Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an air intake grill provided on the front panel of an air conditioner.

[Conventional example]

Recently, emphasis has been placed on the design effect of this type of air intake grill, and especially in wall-mounted indoor units, when looking up from below, the horizontal bars that make up the grill appear to be arranged at even intervals. In order to make it look like this, as shown in FIG. 2, the intervals between the horizontal bars 1 are made to gradually widen from the bottom to the top.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, if the intervals between the horizontal bars 1 are gradually widened in this way, the internal structure of the dust removal filter etc. becomes easier to see in the upper part where the intervals are wide, which is even more detrimental to the design.
Of course, in order to make the internal structure more difficult to see, it would be possible to make each horizontal bar 1' slope as shown in Figure 3, but forming this would require a complicated mold, so it is not necessarily a good idea. do not have.

This invention aims to solve these conventional drawbacks.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, in this invention, the interval between each horizontal bar is gradually widened as one goes downwards or upwards, and the depth dimension of each horizontal bar is gradually widened accordingly. .

〔Example〕

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG.

In the drawings, 10 is a front panel that is placed over the front part of the main body housing (not shown), 11 is a heat exchanger provided in the main body housing, and 12 is a dust removal filter detachably attached to the back side of the front panel 11. be.

At a predetermined portion of the front panel 10, that is, a portion facing the heat exchanger 11, an air suction grille 14 is formed by arranging a plurality of horizontal bars 13 in parallel with each other. In this case, the horizontal bars 13... are arranged so that the interval T gradually increases from the bottom to the top as shown in the figure, and the depth dimension D also changes from the bottom to the top. It is formed so that it gradually increases in size.

[Effect of idea]

In this way, according to this invention, each horizontal bar 13...
By making the interval T and the depth dimension D gradually increase from the bottom to the top, especially in a wall-mounted indoor unit that is installed at a position higher than overhead, when looking up at it,
The horizontal bars 13... appear to be arranged at equal intervals, and the dust filters 12 and heat exchangers 1
An air intake grille that serves as a cover for the internal structure of the first class is obtained.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of this invention.
FIGS. 2 and 3 are schematic sectional views showing a conventional example. In the figure, 10 is the front panel, 11 is the heat exchanger, 1
2 is a dust filter, 13 is a horizontal bar, and 14 is an air suction grill.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] A front panel consisting of a plurality of horizontal bars arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals and attached to the front surface of a main body housing containing a heat exchanger, etc., at a portion corresponding to the heat exchanger. In the air intake grill of the air conditioner provided, the interval between the horizontal bars is gradually widened from the bottom to the top, and the depth dimension of the horizontal bars is similarly gradually increased. Air intake grill of air conditioner.
