where the positioning member 120 is located to achieve the pre-fixation of the air conditioner panel 3000. Then the operator fixes the air conditioner panel 3000 to the air conditioner body 2000 with bolts. After the fixing is completed, the panel clamp 200 and the positioning base 100 are taken out from the gap of the cross-shaped panel in sequence. Finally, the four corner protectors are snapped into the gap of the cross-shaped panel to complete the installation.

[0027] It is understandable that the positioning component 120 can be pre-installed on the side wall of the air conditioner body 2000 during production, and the positioning component 120 will remain fixedly connected to the air conditioner body 2000 after the subsequent installation process is completed.

[0028] In one embodiment, the connecting arm 220 includes a clamping part 221 and a guiding part 222. The guiding part 222 has an L-shaped structure and is configured as a horizontal section and a vertical section. The second magnetic member 210 is disposed on the top surface of the horizontal section. The vertical section is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal section and is disposed perpendicular to the horizontal section. The clamping part 221 is disposed on one end of the vertical section away from the horizontal section. The clamping part 221 is connected to the air conditioning panel 3000.

[0029] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft is provided between the clamping part 221 and the guide part 222, allowing the clamping part 221 to rotate relative to the guide part 222, facilitating storage when not in use and reducing storage pressure. During use, the operator unfolds the guide part 222 and the clamping part 221. Multiple clamping parts 221 clamp and fix the corners of the air conditioner panel 3000. The horizontal surface of the guide part 222 is horizontally upward to form a guide surface. The second magnetic suction member 210 on the horizontal surface of the guide part 222 magnetically connects with the first magnetic suction member 121 on the positioning member 120, allowing the air conditioner panel 3000 to be pre-fixed to the air conditioner body 2000 before bolt installation. This avoids the need for multiple operators to fix and tighten bolts during installation, allowing for single-person installation, improving installation efficiency, and reducing labor costs.

[0030] In one embodiment, the clamping part 221 is further provided with an adhesive plate 221A, which is disposed on the adjacent clamping surface of the clamping part 221. The clamping part 221 is detachably connected to the air conditioning panel 3000 through the adhesive plate 221A.

[0031] In this embodiment, the clamping part 221 consists of two plate-shaped structures connected by an elastic member, forming a clamping area between the two plate-shaped structures. Adhesive plates 221A are provided on the adjacent surfaces of the two plate-shaped structures within the clamping area. The two adhesive plates 221A are bonded to the top and bottom surfaces of the air conditioning panel 3000 to enhance the stability of the clamping.

[0032] It is understandable that the adhesive plate 221A is connected to the clamping part 221 by adhesive or bolts, and the operator can disassemble and replace the adhesive plate 221A after repeated use.

[0033] In one embodiment, the positioning member 120 is further provided with a positioning post 122, and the guide portion 222 is provided with a positioning groove 222A. The positioning groove 222A is disposed on the side of the guide portion 222 close to the air conditioner body 2000, and the positioning post 122 is disposed on the side of the positioning member 120 facing the air conditioner panel 3000. The guide portion 222 is connected to the positioning member 120 through the cooperation of the positioning groove 222A and the positioning post 122.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are multiple positioning posts 122, which are respectively disposed at the beginning and end of the positioning member 120. The top end of the guide part 222 is provided with a positioning groove 222A. The inner diameter of the positioning groove 222A is equal to the outer diameter of the positioning post 122. The positioning post 122 can be made of elastic material. The positioning post 122 and the positioning groove 222A are interference-fitted together. The guide part 222 can be connected through the cooperation of the positioning groove 222A and the positioning post 122.

[0035] It is understood that, in another embodiment, the number or position of the positioning pins 122 on the first and last ends of the positioning member 120 are different, forming a foolproof structure, which enables precise positioning when the air conditioning panel 3000 has special directional requirements.

[0036] In one embodiment, the positioning member 120 is further provided with a guide slope 123, which is disposed on one end of the positioning member 120 facing the air conditioning panel 3000, and the normal of the guide slope 123 is oriented toward the central axis of the air conditioning body 2000.

[0037] In this embodiment, the guide ramp 123 is disposed on the side of the positioning member 120 facing the air conditioner body 2000. The angle between the normal of the guide ramp 123 and the axis of the air conditioner body 2000 is 30~60°. This is used to guide the air conditioner panel 3000 to move towards the predetermined installation position when the air conditioner panel 3000 is close to the positioning member 120, thereby avoiding the need for operators to repeatedly adjust the alignment between the air conditioner panel 3000 and the air conditioner body 2000 manually and improving installation efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, the positioning member 120 includes a positioning plate 124 and a rotating shaft. There are multiple positioning plates 124, which are arranged along the circumference of the air conditioner body 2000. The multiple positioning plates 124 are rotatably connected to each other through the rotating shaft.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning plate 124 is a plate-shaped structure with threaded holes or limiting blocks. Multiple positioning plates 124 are attached to the periphery of the air conditioner body 2000 and then fixedly connected by connectors 110. Multiple adjacent positioning plates 124 are connected by a pivot. Multiple positioning plates 124 connected by pivots can be folded, which makes it easy to remove the positioning plates 124 from the gaps in the air conditioner panel 3000 after the air conditioner panel 3000 is installed or to facilitate storage during storage.

[0040] This invention establishes a positioning base along the periphery of the central air conditioning unit by setting multiple positioning components fixed by connectors. The operator then uses panel clamps to quickly position and pre-fix the air conditioning panel to the air conditioning unit connected to the positioning base. The pre-fixed air conditioning panel can be installed and replaced by a single person, reducing the number of people involved in the installation, lowering labor costs, and improving installation efficiency.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
