BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an indoor / outdoor integrated air conditioner mounted on a window, for example, and more particularly to an improvement in a seal structure between an indoor heat exchanger room and an outdoor heat exchanger room. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional indoor and outdoor air conditioner of this type is shown in FIG. The air conditioner B shown in FIG. 1 includes an indoor heat exchanger 4, an outdoor heat exchanger 2, a compressor 6, the indoor heat exchanger 4 or the outdoor heat exchanger 2 of a refrigeration cycle on a single substrate 9.
A blower (not shown) that blows indoor air or outdoor air toward is provided. Then, the board 9 assembled as shown in the figure is slid and mounted toward the cabinet 1 having a housing shape, and the front panel 5 is mounted on the front surface of the indoor heat exchanger 4 to thereby provide the air conditioning. Machine B is completed. Incidentally, in this type of air conditioner B, so as not to mix and the room air and the outside air, the casing 3 _a by (partition plate), in the cabinet 1 is indoor heat exchanger chamber and the outdoor-side heat exchanger chamber It is divided into and. Then, in order to seal the said chamber inner heat exchanger chamber and the outdoor-side heat exchanger chamber, the seal member 7 is provided interposed between the cabinet 1 and the casing 3 _a. The sealing member 7 is made of shrinkable polyethylene foam or polyurethane foam, and is attached to _a casing 3a made of sheet metal or synthetic resin using an adhesive or a double-sided tape as shown in FIG. I have. Therefore, when the substrate 9 with respect to the cabinet 1 is mounted is slid, the seal member 7 as shown in FIG. 8, contract and close the space between the cabinet 1 and the casing 3 _a, whereby the indoor heat The heat exchanger room and the outdoor heat exchanger room are sealed to perform heat insulation or wind shielding between these rooms.

[0003]

An invention to be Solved] However, the above conventional air conditioner B, there is a case where such oil or dust is attached to the casing 3 _a surface during the assembly process. In such a case, the adhesive force to the seal member 7 becomes weak. Therefore, in order to strongly adhere the seal member 7 to the casing 3 _a is needed a work to keep the precleaned surface of the casing 3a. In addition, the work of accurately positioning and affixing the seal member 7 to _a predetermined position of the casing 3a also requires time and effort. Further, there is a situation in which the above-mentioned adhesive force gradually becomes weaker due to seasonal temperature changes and time-dependent changes, and the sealing member 7 itself is also affected by the temperature changes and deteriorates with time due to hydrolysis and weathering.
As a result, the heat insulation effect and the wind shielding effect have been reduced. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and has a partition plate and a sealing portion that partition and seal the interior of a cabinet into an indoor heat exchanger room and an outdoor heat exchanger room. An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner capable of assembling with good workability in a configuration in which an indoor heat exchanger chamber and an outdoor heat exchanger chamber are held in a reliable sealed state.

[0004]

The main means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above object is that the main point is that the inside of the cabinet is divided into an indoor heat exchanger room and an outdoor heat exchanger room. A sealing portion that engages with the outer surface of the partitioning plate to be partitioned or the protrusion of the outer surface, or the inner surface of the cabinet or the protrusion of the inner surface to seal the indoor heat exchanger room and the outdoor heat exchanger room. in indoor and outdoor integrated air conditioner comprising comprise, the sealing portion above the partition plate Wakashi

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention; It should be noted that the following embodiment is an example that embodies the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an indoor / outdoor integrated air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a structural view of the air conditioner as viewed from above, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an operation explanatory view showing a state where the seal plate of the casing is engaged with the inner surface of the cabinet, and FIG. 5 is another embodiment of the seal plate of the air conditioner. It is a state explanatory view showing an example. However, the same elements as those of the conventional indoor / outdoor integrated air conditioner B shown in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the indoor / outdoor integrated air conditioner A according to the present embodiment has substantially the same basic structure as the above-described conventional air conditioner B. Is that the conventional casing _3a and the sealing member 7
Instead of the conventional seal member 7 as shown in FIG.
That is, a casing 3 (partition plate) integrally formed by projecting the seal plate 8 (seal portion) having the function of (1) from the outer surface is provided. The casing 3 integrated with the seal plate 8 is made of elastic polypropylene. In addition, a thin portion 18 is formed on the seal plate 8 at the base of the casing 3 with the main body of the casing 3. In the air conditioner A, as shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the cabinet 1 has a casing 3 and an indoor heat exchanger room accommodating an indoor heat exchanger 4 and an outdoor heat exchanger accommodating an outdoor heat exchanger 2. It is divided into an instrument room. Also, the motor 15 penetrating through each heat exchanger room
A sirocco fan 14 and a propeller fan 13 accommodated in the orifice plate 12 are fixedly provided at each end of the drive shaft.

Accordingly, the substrate 9 provided with the indoor heat exchanger 4, the outdoor heat exchanger 2, the compressor 6, the casing 3 and the like shown in FIG. When mounted by sliding, the sealing plate 8 of the casing 3 engages with the inner surface of the cabinet 1.
(Or contact) and slide on this inner surface.
As shown in (1), it is elastically deformed, bent at the thin portion 18 and displaced to the position indicated by a '. On the other hand, when the board 9 is moved in the direction of arrow b in order to adjust the position of the board 9 with respect to the cabinet 1, for example, the bending direction of the sealing plate 8 changes at the thin portion 18 to the position shown by b '(broken line). Displace. As described above, if the casing 3 integrally provided with the seal plate 8 of the present embodiment is used for sealing the indoor heat exchanger chamber and the outdoor heat exchanger chamber, the air conditioner A can be assembled at the time of assembly. does not require the work to stick sponge-like seal member 7 as in the conventional casing 3 _a. The seal plate 8
Since the casing 3 is made of polypropylene or a synthetic resin mainly composed of polypropylene,
Deterioration due to the environment in which the air conditioner A is installed or a factor with the passage of time is extremely small, and the heat insulating effect and the wind shielding effect are not impaired as in the related art. Moreover, as described above, the sealing plate

The gap between them is sealed, and the sealing condition is easily and reliably assured.
Is preserved. In the above-described embodiment, the sealing plate 8 as a sealing portion made of an elastically deformable synthetic resin is provided integrally with the casing 3, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Cabinet 1 corresponding to the assembly position of casing 3
A seal plate (not shown) protruding toward the casing 3 is integrally provided on the inner surface of the cabinet 1. When the air conditioner is assembled, the seal plate of the cabinet 1 engages with the outer surface of the casing 3 so that the indoor heat is prevented. You may comprise so that an exchanger room and an outdoor heat exchanger room may be sealed. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, sealing plates 10 and 11 which are provided with thin portions 18 on the outer surface of the casing 3 and the inner surface of the cabinet 1 which face each other at the time of assembling and are elastically deformed are integrated with the respective casings 3 and the cabinet 1. Even when the seal plates 10 and 11 are engaged at the time of assembling, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be obtained.
