This air conditioner is made up of indoor set 1 and off-premises station (not shown).Indoor set 1 possesses the casing 4 built with heat exchanger 2 and indoor fan 3 etc.As shown in Figure 1 to 4, casing 4 possesses its front openings opening and closing freely by the front panel 5 supported, the suction inlet 6 being formed in the top surface side of casing 4 in order to suck room air with lattice-shaped and the blow-off outlet 7 in order to the air-conditioning blowout after heat exchange be formed in the front lower of casing 4.The front openings of casing 4 is used to the opening installed in casing 4 by filter 9 described later.The top of front panel 5 is rotatably fixed on the side of casing 4, by by bottom pull-up upward, and can by casing 4 open-front.The inner face of front panel 5 is formed with the abutting part 8 of convex protuberance.This abutting part 8 is formed in the part opposed with the header board 24 of fairlead 19 described later, can abut when front panel 5 closes with header board 24.

As shown in Figure 2, in casing 4, be provided with the indoor heat converter 2 be configured on the position opposed with suction inlet 6 and be used for the indoor fan 3 that sucks room air from suction inlet 6, will be blown out from blow-off outlet 7 by the air after indoor heat converter 2 heat exchange.Indoor heat converter 2 is formed as the shape of falling V, can form the space of roughly triangular shape at its front upper side.From this space to the position of the inner face of the suction inlet 6 along casing 4, be provided with the mobile route A of the U-shaped of the movement for carrying out filter 9.Mobile route A is formed by guide mechanism 10, the both end sides of filter 9 is remained on guide mechanism 10.Be provided with driving mechanism 11 in the inner side of the mobile route A of U-shaped, filter 9 is moved back and forth along the longitudinal direction.In addition, be provided with cleaning agency 12 in the midway of mobile route A, carry out the cleaning of filter 9.

Filter 9 is made up of right filter and left filter, the booty in the air sucked and dust is removed from suction inlet 6.As shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 9, filter 9 is made up of the filter frame 14 in the four directions of filter webs 13 and supporting filter device net 13.Filter frame 14 is made up of the vertical frame 14a of supporting side and the horizontal frame 14b of supporting top and below.

As shown in Fig. 8 and Figure 10, vertical frame 14a is formed as side-looking waveform shape.By being formed as waveform shape, in the inner face side of vertical frame 14a, it is concavo-convex that longitudinally (moving direction) formation can be engaged with the driven gear 32 of driving mechanism 11 described later.By the rotation of driven gear 32, filter 9 can move forward and backward.In addition, by making waveform shape, form groove portion 14d at the exterior side of protuberance 14c, protuberance 14c can not become heavy wall.Thus, filter easily longitudinally bends, so easily turn back filter 9 into U-shaped.

In addition, be formed as making the wall thickness of vertical frame 14a all identical, but as shown in Figure 12 (a), also groove portion 14d relatively shallowly can be formed etc., make the thickness of a part different.In addition, as shown in Figure 12 (b), also can by narrowly formed for 14d width in groove portion be slot-shaped.

As long as the shape being formed in the male and fomale(M&F) of the inner face side of vertical frame 14a can engage just passable with the tooth of driven gear 32, but preferably makes concavo-convex spacing identical with the spacing of the tooth of driven gear 32.Can more effectively prevent from flying tooth.

In addition, be provided with rib 15, be divided into lattice-shaped to make it by filter frame 14.Rib 15 is fixed with filter webs 13, supporting filter device net 13.Warpage and the fluctuation of filter 9 can be prevented.Rib 15 is made up of the vertical rib 15a longitudinally configured and the cross rib 15b transversely configured.Vertical rib 15a is formed as thin-walled, and cross rib 15b is formed than vertical rib 15a heavy wall.By this structure, filter 9 longitudinally easily can bend while the rigidity maintaining transverse direction.In addition, as shown in Figure 8, between cross rib 15b and the vertical frame 14a of filter frame 14, be provided with gap 16, both are discontinuous.By making vertical frame 14a and cross rib 15b discontinuous, vertical frame 14a is subject to the impact of cross rib 15b hardly, so can keep the bendability of the longitudinal direction of filter 9.In addition, as the material of filter frame 14, as long as it is just passable to have flexible material, uses synthetic resin, the rubber such as polypropylene (PP), PETG (PET), soft resin, any of paper can.

On the top of filter 9, to be provided with the filter webs 13 that the air sucked from suction inlet 6 is passed through, and in the bottom of filter 9, replace filter webs 13 and be formed with the 13a of thinner resin-made sheet, filter bottom is the structure that air does not pass through.In addition, the 13a of resin-made sheet is same with vertical rib 15a to be formed thinner thickness, can guarantee longitudinal bendability thus throughout filter 9 entirety.In addition, the form of opening on whole of filter 9 and establishing filter webs 13 can also be made.

The upper end of vertical frame 14a and the prolongation of lower end of filter 9 are attached on the 13a of vertical rib 15a or resin-made sheet respectively.That is, be adjacent to arrange vertical rib 15a in the inner side of the vertical frame 14a of filter 9, the prolongation of upper end and the upper end of vertical rib 15a of vertical frame 14a link.In addition, the prolongation of lower end and the 13a of resin-made sheet that indulge frame 14a link.

As the net materials of filter webs 13, be combined with the filter of structure that coarse filter dust or dust etc. removed and the deodorization filter etc. that is used for being removed by the stink of indoor combine or any one monomer can.

By filter 9 is made above such structure, the entirety of filter 9 becomes soft, can make the bendability to longitudinal direction and flexible good structure.Thus, even if be arranged in the mobile route of U-shaped by filter 9, durability is also good, can prevent distortion or the fracture of filter 9.In addition, easily engage with the driven gear 32 of driving mechanism 11, not easily fly tooth.

On the inner face side that guide mechanism 10 is arranged on the sidewall 17 of casing 4, the two sides of central body 18 that the substantial middle of casing 4 is built bridge along the longitudinal direction and fairlead 19.Guide mechanism 10 is made up of the outside track 22 of the inner orbit 21 of the inner circumferential side of guiding mobile route A and the outer circumferential side of guiding mobile route A.Guide mechanism 10 is formed as U-shaped, with make its position 10a from the suction inlet 6 along casing 4, via linking portion 10b and along front panel 5 position 10c, reach the folded back position 10d rearward turned back from its end.In addition, the position 10c along front panel 5 of guide mechanism 10 be located thereon linking portion 10b swim side and be formed as substantially linear respectively, bend at both boundaries.If between the inner orbit 21 end clips of filter 9 being held in the guide mechanism 10 formed like this and outside track 22, then the movement of filter 9 can be led through to become roughly U-shaped.In addition, the length of mobile route A preferably has when enabling filter 9 downwards side being moved, the end of the upside of filter 9 arrives the length of the position opposed with cleaning agency 12.The end of the upside of filter 9 can be swept into.

In addition, a part for the sidewall 17 of casing 4 and the front end of central body 18 is cut, and the position 10c along front panel 5 in guide mechanism 10 is broken.This cut-out is provided with fairlead 19.Fairlead 19 is arranged on than the front side of cleaning agency 12 by casing 4.The side plate 23 that fairlead 19 is configured abreast by the sidewall 17 or central body 18 with casing 4 and to bend from the front end of side plate 23 and the header board 24 be opposite to before casing 4 is formed.The inner face of this side plate 23 is formed inner orbit 21 and outside track 22, forms the position 10c along front panel 5 of guide mechanism 10.

In addition, the top of the side plate 23 of fairlead 19 is extended rearward, and forms the rotation section 25 be rotatably bearing on the axle of driven gear 32 described later.By this structure, fairlead 19 as shown in Figure 4, can by bottom proximad pull-up (opening rotation) centered by rotation section 25.In addition, the opening rotation and can manually carry out of this rotation section 25, but also can force application mechanism be set so that pull-up upward, in addition, also naturally can be risen by the plane recuperability that will revert to of filter 9.By making fairlead 19 open rotation, by guide mechanism 10 disjunction, mobile route A forwards opening.From this opening, filter 9 can be inserted into mobile route A simply.

In addition, this rotation section 25 be formed in as guide mechanism 10 the position 10c along front panel 5 be located thereon side linking portion 10b border bending part on.The position 10c along front panel 5 of guide mechanism 10 is formed as substantially linear respectively with the linking portion 10b being located thereon side, rotates so fairlead 19 can be made to open and both is configured with linearity.And then, above fairlead 19, be provided with the retainer 20 opening rotation of restriction fairlead 19, with make fairlead 19 open rotation time, be positioned at the moment stopping of linearity at the guide mechanism 10 (the position 10c along front panel 5) be formed on fairlead 19 and the guide mechanism 10 (linking portion 10b) be formed on casing 4.If guide mechanism 10 is configured to linearity, then easily insert filter 9.

In addition, the part opposed with rotation section 25 of fairlead 19 does not form inner orbit 21.If closed by front panel 5, then the abutting part 8 of front panel 5 is connected on the header board 24 of fairlead 19, is rearward pushed by fairlead 19 and closes rotation, and fairlead 19 becomes and closes posture.Now, a part due to the inner orbit 21 of fairlead 19 is not formed and opposed with fairlead 19 and be provided with driven wheel 31, so clamp filter 9 by fairlead 19 and driven wheel 31, the tooth of the concavo-convex and driven wheel 31 of the vertical frame 14a of filter frame 14 can be automatically made to engage.Thus, the installation of the closed of fairlead 19 and driven wheel 31 can just be carried out in linkage by means of only closedown front panel 5, so the installation of filter 9 is simpler.

And then the bottom of the side plate 23 of fairlead 19 is extended rearward, is provided with fastener 26.Outstanding protuberance 27 is formed in the inner face side of fastener 26, chimeric with the stop hole 28 on the wall of the sidewall 17 or central body 18 that are located at casing 4 and engage.Fairlead 19 can be fixed on casing 4.

In casing 4, be provided with the partition wall 29 of the setting area for separating filter 9.Prevent filter 9 from contacting on indoor heat converter 2.In addition, user's contact when being opened wide by front panel 5 by mistake can be prevented.Partition wall 29 is formed as lattice-shaped to carry out the circulation of air.Partition wall 29 forms a part for the outside track 22 of guide mechanism 10.In detail, partition wall 29 forms the outside track 22 of the folded back position 10d of guide mechanism 10.Like this, by partition wall 29 is also used as guide mechanism 10, parts number of packages need not become how just enough.

Driving mechanism 11 is located on the inner side of the inner orbit 21 of the guide mechanism 10 of U-shaped, the position opposed with fairlead 19.Driving mechanism 11 by as drive source motor 30, be attached at motor 30 output shaft on and the driven wheel 31 rotated, to engage with driven wheel 31 and the driven gear 32 rotated and the roller gear 33 that engages with driven wheel 31 and rotate are formed.In addition, the rotating shaft of rubber roller gear 33 is provided with not shown gear, enables roller gear rotate thus.Configure from top according to the order of driven gear 32, driven wheel 31, roller gear 33.Driven gear 32, by engaging with the concavo-convex of filter frame 14, can make filter 9 move forward and backward.In addition, its roller face of roller gear 33 contacts with the filter 9 turned back with U-shaped, is carried out the movement of after-filter 9 by friction.Driving mechanism 11 is owing to being located on the position opposed with fairlead 19, so filter 9 is inserted into after in mobile route A making fairlead 19 open rotation, by operation closed for fairlead 19, the tooth of the concavo-convex and driven gear 32 be formed on filter frame 14 just can be made by means of only carrying out simply to engage.

Cleaning agency 12 is by suction unit 34, suction device 35 and be used for the attraction pipeline 36 of the tubular linked in suction unit 34 and suction device 35 and form.Suction unit 34 is that the top box 37 of roughly U-shaped and nowel 38 are formed by cross sectional shape, under the state making the recess of top box 37 and nowel 38 opposed, transversely builds bridge and be fixed on casing 4 in the front of casing 4.Between top box 37 and nowel 38, have gap, filter 9 can be advanced in the gap.Top box 37 and keep very narrow interval between nowel 38 and filter 9 surface.The left and right both ends open of suction unit 34.

Suction device 35 is by attracting fan (not shown) and cover to attract the attraction lid 39 of the surrounding of fan to form.Have suction port (not shown) and exhaust outlet 40 in the upper shed of attraction lid 39, the opening of this suction port and suction unit 34 is linked by attraction pipeline 36.Exhaust outlet 40 is attached to the pipeline (not shown) be communicated with outdoor.By making attraction fan rotate, producing attraction, the dust of filter 9 can be attracted by suction unit 34.The air attracted is vented to outside by from exhaust outlet 40.

In addition, the interval of the respective sidewall of top box 37 and nowel 38 be set as and the interval of cross rib 15b of filter 9 roughly the same.When the sidewall of top box 37 and nowel 38 overlaps with cross rib 15b, in suction unit 34, become roughly airtight space, so attraction improves.In addition, use the structure of aspiration-type as cleaning agency 12, but also can be the structure of the scraper-type by brush.

According to above structure, when the cleaning of filter 9, by driving mechanism 11, filter 9 is forwards moved.Now, being formed with mobile route A owing to turning back with U-shaped in the front of casing 4 by guide mechanism 10, so along with forwards moving, bending (downstream) guiding rearward of the front end of filter 9.Like this, owing to being provided with the mobile route A making filter 9 movement in casing 4, so filter 9 can not be outstanding outside casing 4.Thus, do not need front panel 5 to open wide when cleaning yet.In addition, because filter 9 is tabulars, so easily only filter 9 is pulled down from casing 4.

In addition, because the filter frame 14 of filter 9 is formed as wavy, so filter frame 14 easily bends, easily turn back as U-shaped.Thus, bending mobile route A can be followed.

And then, because the part of guide mechanism 10 is located on the fairlead 19 rotated freely, so by making fairlead 19 open rotation, by guide mechanism 10 disjunction, mobile route A forwards opening.Filter 9 can be made from this opening dismounting, so easily carry out filter dismounting.

In addition, rotation is opened by making fairlead 19, be formed in the guide mechanism 10 (the position 10c along front panel 5) on fairlead 19 and be formed in guide mechanism 10 (linking portion 10b) on casing 4 with linearity configuration, so filter 9 can be inserted more simply.In addition, due to cleaning agency 12 be located at linearity formed guide mechanism 10 linking portion 10b on, so also easy by filter 9 relative to cleaning agency 12 dismounting.

In addition, when being closed by front panel 5, the abutting part 8 of front panel 5 is connected on the header board 24 of fairlead 19, and fairlead 19 is closed rotation by rearward pushing, and fairlead 19 becomes and closes posture.Now, due to driven wheel 31 opposed with fairlead 19 arrange, so can automatically the tooth of the concavo-convex of filter frame 14 with driven wheel 31 be engaged.Thus, close by means of only by front panel 5, just can carry out the installation of the closed of fairlead 19 and driven wheel 31 in linkage, so the installation of filter 9 is simpler.In addition, rotated by front panel 5 in the present embodiment and be illustrated, but also can move in parallel relative to casing 4.

In addition, be biased make it rotate upward and carry out the opening and closing of front panel 5 and the structure of rotation if fairlead 19 is made, then not by fairlead 19 pull-up or to push etc. and on-off action by means of only front panel just can make filter 9 engage with gear 32.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment certainly, can apply many corrections and change within the scope of the invention to above-mentioned embodiment.Such as, in the above-described embodiment, as air conditioner, being not limited to the structure of the divergence type that indoor set 1 is separated with off-premises station, also can be one-piece type structure.In addition, as conditioner, being not limited to air conditioner, also can be air cleaning machine, ion generating apparatus, dehumidifier, humidifier or fan heater any one.

Industrial applicibility
