Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner.

  The main body of the air conditioner houses a heat exchanger and other components. The main body is designed and manufactured for each model and each size of the heat exchanger. A mold is prepared for each individual body. When makeup such as a pattern is applied to the side surface of the main body, a mold for the entire main body is manufactured for each type of makeup. The mold cost increases.

JP 2006-71223 A

  When the common part is formed as a component part among a plurality of main bodies, the mold of the common part is shared, and only the mold of the different part needs to be changed, so that the cost of the mold is reduced. For example, a side panel covering the side of the main body gives makeup to the side of the main body. Various makeup is provided according to the replacement of the side panel. Changing the makeup can be realized at low cost.

  In particular, if a claw is formed on the inward surface of the side panel during resin molding of the side panel, the outer surface of the side panel may be closed on the back side. The shrinkage creates a shallow depression on the outer surface of the side panel. The appearance of the air conditioner will be impaired.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner that can maintain a good appearance of a side panel that covers a side surface of a main body.

  One embodiment of the present invention provides a main body that accommodates a heat exchanger, a resin side panel that covers a side surface of the main body and has irregularities on an outer surface thereof, and a back side of the texture structure. And a claw formed on the side surface of the main body to enter an opening formed in a side surface of the main body and engage the side panel with the main body.

  When claws are formed on the inward surface of the side panel during resin molding of the side panel, the outer surface of the side panel may be closed on the back side. The shrinkage creates a shallow depression on the outer surface of the side panel. At this time, by providing a texture structure on the outer surface, it is possible to prevent the observer from recognizing the dent due to the shrinkage. Thus, the appearance of the air conditioner can be maintained well.

  The nail may be provided on the back side of the concave portion of the texture structure. The claw is disposed at a position straddling the back side of the concave portion. The nail is integrally molded with the side panel when molding the resin of the side panel. The thickness of the side panel is smaller in the concave portion of the texture structure than in the convex portion. The nail may be formed by a slide mold. Since the plate thickness of the concave portion is small, the concave portion is more easily cooled than the convex portion, and the claw (mainly, the resin near the base end portion of the claw) is efficiently cooled.

  The claw may be connected to the side panel while avoiding the back side of a location (ridge) where the thickness of the projection is maximum. Therefore, if the connection between the side panel and the claw is arranged so as to avoid the back side of the ridge line, the side panel is efficiently cooled.

  On the outer surface of the side panel, a glossy surface may be formed on a front side far from an installation surface (wall surface) on which a wall-mounted air conditioner is installed, and the texture structure may be provided on a rear side near the installation surface. . Thus, a shadow is formed on the outer surface of the side panel in the front-rear direction. The length of the side panel is visually reduced by the function of the shadow. The feeling of pressure disappears. An air conditioner can give a user a visually compact impression.

  The texture structure may be formed deeper toward the rear end. Thus, shading in the front-back direction is formed on the outer surface of the side panel. The reduction of the front-back length of the side panel can be further impressed to the user by such a shading function.

  An opening for receiving a projecting piece formed on the side panel may be defined on the front surface of the main body in accordance with the movement of the side panel. When the projection enters the opening, the front end of the side panel can be connected to the main body. Warpage of the side panel such that the front end of the side panel moves away from the side surface of the main body can be prevented.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to the apparatus of the indication as mentioned above, the favorable appearance of the side panel which covers the side surface of a main body can be maintained.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(1) Configuration of Air Conditioner FIG. 1 schematically shows a configuration of an air conditioner 11 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner 11 includes an indoor unit 12 and an outdoor unit 13. The indoor unit 12 is installed in, for example, an indoor space in a building. In addition, the indoor unit 12 may be installed in a space corresponding to the indoor space. An indoor heat exchanger 14 is incorporated in the indoor unit 12. The outdoor unit 13 incorporates a compressor 15, an outdoor heat exchanger 16, an expansion valve 17, and a four-way valve 18. The indoor heat exchanger 14, the compressor 15, the outdoor heat exchanger 16, the expansion valve 17, and the four-way valve 18 form a refrigeration circuit 19.

  The refrigeration circuit 19 includes a first circulation path 21. The first circulation path 21 connects the first port 18a and the second port 18b of the four-way valve 18 to each other. The compressor 15 is provided in the first circulation path 21. A suction pipe 15a of the compressor 15 is connected to a first port 18a of the four-way valve 18 via a refrigerant pipe. The gas refrigerant is supplied to the suction pipe 15a of the compressor 15 from the first port 18a. The compressor 15 compresses the low-pressure gas refrigerant to a predetermined pressure. A discharge pipe 15b of the compressor 15 is connected to a second port 18b of the four-way valve 18 via a refrigerant pipe. The gas refrigerant is supplied from the discharge pipe 15b of the compressor 15 to the second port 18b of the four-way valve 18. The refrigerant pipe may be a copper pipe, for example.

  The refrigeration circuit 19 further includes a second circulation path 22. The second circulation path 22 connects the third port 18c and the fourth port 18d of the four-way valve 18 to each other. The outdoor heat exchanger 16, the expansion valve 17, and the indoor heat exchanger 14 are sequentially incorporated in the second circulation path 22 from the third port 18c side. The outdoor heat exchanger 16 exchanges heat energy between the passing refrigerant and the surrounding air. The indoor heat exchanger 14 exchanges heat energy between the passing refrigerant and the surrounding air. The second circulation path 22 may be formed by a refrigerant pipe such as a copper pipe.

  A blower fan 23 is incorporated in the outdoor unit 13. The blower fan 23 ventilates the outdoor heat exchanger 16. The blower fan 23 generates an airflow according to the rotation of the impeller, for example. The airflow passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 16. The flow rate of the passing airflow is adjusted according to the rotation speed of the impeller.

  A blower fan 24 is incorporated in the indoor unit 12. The blower fan 24 ventilates the indoor heat exchanger 14. The blower fan 24 generates an airflow according to the rotation of the impeller. The indoor fan 12 draws indoor air into the indoor unit 12. The indoor air passes through the indoor heat exchanger 14 and exchanges heat with the refrigerant. Cool air or warm air generated by heat exchange is blown out from the indoor unit 12. The flow rate of the passing airflow is adjusted according to the rotation speed of the impeller.

  When the cooling operation is performed in the refrigeration circuit 19, the four-way valve 18 connects the second port 18b and the third port 18c to each other, and connects the first port 18a and the fourth port 18d to each other. Therefore, a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is supplied to the outdoor heat exchanger 16 from the discharge pipe 15b of the compressor 15. The refrigerant flows through the outdoor heat exchanger 16, the expansion valve 17, and the indoor heat exchanger 14 in this order. In the outdoor heat exchanger 16, heat is radiated from the refrigerant to the outside air. The refrigerant is reduced to a low pressure by the expansion valve 17. The decompressed refrigerant absorbs heat from the surrounding air in the indoor heat exchanger 14. Cold air is generated. The cool air is blown into the indoor space by the function of the blower fan 24.

  When the heating operation is performed in the refrigeration circuit 19, the four-way valve 18 connects the second port 18b and the fourth port 18d to each other, and connects the first port 18a and the third port 18c to each other. A high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is supplied from the compressor 15 to the indoor heat exchanger 14. The refrigerant flows sequentially through the indoor heat exchanger 14, the expansion valve 17, and the outdoor heat exchanger 16. In the indoor heat exchanger 14, heat is radiated from the refrigerant to the surrounding air. Warm air is generated. The warm air is blown into the indoor space by the function of the blower fan 24. The refrigerant is reduced to a low pressure by the expansion valve 17. The decompressed refrigerant absorbs heat from the surrounding air in the outdoor heat exchanger 16. Thereafter, the refrigerant returns to the compressor 15.

(2) Configuration of Indoor Unit FIG. 2 schematically shows the appearance of the indoor unit 12 according to one embodiment. An outer panel 27 covers the main body (housing) 26 of the indoor unit 12. An outlet 28 is formed on the lower surface of the main body 26. The outlet 28 opens toward the room. The rear surface of the main body 26 can be fixed to a vertical surface (for example, a wall surface in a room). Cold air or warm air is generated in the indoor heat exchanger 14, and the air flow of the cold air or warm air is blown out from the outlet 28.

  A pair of front and rear upper and lower wind direction plates 31a and 31b are arranged at the outlet 28. The upper and lower wind direction plates 31a and 31b can rotate around horizontal axes 32a and 32b parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body, respectively. The upper and lower wind direction plates 31a and 31b open and close the outlet 28 according to the rotation. The direction of the blown air flow can be changed according to the angles of the vertical wind direction plates 31a and 31b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a suction port 33 is formed in the main body 26. The suction port 33 opens on the front and top surfaces of the main body 26. The outer panel 27 can cover the suction port 33 at the front of the main body 26. The indoor air is taken into the main body 26 from the suction port 33 and supplied to the indoor heat exchanger 14. An air filter assembly (not shown) is attached to each of the suction ports 33 in front of the main body 26.

  The air filter assembly may include an air filter and a dust box. The air filter is held in a dust box. The dust box is detachably attached to the main body. When the dust box is set on the main body, the air filter is arranged over the entire surface of the suction port.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a blower fan 24 is rotatably supported by the main body 26. As the blower fan 24, for example, a cross flow fan is used. The blower fan 24 rotates around a rotation axis 41 parallel to the horizontal axes 32a and 32b. The rotation shaft 41 of the blower fan 24 extends in the horizontal direction when the main body 26 is installed. The blower fan 24 is arranged parallel to the outlet 28. A driving force around the rotation shaft 41 is transmitted to the blower fan 24 from a driving source (not shown). The drive source is supported by the main body 26. The airflow passes through the indoor heat exchanger 14 according to the rotation of the blower fan 24. As a result, a cool or warm airflow is generated. Cool air or warm air is blown out from the outlet 28.

  The indoor heat exchanger 14 includes a front body 14a and a rear body 14b. The front body 14 a is opposed to the blower fan 24 from the front side of the blower fan 24. The rear body 14b is opposed to the blower fan 24 from the rear side of the blower fan 24. The front body 14a and the rear body 14b are interconnected at the upper end. The front body 14a and the rear body 14b have a refrigerant pipe 42a. That is, the refrigerant pipe 42a extends parallel to the horizontal axes 32a, 32b, is folded back at the left and right ends of the main body 26 in front view, extends again parallel to the horizontal axes 32a, 32b, and is folded back at the left and right ends of the main body 26 again in front view. These are repeated. The refrigerant pipe 42a forms a part of the second circulation path 22. A plurality of radiation fins 42b are connected to the refrigerant pipe 42a. The refrigerant pipe 42a and the radiation fins 42b can be formed from a metal material such as copper or aluminum. Heat exchange is realized between the refrigerant and the air through the refrigerant pipe 42a and the radiation fins 42b.

  The main body 26 includes a front member 57 that defines an opening (a right opening 56a and a left opening 56b) of the air filter assembly. The front member 57 includes a main body 58 that extends in the horizontal direction and defines a lower edge of the attachment / detachment ports 56a and 56b and an upper edge of the outlet 28. The main body 58 supports the air filter assembly. The main body 58 is formed with a right wall body 59, a central wall body 61, and a left wall body 62 which are integrated with the main body 58 and continue from the main body 58. The right wall body 59, the center wall body 61, and the left wall body 62 extend vertically in a posture orthogonal to the horizontal axes 32a and 32b. Between the right wall body 59 and the central wall body 61, a right-side detachable opening 56a is defined. A detachable opening 56b on the left side is defined between the center wall 61 and the left wall 62.

  The front member 57 extends in the horizontal direction from the front end to the mating surface 63 at the rear end, and extends vertically from the upper surface body 64 serving as the upper edge of the attachment / detachment ports 56a, 56b, and from the main body 58 and the upper surface body 64, It has a right side body 65 forming the right side surface of the main body 26, and a left side body 66 continuously extending vertically from the main body 58 and the upper surface body 64 and forming the left side surface of the main body 26. As shown in FIG. 5, the left side surface body 66 is cut out by a notch 67 extending forward from the mating surface 63. It is desirable that the notch 67 be as close to the front end of the left side body 66 as possible. The side member 68 is disposed between the left side body 66 and the left wall body 62. The side member 68 is connected to the front member 57 at the mating surface 63. The front member 57 is coupled to the front end of the side member 68 so as to be separable from the side member 68 according to the forward movement. For example, a screw may be used for the connection. Here, the surface of the side member 68 that is not on the indoor heat exchanger 14 side is referred to as a main body side surface 26b. The main body side surface 26b is connected to the outer side surface 66a of the left side body 66 while closing the notch 67 with a shielding plate 71 extending forward from the mating surface 63.

  The side member 68 extends between the outer plate 72 and the outer plate 72, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal axes 32 a and 32 b, and extends in parallel with the outer plate 72 while being arranged inside at a predetermined interval from the outer plate 72. And an inner plate 74 for partitioning the accommodation space 73. The accommodation space 73 accommodates, for example, an electrical component box. Thus, the electrical component box is supported by the side members 68. The front member 57 defines a window hole 75 that opens the electrical component box toward the front. For example, a rear member (not shown) of the main body 26 is coupled to a rear end of the side member 68. The rear member supports, for example, the indoor heat exchanger 14. The main body 26 may be fixed to a wall surface in a room by a rear member.

  A side panel 76 is connected to the side member 68. The side panel 76 is formed from a resin material. The side panel 76 covers the outer side surface 66 a of the left side body 66 and the main body side surface 26 b of the side member 68 including the shielding plate 71. On the outer surface of the side panel 76, a glossy surface 77 is formed on the front side far from the installation surface (wall surface in the room), and a texture structure 78 is formed on the rear side near the installation surface. The texture structure 78 draws a pattern. The texture structure 78 is formed deeper toward the rear end. The depth may be specified by, for example, the height difference between the irregularities.

  The shielding plate 71 is continuous from the outer plate 72. A wall 79 is formed at the front end of the shielding plate 71. The wall body 79 is abutted on the back side of the side panel 76 at the upper end. A rib 81 is formed on the shielding plate 71. The rib 81 extends in the horizontal direction. The rib 81 is connected to the front end of the left side body 66 and the wall body 79. The rib 81 increases the strength of the shielding plate 71.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the wall 79 has a receiving surface 79 a that rises vertically outward from the outer surface 66 a of the left side body 66. The rear end of the left side body 66 abuts against the receiving surface 79a.

  As shown in FIG. 7, claws 83 a, 83 b, and 83 c are formed on the inward surface of the side panel 76 behind the specific area of the texture structure 78. The claws 83a, 83b, 83c may be continuous with the inward surface of the side panel 76 based on integral molding of a resin material. The claws 83a, 83b, 83c are provided on the inward surface of the side panel 76 at intervals. Here, openings 84a, 84b, 84c are formed in the outer plate 72 of the side member 68 on the side surface 26b of the main body 26. When attaching the side panel 76 to the side member 68, the side panel 76 is moved in the front-rear direction between the front position and the rear position with respect to the side member 68 in a state where the side panel 76 is overlaid on the main body side surface 26b of the side member 68. . The openings 84a, 84b, 84c are formed at positions and sizes that allow the claws 83a, 83b, 83c to enter when the side panel 76 at the front position is overlaid on the side member 68. Each of the claws 83a, 83b, 83c is connected at the front end to the inward surface of the side panel 76. When the side panel 76 is relatively displaced with respect to the side member 68 and moved from the front position to the rear position, the claws 83a, 83b, 83 c is engaged with the back side of the outer plate 72. The claws 83 a, 83 b, and 83 c may generate an elastic force that increases the contact pressure against the outer plate 72 when engaging with the outer plate 72.

  Openings 85a and 85b are defined on the front surface 68a of the side member 68. Protrusions 86a and 86b are formed on the side panel 76 corresponding to the openings 85a and 85b. The protruding pieces 86a and 86b extend in parallel to the operation direction of the side panel 76. When the side panel 76 is overlaid on the side member 68 at the front position, the protruding pieces 86a, 86b are positioned with respect to the corresponding openings 85a, 85b, and face the openings 85a, 85b at the tips. When the side panel 76 is moved from the front position to the rear position, the projections 86a, 86b are received in the openings 85a, 85b.

  A plate piece 87 is further formed on the side panel 76. The plate piece 87 extends from the inward surface of the side panel 76 along the vertical plane parallel to the horizontal axes 32a and 32b. When the side panel 76 is positioned at the rear position, the plate piece 87 is overlaid on the front surface 57 a of the front member 57. A female screw is arranged on the front surface 57a. A screw hole may be formed in the front surface 57a, and a nut may be fixed to the back side of the front surface 57a. The screw passes through the plate piece 87 and is screwed into the female screw. Thus, the plate piece 87 is screwed to the front member 57.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the claw 83a is connected to the base 91 that is continuous with the inward surface of the side panel 76, and is held on the base 91 at a predetermined interval from the inward surface of the side panel 76. And a claw body 92. The base 91 has a first leg 93a fixed to the side panel 76, and a second leg 93b fixed to the side panel 76 at a position away from the first leg 93a. The first leg 93a and the second leg 93b are formed in a wall shape extending in parallel with each other, and rise vertically inward from the inward surface of the side panel 76. The first leg 93a and the second leg 93b are connected to each other by a reinforcing plate 94 extending parallel to the inward surface of the side panel 76. A pair of reinforcing ribs 95 orthogonal to the inward surfaces of the second leg 93b and the side panel 76 are coupled to the second leg 93b. The base 91 has a uniform width w in the front-rear direction.

  The claw body 92 includes a holding plate 96 that is continuous from the first leg 93a of the base 91, and a guide plate 97 that is separated from the inward surface of the side panel 76 as the distance from the holding plate 96 is continuously increased from the tip of the holding plate 96. . The holding plate 96 extends in parallel with the inward surface of the side panel 76 and defines a holding surface 96a facing the inward surface. When the side panel 76 is attached to the side member 68 at a predetermined position, the outer plate 72 of the side member 68 is sandwiched between the side panel 76 and the holding surface 96a. The guide plate 97 defines an inclined surface 97a that is continuous from the holding surface 96a and that moves away from the inward surface of the side panel 76 as the distance from the holding surface 96a increases. When the side panel 76 is moved from the front position to the rear position with respect to the side member 68, the outer plate 72 of the side member 68 is guided by the inclined surface 97a and guided to the space between the holding surface 96a and the inward surface. . The holding surface 96a has a width s larger than the width w of the base 91 and extends outside the base 91. Therefore, when the base 91 enters the opening having the width w, the holding surface 96a sandwiches the outer plate 72 between the holding surface 96a and the inward surface.

  The claw 83a is provided on the back side of the texture structure 78. The first leg 93a, the second leg 93b, and the reinforcing rib 95 are arranged so as not to overlap the back side of the ridge line 98. Here, the first leg 93a and the second leg 93b are connected to the side panel 76 at a separated position and are connected to each other by the reinforcing plate 94. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The first leg 93a and the second leg 93b) are arranged at positions straddling the back side of the concave portion of the texture structure 78.

(3) Operation of Indoor Unit When the blower fan 24 operates, air is sucked into the main body 26 from the suction port 33. In the main body 26, an airflow is generated from the suction port 33 toward the air outlet 28. The airflow passes through the indoor heat exchanger 14 after passing through the air filter. During the cooling operation, the air is cooled by the indoor heat exchanger 14 and blown out from the outlet 28. During the heating operation, the air is heated by the indoor heat exchanger 14 and blown out from the outlet 28. When the airflow passes through the air filter, dust larger than the mesh size of the mesh sheet cannot pass through the mesh. Thus, dust and the like are removed from the airflow flowing toward the indoor heat exchanger 14. A clean airflow flows into the indoor heat exchanger 14. Cool air or warm air of clean air is blown from the air outlet 28.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when assembling the main body 26, the front member 57 and the side members 68 are joined. The front member 57 and the side members 68 are made of, for example, individually injection-molded resin materials. At this time, when the shrinkage of the front member 57 after molding increases, the left side body 66 of the front member 57 is displaced along the mating surface 63. The outer side surface 66a of the left side body 66 is retracted inward from the main body side surface 26b of the side member 68. Therefore, a gap is generated between the outer side surface 66a of the left side body 66 and the side panel 76. At this time, since the shielding plate 71 can support the side panel 76 without being displaced, the bending of the side panel 76 is prevented. Even if the heat shrinkage of the front member 57 increases, good design properties can be ensured.

  The claw 83a is integrally molded with the side panel 76 during the resin molding of the side panel 76. The thickness of the side panel 76 is smaller in the concave portions of the texture structure 78 than in the convex portions. In establishing a shape that straddles the back side of the recess, the back side of the recess and the claw 83a are formed by a slide mold. Since the plate thickness of the concave portion is small, the concave portion is more easily cooled than the convex portion, and the claw 83a is efficiently cooled.

  The thickness of the side panel 76 is maximized at the convex ridge line 98. Therefore, if the connection between the side panel 76 and the claw 83a is arranged so as to avoid the back side of the ridge line 98, the side panel 76 is efficiently cooled.

  On the outer surface of the side panel 76, a glossy surface 77 is formed on the front side, and a texture structure 78 is formed on the rear side. Thus, a shadow is formed on the outer surface of the side panel 76 in the front-rear direction. The length of the side panel 76 is visually reduced by the function of the shadow. The feeling of pressure disappears. The air conditioner 11 can give a user a visually compact impression. In particular, the glossy surface 77 is visually noticeably bent due to the light condition. Therefore, if the bending is suppressed by the side panel 76 as described above, good design can be ensured.

  As described above, the texture structure 78 is formed deeper toward the rear end. In this way, shading in the front-rear direction is formed on the outer surface of the side panel 76. The reduction of the front-back length of the side panel 76 can be further impressed to the user by such a shading function.

  When the side panel 76 is connected to the side member 68, the back surface (inwardly facing surface) of the side panel 76 is supported by the wall 79 of the side member 68. When the front member 57 contracts, the left side body 66 of the front member 57 is displaced relative to the side member 68 accordingly. The displacement of the left side body 66 is allowed within the range (expansion) of the receiving surface 79a. Thus, variation in the dimensions of the front member 57 is allowed. Even if the dimensions vary, the bending of the side panel 76 is reliably avoided.

  If the claws 83a, 83b, 83c are formed on the inward surface of the side panel 76 during the resin molding of the side panel 76, the outer surface of the side panel 76 may be shrunk on the back side. The shrinkage creates a shallow depression in the outer surface of the side panel 76. At this time, since the texture structure 78 on the outer surface causes irregular reflection of light, the observer cannot visually recognize the dent. Thus, the appearance of the air conditioner 11 can be maintained well.

  When the projecting pieces 86a, 86b enter the openings 85a, 85b in mounting the side panel 76, the front end of the side panel 76 is connected to the side member 68. Warpage of the side panel 76 such that the front end of the side panel 76 moves away from the main body side surface 26b of the side member 68 can be prevented.

  When the plate piece 87 is screwed to the front surface 57a of the front member 57, the movement of the side panel 76 is prevented. Therefore, the engagement of the pawls 83a, 83b, and 83c with the outer plate 72 of the side member 68 can be reliably maintained.
