Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to a holding structure for holding a drain hose attached to a drain port of a drain pan so as not to come off.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional air conditioner is, for example, shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2 (C), on the upper part of the front surface of the base 1,
An upper surface cover 3 having an inlet 2 is detachably mounted on a lower front surface thereof, and a front cover 5 having an air outlet 4 and upwardly curved toward an anterior portion is detachably mounted. A heat exchanger 7 having a drain pan 6 at a lower part and a blower fan 8 are provided in an air passage connecting the drain pipe 6 and a mounting pipe 11 provided at a tip end of a drain hose 10 at a drain port 9 of the drain pan 6.
And a holding body 12 'for holding the mounting pipe 11 so as not to be detached from the drain port 9 is provided.

However, the holding body 12 'holds the base end of the mounting tube 11 of the drain hose 10 by a holding hole, and is fixed to the drain pan 6 by a screw b inserted through the mounting hole a. Therefore, the workability of attachment and detachment is poor, and the configuration is made of individual members, which is disadvantageous in cost.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has a structure in which a holding body for holding a drain hose attached to a drain port of a drain pan so as not to be detached is integrally formed with a base. It is another object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner that can easily hold a drain hose with a configuration advantageous in cost.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a top cover having a suction port on the upper front surface of the base and a blower outlet on the lower front surface are curved upward toward the front. A front cover is detachably mounted, and a heat exchanger provided with a drain pan at a lower part and a blower fan are provided in an air passage connecting the suction port and the air outlet, and a drain hose is provided at a drain port of the drain pan. In an air conditioner equipped with a mounting pipe provided at a distal end and holding the mounting pipe so as not to be detached from the drain port, the holding body holds a base end of the mounting pipe. The base has a holding hole and is formed integrally with the base.

The holding hole is formed in an inverted U-shape by releasing a lower portion of the holding body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as examples. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of an air conditioner according to the present invention, (A) is a sectional view, and (B).
(C) is a sectional view of a main part, and (D) is an exploded perspective view of a main part.

As shown in the drawing, the air conditioner according to the present invention has a base 1 similar to that of the above-described prior art.
A top cover 3 having a suction port 2 is detachably mounted on a front upper portion thereof, and a front cover 5 having a blowout port 4 and being curved upward toward a front portion is detachably mounted on a lower front portion thereof. A heat exchanger 7 provided with a drain pan 6 at the lower part and a blower fan 8 in an air passage connecting the
A mounting pipe 11 provided at the tip of a drain hose 10 is attached to a drain port 9 of the drain pan 6, and a holding body 12 for holding the mounting pipe 11 so as not to be detached from the drain port 9 is provided. I have.

The holding body 12 is provided with a holding hole 13 formed in an inverted U-shape by opening a lower portion for holding the base end of the mounting tube 11 and integrally formed with the base 1. It has become.

As a result, the holding body 12 is formed integrally with the base 1 in a cost-effective configuration, and the holding tube 11 provided in the drain hose 10 can be effectively held.

Further, in the case where the drain pan 6 is taken out by removing the screw of the screw tightening portion A shown in FIG. 1A, washed, and then assembled as shown in FIG. 1B. Even when the mounting pipe 11 is attached to the drain port 9, the lower part of the holding hole 13 is returned as shown in FIG. The drain hose 10 can be inserted from above to accurately hold the base end of the mounting tube 11 with the holder 12.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the holding member for holding the drain hose attached to the drain port of the drain pan so as not to be detached is integrally formed with the base, and the drain hose is advantageous in cost. An air conditioner that can be easily held by the configuration.
