Method for mounting air conditioner air outlet structure and air conditioner air outlet installation structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for mounting air conditioner outlet structures are complex, time-consuming, and require multiple workers, making them unsuitable for emergency engineering projects and prone to reliability issues due to the need for precise alignment and multiple steps.
Innovation Solution
A method that determines the supporting strength of a mounting base and adjusts the mounting strategy to ensure the air outlet structure is adequately supported by either the mounting base or the indoor unit, using a fixing member with adjustable oblong holes to secure the air outlet structure, and a hanging assembly to facilitate easy installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the traditional ten-step mounting method is used to ensure reliable attachment of the air outlet structure, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the mounting time and process complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mounting process into two main stages: (1) mounting the air outlet structure on the indoor unit, and (2) mounting the indoor unit on the mounting base. This segmentation eliminates the need for the traditional ten-step process while maintaining reliability through the dual-support mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple functions into the air outlet structure itself, which serves as both the air outlet component and the mounting component. The lateral surfaces of the air outlet structure directly contact and are supported by the mounting base, merging the air outlet function and mounting function into a single integrated structure.
2Manufacturing precision
If the traditional ten-step mounting method with multiple workers is used to ensure proper alignment and attachment, then the mounting precision is improved, but the device complexity and coordination requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The air outlet structure is designed with self-aligning features where the lateral surfaces automatically contact and align with the mounting base during installation. The structure itself provides the alignment references, eliminating the need for multiple workers to coordinate alignment while maintaining mounting precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The air outlet structure is pre-assembled on the indoor unit with predetermined positioning features before being mounted on the mounting base. This preliminary assembly ensures proper alignment is built into the structure itself, reducing the complexity of on-site alignment operations.
3Reliability
If the traditional mounting method requiring multiple steps and workers is used to ensure proper installation, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the adaptability to emergency engineering projects decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mounting system into modular components (air outlet structure, indoor unit, mounting base) that can be independently prepared and then quickly assembled. This modularity enables rapid deployment in emergency engineering projects while maintaining reliable attachment through the designed support mechanisms.
