Description

  The present invention relates to a replacement filter for an air conditioner, and more particularly, to a replacement filter for an air conditioner in which the overall dimensions can be adjusted.

  For example, a filter is attached to the air inlet of a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, but this filter must be replaced with a new one when its life has expired due to clogging with dust or generation of mold. And when it replaces with this new thing, it is performed using the filter for replacement.

  By the way, although this replacement filter is provided by each company, each of the filters provided by each company has a size suitable only for its own air conditioner. Therefore, only genuine products can be used.

For this reason, when a general consumer purchases a replacement filter at a store or the like, it has to find a genuine product, and it cannot be purchased especially at a store with a small number of items, which is extremely inconvenient. . In addition, since there are many types of air conditioners, it is uneconomical for dealers to stock a large number of genuine products. Therefore, there has been a demand for improvement of these problems.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is capable of adjusting the overall dimensions, so that all types of air conditioners provided by each company can be accommodated with one type of filter. It is intended to provide a replacement filter for an air conditioner that can be made.

  Therefore, the gist of the present invention is that a square panel filter is divided into four filter parts by dividing the central part vertically and horizontally, and between the filter parts located on the left and right of the upper part and the lower part, respectively. In addition, the expansion and contraction pleat material in which the peaks and valleys are alternately continuous is attached so that the ridge line of the peaks extends in the vertical direction, and between the filter portions located on the left and right of the upper portion and the filter portions located on the left and right sides of the lower portion. A pair of stretchable pleats in which peaks and troughs are alternately arranged, with a length smaller than the distance between the outer ends when the left and right filter parts of the upper part and the lower part are enlarged to the maximum. The ridgeline of the mountain is slidably superposed so that the ridgeline of the mountain extends in the left-right direction, and one end side of each lengthwise direction is connected to and attached to the upper and lower filter parts, and the four sheets Filters Between each other in air conditioning replacement filter, characterized by comprising attaching a guide member for guiding the scaling of intervals between each other while holding the same plane.

  In the above configuration, the panel filter may be a pleated filter.

  Further, in the above configuration, the guide member slides over a substrate having a guide ring attached to each outer surface of the adjacent filter portion and a guide ring of the substrate attached to each of the adjacent filter portions. A guide member including a guide rod that is freely inserted may be used.

  Further, in the above configuration, the guide member is a guide member composed of a frame attached between adjacent filter parts, and the guide member attached between the filter parts located on the left and right of the upper part and the lower part is stretchable. This is a guide member that consists of a frame that has a rectangular shape in plan view surrounding the pleat material and that allows the space between the long sides to be freely expanded and contracted. In the guide member attached between the two, a rectangular shape in plan view surrounding the periphery excluding the central portion of each length direction of the pair of slidable superposed pleat materials is formed, and the interval between the long side portions is set. It may be a guide member made of a frame that can be expanded and contracted.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the overall dimensions can be adjusted to appropriate dimensions by changing the interval between the four filter portions. Therefore, it is possible to cope with all of the several types of air conditioners provided by each company with a single type of filter, thereby resolving the above conventional problems.
