Air conditioner installation plate and air conditioner
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing installation procedure for air conditioner indoor units is complex and inefficient, requiring multiple adjustments and additional tools, leading to high labor intensity and low installation accuracy.
Innovation Solution
An air conditioner installation plate with a horizontal bubble filled with liquid and position indicating lines, allowing for easy leveling by ensuring the bubble is between the lines, eliminating the need for separate leveling tools and allowing single-person installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a separate level gauge is used to ensure horizontal installation accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The level gauge is merged with the installation plate to form an integrated structure. The horizontal bubble is directly embedded in the installation plate body, eliminating the need for separate leveling tools. This allows the installer to check horizontal alignment directly on the installation plate without additional equipment, thereby improving measurement precision while reducing device complexity and ease of operation.
2Measurement precision
If multiple adjustments are made to level the installation plate, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time and productivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The horizontal bubble is pre-installed and fixed on the installation plate during manufacturing, so that the leveling function is prepared in advance. During installation, the installer can directly observe the bubble position relative to the position indicating lines without needing to set up separate leveling equipment or perform multiple adjustment cycles, thereby achieving accurate leveling in a single operation and improving installation efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If position indicating lines are marked on the horizontal bubble, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Position indicating lines are marked on the horizontal bubble to provide clear visual references for level detection. These lines create distinct visual markers that make it easier for the installer to determine when the bubble is in the correct horizontal position, thereby improving measurement precision while maintaining ease of operation through enhanced visual clarity.
