PCT International Publication No. W02011/083519 - Unfortunately, as shown in the
aforementioned Patent Literatures - This case may cause insufficient insertion of each pair of the claws, which results in incomplete installation of the air shield member, and may also cause inconveniences such as deformation of the plate fins due to biting the plate fins with the claws, generation of noises, and deterioration of the heat exchanging performance.
- An object of the present invention, which has been made in order to solve problems as described above, is to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner capable of facilitating installation of air shield members at folded or divided portions of an indoor heat exchanger, and capable of enhancing workability in this installation as well as preventing deterioration of performance of the indoor heat exchanger due to deformation or the like of plate fins.
- An indoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention includes: a unit body having an indoor heat exchanger folded or divided into plural heat exchangers, and an indoor fan therein; and air shield members disposed at folded or divided portions of the indoor heat exchanger, wherein each air shield member is detachably installed to the indoor heat exchanger through pairs of claws for holding heat transfer tubes of the indoor heat exchanger, and the claws of each pair are arranged at positions deviating from each other by a multiple of a pitch between two adjacent plate fins of the indoor heat exchanger.
- In this configuration, each pair of the claws disposed to the air shield members is inserted into different pitches of the plate fins deviating from each other by a multiple of the pitch of two adjacent plate fins of the indoor heat exchanger, thereby detachably installing the air shield members to the indoor heat exchanger. Through this configuration, it is possible to prevent such conventional inconveniences that the pair of the claws to be inserted into a same pitch are incorrectly inserted in a next wrong pitch due to their slight positional deviation, which causes incomplete installation of the air shield members, or deformation of the plate fins because of biting the plate fins with the pair of the claws, thereby facilitating installation of the air shield members. In addition, it is possible to prevent deterioration of performance of the indoor heat exchanger.
- In the above indoor unit of an air conditioner, the claws of each pair may be disposed at positions deviating from each other by a single pitch between two adjacent plate fins.
- In this configuration, the claws of each pair may be inserted into different pitches of the plate fins deviating from each other by a single pitch in a predefined manner, thereby preventing such an inconvenience that either one of the claws of the pair is inserted into a next wrong pitch due to their slight positional deviation generated at the time of inserting the pair of the claws. Accordingly, it is possible to facilitate installation of the air shield members, as well as to prevent deterioration of performance of the indoor heat exchanger due to deformation or the like of the plate fins.
- In any one of the above indoor units of an air conditioner, each of the claws may have a thinner thickness at a front end to be inserted into a pitch between two adjacent plate fins than a thickness at a base end thereof.
- This configuration facilitates insertion of each pair of the claws into the respective pitches of the plate fins when the heat transfer tube is held from its both sides with the claws inserted into the respective pitches of the plate fins so as to install the air shield members. Accordingly, the thinner front ends of the claws of each pair can absorb their slight positional deviation generated at the time of inserting the pair of the claws, thereby facilitating insertion of the claws into the respective pitches of the plate fins, resulting in enhancement of workability in installation of the air shield members. It is also possible to prevent deformation or the like of the plate fins as well as deterioration of performance of the indoor heat exchanger due to this deformation.
- In the above indoor unit of an air conditioner, the front end of each claw may have a thickness of approximately 1/2 of a thickness of the pitch between two adjacent plate fins.
- In this configuration, allowance for positional deviation generated at the time of installation of each pair of the claws into the respective pitches of the plate fins can be increased up to approximately 1/2 of the pitch between two adjacent plate fins. Through this configuration, it is possible to further enhance the workability in installation of the air shield members, and also to prevent deformation or the like of the plate fins as well as deterioration of performance of the indoor heat exchanger due to this deformation.
- Each pair of the claws disposed to the air shield members are inserted into pitches of the plate fins deviating from each other by a multiple of the pitch between two adjacent plate fins of the indoor heat exchanger, which allows to detachably install the air shield members to the indoor heat exchanger. Through this configuration, it is possible to prevent such conventional inconveniences that the pair of the claws to be inserted into a same pitch are incorrectly inserted in a next wrong pitch due to their slight positional deviation, which causes incomplete installation of the air shield members, or deformation of the plate fins because of biting the plate fins with the pair of the claws, thereby facilitating installation of the air shield members. In addition, it is possible to prevent deterioration of performance of the indoor heat exchanger.

The plate fin and tube type heat exchanger is usually configured in such a manner thatmultiple plate fins 12 are installed at predetermined pitches between right and left side plates ofheat transfer tubes 11 constituted by hair pin tubes, and thereafter each hair pin tube is expanded in diameter so as to allow theheat transfer tube 11, theplate fin 12, and the side plates to tightly contact to one another, and opening ends of every two adjacent hair pin tubes are connected to each other through aU bent pipe 13, thereby forming a serpentine piping passage; and theU bent pipes 13 and the bent portions of the hair pin tubes or the like outwardly project from the right and left side plates at the end portion of the heat exchanger. - As aforementioned, the
indoor heat exchanger 4 is arranged in an air flow passage in theunit body 2 by folding or dividing theindoor heat exchanger 4 intoplural heat exchangers unit body 2; in addition, anauxiliary heat exchanger 4D is further disposed at the front of theindoor heat exchanger 4B. In this case, gaps are generated at the folded or divided portions of the pluralindoor heat exchangers air shield members - Each of the
air shield members indoor heat exchanger 4.Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show a part of a longitudinal section of the air shield member. Theair shield member 14 has a cross section folded in a chevron shape across theindoor heat exchanger 4A and the auxiliaryindoor heat exchanger 4D so as to cover the front of the folded portion between theindoor heat exchanger air shield member 15 is a tabular air shield member disposed across theindoor heat exchanger 4B and theindoor heat exchanger 4C so as to cover the front of the divided portion between theindoor heat exchanger 4B and theindoor heat exchanger 4C. - As shown in

When the air conditioner is in operation, room air is sucked into theunit body 2 through theindoor fan 5, and is circulated through theindoor heat exchanger 4. During this operation, the room air is heat-exchanged with coolant flowing through theheat transfer tubes 11 of theindoor heat exchanger 4 so as to be cooled and heated, and is allowed to blow into the room, thereby cooling and warming the room air. - When the air being circulated through the
indoor heat exchanger 4 passes through the pluralindoor heat exchangers auxiliary heat exchanger 4D, the air flows through theindoor heat exchangers indoor heat exchanger 4D without bypassing these indoor heat exchangers because of theair shield members - Meanwhile in installation of the
air shield members indoor heat exchanger 4, the pairs of theclaws air shield members plate fins 12 such that theair shield member 14 is installed across theindoor heat exchanger 4A and the auxiliaryindoor heat exchanger 4D, and theair shield member 15 is installed across theindoor heat exchanger 4B and theindoor heat exchanger 4C. Theheat transfer tube 11 is held with each pair of theclaws claws heat transfer tube 11, thereby detachably installing theair shield members indoor heat exchanger 4. - In this case, the
claws air shield members adjacent plate fins 12 of theindoor heat exchanger 4. Theclaws air shield members plate fins 12 deviating from each other by a multiple of the pitch P of twoadjacent plate fins 12 of theindoor heat exchanger 4, thereby detachably installing theair shield members indoor heat exchanger 4. - Accordingly, it is possible to prevent such conventional inconveniences that the pair of the
claws air shield members plate fins 12 because of biting theplate fins 12 with the pair of theclaws air shield members indoor heat exchanger 4 due to deformation or the like of theplate fins 12. - In the present embodiment, the
claws adjacent plate fins 12 so that theclaws plate fins 12 deviating from each other by a single pitch P, thereby preventing such an inconvenience that either one of theclaws claws air shield members indoor heat exchanger 4 due to deformation or the like of theplate fins 12. - Furthermore, each pair of the
claws claws plate fins 12 when theheat transfer tube 11 is held from its both sides with each pair of theclaws plate fins 12 so as to install theair shield members claws claws claws plate fins 12, resulting in enhancement of workability in installation of theair shield members plate fins 12 as well as deterioration of performance of theindoor heat exchanger 4 due to this deformation. - Each pair of the
claws adjacent plate fins 12. Hence, allowance for positional deviation generated at the time of installation of each pair of theclaws plate fins 12 can be increased up to approximately 1/2 of the pitch P between twoadjacent plate fins 12. Through this configuration, it is possible to further enhance the workability in installation of theair shield members plate fins 12 as well as deterioration of performance of theindoor heat exchanger 4 due to this deformation. - The present invention is not limited to the invention according to the aforementioned embodiment, and various modifications, as appropriate, may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the aforementioned embodiment has been described by using an example of disposing the auxiliary
indoor heat exchanger 4D to theindoor heat exchanger 4 so as to scale up the capacity of the indoor unit 1, but the present invention may be applicable to the indoor unit 1 having a smaller capacity without using this auxiliaryindoor heat exchanger 4D, of course. In this case, theair shield member 14 is disposed between theindoor heat exchangers - Furthermore, various embodiments may be employed in the
