The mounting frame 2 has an adjusting device 14 by which the position of the fixing socket 9 is changed, so that the position of the fixing socket 9 is changed to attach the grille 5 on the mounting frame 2 even when the mounting frame 2 and the grille 5 are positioned with a slippage.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grill mounting device comprising a mounting frame and a grill mounted on the mounting frame.

0002

[Prior art] This type of conventional technology is
There is a grill mounting device described in Japanese Patent No. 2319.

Grill mounting device 5 described in this publication
0 is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

This grill mounting device 50 includes a mounting frame 53 that fits into an opening 52 of an indoor wall 51, and a grill 54 that is mounted to this mounting frame. is provided with a fixture 56 that is attached to this fixture.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned grille mounting device, since the edge 57 of the grille 54 is in contact with the wall 51 around the opening 52, the user cannot attach thick wallpaper 59 to the interior wall 51 at a later date. [See Figure 7], or if the installation frame 53 is installed further back than standard by the construction worker [See Figure 8], the mounting bracket 5 of the grill 54
6 could not be attached to the fixture 55 of the mounting frame 53, and the grille 54 could not be attached to the mounting frame 53 in some cases.

[0006] The present invention provides a grille mounting device that allows the grille to be mounted on the mounting frame even if the positions of the grille and the mounting frame are slightly misaligned.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention includes a mounting frame that fits into an opening in an indoor wall, and a grille that is attached to the mounting frame.
In the grill mounting device, the other side is provided with a fixture to be attached to the fixture, and one of the mounting frame and the grill is provided with an adjustment tool for changing the position of the fixture or the fixture.

[0008]

[Function] In this grill mounting device, one of the mounting frame and the grill is provided with a fixing tool or an adjustment tool for changing the position of the mounting tool, so the position of the grill and mounting frame may be misaligned and fixed. If the position of the tool and the fixture is shifted, the position is adjusted by changing the position of the fixture or the fixture.

[0009]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment, in which 1 is a grill mounting device, which includes a mounting frame 2 to be mounted to an opening 4 formed in an indoor wall 3 such as a wall or a drop ceiling, and this mounting frame. It is equipped with a grill 5 that can be attached to.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an edge of the grille 5 which is applied to the peripheral edge 7 of the opening 4; 9 denotes fixtures attached to both ends of the mounting frame 2; 1;
0 is a fixture that is attached to the grill 5 and to the fixture 9.

Reference numeral 11 designates an air filter that is attached to the back of the grill 5 with a filter fitting 12, and 13 indicates a vertical blade.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an adjustment tool provided on the mounting frame 2, and this adjustment tool is provided with a screw 16 that fits into the thread 15 of the fixture 9.

By changing the screwing amount of the fixture 9, the position of the fixture 9 can be changed by about 10 mm.

[0015] Grill mounting device 1 constructed as described above
In this example, if the mounting frame 2 is installed a distance l from the tip of the indoor wall 3 [see Figure 2], or if the mounting frame 2 is attached to the indoor wall 3 for example by
If the edge 6 of the grill 5 and the mounting frame 2 are separated by a distance l [not shown] when pasting thick wallpaper with a thickness of more than m or more, turn the fixture 9 to protrude from the mounting frame 2 by a distance l, and fix it. Adjust the positional relationship between the tool 9 and the fixture 10.

When the fixture 9 is turned to adjust the positional relationship between the fixture 9 and the fixture 10, the fixture 10 is attached to the fixture 9, and the grill 5 is attached to the mounting frame 2.

Since the adjuster 14 is provided with a screw 16 that fits into the screw thread 15, stepless adjustment is possible, and the position of the fixture 9 can be finely adjusted.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment, in which 1a is a grill mounting device, 2a is a mounting frame, 5a is a grill, 9a is a fixture provided on the mounting frame 2a, and 10a is a mounting provided on the grill 5a. It is a ingredient.

Reference numeral 14a denotes an adjustment tool provided on the grille 5a, and this adjustment tool is provided with a screw 18 that fits into the thread 17 of the fixture 10a.

By changing the screwing amount of the fixture 10a, the position of the fixture 10a can be changed by about 10 mm.

[0021] Grille mounting device 1 constructed as described above
In a, by adjusting the position of the fixture 10a,
Similar to the grille attachment device 1 of the first embodiment, the grille 5a can be attached to the attachment frame 2a even if the attachment frame 2a and the grille 5a are misaligned.

[0022] In the first and second embodiments, an example was shown in which the position of the fixture or attachment can be changed steplessly, but it may be possible to change the position in multiple stages.

Further, in the first and second embodiments, adjustment tools 14, 14 are provided on one of the mounting frames 2, 2a and the grilles 5, 5a.
Although the explanation has been given using an example in which the adjustment tool is provided, the adjustment tool may be provided in both the mounting frame and the grille.

In FIG. 6, 1b is a grill mounting device 1.
This grill mounting device is similar to the grill mounting device 1, but differs from the grill mounting device 1 in that a filter is not attached, so no filter mount is attached, and the vertical blade 13b is pivoted so that the angle of this vertical blade can be changed. This is the point where it can be done.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an air conditioner main body, and a heat exchanger 21 and a blower 22 are housed within this main body.

The blower 22 is composed of a sirocco fan 23 and a fan motor 24.

25 is a duct connecting the main body 20 and the mounting frame 2b, and 26 is a casing.

[0028] The grill mounting devices 1 and 1b are attached to the indoor wall 3.
are installed horizontally side by side.

In the air conditioner configured as described above, even when the distance between the mounting frames 2 and 2b is within about 10 mm from the tip of the indoor wall 3, or when thick wallpaper is pasted on the indoor wall 3, the grills 5 and 5b cannot be removed. can be attached to the mounting frames 2, 2b.

[0030] In the wall-embedded air conditioner, installation of the grill mounting devices 1 and 1b, the duct 25, the main body 20, and the casing 26 requires a lot of effort.

In this air conditioner, even if the grills 5, 5b and the mounting frames 2, 2b are installed so that their positions are slightly shifted, the grills 5, 5b can be mounted on the mounting frames 2, 2b, and the grill mounting device 1 , 1b, there is no need for strict alignment, and the amount of construction work is reduced.

Therefore, if the grill mounting devices 1 and 1b are applied to a wall-mounted air conditioner, only a portion of the heavy construction work can be reduced, and application to the wall-mounted air conditioner is extremely convenient. It is valid.

[0033] Also, in an air conditioner, the grills 5, 5b may vibrate and generate noise during operation, but the grill mounting devices 1, 1b eliminate the position of the grills 5, 5b and the wall 3. Since the grilles 5, 5b can be brought into close contact with the wall 3 by adjusting the grilles in stages, it is also possible to prevent noise called chattering noise.

[0034]

[Effects of the Invention] This invention provides a grille mounting device with a fixing tool or an adjustment tool for changing the position of the mounting tool on one side of the mounting frame and the grille, so that the mounting frame can be mounted further back than standard. Even if the position of the fixing device and the mounting device is shifted due to the installation frame and the grill becoming misaligned due to thick wallpaper being pasted to the interior wall, the position of the fixing device or the mounting device can be changed. can be adjusted to attach the grill to the mounting frame.
