Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the manner in which a filter assembly is set in place on the main body of an air conditioner and removed therefrom and to reduce the area required for the installation by laterally providing guide rails one above an air inlet formed in one side of the main body and the other under the air inlet and each rail in parallel with the other and by setting in place a filter assembly with a flange by fitting the flange in the guide rails. CONSTITUTION:A guide rail 11 is placed above an air inlet 10 and a guide rail 12 under the air inlet 10. Each of the guide rails 11, 12 has the shape of substantially the letter U in cross section and is placed with the open side facing the open side of the other and in parallel with the other. A filter assembly 13 is fitted in and between the two guide rails 11, 12. This filter assembly 13 comprises filter elements 14 each having the shape of substantially the letter V, a flange 15 to which the filter elements 14 are fixed, and a packing 16 stuck to the flange 15 on the opposite side from the filter elements 14. As a result, the area required for the installation is reduced and the filter assembly 13 can be set in place and removed in a simple manner.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a ceiling-mounted air conditioner that has a small installation area and allows a filter device to be easily attached and detached.

(Prior Art) As a ceiling-embedded air conditioner installed on the ceiling of a building, as shown in FIG. Installation, connecting the connecting flange 5 extending from the filter box 3 to the air conditioner main body 1, or connecting the 8th
As shown in the figure, an air conditioner main body 1 and a filter box 3 containing a high-performance filter 2 and a pre-filter 6 are attached to a pedestal 4, and a connecting flange 5 extending from the filter box 3 is connected to the air conditioner main body 1. As is known, these ceiling-mounted air conditioners are sealed at two places: between the air conditioner body 1 and the filter box 3, and between the high-performance filter 2 and the filter box 3. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the ceiling-embedded air conditioner of the above type, the air conditioner main body and the filter box are arranged consecutively on the mount, which increases the number of assembly steps and the installation area. It is difficult to seal between the air conditioner main body and the filter box, and there are restrictions on placement, making it a troublesome task to take the high-performance filter in and out of the filter box.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ceiling-embedded air conditioner in which a filter device can be easily attached and detached from the air conditioner main body, and the installation area can be reduced. With the goal.

[Structure of the invention]

The ceiling-embedded air conditioner of the present invention has guide rails horizontally installed above and below the air intake port provided on one side of the air conditioner main body, and guides the filter device provided with the flange portion. It is configured by attaching the flange portion to the rail so that it engages with the rail.

(Function) In the ceiling-embedded air conditioner of the present invention, the filter device is attached to the flange portion of the guide rail horizontally installed above and below the air inlet provided on one side of the air conditioner body. Since it is attached to the air conditioner main body by inserting it, there is only one sealing part between the filter device and the air conditioner main body, which improves the cleanliness accordingly. It is possible to easily attach and detach the device and to reduce the installation area.

(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts in Figure 2 as in Figure 2.

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 10 and 10 indicate air intake ports provided on one side of the air conditioner main body 1, and these air intake ports 1
A guide rail 11 is arranged above the air intake port 10, and a guide rail 12 is arranged below the air intake port 10. The guide rails 11 and 12 each have a U-shaped cross section, and are disposed so that their opening sides face each other and remain parallel to each other. A filter device 13 is inserted between the guide rail 11 and the guide rail 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, the filter device 13 is composed of V-shaped filter media 14, a flange 15 for fixing these filter media 14, and a packing 16 attached to the surface of the flange 15 on the opposite side of the filter media 14. ing.

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 17 and 18 are filter guides.

Therefore, in order to install a ceiling-embedded air conditioner on the ceiling, first place the air conditioner body 1 on the pedestal 4, install it, and then attach the guide rail 11 provided on one side of the air conditioner body 1.
The flange 15 of the filter device 13 is inserted between the guide rail 12 and the guide rail 12, and the filter device 13 is placed in a position facing the air suction port 10.

When operating a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, the air conditioner body 1
Air is sucked into the air conditioner main body 1 through the air suction port 10 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3 by the fan device 17 provided therein. The filter device 13 provided in between is pressed toward the air conditioner main body 1 side, and the gasket 16 provided on the filter device 13 comes into close contact with the air conditioner main body 1 and acts as a seal.

If the filter device 13 of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner becomes clogged, remove the filter device 13 from the air conditioner main body 1 by sliding the filter device 13 along the guide rails 1 and 12. .

4 to 6 show modified examples of the present invention, and in the modified example shown in FIG. 4, the air conditioner main body 1 is disposed within a duct 19. In this case, a humidifier 20 is attached to the air inlet side of the air conditioner main body 1, and a filter device 13 is attached to this humidifier 20. The means for this attachment is the same as when attaching it to the air conditioner main body 1.

FIG. 5 shows a prefilter 21, and this prefilter 2
1 has a shape 7 that covers the filter device 13, and as shown in FIG. is inserted into the

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, guide rails are provided horizontally in parallel above and below the air suction port provided on one side of the air conditioner main body, and the filter device provided with the flange portion is attached to the guide rails. Since the flange part is installed so that it engages with the air conditioner, the installation area is reduced, and since only the main body of the air conditioner comes out, the number of assembly steps is reduced, and the assembly work can be done easily. This has the effect that it can be easily attached and detached.
