DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0017] [First Example] Fig. 1 is a front view of a suspension frame mechanism of a first embodiment according to the present invention. In Fig. 1, two suspension frames 1 and 2 are attached to a ceiling 100. Each of the suspension frames 1 and 2 suspends a device 3 to be suspended, such as an air conditioner. Each of the suspension frames 1 and 2 is rectangular in plan view, and has a frame structure with three vertical levels.

[0018] A suspension member 5 is provided between the two suspension frames 1 and 2, suspending the suspension frames 1 and 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the suspension member 5 connects the frame members between the middle and bottom stages at the locations where the frame members on the rear side of the page are present.

[0019] Furthermore, in order to maintain the stability of this suspension member 5, it is held from above by rod-shaped holding members 10a fixed to the frame members between the top and middle stages of each suspension frame 1, 2, at the location of the frame member on the rear side of the page, and is supported from the side by rod-shaped holding members 10b fixed to the frame members between the middle and bottom stages, at the location of the frame member on the front side of the page (see Figure 10 described later).

[0020] Hanging members 6, such as hanging bolts, hang down from multiple points on this suspension member 5, and other equipment 4, such as piping, is hung from the bottom end of each of them. In this embodiment, the piping arranged inside the hanging rack 1 is supported by a frame member between the middle and bottom stages as shown in the figure.

[0021] In this embodiment 1, the suspension member 5 is placed at the location where the frame member exists between the middle and bottom stages of the suspension racks 1, 2, and is suspended from there, so the height of the other equipment 4 (piping) suspended from the suspension member 5 is also relatively low, making installation work easier. Furthermore, the length of the suspension member 6 (suspension bolt) can be short, making it earthquake-resistant. Furthermore, the holding member 10a from above makes it resistant to vertical shaking, and the holding member 10b from the side makes it resistant to lateral shaking.

[0022] [Second Example] Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a rotatable connecting part 500 is provided at a predetermined position 5a in the middle of the suspension member 5, for example, at the center position as shown in the figure. In the embodiment of Fig. 2, the suspension member 5 is suspended between the positions where the frame members are present between the top and middle stages. Also, 61 denotes a suspension bolt from the ceiling 100, which suspends the suspension member 5 from the ceiling 100.

[0023] 3 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 2, in which the suspension member 5 is divided into one suspension member 5b1 on the left side of the drawing and the other suspension member 5b2 on the right side, and a connector 5c connects them so as to be rotatable relative to one suspension member 5b1. This will be explained in detail below.

[0024] That is, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, one suspension half member 5b1, the other suspension half member 5b2, and the connector 5c are all frames formed by assembling two frame members with an L-shaped cross section back to back and fixing them together with bolts 5g.

[0025] Furthermore, one suspension half member 5b1 and the other suspension half member 5b2 are disposed so that their horizontal surfaces are on the lower side, and the connector 5c is disposed so that its horizontal surface is on the upper side.

[0026] The left end of the other suspension member 5b2 and the right end of the connector 5c are fixed and connected at their horizontal surfaces by two parallel bolt nuts 5b22. Therefore, the other suspension member 5b2 and the connector 5c do not rotate relative to each other.

[0027] On the other hand, the right end of one of the suspension half members 5b1 and the left end of the connector 5c are connected to be relatively rotatable. That is, an inverted U-shaped bracket 5e1 covers the two vertical surfaces of the suspension half member 5b1 from above, and a U-shaped bracket 5e2 covers the two vertical surfaces of the connector 5c from below, and a bolt 5f penetrates the bottom surface of the upper inverted U-shaped bracket 5e1, penetrates a slit between the two vertical surfaces of the suspension half member 5b1, further penetrates a slit between the two vertical surfaces of the connector 5c, penetrates the bottom surface of the lower U-shaped bracket 5e2, and is screwed with a nut on the underside.

[0028] Therefore, the suspension member 5b1 is horizontally rotatable relative to the connector 5c. Fig. 6 is a plan view showing the rotation of the suspension member 5b1, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view thereof.

[0029] The connecting portion 500 is composed of such a connector 5c, the inverted U-shaped bracket 5e1, the U-shaped bracket 5e2, etc. Furthermore, the connecting portion 500 is not limited to this, and a universal joint structure or the like can also be adopted.

[0030] In this way, in the second embodiment, even if an earthquake or the like occurs and the suspension racks 1 and 2 shake in different directions, the suspension members 5 can rotate at the connecting parts 500, so the distortion can be absorbed and safety is ensured. Incidentally, since the devices suspended from the suspension racks 1 and 2 are different in weight, size, etc., it can be said that they rarely shake in the same direction.

[0031] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, a hanging member 6 also hangs down from the connector 5c. The hanging member 6 is realized by combining a long bolt that passes through a slit between two vertical faces of the connector 5c, a U-shaped bracket, and a bolt and nut. The hanging members 6 in other locations are similarly configured using the U-shaped bracket 5d and the slits of the one suspension member 5b1 and the other suspension member 5b2.

[0032] 3, the portion of the piping of another target device 4, at position 4a corresponding to a predetermined position 5a of the suspension member 5, has a flexible structure. "Corresponding" here means a position substantially below the predetermined position 5a in the vertical direction. As a result, when the suspension member 5b1 rotates due to an earthquake or the like, the corresponding position 4a of the piping also easily deforms accordingly, making it earthquake-resistant.

[0033] The examples in Figures 8 and 9 are modified versions of the examples in Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7, and differ in that a reinforcing member 5h, which has the same structure as the suspension half member 5b1 but is short in length, is attached to the connector 5c almost adjacent to the suspension half member 5b1. Here, 5e3 is an inverted U-shaped bracket attached above and below it, and 5e4 is a U-shaped bracket. The reinforcing member 5h improves the strength between the members on the rotating side.

[0034] FIG. 10 shows an application example in which the above-mentioned one suspension member 5b1, the other suspension member 5b2 and other members are suspended between walls or pillars 11, 11.

[0035] FIG. 11 shows an application example in which the above-mentioned one suspension member 5b1, the other suspension member 5b2 and other members are suspended between steel frames 12, 12.

[0036] [Third Example] FIG. 12 is a front view of a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 13 is a perspective view thereof as seen from the front side, and FIG. 14 is a perspective view thereof as seen from the rear side.

[0037] In this embodiment, unlike the second embodiment, the one suspension member 50 and the other suspension member 51 are separated from each other with a predetermined space S therebetween.

[0038] One end 50a of the one suspension member 50 is connected to one of the suspension frames 1, and one end 51a of the other suspension member 51 is connected to the other suspension frame 2. Furthermore, the two one suspension members 50 and the other suspension members 51 are disposed facing each other.

[0039] Furthermore, the other end 50b of one of the suspension half members 50 and the other end 51b of the other suspension half member 51 are each suspended from the ceiling of a predetermined location 100. That is, the other end 50b is suspended from the ceiling by a suspension support member 7, and the other end 51b is suspended from the ceiling by a suspension support member 8.

[0040] In addition, a plurality of hanging bolts, which are hanging members 6 for suspending a pipe, which is another target device 4, are attached to each of the two hanging members 50 and the other hanging member 51, and the pipe is suspended.

[0041] Furthermore, in the space S between the one suspension member 50 and the other suspension member 51, a pipe suspension support stand 9 is suspended from the ceiling and supports the pipes at its lower end.

[0042] The portion of the piping supported by the piping suspension support stand 9 has a flexible structure.

[0043] The third embodiment has such a structure, and in addition to the advantage of not having to work at height, it has the advantage that the presence of space S makes it possible to smoothly respond to distortions from various directions, such as left and right, up and down, in the event of an earthquake, etc.

[0044] In addition, the piping, which is equipment 4, is resistant to distortion due to its flexible structure.

[0045] Of course, the third embodiment can also be effectively applied to walls, pillars, steel frames, etc. instead of the suspension racks 1 and 2.

[0046] The suspension stand of the present invention can be made of steel or aluminum.

[Industrial Applicability]

[0048] The suspension stand mechanism of the present invention is useful when suspending air conditioning equipment and its piping from the ceiling, as it eliminates the need to work at high altitudes and is more resistant to earthquakes, making it useful when suspending heavy objects such as air conditioning equipment from the ceiling.
