Airbag-Assisted Saddle Window AC Mounting for Controlled Descent
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Saddle-type window air conditioners are prone to sudden falls during mounting, causing damage due to the impact between the connecting part and the window, which results in damage to the connecting part and internal components.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary mounting device featuring an airbag system that slowly lowers the air conditioner by deflating, with a base on the window and airbags connected to the connecting part, ensuring a stable and controlled descent, and includes features like multiple airbags for stability and adjustable air holes for varying weights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the saddle-type window air conditioner is moved to the window and descended, then the mounting is completed, but the air conditioner may fall suddenly causing impact damage to the connecting part and window
Solution Approach 1:
An airbag is disposed between the connecting part and the window in advance. When the air conditioner is mounted, the airbag provides cushioning support to prevent sudden falling and impact damage. The airbag acts as a protective measure before the actual mounting is complete, ensuring safety while maintaining mounting efficiency.
2Reliability
If the airbag is used to slowly lower the air conditioner, then the mounting safety is improved, but the airbag may be exposed to the outside affecting appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The airbag is nested within the connecting part structure during the mounting process. After the air conditioner is securely mounted, the airbag can be retracted or concealed within the connecting part, preventing long-term exposure and maintaining aesthetic appearance while having provided its safety function.
3Reliability
If multiple airbags are provided for stable descent, then the mounting safety is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using one large complex airbag system, multiple smaller airbags are provided and distributed between the connecting part and window. Each airbag independently provides support, and together they ensure stable descent. This segmentation approach improves safety through redundancy and distribution while keeping each individual airbag simple in structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The airbag system allows for a controlled, stable descent of the window air conditioner, reducing the risk of damage and facilitating easy mounting and demounting, while maintaining the aesthetic appearance by preventing long-term exposure of the airbag.
Implementation Method 1
the airbag is provided with an air hole, and the air hole is provided with a plug. The connecting part gradually moves in a direction towards the base along with deflation of the airbag.

AI summary
An auxiliary mounting device and mounting method for a saddle-type window air conditioner. The auxiliary mounting device comprises a base and an airbag; the base is located on a window, an upper end of the airbag is connected to a connecting portion of the saddle-type window air conditioner, a lower end of the airbag is connected to the base), an air hole is provided on the airbag, and a plug is provided at the air hole. When mounting the saddle-type window air conditioner, the airbag is inflated first, and then the saddle-type window air conditioner, together with the base and the airbag, is placed on the window, the base sits on the window, then the airbag is deflated, and the connecting portion gradually descends, along with the deflation of the airbag, in the direction towards the base, thereby enabling the saddle-type window air conditioner to fall slowly. The auxiliary mounting device has a simple structure and is easy to operate.
