Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention relates to an air conditioner, and more specifically, to a condensed water guide structure that is generated on the side of a heat exchanger. Regarding construction.

0002

[Conventional technology]

As shown in Figure 1, a conventional air conditioner has a fan 2 and a heat exchanger on a base 1. 3, and a panel 4 is installed in front of the heat exchanger 3, and a panel 4 is installed below to receive condensed water. A condensed water tray 5 was installed to allow the condensed water to flow out of the machine through a drain hose 6. heat exchange As shown in Fig. 3, the device 3 has a U-shaped long tube 3b passed through the stacked fins 3a from the left. Put the ends out on the right side, and connect the ends of the adjacent U-shaped long pipes 3b with the U-shaped short pipes 3c. This is a continuous refrigerant flow path. This connection 3d is made by expanding one tube and press-fitting the other. Since it is formed by top brazing, the tube surface is uneven, and the left side where there is no connection part 3d. While the condensed water moves from the pipe surface to the side plate 3e and flows down, the right side where the connection part 3d is located In this case, condensed water drips from the uneven parts and scatters, contaminating the room. prevent this For example, as shown in the figure, an elastic plate is bent into a U-shaped cross section. Cover the side of the heat exchanger 3 with a water plate 8, or cover the adjacent electrical part (not shown). A water-shielding plate 8 is provided either integrally or separately on the side plate of an electrical equipment box 9 for storing the product.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, installing the water-shielding plate is a difficult task, and it is difficult to install it as an integral part of the electrical box. The disadvantage was that it was large and required a long working time. This invention solves these problems. It provides a structure to solve the problem.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, this idea uses a fan and a heat exchanger as a base. In addition to installing a panel in front of the heat exchanger, a dew panel is placed below to receive condensed water. In an air conditioner equipped with a saucer, the panel scatters from the heat exchanger. It is characterized by being integrally equipped with a guide groove that guides the condensed water to the dew pan.

[0005]

[Effect]

Condensed water splashing from the side of the heat exchanger and reaching the panel flows down inside the guide groove. Those that do not reach the panel are collected by the lower extension and guided into the dew pan.

[0006]

【Example】

Embodiments of the air conditioner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of this air conditioner, in which a fan 2 and a heat exchanger 3 are attached to a base 1. A panel 4 is provided on the front of the exchanger 3, and a dew pan 5 is provided below to receive condensed water. A drain hose 6 is provided to guide condensed water to the outside of the machine. Figure 2 shows the rear of panel 4. This is a perspective view from above, and with reference to FIG. The condensed water scattered from the heat exchanger 3 is guided to the dew pan 5 on the inner surface of the facing panel 4. A guide groove 7 is integrally provided. The guide groove 7 connects two walls 7a to the left and right sides of the panel 4. It is formed into a gutter-like shape that opens inward by standing upright at appropriate intervals, and the lower part extends inward. The extension portion 7b is provided with an extended portion 7b, the tip of which is located above the dew pan 5.

[0007] Therefore, when the air conditioner is operated, the moisture in the air is cooled by the heat exchanger 3 and generated. Most of the condensed water flows into the dew pan 5 through the fins 3a or the side plates 3e, but The condensed water generated on the right side of the heat exchanger 3 drips from the uneven part of the connection part 3d and flows into the lower pipe. They collide with each other and break into pieces, or they break off from the pipe surface as they move along the pipe diameter. It will fly forward as a drop and collide with the panel 4 or fall in front of the dew pan 5. I try to sleep. In this invention, the guide groove 7 is provided, so that the condensed water that reaches the panel 4 is Anything that flows down inside the guide groove 7 and does not reach the panel is collected by the lower extension part 7b and exposed. guided into the dish 5. In addition, the droplets generated when colliding with the panel 4 are also collected by the wall 7a. be done.

[0008]

[Effect of the idea]

Since the guide groove is integrally formed on the panel, there is no need to install a water shield plate or electricity. This has the advantage of reducing the size of the packaging, making assembly easier, and saving materials. It can be effective.
