[0073] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner installation plate 100 includes a main plate 10. A clamping member 11 is provided on a surface of the main plate 10. The clamping member 11 and the main plate 10 collectively define a clamping space. The air conditioner installation plate 100 further include a horizontal bubble 20, which is provided in the clamping space and filled with liquid. An air bubble 21 is reserved between the horizontal bubble 20 and the liquid. A transverse direction of the horizontal bubble 20 is parallel to a transverse direction of the main plate 10. Two position indicating lines 22 are marked on a middle of the horizontal bubble 20 at intervals along the transverse direction.
[0074] It should be noted that, the two position indicating lines 22 along the transverse direction of the horizontal bubble 20 includes a left position indicating line 22 and a right position indicating line 22. The air bubble 21 includes a left edge and a right edge, namely, the left edge of the air bubble 21 is adjacent to the left position indicating line 22, and the right edge of the air bubble 21 is adjacent to the right position indicating line 22. The left and right edges of the air bubble 21 are located between the two position indicating lines 22 when the main plate 10 is levelled. The installation accuracy of the main plate 10 is high when the distance from the left edge of the air bubble 21 to the left position indicating line 22 is substantially equal to the distance from the right edge of the air bubble 21 to the right position indicating line 22. The height of the left end of the main plate 10 is higher than the height of the right end of the main plate 10 when the distance from the left edge of the air bubble 21 to the left position indicating line 22 is smaller than the distance from the right edge of the air bubble 21 to the right position indicating line 22. The height of the left end of the main plate 10 is lower than the height of the right end of the main plate 10 when the distance from the right edge of the air bubble 21 to the right position indicating line 22 is smaller than the distance from the left edge of the air bubble 21 to the left position indicating line 22. The installation inclination angle of the main plate 10 has reached the limit when the left edge of the air bubble 21 coincides with the left position indicating line 22, or the right edge of the air bubble 21 coincides with the right position indicating line 22.

[0076] Referring to
[0077] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the clamping member 11 includes a connecting section 111 and a clamping section 112. The connecting section 111 is connected to the surface of the main plate 10, and the clamping section 112 is bent and connected to a lateral side of the connecting section 111 away from the main plate 10. The connecting section 111, the clamping section 112, and the main plate 10 collectively define the clamping space. As shown in
[0078] Further, a guiding section 113 is defined on a lateral side of the clamping section 112 away from the connecting section 111, and a distance between the guiding section 113 and the main plate 10 increases gradually in a direction away from the clamping section 112. The guiding section 113 and the clamping section 112 are integrally formed to enhance the strength of the clamping member 11. The distance between the guiding section 113 and the main plate 10 increases gradually in the direction away from the clamping section 112, so that the horizontal bubble 20 may be conveniently and quickly inserted into the clamping section 112 by passing through the guiding section 113 first when installed, thereby improving the installation efficiency. After being installed into the clamping space, the horizontal bubble 20 is hard to be pulled upwards due to the coordination of the guiding section 113 and the main plate 10, thereby stabilizing the horizontal bubble in the clamping space.
[0079] Optionally, the clamping section 112 has an arc shape, and the arc shape is curved along a direction away from the main plate 10, so that the clamping section 112 not only stably abuts against the horizontal bubble 20 but also has a smoothly transition fit with the horizontal bubble 20 when the clamping section 112 is clamped in the clamping space. The clamping section 112 is defined in the arc shape, so that danger to the installer is avoided during installation. It should be noted that the shape of the clamping member 11 may be selected according to a specific situation by a person skilled in the art, and details are not repeatedly described herein.
[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
[0081] Further, an auxiliary fastening member (not shown) is further defined between the two clamping members 11, and the auxiliary fastening member is connected to the main plate 10 and defines an auxiliary fastening space with the main plate 10. It can be understood that the horizontal bubble 20 may be further fixed on the main plate 10 by the auxiliary fastening space to enhance the stability. For example, the auxiliary fastening member may be a claw clamped on the horizontal bubble 20, and the claw is fixed on the main plate 10 by the screw, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the horizontal bubble 20 after installation. Certainly, the auxiliary fastening member may also be fixed by other means, which is not limited herein.
[0082] Referring to
[0083] Referring to
[0084] Further, the limiting plate 14 is a curved plate or a flat plate or other regular shapes, so that the levelness of the horizontal bubble 20 shall not be affected when the horizontal bubble 20 is abutted against the limiting plate 14, thereby ensuring the leveling accuracy of the measurement.
[0085] Optionally, the limiting plate 14 and the main plate 10 are integrally formed, so that the overall strength of the limiting plate 14 and the main plate 10 is ensured, and the additional installation time is reduced, thereby improving the installation efficiency.
[0086] Optionally, the limiting plate 14 and the main plate 10 are separately formed and may be detachably fixed by a snap connection or a screw connection, so that it is convenient to disassemble the limiting plate 14 when it needs to be repaired and replaced. Moreover, the limiting plate 14 and the main plate 10 are separately produced and packed, so that not only the production is convenient, but also the damage of the limiting plate 14 during transportation may be avoided.
[0087] Referring to
[0088] Referring to
[0089] Alternatively, the horizontal bubble 20 is a transparent glass tube or a transparent plastic tube, so that the positional information of the air bubble 21 in the liquid may be clearly observed.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to
[0091] A transverse direction of the leveling tube A21 is parallel to a transverse direction of the main plate 10, and the connecting portion A22 is respectively fixed in the clamping space defined by the clamping member 11 and the main plate 10. A side surface of the clamping member 11 facing the leveling tube A21 abuts against an end surface of the leveling tube A21 facing the connecting portion A22.
[0092] Optionally, the connecting portion A22 is located in the clamping space, so that the movements of the horizontal bubble 20 in the up-down and front-rear directions are restricted. The side surface of the clamping member 11 facing the leveling tube A21 abuts against the end surface of the leveling tube A21 facing the connecting portion A22, so that the movement of the leveling tube A21 in the left-right direction is restricted, so that the horizontal bubble 20 shall not move in the up-down, front-rear, and left-right directions when moving the air conditioner installation plate 100, so that the leveling accuracy shall not be affected. The axes of the two connecting portions A22 may be coincident along the direction of the leveling tube A21, so that it is convenient to install the air conditioner installation plate 100 and the test accuracy is ensured when the two connecting portions A22 are fixed in the clamping space. In addition, the clamping member 11 may be an integral structure with two lugs connected thereto, and the connecting portions A22 at two ends of the leveling tube A21 are respectively fixed to the main plate 10 through the two lugs, or, two lugs may be independently defined on the main plate 10, so as to independently fix the connecting portions A22 at two ends of the leveling tube A21 to the main plate 10. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make a selection according to the actual situation, and details are not described herein again.
[0093] Therefore, the horizontal bubble 20 is fixed by defining the clamping member 11 on the main plate 10 of the air conditioner installation plate 100. The horizontal bubble 20 includes the leveling tube A21 and the connecting portion A22 protruding from two ends of the leveling tube A21 in the transverse direction. The leveling tube A21 contains liquid and the air bubble 21, and the transverse direction of the leveling tube A21 is parallel to the transverse direction of the main plate 10; the connecting portion A22 is clamped in the clamping space, and the leveling tube A21 is exposed to the environment, so that the position of the air bubble 21 in the leveling tube A21 may be easily observed by the installer, so as to determine whether an angle between the transverse direction of the main plate 10 and the horizontal line is satisfied with an installation accuracy of the air conditioner installation plate 100 in a horizontal direction, thereby simplifying the installation process and ensuring the installation accuracy, and improving the overall working efficiency of the installation of the air conditioner. Moreover, the connecting portion A22 is fixed by the clamping space defined by the clamping member 11 and the main plate 10, so that the movements of the horizontal bubble 20 on the main plate 10 in the up-down and front-rear directions are restricted by the clamping space. The side surface of the clamping member 11 facing the leveling tube A21 abuts against the end surface of the leveling tube A21 facing the connecting portion A22, so that the movement of the horizontal bubble 20 on the main plate 10 in the left-right direction is restricted, thereby ensuring the overall stability of horizontal bubble 20 installed on main plate 10, and improving the accuracy of measurement.
[0094] Further, referring to
[0095] Optionally, the connecting portion A22 is tubular and communicated with the leveling tube A21; namely, the connecting portion A22 may be an elongated structure such as a tubular structure, so that it is uniformly stressed and the leveling accuracy of the horizontal bubble 20 is ensured. The connecting portion A22 may further be a hollow structure to be communicated with the leveling tube A21, so as to accommodate more liquid.
[0096] Optionally, referring to
[0097] Optionally, the leveling tube A21 is a transparent glass tube or a transparent plastic tube. Namely, the leveling tube A21 is made of transparent glass material or a transparent plastic material, so that the position of the air bubble 21 in the liquid may be clearly observed.
[0098] Optionally, the connecting portion A22 is a solid structure. The connecting portion A22 may also be a solid structure, so that it may have a large hardness, thereby ensuring the stability during installation.
[0099] Optionally, the leveling tube A21 and the connecting portion A22 are integrally formed, which not only improves the strength of the overall structure, but also ensures the stability of the horizontal bubble 20 when installed, and reduces the additional installation time and improves the efficiency of the overall installation.
[0100] Optionally, referring to
[0101] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to
[0102] A transverse direction of the leveling tube A21 is parallel to a transverse direction of the main plate 10, and the leveling tube A21 is fixed in the clamping space. A side surface of the clamping member 11 facing the abutting block A23 is abutted against an end surface of the abutting block A23 facing the leveling tube A21.
[0103] It should be noted that the abutting block A23 may also be a solid structure, so that it may have a large hardness, or the abutting block A23 may further be a hollow structure to be communicated with the leveling tube A21, so as to accommodate more liquid. When the side surface of the clamping member 11 facing the abutting block A23 is abutted against the end surface of the abutting block A23 facing the leveling tube A21, the movement of the horizontal bubble 20 in the left-right direction is restricted by the clamping member 11. An auxiliary limiting member is independently defined on the main plate 10 at two opposite ends of the two abutting blocks A23 if the two abutting blocks A23 are not abutted against the clamping member 11, so as to restrict the movement of the horizontal bubble 20 in the left-right direction, so that the horizontal bubble 20 shall not move in the left-right direction when moving the air conditioner installation plate 100, so that the leveling accuracy shall not be affected.
[0104] Therefore, the horizontal bubble 20 is fixed by the clamping member 11 defined on the main plate 10 of the air conditioner installation plate 100. The horizontal bubble 20 includes the leveling tube A21 and the abutting block A23 defined on two ends of the leveling tube A21 in the transverse direction. The leveling tube A21 contains liquid and the air bubble 21, and the transverse direction of the leveling tube A21 is parallel to the transverse direction of the main plate 10; the leveling tube A21 is fixed by the clamping space defined by the clamping member 11 and the main plate 10, so that the horizontal bubble 20 is adjusted and moved together with the main plate 10 as a whole during installation, and the position of the air bubble 21 in the leveling tube A21 may be easily observed by the installer, so as to determine whether an angle between the transverse direction of the main plate 10 and the horizontal line is satisfied with an installation accuracy of the air conditioner installation plate 100 in a horizontal direction, thereby simplifying the installation process and ensuring the installation accuracy, and improving the overall working efficiency of the installation of the air conditioner. Moreover, the connecting portion A22 is fixed by the clamping space defined by the clamping member 11 and the main plate 10, so that the movements of the horizontal bubble 20 on the main plate 10 in the up-down and front-rear directions are restricted by the clamping space. The side surface of the clamping member 11 facing the abutting block A23 is abutted against the end surface of the abutting block A23 facing the leveling tube A21, so that the movement of the horizontal bubble 20 on the main plate 10 in the left-right direction is restricted, thereby ensuring the stability of horizontal bubble 20 installed on main plate 10, and the accuracy of measurement.
[0105] Further, referring to
[0106] Optionally, referring to
[0107] Optionally, the leveling tube A21 is a transparent glass tube or a transparent plastic tube. Namely, the leveling tube A21 is made of transparent glass material or a transparent plastic material, so that the position of the air bubble 21 in the liquid may be clearly observed.
[0108] Optionally, referring to
[0109] Optionally, the leveling tube A21 and the abutting block A23 are integrally formed, which not only improves the strength of the overall structure, but also ensures the stability of the horizontal bubble 20 when installed, and reduces the additional installation time and improves the efficiency of the overall installation.
[0110] The present disclosure further provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit of an air conditioner. The indoor unit of the air conditioner is mountable to the air conditioner installation plate 100, and the structure of which may refer to the above embodiments. Since the air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.
[0111] The above is only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and thus does not limit the scope of the present disclosure, and the equivalent structural transformation made by the content of the specification and the drawings of the present disclosure, or directly/indirectly applied to other related technical fields are all included in the patent protection scope of the present disclosure.
