Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a duct for an air conditioner installation and particularly to an adjustable duct for an air conditioner installation.
Description of Related Art
[002] Installation of air conditioning systems in residential and commercial buildings involves challenges stemming from the incompatibility of structural features with technical requirements of air conditioning units. Traditional methods require drilling holes into walls to install inlet and outlet pipes, leading to property damage and reduced aesthetic appeal. The issue becomes significant for tenants, who face recurring costs and potential disputes with landlords when repeatedly installing and uninstalling air conditioning units during relocations.
[003] However, existing methods for air conditioning installations rely on rigid solutions specific to certain system configurations. Many systems lack adaptability, often requiring structural modifications when upgrading or changing air conditioning units. For example, variations in size and tonnage of air conditioning units require different pipe dimensions and orientations, but current solutions fail to accommodate these effectively.
[004] Moreover, innovations in the field often focus on noise suppression or improving airflow within duct systems but do not address the flexibility and reusability needed for seamless integration in modern living spaces. The gap in the market exists for a system meeting the technical demands of air conditioning units while aligning with the practical needs of property preservation and tenant mobility.
[005] Thus, the need for an adaptable, pre-installed duct system that eliminates repetitive drilling, supports multiple air conditioning configurations, and integrates seamlessly with building structures remains evident. Such a system would overcome the limitations of existing solutions by ensuring versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use while maintaining the structural and aesthetic integrity of properties.
[006] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced adjustable duct for an air conditioner installation that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.
SUMMARY
[007] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide an adjustable duct for an air conditioner installation. The system comprising: a body, embedded in a wall, adapted to accommodate an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe of the air conditioner. The body comprising: edges selected from a right edge, a left edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, constructed on a right side, a left side, a top side, and a bottom side of the body respectively, adapted to adhere with the wall. The right edge, the left edge, the top edge, and the bottom edge comprises a right adjuster, a left adjuster, a top adjuster, and a bottom adjuster, respectively. The body further comprising: a receptacle adapted to enable an ingestion of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe of the air conditioner, characterized in that the receptacle comprises arcs connected to the right adjuster, the left adjuster, the top adjuster, and the bottom adjuster, such that the right adjuster, the left adjuster, the top adjuster, and the bottom adjuster comprise springs adapted to apply a force on the arcs to maintain a diameter of the receptacle. The receptacle is expanded by influencing an opposite force on the arcs. The opposite force on the arcs induces compression in the springs, such that the opposite force is influenced by the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe ingested in the receptacle. The body further comprising: a cover, comprising a hole enabling the ingestion of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe to the receptacle, adapted to cover a front opening of the body. The body further comprising: a sealing cap adapted to seal the hole. The sealing cap is replaceable with rings adapted to lock the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe of the air conditioner with the hole of the cover.
[008] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention further provide a method for the installation of an adjustable duct in a wall. The method comprising steps of: embedding a body in the wall; adhering a right edge, a left edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge of the body with the wall; applying a cover to cover a front opening of the body; and lock an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe into a hole of the cover.
