2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional air conditioner, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 77718.

Hereinafter, the conventional air conditioner will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a conventional air conditioner, and FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of a main part showing a method of attaching a partition filter plate.

7 and 8, reference numeral 1 denotes a unit showing an air conditioner main body, 2 denotes a separator which divides the inside of the unit 1 back and forth, and forms a front space 3 and a rear space 4. 5 is a heat exchanger located in the front space 3 and 6 is a blower located in the rear space 4. Reference numeral 7 denotes a drain pipe for discharging the condensed water generated from the heat exchanger 5 to the outside of the room to be air-conditioned, and 8 denotes a refrigerant pipe connected to the outdoor unit.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a suction port on the rear lower surface of the unit 1 and has a suction port grill 9a and a filter 10 for a suction port for collecting coarse dust in the room to be air-conditioned. Reference numeral 11 denotes an outlet on the front of the unit 1. Reference numeral 12 denotes a partition filter plate that partitions the rear space 4 into a blower 6 side and a pipe connection space for connecting the drain pipe 7 and the refrigerant pipe 8. Reference numeral 13 denotes a pipe outlet for taking out the drain pipe 7 and the refrigerant pipe 8 from the unit 1. An electrical box 14 is provided with a system for controlling the operation of the air conditioner.

The operation of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described below. First, the blower 6 rotates, and the air in the room to be air-conditioned is sucked in from the suction port 9 on the rear lower surface of the unit 1, and the air exchanged by the heat exchanger 5 is blown out from the air outlet 11 to air-condition the room to be air-conditioned. When the unit 1 is installed in the room to be air-conditioned, in the market, the drain pipe 7
It is required that the refrigerant pipe 8 be invisible, so that the unit 1 has a space for connecting the pipe.

The drain pipe 7 and the refrigerant pipe 8 connected in the unit 1 go out of the pipe outlet 13. The pipe outlet 13 can be taken out not only from the rear surface but also from the side surface or the top surface depending on the installation method in the room to be air-conditioned.
In addition, an electric wire is introduced from the pipe outlet 13 to the electrical box 14 for connection to a power supply for operating the air conditioner and an outdoor unit.

Therefore, the pipe outlet 13 is slightly opened to facilitate pipe connection. Therefore, blower 6
Is rotated, and the sucked air does not pass through the suction filter 10 and is sucked in by a gap between the pipe outlet 13 and the connection pipe, and sometimes the dust or oil is sucked and the blower 6 cannot rotate or the heat exchanger 5 The filter plate for partitioning 1
2 is provided, and a pipe outlet 13 is provided by a filter plate 12 for partitioning.
The dust and oil sucked in by the gap between the pipe and the connecting pipe are prevented from flowing to the blower 6 side.

Further, the suction area is increased by the partition filter plate 12 to improve the performance of the blower 6. Furthermore, by making the partition filter plate 12 vertically detachable, the piping connection space when installing the air conditioner is increased, and the workability is improved.

[0010]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional construction, since the partitioning filter plate 12 is detachably attached to the unit 1, the pipe connection work and the electrical equipment BO are required.
There is a drawback in that the wiring to X14 must be removed and stored one by one.

The present invention solves the conventional problems, and does not require removal and storage of the partition filter plate during pipe connection work and wiring work to the electrical box, and eliminates the need for pipe connection work and wiring work to the electrical box. An object is to provide an air conditioner that can be improved.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this object, an air conditioner according to the present invention comprises a filter plate for partitioning a rear space into a blower side and a pipe connection space, and a suction port provided at a suction port. And a partition filter plate is fixed to the suction port filter.

The partition filter plate is detachable from the suction port filter. Further, a guider protrudingly provided on a side surface of the partitioning filter plate, and a slit for inserting the guider provided in the suction port filter are provided, and the guider and the slit are arranged such that the partitioning filter plate has the suction port. The partition filter plate is formed so as to be stable in a state in which it falls down to the mouth filter side and in a state in which the partition filter plate stands perpendicular to the suction port filter.

[0014]

With the air conditioner of the present invention, the partition filter plate is fixed to the suction filter, so that the partition filter plate can be removed from the unit simply by opening the suction grill and removing the suction filter. 1 filter plate for partition
The piping connection space can be secured without removing one by one, and the workability of piping connection work and wiring work to the electrical box can be improved.

Further, by making the partition filter plate detachable from the suction port filter, removing the partition filter plate when cleaning the filter facilitates the cleaning.

[0016] Further, a guider protruding from a side surface of the partition filter plate is provided, and a slit provided in the suction port filter and into which the guider is inserted is provided. Is formed so as to be stable in a state in which it is tilted to the suction port filter side and in a state in which the partitioning filter plate stands vertically to the suction port filter, so that piping connection work and electrical equipment BOX can be performed.
If the partitioning filter plate is moved down to the suction filter side during the wiring work to the device, the work is not hindered and the work is facilitated.
