Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to an air conditioner of which a front panel is opened so as to be tilted forward for an increase in a suction area.
  • a grill part 2 is openably and closably provided on a front surface 1a of an air conditioner body 1 of an air conditioner disclosed in JP 2013-122326 A .
  • the grill part 2 includes a front panel 2b that is openably and closably provided on the front surface 1a so as to cover the front surface 1a of the air conditioner body 1, and an openable/closable panel 2a that is provided on the front panel 2b to be capable of being opened and closed with respect to the front panel 2b.
  • the openable/closable panel 2a is opened forward so as to be tilted forward with respect to the front panel 2b. Accordingly, since a large amount of room air is sucked through intake ports that are provided on both the upper surface and the front surface 1a of the air conditioner, the amount of heat to be exchanged between a refrigerant of a heat exchanger 5 built in the air conditioner and the room air is increased. As a result, heating and cooling efficiency can be improved. It is preferable that the opening angle of the openable/closable panel 2a is large.
  • the lower edge portion of the front panel 2b is raised up and rotated with respect to the front surface 1a of the air conditioner body 1 during the stop of the air conditioner, so that the openable/closable panel 2a and the front panel 2b, that is, the entire grill part 2 is opened with respect to the front surface 1a. Accordingly, maintenance work, such as the cleaning and attachment/detachment of a filter 4 provided on the front surface 1a and the washing of the heat exchanger 5, can be performed.
  • link mechanisms 60 that include a plurality of links made of a resin, drive units 30 in which motors and gears for driving the link mechanisms 60 are built, and the like are mounted on the inner surfaces of both end portions of the front panel 2b in a longitudinal direction as shown in Fig. 2 of JP 2013-122326 A .
  • the link mechanism 60 includes a cross link 606 that is driven and rotated by the drive unit 30 and is made of a resin, a first link 608, a second link 610, and a third link 613; and the first link 608 is inserted into a hole-shaped insertion portion 614 formed at the intermediate portion of the second link 610.
  • the cross link 606 is rotated in a predetermined direction, the first link 608 is pushed out and the second link 610 and the third link 613 are pulled up. Accordingly, the openable/closable panel 2a is opened.
  • EP 2 226 581 A1 discloses an air conditioner on which the preamble portion of claim 1 is based and of which a front panel is configured to be opened so as to be tilted forward.
  • the link mechanism 60 for opening the openable/closable panel 2a includes the cross link 606, the first link 608, the second link 610, and the third link 613 as described above; and the length of the first link 608 should be made long to take a large opening angle of an upper portion of the openable/closable panel 2a in this structure.
  • the second link 610 should also be made long to make the first link 608 long. Accordingly, since a large space in which the respective links 608, 610, and 613 are stored below the openable/closable panel 2a should be secured in a case in which the openable/closable panel 2a is closed, the size of the air conditioner body 1 is forced to be increased.
  • the lower portion of the openable/closable panel 2a is separated from the front surface 1a of the air conditioner body 1.
  • air-conditioned air which is discharged from a discharge outlet 11 provided at the lower portion of the front surface 1a, is suddenly sucked to an intake port, which is provided on the front surface 1a, from a gap between the lower end of the openable/closable panel 2a and the front surface 1a, there is a concern that heating and cooling efficiency may be lowered and dew condensation may occur in the air conditioner during a cooling operation.
  • the invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide an air conditioner of which an openable/closable panel provided on a front surface is opened so as to be tilted forward, opening/closing mechanisms for an openable/closable panel can be made to have a simple and light structure, an opening angle of an upper portion of the openable/closable panel can be made large to allow the amount of sucked air to increase, and workability during maintenance work, which is to be performed in a state in which the openable/closable panel and a front panel are opened, can be improved.
  • the invention provides an air conditioner with the features of claim 1 to achieve the object.
  • an air conditioner according to the invention includes a front panel that covers a front surface of a body housing and is openably and closably provided so as to be opened up about a hinge portion provided at an upper side of the front panel as an axis, an openable/closable panel that is mounted on the front panel to be capable of being opened and closed with respect to the front panel, and opening/closing mechanisms that open and close the openable/closable panel between a closed position where the openable/closable panel closes an intake opening of the front panel and an open position where the openable/closable panel is opened forward so as to be tilted forward with respect to the front panel.
  • the opening/closing mechanisms include slide rails that are provided on both side portions of the front panel and extend in a vertical direction, fixed pivot parts that are provided above the slide rails, sliders that are provided so as to be slidable along the slide rails and include movable pivot parts and rack gears, upper pivot parts and lower pivot parts that are provided on both side portions of the openable/closable panel, upper links that connect the fixed pivot parts to the upper pivot parts, lower links that connect the movable pivot parts to the lower pivot parts and are shorter than the upper links, intermediate links that connect intermediate pivot parts, which are provided at intermediate portions of the upper links, to the movable pivot parts, and drive units that include pinion gears meshing with the rack gears of the sliders.
  • the pinion gears of the drive units are rotated to push the sliders up.
  • the intermediate links which are connected to the movable pivot parts of the sliders, push the intermediate portions of the upper links, which connect the fixed pivot parts of the body housing to the upper pivot parts of the openable/closable panel, up.
  • the upper links are rotated up, so that the upper portion of the openable/closable panel placed at the closed position is separated from the front panel and the entire openable/closable panel is raised up.
  • the lower links are rotated up and the lower portion of the openable/closable panel is separated from the front panel. Since the lower links are shorter than the upper links, the openable/closable panel is opened forward so as to be tilted forward with respect to the front panel. Accordingly, the openable/closable panel is placed at the open position.
  • the opening/closing mechanism can be made to have a simple and light structure.
  • front panel can be opened up with respect to the front surface of the body housing together with the openable/closable panel, maintenance work, such as the cleaning and attachment/detachment of filters of the intake ports provided on the front surface of the body housing and the washing of the heat exchanger, can be performed.
  • the drive units are installed in the body housing, and the pinion gears of the drive units may mesh with the rack gears in a case in which the front panel is closed with respect to the body housing.
  • the heavy drive units remain in the body housing. For this reason, the weight of the entire front panel can be reduced, so that workability during maintenance work, which is to be performed in a state in which the front panel is opened, can be improved.
  • each slider is relatively movable with respect to the movable pivot part in a sliding direction of the slider, and is urged to a neutral position of a movement range thereof relative to the movable pivot part by an urging portion.
  • the positions of the teeth of the rack gear are made to match the positions of the teeth of the pinion gear by the movement of the rack gear of the slider relative to the movable pivot part in the sliding direction even though the positions of the teeth of the rack gear of the slider deviate from the positions of the teeth of the pinion gear of the drive unit.
  • the rack gear and the pinion gear are made to reliably mesh with each other in a case in which the front panel is to be closed, the front panel can be smoothly closed and workability during maintenance work, which is to be performed in a state in which the front panel is opened, can be improved.
  • the air conditioner may further include locking mechanisms that lock an operation for opening/closing the openable/closable panel with respect to the front panel in a case in which the front panel is opened with respect to the front surface of the body housing.
  • each of the locking mechanism includes: a hook through-hole that is perforated in the front panel; an annular hook that protrudes from a rear surface of the openable/closable panel and is to be inserted into the hook through-hole in a case in which the openable/closable panel is placed at the closed position; a latch member that is provided on a rear surface of the front panel, slides between a locked position where a tip portion of the latch member protrudes so as to overlap the hook through-hole and an unlocked position where the tip portion does not overlap the hook through-hole, includes a swash plate cam formed on a back surface thereof, and is normally urged toward the locked position; and a release protrusion that protrudes from the front surface of the body housing, and comes into contact with the swash plate cam of the latch member to allow the latch member to slide toward the unlocked position in a case in which the front panel is closed with respect to the front surface of the body housing.
  • the release protrusion comes into contact with the swash plate cam of the latch member and the latch member slides toward the unlocked position. For this reason, the openable/closable panel can be moved relative to the front panel between the closed position and the open position.
  • the locking mechanisms included in the opening/closing mechanisms for the openable/closable panel can be made to have a simple and light structure.
  • the air conditioner may further include a support lever that is rotatably provided on the front surface of the body housing and is bridged between the front panel and the front surface of the body housing to hold the front panel in an open state in a case in which the front panel is opened with respect to the front surface of the body housing.
  • the support lever since the support lever is bridged in a state in which the front panel is opened, the front panel can be held in an open state. Accordingly, the workability of maintenance can be improved.
  • a drawing hook which draws the support lever to a functional position in a case in which the front panel is opened with respect to the front surface of the body housing, may be provided on the rear surface of the front panel.

  • a discharge outlet 11 is provided on a lower surface 2c of the body housing 2.
  • room air is sucked through the intake ports 7 and 8 by the operation of the blower fan 9 and this air exchanges heat with a cooled or heated refrigerant by passing through the heat exchanger and is discharged to a room from the discharge outlet 11 as air-conditioned air for cooling or heating.

As shown in Figs. 2 , 6 , and 7 , a plurality of intake openings 15, which match the intake ports 7 of the body housing 2 in a case in which the front panel 3 is closed with respect to the front surface 2a of the body housing 2, are formed at the front panel 3.
  • latch hooks 16 (see Figs. 2 , 3 , and 5 to 7 ), which are provided near the left and right lower end portions of the front panel 3, are inserted into hook insertion holes 17 (see Fig. 2 ) formed at the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 and are engaged with receiving-side hooks 18 (see Fig. 3 ) that are molded with a resin in the hook insertion holes 17 and has a substantially U-shape in side view. Since the receiving-side hooks 18 are elastically deformed in a case in which the latch hooks 16 are engaged with the receiving-side hooks 18, the front panel 3 is closed with a click feeling. In a case in which the left and right lower end portions of the front panel 3 are pulled with a predetermined force, the engagement of the hooks 16 and 18 can be released and the front panel 3 can be opened.

  • the upper links 28 are rotated up, so that the upper portion of the openable/closable panel 4 having been placed at the closed position 4A is separated from the front panel 3 and the entire openable/closable panel 4 is raised up. Since the openable/closable panel 4 is raised up, the lower links 29 are rotated up and the lower portion of the openable/closable panel 4 is separated from the front panel 3. Since the lower links 29 are shorter than the upper links 28, the openable/closable panel 4 is opened forward so as to be tilted forward with respect to the front panel 3. Accordingly, the openable/closable panel 4 is placed at the open position 4B.
  • the length of the upper link 28 is made longer than the length of the lower link 29, a large opening angle of the openable/closable panel 4 at the open position 4B can be taken.

Accordingly, in a case in which a relative force in the direction along the slide rail 21 is not applied between the slider 23 and the sliding piece 42, the position of the central portion of the sliding hole 41 in a longitudinal direction matches the position of the movable pivot part 24 of the sliding piece 42.

  • each latch member 50 can slide between a locked position 50A where a tip portion 50b of the latch member 50 protrudes so as to overlap the hook through-hole 47 and a position where the tip portion 50b does not overlap the hook through-hole 47 as shown in Figs. 10B and 12B , that is, an unlocked position 50B that is present below the locked position 50A.
  • the leaf spring portions 50a extend linearly without being deformed and tips of the leaf spring portions 50a are in slight contact with the inclined surfaces 53a of the stoppers 53.
  • the leaf spring portions 50a are elastically deformed upward and the tips of the leaf spring portions 50a are in pressure contact with the inclined surfaces 53a of the stoppers 53.
  • the latch member 50 is normally urged toward the locked position 50A by the urging force of the leaf spring portions 50a and the inclined surfaces 53a of the stoppers 53. That is, in a case in which the latch member 50 is pushed down to the unlocked position 50B from the locked position 50A, the leaf spring portions 50a are elastically deformed and the latch member 50 is returned to the locked position 50A by the reaction force of the leaf spring portions 50a.
  • a swash plate cam 50c is formed on the back surface of the latch member 50.
  • the inclined surface of the swash plate cam 50c ascends toward the unlocked position 50B (lower side) from the locked position 50A of the latch member 50 (upper side).
  • the sliding direction of the latch member 50 may not necessarily be a vertical direction unlike in this embodiment, and may be a horizontal direction or another direction.
  • each of the pair of left and right release protrusions 52 protruding from the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 does not press the swash plate cam 50c of the latch member 50.
  • each latch member 50 is placed at the locked position 50A by the urging force of the leaf spring portions 50a and the tip portion 50b of each latch member 50 overlaps the hook through-hole 47, the tip portion 50b is inserted into an annular hole of the annular hook 48 inserted into the hook through-hole 47 (see also Fig. 10A ). Accordingly, the annular hook 48 is not separated from the hook through-hole 47, so that the openable/closable panel 4 is locked at the closed position 4A and cannot be moved to the open position 4B.
  • each of the release protrusions 52 protruding from the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 comes into contact with the swash plate cam 50c of the latch member 50 and presses the swash plate cam 50c.
  • each latch member 50 is made to slide toward the unlocked position 50B by a distance H with a thrust force, which is generated by the swash plate cam 50c, and the tip portion 50b of each latch member 50 does not overlap the hook through-hole 47, the tip portion 50b is separated from the annular hole of the annular hook 48 (see also Fig. 10B ). Accordingly, the annular hook 48 can be separated from the hook through-hole 47, so that the openable/closable panel 4 can be moved to the open position 4B from the closed position 4A.
  • the locking mechanisms 46 having this structure are provided, an operation for opening/closing the openable/closable panel 4 with respect to the front panel 3 is locked by the action of the locking mechanisms 46 in a state in which the front panel 3 is opened with respect to the front surface 2a of the body housing 2. For this reason, the openable/closable panel 4 is not moved alone with respect to the front panel 3, and workability during maintenance work, which is to be performed in a state in which the front panel 3 (front panel assembly 5) is opened, can be improved. Moreover, the locking mechanism 46 can be made to have a very simple and light structure.
  • a support lever 57 is provided on the front surface 2a of the body housing 2. Since the support lever 57 is provided so as to rotate up and down about a hinge portion 58 as an axis, the support lever 57 is placed at a position where the support lever 57 hangs down in a case in which the front panel 3 (front panel assembly 5) is closed (see Figs. 2 and 5 ) .
  • the support lever 57 is rotated up as shown in Fig. 13 and the tip of the support lever 57 is latched on a latch protrusion 59 (see also Figs. 7 , 10A , and 10B ) formed on the rear surface of the front panel 3. Accordingly, since the support lever 57 is bridged between the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 and the front panel 3, the front panel 3 is held in a state in which the front panel 3 (front panel assembly 5) is opened.
  • the support lever 57 Since the support lever 57 is provided, the front panel 3 can be held in an open state. Accordingly, workability during maintenance work, which is to be performed in a state in which the front panel 3 (front panel assembly 5) is opened, can be significantly improved. Since the support lever 57 is stored along the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 in a case in which the support lever 57 is not in use, the support lever 57 can also be stored in a narrow space between the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 and the front panel 3. Accordingly, the support lever 57 does not occupy a large space.
  • Figs. 14A to 17 show another embodiment of the support lever. Since a support lever 61 is provided on the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 so as to be freely rotatable about a hinge portion 62 as in the case of the above-mentioned support lever 57, the support lever 61 is stored along the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 in a posture where the support lever 61 faces up as shown in Fig. 14A in a case in which the support lever 61 is not in use. Since a drawing hook 63 is provided on the rear surface of the front panel 3, the drawing hook 63 is latched on an upper end portion of the support lever 61 in a case in which the front panel 3 is closed.
  • the support lever 61 is drawn to a functional position where the support lever 61 is tilted forward by the drawing hook 63 provided on the rear surface of the front panel 3. Since rotation-regulating protrusions 64 are provided at the base end portion of the support lever 61 as shown in Figs. 15 and 16 , the support lever 61 is held at a predetermined angle. Since the support lever 61 is bridged between the front surface 2a of the body housing 2 and the front panel 3, the front panel 3 can be held in an open state.
  • the support lever 61 In a case in which the front panel 3 is closed, the support lever 61 is pushed by the rear surface of the front panel 3 and is returned to a storage position where the support lever 61 is stored along the front surface 2a of the body housing 2.
  • Positioning protrusions 65 which protrude laterally, are provided on both sides of the base end portion of the support lever 61 as shown in Figs. 15 and 17 , and the positioning protrusions 65 are fitted to positioning recessed portions 66 formed at the hinge portion 62 in a case in which the support lever 61 is placed at the storage position. Accordingly, the support lever 61 is held at the storage position. For this reason, the natural rotation of the support lever 61 to the functional position or the generation of the abnormal noise, which is caused by resonance during the heating and cooling operation, is prevented.
  • the drawing hook 63 provided on the rear surface of the front panel 3 draws the support lever 61 to the functional position in a case in which the front panel 3 is opened, worker's efforts to draw the support lever 61 can be reduced. Accordingly, the workability of maintenance can be improved.
  • the openable/closable panel 4 provided on the front surface is opened so as to be tilted forward
  • the opening/closing mechanisms 20 for the openable/closable panel 4 can be made to have a simple and light structure, an opening angle of the upper portion of the openable/closable panel 4 can be made large to allow the amount of sucked air to increase, and workability during maintenance work, which is to be performed in a state in which the openable/closable panel 4 and the front panel 3 are opened, can be improved.
  • each pivot part, the length and shape of each link, and the like of the opening/closing mechanism 20 are not necessarily limited to those of the embodiment.
  • the drive units 33 have only to be installed in the body housing 2, and the structure and the like of the drive unit 33 may be modified.
