Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate mounting and removing a filter, as for a filter mounting apparatus of a fin type condenser such as cooling apparatus or the like, by providing a filter holder made of a wire or a strip having more than four protruding parts which pierce the filter and are pressed against faces of fins between the fins. CONSTITUTION:A simple filter 16 formed without a reinforcer is skewered and pierced by a filter holder 15 made of a wire or a strip having more than four protruding parts 17. The protruding parts 17 are inserted and pressed between fins 13 of a condenser 3 so that the filter 16 is fixed. Therefore, it is easy to remove and wash the filter 16. Since the filter 16 is formed without a reinforcer, it can be simple and easily cleaned. The filter 16 can fix the prob lem that dust mingled with oil and the like adheres to the filter 16 and causes the caulking of a reinforcer to separate. Even if the filter 16 needs to be re placed, a new filter 16 formed without a reinforcer is inexpensive and can be certainly pressed and fixed to the fins 13 of the condenser 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a condensing filter mounting device for a fin-type condenser such as a cooling device.

Conventional technology Conventionally, in order to prevent a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency due to clogging of the fins of the condenser due to dust (J-wear, etc.), a configuration in which a dustproof filter is installed in the condensing opening has often been used in cooling systems. .

An example of the above-mentioned conventional cooling device will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cooling device, which includes a compressor 2, a condenser 3 having a plurality of fins, and a condenser fan 4. A guide top plate 6 and a guide fan γ are provided on both side pipe holding plates 5 of the condenser 3 to increase the air blowing efficiency of the condenser fan. A dustproof filter 8 is removably installed in the open-1 part of the condenser 3.

The dustproof filter 8 is held by a reinforcing material 9 around the periphery thereof, and the reinforcing material 9 is formed with a handle 10 for easy removal. Reference numeral 11 designates the collar of the filter 7. Further, a flange 12 for preventing the filter 8 from falling is formed on the guide top plate 6. 13 is a fin of a condenser, and 14 is a refrigerant circulation pipe.

The function of the refrigerator configured as described above will be explained below.

When the cooling device 1 starts operating, the condenser fan 4 rotates, and the air sucked in from the filter 8 side passes through the condenser 3 and is passed through the guide top plate 6 and guide fan 7 attached to the condenser 3. Each component is arranged so that air is blown to the compressor 2 side by the fan 4 through the air passage, and the heat generated by the condenser 3 is reduced. Also filter 8
is disposed to cover the front surface of the condenser 3 in order to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the condenser 3 due to air blowing, and is configured to be easily removed in consideration of cleaning performance.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, the filter 8 can be easily removed when cleaning the filter 8, but the dust mixed with oil etc. adhering to the filter 8 may cause the reinforcing member 9 to come off. It is difficult and very time-consuming to remove this by cleaning the reeds. Furthermore, even if it were to be replaced, it would be expensive because it consists of the filter 8 and the reinforcing material 9 held around it, so it would be a shame to discard it.

The present invention solves the problems of the conventional "filling" system by eliminating the compensating force that is retained around the filter.

In particular, it facilitates cleaning of the filter.
Moreover, the mounting member for the filter can be made inexpensive.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the condenser filter mounting device of the present invention eliminates the filter reinforcing material, penetrates the filter, and installs pressure points at four or more points between the fins of the condenser.
It is equipped with a wire or band filter holding material having a convex portion for retaining liquid.

Effect: With the above-described configuration, the present invention allows dust such as oil attached to the filter to be easily cleaned without worrying about the reinforcing member coming off, and the filter holding material penetrates through the filter and is securely cleaned. At least four points are held in pressure contact between the fins of the condenser.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Components that are the same as those in the conventional example are given the same numbers and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a filter holding material made of a wire or a strip having four or more convex portions 17 held in pressure contact between the condenser fins 13. 16 is a filter without reinforcement material.

The function of the condenser filter mounting device configured as described above will be explained below.

A simple filter 16 without reinforcement 9 is skewered through the filter holding material 15 made of a wire or band material having convex portions 17 for pressure contact and holding at four or more points, and
The filter protrusion 17 is inserted and fixed between the fins 13 of the condenser 3 under pressure. As a result, the filter 16 can be easily removed and has good cleaning properties.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the filter 16 without reinforcement is simple, and there is no possibility of dust mixed with oil etc. adhering to the filter 16 or the reinforcing material comes off, and it can be easily cleaned and replaced. Even if the filter 16 is used, it is inexpensive because there is no reinforcing material.The filter 16 is also securely pressed and fixed to the fins 13 of the condenser 3.

Effects of the Invention As described in Section 2, the present invention provides a method for holding a filter by inserting a filter holding material such as a wire or a strip having four or more pressure-contact holding protrusions between the fins of a condenser and penetrating the filter. let me
By providing the Tjj structure, the filter is reliably held in pressure contact with the condenser fins, and the filter can also be easily removed and cleaned.

Furthermore, since the filter is inexpensive, the burden of disposing of it and replacing it is also reduced.
