This is a central front panel located at the central front part of the air conditioner box 11 so as to connect between the two. An air filter 5 is attached to the inner side of the suction grilles 1a, 2a. The inner side of the central front panel 3 is made of heat insulating material A, 6 for sound absorption and heat insulation.
a and heat insulating materials B and 6b are attached. Indoor air is supplied to the intake grilles 1a and 2 on the left and right front panels 1 and 2.
After passing through the air filter 5 and exchanging heat with the refrigerant supplied from the compressor 13 in the heat exchanger 12, the refrigerant is blown out from the outlet grille 4 into the room.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

A conventional air conditioner is constructed as described above, and in particular, since the central front panel 3 does not have a suction grille, it is necessary to install heat insulating materials A and B on the entire surface. However, this central front panel 3
It was fixed to the blower mounting plate 8, drain pan 9, and underframe 10 with screws, but with the thickness of the normal insulation material, the insulation material could not be held down with screws, and the central front panel 3 would rise, causing problems with the design. There were problems such as suction air leakage. In addition, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, if the thickness of the insulation material at the screw-fastened part is made thinner so that it can be held down with the screws, the variety of insulation materials will increase, and it will be easier to work in terms of cost and workability. There were problems such as the condition worsening.

This idea was made to solve the problems mentioned above, and was designed to have a good design without increasing the number of insulation parts, and to eliminate leakage of intake air, etc. .

[Means for solving problems]

The air conditioner according to this invention includes an underframe to which a compressor is attached, left and right side panels erected along the side edges of the underframe, and erected along the rear edge of the underframe. An air conditioner box body has a back panel, the left and right side panels, and a ceiling panel located above the back panel, and a suction grill section is provided approximately in the middle of the overall height, and a left front part of the box body. a left front panel that covers the right front part of the box body, and a right front panel that has a suction grille section approximately in the middle of the overall height and covers the right front part of the box body; Heat exchanger is located at the upper end and the other end is located inside the back panel part, and exchanges heat between the refrigerant supplied from the compressor and the air to be conditioned that is drawn in by the blower through the suction grill part. a drain pan located below the heat exchanger and receiving drain water generated in the heat exchanger disposed substantially horizontally within the box; and a drain pan located above the heat exchanger. , located at the center of the front of the box so as to connect the blower mounting plate, which is arranged approximately horizontally along the inside of the box and to which the blower is attached, and the left front panel and the right front panel. and a central front panel screwed to the front edge of the blower mounting plate, the front edge of the drain pan, and the front edge of the underframe, and the central front panel attached to the inner side of the central front panel. An air conditioner is configured by providing a heat insulating material with punched holes formed in a portion where the panel contacts the front edge of the blower mounting plate, the front edge of the drain pan, and the front edge of the underframe. This aims to achieve the above objectives.

[Effect]

In this invention, the heat insulating material attached to the inner side of the center front panel is punched out at the part where the center front panel contacts the front edge of the blower mounting plate, the front edge of the drain pan, and the front edge of the underframe. Since there is no heat insulating material interposed between the central front panel and the front edge of the blower mounting plate, the front edge of the drain pan, and the front edge of the underframe, they can be easily screwed together and have a stylish design. It is possible to eliminate problems such as leakage of intake air, etc., and it can be made into a single sheet of heat insulating material, and the number of parts can be reduced.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a heat insulating material that constitutes an embodiment of this invention by being incorporated into the general air conditioner shown in FIG. 5, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the heat insulating material seen from the direction of arrow B. FIG. The heat insulating material 6 affixed to the inner side surface of the central front panel 3 of this air conditioner has punched holes 7 cut out only in the portion where the central front panel 3 is attached to the blower mounting plate 8, drain pan 9, and underframe 10. It is composed of one piece.

In the front panel portion of the air conditioner configured as described above, the heat insulating material 6 to be attached to the inner side surface of the center front panel 3 is punched out only at the portion where the center front panel 3 is attached and fixed. Even if it is thick, it can be easily installed and the central front panel 3 will not be lifted up.

In addition, although the case of the heat insulating material affixed to the center front panel 3 was shown in the said Example, the same effect can be had also in other panels.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, in the front panel portion of the air conditioner, in the heat insulating material 6 attached to the inner side surface of the center front panel 3, the portion where the center front panel 3 is fixed, that is, the front of the blower mounting plate. Since the punched holes 7 are provided at the edges, the front edge of the drain pan, and the part that abuts the front edge of the base plate, when the center front panel is fixed, it does not lift up, and there is a problem that suction air leaks. was also able to be resolved. In addition, the heat insulating material can be reduced to a single sheet, reducing the number of parts and improving workability, which has great practical effects.
