Abstract

Device for the mimicry of air conditioning condensing units, condensing units of the type that are fixed on a facade or face of a building, characterized in that it is made up of a main element in which three panels participate, a front panel (2) and two side panels (2'), fixed to each other forming a one-piece assembly with a "U" plan, with dimensions slightly larger than the equipment or unit (1) to be mimicked, body that is finished at the top in a grid (6) and that is complemented by a pair of guides (3) or vertical rails that can be installed on the wall, on each side of the equipment to be mimicked, counting the free ends of the side panels with guiding means (3') and complementary blocking, with the particularity that the three panels are covered by a sheet printed in two or three dimensions with the appearance of the facade on which the unit is installed; having provided that both the panels and the sheet that covers them are affected by a matrix of microperforations (8) for ventilation of the equipment.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Air conditioning condensing units mimicry device

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a device for the mimicry of air conditioning condensing units, the purpose of which is therefore to make this type of equipment, normally bulky and unsightly, go unnoticed on the façade or surface on which they are installed, in addition to constituting a covering element that protects said equipment from external agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, the condensing units of air conditioning equipment, when used in urban areas, are usually fixed on the facade of the building, and in the best of cases on terraces, in interior patios, etc.

Obviously, when the condensing unit is fixed, through the corresponding supports, on a facade, the aesthetic impact is deplorable, since on many occasions buildings with large facades are seen dotted with multiple condensing units of air conditioning equipment, which obviously produces a negative visual impact.

Trying to solve this problem, covering devices are known in the form of boxes that are attached to the condenser and that can be decorated externally, so that although this improves the aesthetics of the set, it makes it difficult to ventilate the equipment, which can cause premature deterioration.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The air conditioning condensing unit mimicry device that is used advocates fully satisfactorily solves the problems outlined above based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, the device of the invention is constituted from an element in which three panels participate, a front panel and two side panels, fixed together forming a one-piece assembly and a "U" plan. , which is finished at the top by means of a grid that, in addition to defining a means of ventilation for the equipment, defines a means of manual grip for the device, which is complemented by a pair of guides or vertical rails that will be installed on the wall, at each side of the equipment to be mimicked, so that the main device can be easily inserted through said guides by means of the free ends of their side panels, in which the complementary guiding means will be established, thus providing a means of implantation and disimplantation of the device fast, comfortable and simple.

In this way, the main body of the device will have dimensions slightly larger than those of the equipment to be covered, with the particularity that the three mentioned panels will be covered by a printed sheet (which can be in two dimensions or three dimensions), simulating the texture, shapes and colors of the façade on which the equipment is installed.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it has been foreseen that both the three panels and the external sheet that covers them are affected by a matrix of micro-perforations that further facilitate the ventilation of the equipment, preventing it from overheating.

From this structuring, the following advantages are derived:

• Perfect mimicry of the condensing unit of the air conditioning equipment, significantly improving the aesthetic appearance of the façade of the building in which it is installed.

• Easy implantation and unimplantation when it comes to having to carry out maintenance or any type of manipulation in the condensing unit.

• Ventilated structure on all surfaces, which guarantees the correct operation of the equipment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and with the aim of helping a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of an air conditioning condensing unit installed on a facade, next to which a mimicry device made in accordance with the object of the present invention appears exploded.

Figure 2.- Shows a front elevation view of the façade with the equipment of the invention already implemented.

Figure 3.- Shows an enlarged detail of the grid of the device, which includes some shapes that determine a manual grip handle to facilitate the implantation and removal of the device, in case the unit requires any type of maintenance.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, and especially of figure 1, it can be seen how the device for mimicking air conditioning condensing units (1) is constituted from a body in which three panels participate, a front panel (2) and two side panels (2 '), fixed to each other forming a one-piece unit with a “U” plan, which is finished at the top by a grid (6) based on slats, which allows the unit to be ventilated, the body being open at the bottom to improve said cooling capacity, grid (6) that includes some conformations (7) that determine a manual grip handle that facilitates the installation and removal of the device.

In this sense, and as can be seen in figure 1, the device is complemented by a pair of vertical guides (3) that will be screwed to the façade, open at its upper end (4) and closed at its lower end (5 ) acting as a penetration stop for the complementary guiding means (3 ') provided in correspondence with the free edges of the side panels (2').

In this way, the device can easily slide on the vertical guides (3) until it is blocked and be extracted by pulling its handle formed on its grid (6), all with minimal weight.

In accordance with the essence of the invention, the body formed by the panels (2-2 ') includes a sheet or external coating on which an image is printed in 2D or even 3D that matches the appearance of the facade itself on the one in which the unit (1) is implanted, so that once it is implanted on it, it goes unnoticed, significantly improving the aesthetic appearance of the façade.

Finally, it only remains to point out that, to improve the ventilation / cooling capacity of the device, both the central panel (2) and the side panels (2 '), as well as the printed sheet that covers them, are affected by a microperforation matrix (8 ) that prevent overheating or malfunction of the condensing unit (1).

Claims (2)

1§.- Mimicry device for air conditioning condensing units, condensing units of the type that are fixed on a facade or face of a building, characterized in that it is made up of a main element in which three participate panels, a front panel (2) and two side panels (2 '), fixed to each other forming a one-piece assembly with a “U” plan, with dimensions slightly larger than the equipment or unit (1) to be mimicked, a body that is It ends at the top in a grid (6) and is complemented by a pair of guides (3) or vertical rails that can be installed on the wall, on each side of the equipment to be mimicked, counting the free ends of the side panels with guiding means (3 ') and complementary blocking, with the particularity that the three panels are covered by a sheet printed in two or three dimensions with the appearance of the facade on which the unit is installed; having provided that both the panels and the sheet that covers them are affected by a matrix of microperforations (8) for ventilation of the equipment. 2§.- Mimicry device for air conditioning condensing units, according to claim 1§, characterized in that the grid (6) incorporates certain conformations (7) determining a manual grip handle of the device.
