Saddle Window Air Conditioner Mounting for Controlled Descent
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Saddle-type window air conditioners are prone to sudden falling during the mounting process, causing damage due to the impact between the connecting part and the window.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary mounting device with a base and a bolt system that allows the window air conditioner to slowly descend, featuring a bolt connected to the base and the connecting part, with a screw mechanism and elongated holes for controlled movement, ensuring a stable and secure installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the saddle-type window air conditioner is directly mounted to the window without auxiliary support, then the mounting process is faster, but the connecting part may suddenly fall and cause impact damage
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary mounting device is installed on the connecting part before the air conditioner is mounted to the window. The bolt is preliminarily positioned with its end abutting against the base, creating a controlled descent mechanism in advance that prevents sudden falling during the mounting process.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary mounting device acts as an intermediary between the connecting part and the window. The bolt serves as a mediator that controls the descent of the connecting part, allowing it to slowly move towards the base rather than falling suddenly, thereby preventing impact damage.
2Ease of manufacture
If the connecting part is allowed to fall freely during mounting, then the installation process is simpler, but large impact is generated causing damage to the connecting part and pipelines
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary mounting device provides beforehand cushioning by positioning the bolt to abut against the base before the connecting part descends. This creates a controlled, gradual descent that cushions the impact, preventing damage to the connecting part and internal pipelines while maintaining mounting simplicity.
3Reliability
If a bolt connection system is introduced to control the descent, then the connecting part can slowly descend without impact, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary mounting device is segmented into distinct functional components: the bolt with threading for controlled movement, the base for support, and the connection points on the connecting part. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall structural simplicity and reliability.

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 auxiliary mounting device enables a controlled and slow descent of the window air conditioner, reducing the risk of damage and making the installation process simpler and more stable, while maintaining the air conditioner's inverted U-shaped structure.
Implementation Method 1
one end of the bolt is connected to the base, and the other end of which runs through the connecting part and is screwed with the connecting part

AI summary
An auxiliary mounting device and a mounting and use method for a saddle window air conditioner. The auxiliary mounting device comprises a base and a bolt. The base is located below a connection section of a saddle window air conditioner, and forms a certain distance away from the connection section. One end of the bolt is connected to the base, and the other end of the bolt passes through the connection section and is threadedly connected to the connection section. During mounting, the one end of the bolt and the connection section move towards each other, and the connection section gradually moves towards the direction close to the base, thereby implementing slow descending of the saddle window air conditioner.
