Description

  The present invention relates to an integrated air conditioner used by being attached to a window.

Conventionally, this type of equipment does not require large-scale installation work like a separate air conditioner installed on the wall of the room, and it can be easily installed by the user himself and is easy to handle. The condensed water generated in the evaporator is stored in a water reservoir provided below the condenser, and then sprinkled on the condenser by watering means provided in the vicinity of the condenser. The condensed water was treated by evaporating it and discharging it from the outdoor outlet. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-36828

  However, this conventional air conditioner always has a certain amount of condensate in the water reservoir when it is used for cooling operation in the summer, and bacteria and other germs propagate in this condensate. Odors such as mold may be generated indoors, which may give the user a sense of discomfort and distrust.

  This invention pays attention to this point, and in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the frame body is partitioned into an indoor side and an outdoor side by a partition plate or the like, and an indoor inlet and an indoor outlet are provided on the indoor side of the frame body. Provided with an outdoor inlet and an outdoor outlet, an indoor heat exchange chamber provided with an evaporator and an indoor fan at the upper indoor side of the frame, and a condenser and an outdoor fan provided outside the frame. The outdoor heat exchange chamber is provided with a machine room equipped with a compressor and electrical components at the lower part of the indoor side of the frame body, and the condensed water generated in the evaporator is stored in a water reservoir provided below the condenser. In an integrated air conditioner that performs condensate treatment by sprinkling the condenser with watering means provided in the vicinity of the condenser to evaporate the condensed water and discharging the condensed water to the outside through an outdoor outlet. Is formed from the lower part of the condenser to the lower part of the machine room on the indoor side, and is contained in the condensed water in the water reservoir. Is is provided with a antimicrobial tool for preventing the proliferation of such bacteria and germs.

The antibacterial device is provided in a water reservoir on the lower chamber side of the machine room.
The antibacterial tool is provided at a position lower than the lower end of the watering plate of the watering means.
The antibacterial tool is composed of a large number of linear copper materials formed in a fibrous shape that generate copper ions in condensed water.

According to the present invention, an antibacterial tool is provided in the water reservoir, and copper ions are generated from the antibacterial tool to prevent the growth of bacteria and bacteria contained in the condensed water, thereby preventing the generation of off-flavors. There is no improvement in hygiene.
In addition, since the antibacterial device is provided in the water reservoir at the inside of the lower part of the machine room, it can be easily detached and maintained.
In addition, since the antibacterial device is provided at a position lower than the lower end of the watering plate of the watering means, it can always come into contact with the condensed water and can more effectively prevent the propagation of bacteria, germs and the like.
In addition, since the antibacterial device is formed of a large number of linear copper materials formed into fibers, the contact area of copper and condensed water can be increased, and copper ions can be efficiently generated in the condensed water. Is.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a frame that covers the outer casing of the air conditioner, a base 2 that forms a bottom surface, a front panel 3 that covers a front side of the left and right side surfaces, a front side of the top surface, and a front surface, a rear side of the left and right side surfaces, a rear side of the top surface, and a back surface. It is formed with the back plate 4 which covers.
The front panel 3 includes an indoor suction port 5 provided in the center of the front surface in a slit shape and a vertically long indoor air outlet 6 adjacent to the right of the suction port 5.
The back plate 4 is provided with an outdoor suction port 7 provided in the center of the back surface in the form of a slit and a vertically long outdoor air outlet 8 on the left side of the suction port 7.

  9 is a partition plate that separates the indoor side and the outdoor side in the frame 1 and is formed of a material such as styrene foam. The indoor heat exchange chamber 10 is formed on the front upper portion of the partition plate 9, and the indoor heat exchange chamber 10 A machine room 11 is provided below, and an outdoor heat exchange chamber 12 is provided on the rear side of the partition plate 9.

  An evaporator 13 is provided in the indoor heat exchange chamber 10 inside the indoor suction port 5, an indoor fan 14 is provided further inside the evaporator 13, and the indoor suction port 5, the evaporator 13, the indoor fan 14, and the indoor The blower outlet 6 is connected and the indoor ventilation path 15 is formed.

  In the machine room 11, a compressor 16, a decompression device, and electrical components are provided. A condenser 17 is provided in the outdoor heat exchange chamber 12 inside the outdoor suction port 7, an outdoor fan 18 is provided further inside the condenser 17, and the outdoor suction port 7, the condenser 17, the outdoor fan 18 and the outdoor are provided. An outdoor air passage 19 is formed by communicating with the air outlet 8.

  The evaporator 13 and the condenser 17 are fin tube type heat exchangers that pass through a copper pipe through a number of aluminum thin plates and exchange heat through the copper pipe. During the cooling operation, the evaporator 13 is kept at a low temperature. As a result, water vapor in the air is generated as condensed water, and the condenser 17 is heated to release heat.

Below the evaporator 13, there is provided an upper and lower partition plate 20 that also functions as a drain pan for collecting condensed water generated in the evaporator 13, and the collected condensed water is formed on the base 2 below the outdoor heat exchange chamber 12.

Since it is provided at a position lower than the lower end of the water, it can always come into contact with condensed water, and copper ions are generated from the antibacterial tool 26 to propagate bacteria and germs contained in the condensed water. By preventing this, not only the generation of off-flavors is prevented, but also hygiene is improved. Further, since the antibacterial tool 26 is provided in the indoor water reservoir 21 at the lower part of the machine room 11, it is easy to attach and detach and to facilitate maintenance. Further, since the antibacterial tool 26 is formed of a large number of linear copper materials formed in a fiber shape, the contact area of copper and condensed water can be increased, and copper ions can be efficiently generated in the condensed water. It can be done.

  The antibacterial tool 26 is a copper mesh of about 60 mm × 25 mm, and a copper wire having a diameter of 0.28 mm is knitted in a net shape. Four corners are put on the ribs 27 erected on the base 2, and The center of the antibacterial tool 26 is fixed to the boss 28 for screw holes erected integrally with the screw from above.

  Below the indoor outlet 6 is provided an operation unit 33 including switches such as an operation switch 29, a room temperature setting switch 30, a ventilation operation switch 31, and a receiving unit 32 of a remote controller (not shown).

A slit-like ventilation port 36 is provided at the lower portion of the operation unit 33, and a lid 35 that opens and closes in a glazed manner is provided on the back surface of the ventilation port 34.
The machine chamber 11 at the lower part of the partition plate 9 communicates with the outdoor air passage 19 through a water reservoir 21, and condensed water is stored in the lower part of the machine chamber 11, and the communication part 36 between the water reservoir 21 and the partition plate 9 is It also functions as an exhaust port for ventilation.
