Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable floor setting, wall hanging and ceiling hanging to be performed without limitation of installation by a method wherein a water receptacle is integrally formed into an L-shape. CONSTITUTION:A fan casing 9 for guiding an interior air sucked through a suction port 5 to an upper installed heat exchanger 10 is fixed to an outer box 2 and a partition plate 11. A water receiving pan 12 is placed on the partition plate 11 and supported by the outer box 2 with the front panel 13. With this arrangement, the water receiving pan 12 is an integral L-shape formed product and it may also act as a vertical setting as well as a horizontal setting, so that its floor setting, wall hanging or ceiling hanging can be performed without any limitation. A replacement of the drain hose to the drain port 5 is not required and a troublesome operation can be reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner that can be installed on floors, walls and ceilings.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, vertically installed floor-mounted and wall-mounted systems and horizontally installed ceiling-mounted systems have each had 21 horizontal water trays on the floor of the room, as shown in FIG. In addition, there are also models that can be placed on the floor and hung on the ceiling, as shown in Figure 6.
It consisted of two parts: 1 water pan and 21 vertical water pan.

Furthermore, conventionally, each of the above-mentioned water trays was provided with a drain port at 22.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above-mentioned conventional air conditioners are limited by installation, and those with a two-part water tray have a large number of parts, resulting in poor assembly workability and man-hours.

Furthermore, each water tray requires a drain port, which increases the number of parts, and the installation requires replacing the drain hose attached to the drain port, which is inconvenient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to enable installation of a water tray of an air conditioner by placing it on the floor, hanging on a wall, or hanging on the ceiling without any restrictions on the shape of the water tray.

Moreover, the present invention does not require replacing the drain hose to the drain port, and aims to eliminate the trouble.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a water tray for an air conditioner that is integrally formed into an L-shape with heat insulation properties.

Further, in the present invention, the drain port of the water tray is provided at the corner of the L shape.

action The effects of the above means are as follows.

In the present invention, by integrally molding the water tray into an insulating L-shape, it can be installed on the floor, hung on the wall, or hung on the ceiling without any installation limitations.

Furthermore, the present invention can be installed without requiring replacement of the drain hose to the drain port.

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

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, ■ is the main body of the air conditioner, which is composed of a U-shaped outer box 2 and a board 3, and a front grill 4 detachably attached to the front surrounded by the outer box 2 and the board 3. is provided, and a suction port 5 is formed in the front grille 4. A mounting base 7 is provided on the board 3 to which the blower 6 is attached, and a fan 8 and a fan casing 9 guide indoor air sucked in from the suction port 5 to a heat exchanger 10 installed above. The fan casing 9 is
It is fixed to the outer box 2 and the partition plate 11, and furthermore, a water tray 12 is placed on the partition plate 11, and is held between the outer box 2 and the front panel 13. The heat-exchanged air that has passed through the heat exchanger 10 through the ventilation circuit formed by the water tray 12 and the outer box 2 is further transferred to the air outlet 15 formed in the air outlet grille 14 provided at the upper part.
In the above configuration, the water tray 12 is an L-shaped integrally molded product, and can be installed both vertically and horizontally, and can be placed on the floor, hung on a wall, or hung on the ceiling.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Here, description of the same parts as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a drain port provided in the water tray 12, which is fixed to the water tray 12 by appropriate means such as adhesive. The drain port 16 is provided on the surface of the partition plate 11 of the water tray 12, and is the drain.

In the above configuration, whether the air conditioner body 1 is installed vertically or horizontally, the drain port 16 can perform drainage treatment without filling the water tray 12 with water.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention has an L-shaped water tray, which reduces the number of parts and allows installation both vertically and horizontally. can be shared.

In addition, by providing a drain port in the L-shaped corner of the water tray, the drain hose attached to the drain port can be replaced and used as is in both vertical and horizontal installations, eliminating the inconvenience of replacing the drain hose and eliminating the need to replace the drain hose that is installed on each water tray. The number of conventional drains can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
