Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pipe hole positioning device for a separate type air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 5 to 7 show a mounting and piping hole positioning device for a conventional separate type air conditioner indoor unit, 5 is an air conditioner indoor unit, and a wall 4 which is a fixed surface.
It is attached to the mounting plate 2 fixed to the. Indoor unit 5
Is connected to an outdoor unit (not shown) by a connection pipe 6 provided in the indoor unit 5 through a pipe hole 3 provided in the wall 4. Here, the piping hole 3 is the mounting plate 2
The pipe hole positioning device 1 including the engaging portion 1a that engages with the engaging hole 2a and the pipe hole center indicating portion 1b is attached to the mounting plate 2 to determine the center of the hole.

[0003]

However, in the structure described above, there was no problem when the piping hole 3 was opened at the time of installing a new air conditioner, but the piping hole 3 was previously formed at the time of relocation or the like. If it is open, piping hole center indicator 1b
Must be aligned with the center of the piping hole 3 by visual inspection, and the size of the piping hole 3 is usually as large as φ65 to φ70 mm, and it was very difficult to align the position. In many cases, there is no choice but to fix it because the connection pipe 6 does not align well with the pipe hole 3 and installation work becomes difficult, or when the pipe hole 3 shifts downward with respect to the main body 5. Had an aesthetic problem that the piping hole 3 was visible after installation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object thereof is to install a pipe hole position and an air hole when an air conditioner is installed in a place where a pipe hole is previously opened. Accurately locate the position of the indoor unit
It is to provide an air conditioner that facilitates installation work and has an improved appearance.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, as means for solving the above problems, a pipe hole positioning device is provided with a ring portion slightly smaller than the pipe hole, and an arm portion via a hinge in the outer peripheral direction of the ring portion. A plurality of are formed.
By bending the arm part and inserting it into the pipe hole, the position of the installation plate that engages with the pipe hole positioning device is determined, and the installation position of the indoor unit can be confirmed.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a piping hole positioning device in which a plurality of arms are formed via a hinge in the outer peripheral direction of a ring portion slightly smaller than the piping hole. . In this way, with the piping hole positioning device in which the arm part is provided via the hinge in the outer peripheral direction of the ring part, it is possible to easily confirm the position of the main body with respect to the piping hole simply by bending the arm part and inserting it , Which facilitates installation work and improves aesthetics.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a pipe hole positioning device, which is mounted by a mounting plate 2 and an engaging portion 1a. A ring portion 1c, which is slightly smaller than the pipe hole 3, is formed around the pipe hole center indicating portion 1b of the pipe hole positioning device 1, and a plurality of arm portions 1e are formed in the outer peripheral direction thereof via hinges 1d.

In the above structure, the piping hole positioning device 1 is in the normal state as shown in FIG. 2 and the arm portion 1e is bent from the hinge 1d as shown in FIG. 3, and the piping hole 3 is provided as shown in FIG. By inserting the bent arm portion 1e into the, it is possible to accurately confirm the vertical and horizontal positions of the main body with respect to the piping hole 3.

[0010]

As is apparent from the above-described embodiments, the present invention provides a pipe hole positioning device with a ring portion slightly smaller than the pipe hole, and forms a plurality of arm portions via a hinge in the outer peripheral direction of the ring portion. By doing so, it is possible to easily confirm the position of the indoor unit with respect to the piping hole simply by bending the arm and inserting it into the piping hole. As a result, installation work can be facilitated when piping holes are opened in advance, such as when relocating, and aesthetics can be improved.
