BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail as examples based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of an air conditioner according to the present invention, (A) is an external perspective view showing a state in which a front suction grill is opened, (B) is a sectional view, and FIG. 2 is an air conditioner according to the present invention. In the illustration, (A)
Is a perspective view and a perspective view of a main part, and (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in the perspective view of the main part of (A).

The air conditioner according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B) and FIG. 2 (A), has a heat exchanger 1 and a heat exchanger 1 which are bent in an inverted V shape. The base 3 supporting the blower fan 2 is continuously formed from the front surface to the upper surface,
A front panel 6 having a suction port 4 which is divided into right and left by a central support column a and which has a removable filter b, and an air outlet 5 formed on a lower surface is attached.

An upper surface suction grill 7 is detachably provided in the upper suction port 4, and a front suction grill 14 is detachably provided in the front suction port 4.

The air sucked from the upper and front suction ports 4 becomes clean air from which dust has been removed by passing through the filter b, and is heat-exchanged while passing through the heat exchanger 1. The air is blown out from the air outlet 5 into the air-conditioned room.

As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the front suction grille 9 is horizontally rotatably supported by supporting shafts 13 provided on both sides of the front panel 7, so that the front suction grill 9 can be rotated. The suction port 4 is opened in a so-called double-open state, and for example, when the filter b is desired to be cleaned or washed, it can be attached and detached from the opened front suction port 4.

Further, the front suction grille 9 is provided with the support shaft portion 13 so as to have a so-called double-door open structure, so that the paragraph portions 8 are formed on the front surfaces of both side portions of the front panel 6.

The paragraph 8 on one side is provided with a lead-out hole 11 and a terminal board 12 for the power cable 10 that is pulled out from the back side along the side wall 9.
Adjacent to the extraction hole 11 and the terminal board 12, the support shaft portion 13 is provided.
Is provided.

Here, the workability when the power cable 10 is pulled out from the rear side of the front panel 6 to the paragraph 8 along the side wall 9 and connected to the terminal board 12 can be improved. The configuration thus configured will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 2 (A) and 2 (B), the front panel 6 has a side wall 9 and a side wall 9 of the paragraph 8 where the lead-out hole 11 and the terminal board 12 are close to each other. Is formed with an inclined surface 15 whose front end is inclined toward the suction port 4 side of the front surface.

Explaining the structure of the portion in more detail, the paragraph hole 8 is provided with the lead-out hole 11, and the lead-out hole 11 is provided with the terminal board 12. Then, the paragraph portion 8 in which the extraction hole 11 and the terminal board 12 are close to each other
Since the inclined surface 15 is formed on the side wall 9 of the side wall 9 such that the front end of the side wall 9 inclines toward the suction port 4 side of the front surface, the cutout portion c shown by hatching in FIG. ing. .

The lead-out hole 11 is composed of an elongated hole extending vertically, and the terminal board 12 is made to face the upper end of the elongated hole.

As a result, a large space can be secured in the front portion of the drawing hole 11 and the terminal board 12, so that the front side of the front panel 6 is pulled out to the paragraph portion 8 on one side. The power supply cable 10 can be efficiently and accurately connected to the terminal board 12 by widely using the location without narrowing the visual field by the side wall 9 or obstructing the work.
