Method For The Precisely Fitting Positioning Of An Inner Boiler In The Outer Boiler Of An Air-Conditioning Cabinet And Air-Conditioning Cabinet

Abstract

An air-conditioning cabinet can have an outer boiler, an inner chamber with an inner chamber height, a cover, a bottom where the cover and bottom are separated by a distance that defines the inner chamber height, an inner boiler having a foot movably coupled to the inner boiler, where the inner boiler is arranged in the outer boiler, where the inner boiler height is less than the inner chamber height and where the foot is movably coupled to the inner boiler in such a manner that the inner boiler height is variable. Also, moving a position of the foot on the inner boiler can arrange the inner boiler such that the inner boiler is supported on the cover of the outer boiler and the foot is supported on the bottom of the outer boiler, and the foot can be fixed in the position.

Claims

1. A method for positioning an inner boiler in an air-conditioning cabinet, comprising: providing an outer boiler with a cover and a bottom located opposite the cover; providing a component of an inner boiler; and positioning the component of the inner boiler between the cover and the bottom of the outer boiler; wherein the component of the inner boiler has a component height less than a height of an inner chamber of the outer boiler, which component height is a distance between the cover and the bottom of the outer boiler, and on which component a foot is movably arranged in such a manner that the component height, which includes the foot movably arranged on the component, is variable; wherein a precisely fitting positioning is brought about by changing a position of the foot in the component of the inner boiler and arranged in the outer boiler, in which the component of the inner boiler is supported on the cover of the outer boiler and the foot is supported on the bottom of the outer boiler; and wherein the foot is fixed in a position in which it brings about the precisely fitting positioning.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the precisely fitting positioning takes place by shifting the position of the foot in a plane parallel to the bottom of the outer boiler.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the shifting of the position of the foot takes place in a direction parallel to the component of the inner boiler on which component the foot is arranged.

4. A method, comprising: providing an outer boiler of an air-conditioning cabinet, wherein the outer boiler includes an outer boiler cover and an outer boiler bottom located opposite the outer boiler cover, and wherein the outer boiler cover and the outer boiler bottom provide an internal chamber between the outer boiler cover and the outer boiler having an internal chamber height; providing an inner boiler component with a movable foot, wherein an inner boiler component height without the movable foot is less than the internal chamber height and the inner boiler component height with the foot is variable dependent on a positioning of the foot; and inserting the inner boiler component in the internal chamber; moving the movable foot such that the inner boiler component is supported on the outer boiler cover and the movable foot is supported on the outer boiler bottom, and fixing the movable foot to the inner boiler component.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein moving the movable foot such that the inner boiler component is supported on the outer boiler cover and the movable foot is supported on the outer boiler bottom simultaneously comprises: moving the movable foot in a plane parallel to the outer boiler bottom; and moving the movable foot in a direction parallel to the inner boiler component.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The present application is explained in detail in the following using figures showing an exemplary embodiment. In the figures:

[0026] FIG. 1a: shows an air-conditioning cabinet with open doors,

[0027] FIG. 1b: shows a sectional enlargement from FIG. 1a which shows the positioning of a component of the inner boiler in the outer boiler,

[0028] FIG. 1c: shows an even greater sectional enlargement from FIG. 1a which shows in detail the arrangement of a foot on the inner boiler and which supports the inner boiler,

[0029] FIG. 2a: shows a first view of a foot, and

[0030] FIG. 2b: shows a second view of the foot from FIG. 2a.

[0031] FIG. 1a shows an air-conditioning cabinet 1 with open doors 3 so that the view into the interior of the air-conditioning cabinet is free. It can be recognized that the air-conditioning cabinet 1 comprises an outer boiler 10 in which an inner boiler 2 composed by components 21 is arranged. In this exemplary embodiment of an air-conditioning cabinet 1, shelfs 4 are arranged on the inner boiler 2. The heating and/or cooling device of the air-conditioning cabinet 1 cannot be recognized in the view of FIG. 1a because it is covered by the inner boiler 3 and its components 21.

[0032] FIG. 1b shows a section A of the view into the interior of the air-conditioning cabinet 1, more precisely into its front right, lower corner. A section of the outer boiler 10 and of its bottom line 11 and the transitional area 12 to its right side wall 13 which is, however, largely covered by a component 21 of the inner boiler 2, here the right side wall of the inner boiler 2, can be recognized.

[0033] The component 21 of the inner boiler 2 does not stand directly on the bottom 11 of the outer boiler 10 but rather is supported thereby several feet 30, which directly and necessarily results in that the component 21 of the inner boiler 2 has a lesser height than the height of the inner chamber of the outer boiler 10 given by the distance between the cover, which cannot be recognized in FIG. 1, and the bottom 11 of the outer boiler 10.

[0034] The specific construction of the foot will now be explained in detail using the FIGS. 2a and 2b.

[0035] As can be readily recognized in the FIGS. 2a and 2b, the foot 30 has an approximately U-shaped cross section with a back 31 and two side walls 32, 33 standing vertically to the surface of the back 31 which are secured against bending with reinforcements 34. An oblong hole 35 running obliquely from the upper right to the lower left is arranged in the back 31 of the foot 30.

[0036] If an installed foot 30 is considered in detail in its installed position, which can be gathered especially well referring again to the enlarged view according to the FIG. 1c, it can be recognized that it is movably connected to the component 21 of the inner boiler 2. This is realized in that a bolt 23 which is provided at least in sections with a thread cut on it is welded to a connection section 22 of the side wall forming the component 21 of the inner boiler 2, which bolt is guided in the oblong hole 35 and can be fixed with a fixing means 24 constructed here as a self-securing screw so that the back 31 of the foot 30 rests on the component 21 of the inner boiler 2, more precisely of its connection section 22 and runs substantially parallel to the component 21 of the inner boiler 2.

[0037] If the foot 30 is now pressed on one of its side walls 32, 33, which can serve as surfaces for introducing a shifting force parallel to the bottom 11 of the outer boiler 10 and to the component 21 of the inner boiler 2 in the direction of the rear wall of the air-conditioning cabinet 1, then the bolt 23 moves upward in the obliquely running oblong hole 35 and therefore forces a precisely fitting resting of the component 21 of the inner boiler 2 in the area of the not-shown cover of the outer boiler 10 because the total height of the system of component 21 of the inner boiler 2 with foot 30 arranged on it becomes greater. Therefore, a component 21 of the inner boiler 2, which component can be introduced without problems into the outer boiler 10 on account of its lower height, can be readily prepositioned there and be readily and precisely fit into the outer boiler 10 by the introduction of pressure on the easily accessible side walls 32, 33 of the foot 30 from the access direction, which entails a significant simplification of this step in the manufacturing process.
