以下、本発明の一実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。図１は、壁掛け型空気調和機の側断面図、図２は図１の斜視図である。図１、図２において、この壁掛け型空気調和機１０は、横長の本体ケース１と、この本体ケース１に着脱自在に取り付けられる前面パネル３とを備え、前面パネル３には横に細長い複数の吸気孔を有する吸込口４が形成されている。本体ケース１及び前面パネル３は、プラスチックを材料として作られている。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a wall-mounted air conditioner, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of FIG. 1 and 2, this wall-mounted air conditioner 10 includes a horizontally long main body case 1 and a front panel 3 detachably attached to the main body case 1. A suction port 4 having a suction hole is formed. The main body case 1 and the front panel 3 are made of plastic.

図３は前面パネルを裏側から見た斜視図、図４はエアフィルタを前面パネルから外した状態を示す斜視図、図５は前面パネルの裏側の一部を示す斜視図である。前面パネル３の裏面には、横長のエアフィルタ５とこのエアフィルタ５を収納し取り付ける収納部６とが設けられている。   3 is a perspective view of the front panel viewed from the back side, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the air filter is removed from the front panel, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a part of the back side of the front panel. On the back surface of the front panel 3, a horizontally long air filter 5 and a storage section 6 for storing and mounting the air filter 5 are provided.

前記エアフィルタ５は柔軟性のある素材で作られ、補強用の５本の縦桟７、７・・と、補強用の１本の横桟８と、その周囲に位置するフィルタ枠９とを有し、網状のフィルタ素材を一体化させて構成されている。縦桟７上部のフィルタ枠９には角状の係止孔１２（止着手段）を有するつまみ１３（図６参照）が２ヵ所に設けられ、縦桟７下部のフィルタ枠９の５ヵ所には下方に突出する突片１４が設けられている（図７参照）。また、つまみ１３、１３の設けられた位置に交差する縦桟７の中央部、すなわち縦桟７と横桟８が交差する位置には、それぞれ直角方向に突出する取っ手１５がそれぞれ設けられている。   The air filter 5 is made of a flexible material, and is composed of five vertical bars 7, 7,... For reinforcement, one horizontal bar 8 for reinforcement, and a filter frame 9 located therearound. It is constituted by integrating a net-like filter material. Knobs 13 (see FIG. 6) having a square locking hole 12 (fastening means) are provided at two places in the filter frame 9 above the vertical bar 7 and at five places in the filter frame 9 below the vertical bar 7. Is provided with a projecting piece 14 projecting downward (see FIG. 7). At the center of the vertical bar 7 that intersects the position where the knobs 13 and 13 are provided, that is, at the position where the vertical bar 7 and the horizontal bar 8 intersect, a handle 15 that protrudes at a right angle is provided. .

一方、前記収納部６は、吸込口４の周囲に沿って設けられる外枠１６と、この外枠１６の上辺に形成された２つの突起片１７、１７（図６参照）及び下辺に形成された５つの固定孔１８、１８・・（図７参照）とを有している。突起片１７は、前面パネル３に対して直角方向に形成され、この突出片１７に直角に突出する爪１７ａ（止着手段）が形成されている。これらの爪１７ａは、前記係止孔１２に嵌合され、前記つまみ１３を下方へ押し下げることにより、爪１７ａが係止孔１２から外れるようになっている。また、固定孔１８は、上下方向に貫通する孔で、前記突片１４を挿入することによりエアフィルタ５の下部を支持固定する。   On the other hand, the storage portion 6 is formed on an outer frame 16 provided along the periphery of the suction port 4, two projecting pieces 17, 17 (see FIG. 6) formed on an upper side of the outer frame 16, and a lower side. (See FIG. 7). The protruding piece 17 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the front panel 3, and the protruding piece 17 is formed with a claw 17 a (fastening means) protruding at a right angle. These claws 17 a are fitted into the locking holes 12, and when the knobs 13 are pressed down, the claws 17 a come off from the locking holes 12. The fixing hole 18 is a hole penetrating in the vertical direction, and supports and fixes the lower portion of the air filter 5 by inserting the protruding piece 14.

次に、エアフィルタ５を収納部６へ着脱する際の取付方と、取外し方について説明する。   Next, how to attach and detach the air filter 5 to and from the storage unit 6 will be described.

エアフィルタ５を収納部６に取り付ける場合には、先ず、エアフィルタ５の取っ手１５、１５をそれぞれ左右の手でつまんで持つ。次に、収納部６の固定孔１８、１８・・に突片１４、１４・・を、挿入して固定する。エアフィルタ５の上部を収納部６方向へ押し付けることにより、図６に示す爪１７ａが係止孔１２に嵌合し係止され、エアフィルタ５が収納部６に止着される。   When attaching the air filter 5 to the storage section 6, first, the handles 15, 15 of the air filter 5 are grasped by the left and right hands, respectively. Next, the projecting pieces 14, 14,... Are inserted and fixed in the fixing holes 18, 18,. By pressing the upper part of the air filter 5 in the direction of the storage part 6, the claw 17 a shown in FIG. 6 is fitted and locked in the locking hole 12, and the air filter 5 is fixed to the storage part 6.

また、エアフィルタ５を収納部６から取り外す場合には、図８に示すように、例えば、エアフィルタ５の左右の取っ手１５、１５をそれぞれ左右の手の親指と中指で摘み、つまみ１３、１３をそれぞれ人差し指で下に押し下げながら取っ手１５、１５を前面パネル３から離す方向に引くことにより、エアフィルタ５を収納部６から外すことができる。   When the air filter 5 is to be removed from the storage section 6, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, the left and right handles 15, 15 of the air filter 5 are respectively gripped by the thumb and middle finger of the left and right hands, and the knobs 13, 13 By pulling the handles 15, 15 in a direction away from the front panel 3 while pressing down with the index finger, the air filter 5 can be removed from the storage section 6.

このように、エアフィルタ５を外す場合、エアフィルタ５の係止を解除するつまみ１３、１３と、エアフィルタ５を収納部６から離す取っ手１５、１５とを同時に操作できるので、エアフィルタ５を容易に外すことができる。   As described above, when the air filter 5 is removed, the knobs 13 and 13 for releasing the engagement of the air filter 5 and the handles 15 and 15 for separating the air filter 5 from the storage portion 6 can be simultaneously operated. Can be easily removed.

また、取っ手１５が縦桟７と横桟８の交差する部分に設けられているので、エアフィルタ５を撓みにくく取り扱うことができ、さらに、撓みにくく取り扱うことができるので、エアフィルタ５を着脱する際には、固定孔１８と突片１４の位置合わせが容易で、エアフィルタ５を傷めずに取り扱うことができる。   In addition, since the handle 15 is provided at the intersection of the vertical bar 7 and the horizontal bar 8, the air filter 5 can be handled with less bending, and furthermore, the air filter 5 can be handled with less bending. In this case, the positioning of the fixing hole 18 and the protruding piece 14 is easy, and the air filter 5 can be handled without being damaged.

以上、一実施例に基づいて、本発明を説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものでなく、要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で変形が可能である。   As described above, the present invention has been described based on one embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be modified without departing from the gist.

本実施例では壁掛け型の空気調和機１０で説明しているが、天井埋込型や床置き型等、他の形態の空気調和機に適用しても良い。   In this embodiment, the air conditioner 10 is a wall-mounted type, but the present invention may be applied to other types of air conditioners such as a ceiling-mounted type and a floor-mounted type.
