Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an integrated air conditioner installed in a window or the like.

Conventional technology Normally, integrated air conditioners are characterized by easy installation by being directly attached to a window or wall hole, but since the window in the front screen of the air conditioner is blocked, the amount of daylight is reduced. At the same time, the compressed root sound, which is a large sound source in the air conditioner itself, easily penetrates into the room beyond the partition wall within the main body, making it difficult to reduce noise.

Therefore, we have developed an air conditioner that uses a connecting cylinder to improve lighting and sound insulation (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1981-81350), and an integrated type that reduces noise by improving the sound insulation of indoor and outdoor partition plates. An air conditioner (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-140835) has been devised.

An air conditioner with improved lighting performance was constructed as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

In the figure, a main body 101 of the air conditioner is composed of an indoor unit 102, an outdoor unit 103, and a connecting cylinder 104 that connects these units. The indoor unit 102 includes an evaporator 105 in a first housing 102a.
A drain pan 108 is provided below the evaporator 105 to which a drain pipe 107 is connected, and a drain pump 109 is connected to the middle of the drain pipe 107. In addition, the outdoor unit 1
03, a condenser 110 and an outdoor blower 111 equipped with a slinger ring are provided facing each other in a second housing 103a, and a compressor 112 is housed therein. Indoor/outdoor unit 102.10 formed in this way
The upper centers of 3 are connected by the connecting cylinder 104.

The length of this connecting cylinder 104 is formed into a rectangular cylinder shape, and the evaporator 105, condenser 110, compressor 112
Refrigerant piping 113 that communicates with etc. and constitutes a refrigeration cycle.
and electrical wiring connecting the power supply to the indoor, outside blowers 106, 111, compressor 112, operation panel 114 provided on the indoor unit, etc., and drain water led from the drain pan 108 to the upper part of the condenser 110. A drainage pipe 107 and the like for dispersing water is connected. Note that 115 is a partition wall that prevents the air circulating within both units 102 and 103 from entering each other.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above structure, in order to install the air conditioner main body 101 on the window 116, the indoor unit 102 is placed on the indoor side of the air-conditioned room, and the connecting cylinder 104 is hung on the lower corner of the window 116. Stop. The main body 101 is in a hanging state, but the back side 102b of the first housing 102a and the front side 103 of the second housing 103a are
The length of the connecting cylinder 104 must be adjusted in order to install the connecting cylinders 104 so as to contact the walls below the windows 116, respectively.

Furthermore, since the indoor unit 102 protrudes below the window 116, there is also the drawback that the living space near the bottom of the window 116 is reduced.

Further, when the main body 101 is operated, the drain water generated from the evaporator 105 is pumped into the drain pan 10 by the drain pump 109.
The water must be pumped up to the height of the connecting cylinder 104 installed at the lower corner of the window 116 above B. If the drain pump 109 stops for some reason, the drain pan 108
There was a problem in that drain water overflowed and dripped below the indoor unit 102, potentially staining the indoor floor surface.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention connects a horizontally long indoor unit and a vertically long outdoor unit in an L shape, and connects the indoor unit so that the lower end of the evaporator is on the outdoor side. It is provided diagonally at the bottom, with a stabilizer that can change the angle at the center of the U-shaped ventilation passage, a blower that can rotate forward and backward, and a fixture that can be moved in the depth direction on the lower side of the lower surface of the indoor unit.

Effect The effect of this technical means is as follows. In other words, since the horizontally elongated indoor unit and the vertically elongated outdoor unit are joined in an L-shape, there is no need to adjust the joint relationship between the indoor and outdoor units in response to changes in the thickness of windows and walls during installation. The lower end of the evaporator is installed diagonally to the lower end of the indoor unit, which reduces the height of the indoor unit, improves lighting and indoor livability, and directs the drain water that collects on the bottom of the evaporator to the outside (in order to pump water). There is no need for a drainage pump, and there is no possibility of staining the indoor floor due to the drainage pump stopping.Furthermore, there is a stabilizer that can change the angle in the center of the U-shaped ventilation passage in the indoor unit, and a blower that can rotate forward and backward. Because of this, the blowing direction can be switched up or down depending on the installation height or cooling/heating, and the blowing direction with higher comfort can be selected.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, 1 is a main body of an integrated air conditioner, which is constructed by joining a horizontally long indoor unit 2 and a vertically long outdoor unit 3 into an L-shape. A front grill 6 is provided on the front surface of the indoor unit 2 and has an indoor air outlet 4 at the top and an indoor air intake 5 at the lower side. is provided. The inside of the indoor unit 2 has a lower flow path 9 on the suction side separated by an indoor partition plate 8.
and an upper flow passage 1o which is the blowout side, forming a U-shaped ventilation passage, and at the tip of the partition plate 8, a stabilizer 11 that can change the angle is oriented upward, and the air is sucked in from the lower flow passage 9. Make a U-turn and blow out to the upper flow path 1o (the solid line in the figure), and in some cases, the stabilizer 11
is directed downward, and the air sucked in from the upper flow path 10 is directed downward to the lower flow path 9.
An indoor fan 12 that can be rotated in forward and reverse directions (air direction indicated by the broken line in the figure); an indoor motor 1 that drives the indoor fan 12;
3. An indoor air guide 14 is provided, and an evaporator 15 is provided at an angle in the center of the lower flow path 9 so that the lower end faces outside the room. A drain pan 17 is provided to which is connected a drain pipe 16 that naturally leads to the outdoor side. In addition, there is a long hole in the depth direction near the center on the bottom of the indoor unit 2 (not shown).
A fixing tool 19 is provided, which has a screw that slides along the hole and fixes it in any position.

Furthermore, inside the outdoor unit 3, a condenser 20 and an outdoor blower 21 equipped with a slinger ring are provided facing each other, and an outdoor motor 22 for driving the outdoor blower 21, an outdoor air guider 23, and a compressor. 24
is accommodated.

An outside air outlet 25 is provided on the back side facing the condenser 20, and an inlet 26 is provided on the side surface of the outdoor unit 3.

Since it is an integrated air conditioner configured in this way, the refrigeration cycle operation is performed by turning on the power switch attached to the operation unit 7, and the air conditioning room can be cooled and heated, and the indoor air blowing direction can be adjusted up or down. You can get a more comfortable space by choosing.

Furthermore, in order to install the main body 1 of the above-mentioned integrated air conditioner, the indoor unit 2 is placed on the side of the air-conditioned room, and the outdoor unit 3 is installed at the bottom of the window 31 so that the front surface is in contact with the outer wall 30. Slide the fixture 19 provided on the lower side of the bottom surface of the unit 2, and tighten the screws of the fixture 19 at a position where the lower frame of the window 31 or the wall 3o is held between the fixture 19 and the front surface of the outdoor unit 3. This securely fixes the main body 1. Furthermore, the installation is completed by closing the window 31 that opens and closes vertically and joining it to the top surface of the main body 1, and attaching the shielding plates 32 to the openings formed on the left and right sides of the main body 1.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention has a horizontally elongated indoor unit and a vertically elongated outdoor unit joined into an L-shaped LT5, so installation is sometimes difficult due to the presence of a large sound source.
.

Not only can the compressor inside the outdoor unit be insulated by the wall, reducing noise, but the blowing direction can be selected up or down by changing the angle of the stabilizer or the rotation direction of the indoor blower, and the evaporator can also be installed diagonally. The installation reduces the height of the indoor unit and improves daylighting, and by increasing the distance between the evaporator and the indoor blower by tilting it, turbulence noise in the indoor air duct is kept low, and the height difference also reduces the outdoor hedrine water. It can be installed reliably by simply sliding the fixing device regardless of the wall thickness without polluting the indoor floor, and the small volume that protrudes into the room improves livability. It has various effects such as increasing the
