In other words, there is the problem that new hoisting holes must be drilled in the steel hoists in order to adjust the position, and new sink parts must be installed and parts for adjusting the position must be attached. In addition, building beams and other equipment may interfere with the equipment stand, so it takes a long time to adjust the position of one heavy air conditioning unit. However, because each steel frame had to be manufactured and installed individually, there was the issue of the time and effort required to create drawings and manufacture the frames.

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0014] [First Example] FIG. 1 is a perspective view looking up from below showing an example of a suspension stand according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] In Figures 1 to 12, 1 is a first frame member, 2 is a second frame member, 3 is other frame members, 4 is air conditioning equipment, 5 is other equipment installed in the suspension frame A, and 6a is a first rod-shaped member.

[0016] The suspension stand A is a stand that suspends the air conditioner 4 and installs it on a ceiling or the like. Here, the suspension stand A in this embodiment is composed of multiple frame members 1, 2, and 3, and the first frame member 1 is a member arranged in the horizontal direction. As will be described later, the second frame member 2 is also a member arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0017] The first frame member 1 has a first slit portion 1a formed vertically along its longitudinal direction. That is, the first frame member 1 is composed of two plates 1b, 1b with an L-shaped cross section arranged opposite to each other, with upper corresponding upper surfaces 1b1, 1b1 arranged horizontally and lower corresponding lower surfaces 1b2, 1b2 arranged vertically, and the above-mentioned first slit portion 1a is formed in the gap between the lower surfaces 1b2, 1b2.

[0018] Furthermore, the first locking mechanism 6 locks the air conditioner 4 to the first frame member 1 so that the air conditioner 4 can slide.

[0019] That is, the first locking mechanism 6 has a first rod-shaped member 6a and a first locking member 6b, the first rod-shaped member 6a penetrates the first slit portion 1a from top to bottom in a state in which it can slide horizontally, and the first locking member 6b is attached to the upper part of the first rod-shaped member 6a and locks the first rod-shaped member 6a so that it does not fall out of the first slit portion 1a.

[0020] Here, the first rod-shaped member 6a is, for example, a long metal rod, and the first locking member 6b is, for example, a nut fixed to the upper part of the first rod-shaped member 6a and having a width larger than that of the first slit portion 1a, etc. This locks the first rod-shaped member 6a so that it does not fall out of the first slit portion 1a.

[0021] The air conditioner 4 is suspended from the lower end of a first rod-shaped member 6a.

[0022] With this configuration, the position of the air conditioner 4 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction by moving the first rod-shaped member 6a along the first slit portion 1a.

[0023] Next, after the predetermined position adjustment is completed, a fixing member 7 is provided so that the first rod-shaped member 6a can be kept firmly in place. That is, the fixing member 7 is composed of a bracket 7a with a U-shaped cross section, a first nut 7b, and a first screw 7c.

[0024] The lower parts of the two first lower surfaces 1b2 of the first frame member 1 are fitted inside the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a, and the first rod-shaped member 6a penetrates the first bottom surface 7a1 of the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a, and the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a is prevented from falling off by a first nut 7b screwed onto the first rod-shaped member 6a on the underside 7a2 of the first bottom surface 7a1.

[0025] Furthermore, of the two first vertical portions 7a4 of the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a, at least one of the first vertical portions 7a4 has a first hole 7a3 drilled therein, and a first screw 7c is screwed into the first hole 7a3 with its tip abutting the first lower side 1b2 of the L-shaped cross-section plate 1b, thereby fixing the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a and the first rod-shaped member 6a to the first lower side 1b2 of the first L-shaped cross-section plate 1b.

[0026] In addition, when only one of the two first vertical surfaces 7a4 of the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a is fixed with the first screw 7c, the other first vertical surface 7a4 that is not fixed with the screw is fixed in a surface contact state to the first lower surface 1b2 of the first L-shaped cross-section plate 1b, so the fixing effect is large. Of course, it is also possible to fix both of the two first vertical surfaces 7a4 from both sides with the first screw 7c.

[0027] In this way, the first rod-shaped member 6a and the suspended air conditioner 4 are firmly fixed in the desired position on the first frame member 1. Since it is stable, it will not shift position even if an earthquake or the like occurs.

[0028] Next, the above-mentioned second frame member 2 will be described. That is, among the multiple frame members, another second frame member 2 is arranged horizontally. As shown in Fig. 1, this second frame member 2 is fixed horizontally to the lower end of another frame member 3. Note that the first frame member 1 is arranged perpendicularly to the lower side of the second frame member 2.

[0029] The second frame member 2 has a second slit portion formed in the vertical direction so as to extend along its longitudinal direction.

[0030] That is, the second frame member 2 is composed of two second cross-section L-shaped plates 2b arranged opposite each other, the corresponding second lower half surfaces 2b2, 2b2 at the lower side are arranged horizontally, and the corresponding second upper half surfaces 2b1, 2b1 at the upper side are arranged vertically, and the second slit portion 2a is formed in the gap between the second upper half surfaces 2b1, 2b1.

[0031] A second rod-shaped member 8a constituting the second locking mechanism 8 penetrates the second slit portion 2a in the vertical direction in a state in which it can slide horizontally (see Figs. 10 and 11). In this first embodiment, two second rod-shaped members 8a penetrate in parallel.

[0032] With this configuration, the second rod-shaped member 8a can slide in the second slit portion 2a, and the position can be freely adjusted.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper parts of the two second upper surfaces 2b1 of the second frame member 2 are fitted inside the bracket 9 having an inverted U-shaped cross section, and the two second rod-shaped members 8a penetrate upward through the second bottom surface 9a of the bracket 9 having an inverted U-shaped cross section, and two locking members 8b, 8b, such as nuts, constituting the second locking mechanism 8 are screwed onto the upper ends of the penetrating second rod-shaped members 8a.

[0034] The second rod-shaped member 8a of the second locking mechanism 8 may be composed of a single screw. That is, the head, which is larger than the gap of the second slit portion 2a, corresponds to the locking member 8b, and the body and threaded portion correspond to the second rod-shaped member 8a.

[0035] Of the two second vertical portions 9b of the inverted U-shaped cross-section bracket 9, a second hole 9c is drilled in at least one of the second vertical portions 9b, and a second screw 10 is screwed into the second hole 9c with its tip abutting the second upper side 2b1 of the second L-shaped cross-section plate 2b, thereby fixing the inverted U-shaped cross-section bracket 9 and the second rod-shaped member 8a to the second upper side 2b1 of the second L-shaped cross-section plate 2b.

[0036] In addition, in the case where the second hole 9c is drilled in only one of the two second vertical surfaces 9b of the inverted U-shaped cross-section bracket 9 and the second screw 10 is screwed into the second hole 9c, the other second vertical surface 9b not fastened with a screw is fixed in surface contact with the second upper surface 2b1 of the second L-shaped cross-section plate 2b, similarly to the case of the first frame member 1, and the fixing effect is large. Of course, the two second vertical surfaces 9b may also be fixed from both sides with the second screw 10.

[0037] Furthermore, the first frame member 1 is held by the lower part of the second rod-shaped member 8a. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower part of the second rod-shaped member 8a penetrates downward through the first upper surface 1b1 of the L-shaped cross-section plate 1b of the first frame member 1 and is fixed by a lower nut 11 screwed onto the lower end of the first frame member 1. In other words, the first frame member 1 is connected to the lower side of the second frame member 2.

[0038] As a result, as described above, the second rod-shaped member 8a can slide horizontally through the second slit portion 2a, and the first frame member 1 fixed to the lower end of the second rod-shaped member 8a can also slide horizontally together therewith.

[0039] In this way, when adjusting the position of the air conditioning equipment 4, the first rod-shaped member 6a is moved to the desired position along the first frame member 1, and further, position adjustment in a direction perpendicular to that direction can be made by moving the first frame member 1 along the second frame member 2, making it possible to adjust the position in all directions.

[0040] 4 to 6, the equipment 5 is mounted on two parallel L-shaped cross-section frames 51, 51 spaced a predetermined distance from each other by using long bolts 51d. The two L-shaped cross-section frames 51, 51 are connected to the first frame members 1, 1 so as to be slidable perpendicularly.

[0041] That is, bolts 51b are attached to each of the horizontal surfaces 51a of the L-shaped cross section frame 51, and the heads of the bolts are designed to prevent them from falling out downward, and the body and threads of the bolts 51b penetrate downward between the above-mentioned first slits 1a of the first frame member 1 so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction. This makes it easy to adjust the position.

[0042] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, a nut 51c is screwed onto the lower end of the bolt 51b, and in preparation for earthquakes, etc., the nut 51c is firmly abutted against the lower edge of the first slit portion 1a, thereby firmly fixing the L-shaped cross-section frames 51, 51 to the first frame member 1.

[0043] In the above-mentioned example of the suspension rack, it is preferable to use both aluminum shaped steel and SS shaped steel as the material of each frame member in Fig. 1. Here, 20 is a frame member made of SS shaped steel, and the remaining frame members are made of aluminum shaped steel.

[0044] This embodiment has the following advantages. Although the aluminum shaped steel specification can reduce weight, aluminum is vulnerable to alkali and may corrode if installed directly on the ceiling slab surface. This is because concrete mortar is highly alkaline and dissolves and corrodes aluminum shaped steel. Therefore, it is desirable to use stainless steel shaped steel for the slab surface and the direct installation area as a corrosion prevention measure.

[0045] [Second Example] Next, Figures 13 to 18 show the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, as shown in Figures 8 and 12, two second rod-shaped members 8a and two second locking members 8b are used in the second locking mechanism 8, and the lower end of each of the second rod-shaped members 8a penetrates downward through the first upper surface 1b1, 1b1 of the L-shaped cross-section plate 1b of the first frame member 1, respectively.

[0046] In contrast, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the second locking mechanism 8 is composed of one second rod-shaped member 8a and one second locking member 8b.

[0047] That is, the second rod-shaped member 8a penetrates downward through approximately the center of the bottom surface 9a of the inverted U-shaped cross-section bracket 9, penetrates the second slit portion 2a, and then penetrates downward between the first slit portions 1a of the first frame member 1, and at the lower edge of the first slit portion 1a, penetrates the third bottom surface 12a of the U-shaped cross-section bracket 12 and is screwed into the lower nut 11.

[0048] Similar to the U-shaped cross-section bracket 7a, this U-shaped cross-section bracket 12 is fixed to the first lower surface 1b2 of the L-shaped cross-section plate of the first frame member 1 by a third screw screwed into a third hole 12c drilled in the third vertical portion 12b.

[0049] In the first embodiment, since the second rod-shaped member 8a penetrates the first upper surfaces 1b1, 1b1 of the L-shaped cross-section plate 1b of the first frame member 1, the first frame member 1 cannot slide in a direction perpendicular to the second frame member 2. However, in the second embodiment, since the second rod-shaped member 8a penetrates downward between the first slit portion 1a, the first frame member 1 can not only slide along the second frame member 2, but can also slide in a direction perpendicular to the second frame member 2, which has the advantage of increasing the options for position adjustment.

[0050] As described above, the first rod-shaped member 6a can be slid along the first frame member 1.

[0051] In each of the above embodiments, the metal fittings for holding the slits are not limited to brackets with a U-shaped cross section, but metal fittings with a U-shaped or L-shaped cross section may also be used.

[0052] In addition, if you just want to prevent the nut from falling out of the slit, you can use a washer that is wider than the slit in combination with the nut.

[0053] Figures 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32 are respectively a front view, right side view, left side view, rear view, plan view, bottom view, view looking up to the left (from the front side), view looking up to the right (from the front side), view looking up to the left (from the rear side), view looking up to the right (from the rear side), view looking down to the left (from the front side), view looking down to the right (from the front side), view looking down from the left (from the rear side), and view looking down to the right (from the rear side).

[0054] Next, FIG. 33 shows an application example in which the position can be adjusted by utilizing the above-mentioned slits.

[0055] Here, the first frame member 1 and the second frame member 2 are connected at an upper position in an orthogonal arrangement with the structure described above. The lower end 6a1 of the first rod-shaped member 6a passes through the slit 14a of the first lower frame member 14 and is locked with a nut or the like as described above. In this way, the first rod-shaped member 6a is slidable in the direction of the slit of the first frame member 1.

[0056] Reference numeral 18 denotes an intermediate frame, which is supported at a midpoint of the first rod-shaped member 6a, and the position of the intermediate frame 18 can also be adjusted in association with the sliding of the first rod-shaped member 6a.

[0057] Furthermore, the end of this first lower frame 14 is slidably connected to the second lower frame 15, which is the fixed frame of this hanging stand A, by the above-mentioned structure 16 (nuts and brackets are not shown). That is, this first lower frame 14 slides in the direction of the slits of the second lower frame 15 and also slides in a direction perpendicular to the second lower frame 15 in response to the first frame member 1 sliding in the direction of the slits of the second frame member 2 and sliding in a direction perpendicular to the second frame member 2.

[0058] In this way, the position of the first lower frame 14 can be easily adjusted and there are various options.

[0059] In the suspension stand A of FIG. 33, the position-adjustable frames are arranged up, down, left, and right as described above, so that the duct 16 and the electrical rack support 17 can also be arranged in various ways as shown in the figure. [Industrial Applicability]

[0060] The suspension stand of the present invention can provide a suspension stand that allows easy position adjustment when suspending an air conditioner or the like, and is therefore useful when suspending a heavy object such as an air conditioner from the ceiling. [Explanation of symbols]
