Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner capable of optionally setting an installation height. <P>SOLUTION: This air conditioner comprises a falling-prevention back plate capable of being installed on a wall surface to be used as an installation plate, on its back face, and a detachable leg placed on a floor surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to the structure of an indoor unit when a floor-standing air conditioner is installed on a wall surface.

  In the conventional technology, when adjusting the installation height of a floor-standing air conditioner, an installation leg device that can place the main body of the air conditioner on the floor is installed, and the floor-standing air conditioner is installed on the installation leg device. The height can be adjusted by installing.

  In addition, when installing the wall-mounted air conditioner on the floor surface, the base portion placed on the floor surface, and a column that extends upward from the back portion of the base portion and can be attached to the installation plate of the wall-mounted air conditioner. A wall-mounted air conditioner can be installed in the vicinity of the floor surface by using a self-standing table, attaching a mounting plate to the column, and installing a wall-mounted air conditioner on the mounting plate.

  However, as shown in Patent Document 1, in the prior art, since the air conditioner is installed on the column attached to the back of the base of the installation leg device placed on the floor surface, the installation height is limited by the length of the column. I was allowed to.

  As shown in Patent Document 2, in the prior art, when installing a wall-mounted air conditioner as a floor-standing type air conditioner, it is necessary to purchase an optional self-standing stand.

  In addition, when installing an air conditioner as an alternative to a fan heater, the wall hole for exhaust of the fan heater may be used as a pipe hole for pipe connection with an outdoor unit. The air conditioner may not be installed higher than this pipe hole because it uses a stand for installation, and in that case, a position lower than the drain outlet part of the air conditioner separately from the pipe hole. It was necessary to provide a new drain hose hole for drainage. Or in order to raise drain water once to the position higher than the said pipe hole, it was necessary to install the drain pump.

  In addition, since the wall-mounted air conditioner is designed to be installed near the ceiling, if it is installed near the floor, the filter can be seen even if the front panel is opened when the filter is removed. I had to bend down and look down from the bottom to see the filter.

  Furthermore, because wall-mounted air conditioners are usually installed near the ceiling, the remote control light receiver is designed to receive signals from the front diagonally downward direction. , Reception sensitivity will deteriorate.

  The objective of this invention is providing the air conditioner which can set installation height freely.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following configuration.

  It can be installed on the wall by using it as a mounting plate on the back without the need for a stand to adjust the installation height and a column that extends upward from the back of the stand and to which the mounting plate of the air conditioner can be attached. It is set as the structure provided with the back plate for possible fall prevention.

  The leg placed on the floor surface is provided with a removable structure.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an air conditioner in which the installation height can be freely set, and when removing the filter, there is no need to bend and look into it, and the reception sensitivity of the remote controller does not deteriorate.

  A floor-standing air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing the overall structure of an embodiment of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, an air suction port 7a disposed on the upper surface of the air conditioner 1, a rear air suction port 7b disposed on the upper back of the cabinet, a removable decorative panel 6 provided on the front surface, and this decorative panel. The filter 9a disposed behind the heat exchanger and in front of the heat exchanger, the filter 9b formed integrally with the upper and rear air suction grilles, and a decorative frame 5, to which the decorative panel is attached, Cross-flow fan 3 for blowing, the suction grills are arranged on the upper surface and the rear surface, heat exchanger 4, heat exchanger tray 10 corresponding to each air suction grille, and a heat exchanger tray on the rear side, Integrated molded cabinet 2, leg 12 that supports the cabinet when installed as floor-standing, and can be used as an installation plate on the back Constituted by the face plate 13.

  In the above configuration, when it is desired to set the installation height of the air conditioner high, the legs 12 are removed, the back plate 13 is attached to the wall, and the air conditioner with the legs 12 removed is attached to the back plate by hooking, Can be installed at the desired height.

  Moreover, when installing on a floor, it can install with the leg 12 attached.

  FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view showing a state of installation on the wall surface. When an air conditioner is installed as an alternative to a fan heater, when an exhaust wall hole for the fan heater is used as a pipe hole 20 for pipe connection with an outdoor unit (not shown), the air conditioner is connected to the pipe hole 20. Therefore, it is not necessary to newly provide the drain hose hole 21 or to raise the drain water to a position higher than the pipe hole, and it is not necessary to install a drain pump (not shown).
