  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an air supply inlet 2 and an exhaust outlet 3 are provided on the side surface of a box-shaped main body 1 that is open so as to be housed inside the ceiling. These are connected to the ducts 31a and 31b through the duct connecting portions 30a and 30b, respectively, and communicate with the outdoors. Inside the main body 1, the side surface of the main body 1 is connected via an intake casing suction port 8 of an air supply casing 6 having an air supply fan 4 and an exhaust casing suction port 9 of an exhaust casing 7 having an exhaust fan 5. The air supply path 32 and the exhaust path 33 communicating with the air supply inlet 2 and the exhaust outlet 3 are formed, and a heat exchange plate for exchanging moisture and heat is provided at the intersection of the air supply path 32 and the exhaust path 33. A heat exchanger 10 formed by laminating a large number is arranged, and a panel 13 having an exhaust inlet 11 and an air supply outlet 12 is provided in an opening on the indoor side of the main body 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, a back surface of the panel 13 is attached to the main body 1 via a spring 14 that is a bifurcated and outwardly openable panel installation means that can be freely opened and closed. A hole-like engaging portion 15 that engages with the elastic force of the spring 14 is provided, and the panel 13 is held by the main body 1 due to the elasticity of the spring 14. Two connecting portions 16 that are symmetrical with respect to the panel reference plane 35 and two auxiliary connecting portions 17a on the panel side surface on the panel reference plane 35 are provided at two positions that take the center of gravity of the panel 13, and the connecting portions are connected to the auxiliary connecting portion 17a. An auxiliary connecting portion 17b is provided at a position sandwiching 16 and a prevention wall 18 is provided in the vicinity of the auxiliary connecting portion 17b.

  The spring locking portion 19 includes a spring locking insertion hole 20, a screw fixing hole 22 is formed at one end 21, both ends thereof are bent, and the other end is inserted into the auxiliary connecting portion 17 a. A spring engaging portion A19a composed of the auxiliary connecting insertion portion 23, the distal end portions at both ends are open ends 24 and inserted into the connecting portion 16, and the other distal end portion 25 is provided with a screw fixing boss 26, and The spring engagement portion B19b is formed with a bent tip 27, and the spring engagement portion A19a and the spring engagement portion B19b are fixed by a screw 29.

  In the above configuration, after the main body 1 of the air conditioner is installed so as to be stored in the back of the ceiling, the ceiling 13 is engaged by the engagement of the spring 14 provided with the panel 13 on the main body 1 and the engaging portion 15 of the main body 1. Install on the surface. When the device is operated, the exhaust fan 5 rotates, and air containing hot air in the room is sucked from the exhaust suction port 11, enters the heat exchanger 10 through the exhaust path, and is accumulated and discharged to the outdoors. At the same time, air is supplied from the outside, and the accumulated heat is collected by entering the heat exchanger 10 through the air supply path and taken into the room through the air supply outlet 12.

  Thus, the connection part 16 provided with the spring latching | locking part insertion hole which inserts the said spring latching | locking part which fixes an upward motion to the lateral 2 side surface direction of the engaging part 15 of a spring on the back surface of the panel 13; By providing auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b that are longer than the upper direction of the spring engaging portion insertion hole in the vicinity of the connecting portion 16, the connecting portion 16 is cracked due to the elastic force of the spring 14, adhesion of chemicals, etc. or aging. Even in the case where a breakage occurs, the spring locking portion 19 will not fit and fall into the space formed by the auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b.

  In addition, after the connecting portion 16 is broken, the spring locking portion 19 is held by the auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b and is held in a state where a gap is formed between the panel 13 and the ceiling surface. 13 abnormalities will be noticed. Therefore, a serious accident such as injury can be prevented in advance by damaging the connecting portion 16 and dropping the panel 13 due to subsequent aging.

  In addition, the spring locking portion 19 includes a spring locking portion A19a inserted into the auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b and a spring locking portion B19b inserted only into the connecting portion 16, and the spring locking portion A19a and the spring Since the locking portion B19b is fixed by the screw 29, the spring locking portion 19 does not come off from the connecting portion 16 and the auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b, and at the same time, attachment / detachment is easy and maintainability is improved.

  In addition, since the spring locking portion 19 and the connecting portion 16 that fixes the upward movement of the spring locking portion 19 due to the elastic force of the opening of the spring 14 are in surface contact, the stress applied to the connecting portion 16 is uniform. It is dispersed and damage to the connecting portion 16 is reduced.

  Further, by providing the prevention wall 18 that prevents the inward movement of the spring locking portion 19, the movable range of the spring locking portion 19 becomes narrow after the connection portion 16 is broken, and the spring locking portion 19 is moved from the auxiliary connection portions 17 a and 17 b. Will not easily come off, and the panel 13 will not fall.

  Further, since the spring locking portion B19b has a bent tip 26 and can move smoothly upward along the prevention wall 18, the connecting portion 16 is a space formed by the auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b. Is moved upward, and a gap is surely formed between the panel 13 and the ceiling surface.

  In addition, the spring 14 which is bifurcated and can be opened and opened freely has a ring shape at a bifurcated fulcrum and penetrates through the spring locking insertion hole 20. The spring 14 can move freely along the stop insertion hole 20, the operating range of the spring 14 is widened, and the spring 14 can be easily attached and finely adjusted.

  Further, if the fulcrum has a coil shape, when the coil-shaped portion is penetrated through the spring locking insertion hole 20, the coil-shaped portion can be separated from the lowermost part of the coil shape, so that the spring 14 is closely attached to the panel 13. In addition, since the elastic force of the spring 14 can be enhanced by the coil shape, the holding of the panel 13 and the main body 1 can be strengthened.

  Further, the connecting portion 16, the auxiliary connecting portions 17a and 17b, and the prevention wall 18 have a thin-walled structure, and the reinforcing ribs 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, and 28e are respectively formed on the surface of the panel 13 while ensuring the strength. Since sink marks and the like are less likely to occur, design properties can be improved.

  It can also be applied to ceiling-mounted ventilation fans and ceiling-mounted air conditioners that are widely used in air conditioning.
