Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a dew treatment device for an air conditioner that smoothly collects condensed water around the outlet that occurs during cooling operation.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY In recent years, air conditioners have become more and more compact, and from the standpoint of comfort, the control of the airflow has become more complex, and the air outlets have also tended to become larger, making it important to treat condensation around the air outlets. It's coming.

An example of the dew treatment device for the air conditioner described above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 shows a cross section of a dew treatment device below the outlet of a conventional air conditioner.

In the figure, 10 is an air outlet, 11 is a lower guide wall, 12 is a condensed water introduction wall, 13 is a water tray, and 14 is a front wall.

During cooling operation of the air conditioner, the air outlet 10
The condensed water around the lower guide wall 11 passes through the condensed water introduction wall 12 adjacent to the lower guide wall 11 and is collected in the water tray 13.

However, in the above configuration, the condensed water inlet is adjacent to the lower guide wall of the outlet, so that the front wall of the lower part of the outlet that occurs when the wind direction control is set at an acute downward angle. The disadvantage was that it was not possible to treat the condensed water generated during the process.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a dew treatment device for an air conditioner that smoothly treats dew condensation water generated on the front wall below the outlet.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the dew treatment device for an air conditioner of the present invention includes a guide wall extending from the front decorative grill opening extending downward from the rear in the electrical equipment storage box located below the air outlet. It was established.

Effects According to the above-mentioned structure, the present invention allows condensed water generated on the front wall below the outlet to flow into the interior through the opening and is disposed of by the guide wall extending downward at the rear.

Embodiment A dew treatment apparatus for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show a dew treatment device for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front decorative grill constituting an air conditioner main body A, and an air outlet 8 is provided on the side of the front surface. Reference numeral 2 denotes an opening of the front decorative grille 1, which is provided below the air outlet 8. Reference numeral 3 denotes a guide wall protruding from the inside of the front decorative grille 1, and is provided below the opening 2. 4 is an electrical equipment storage box, 5 is a guide wall for the electrical equipment storage box 4,
It faces the guide wall 3 and is inclined downward. 6
7 is a reinforcing rib, and 7 is an opening of the electrical equipment storage box 4, which guides the dew received on the guide wall 5.

The operation of the dew treatment device for an air conditioner constructed as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Due to the difference between the cold air blown out during cooling operation and the room temperature, condensation occurs around the outlet 8, and the condensation hangs downward. That is, the condensed water generated at the air outlet 8 and below it is introduced into the interior through the opening 2 of the front decorative grille 1 and is further collected once on the guide wall 3 of the front decorative grille 1. and,
When the amount of the collected condensed water increases, it is discharged to the rear side through the opening 7 through the guide wall 5 of the electrical equipment storage box 4 located directly below.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the electrical equipment storage box 4 located below the air outlet 8 of the air conditioner has another guide wall 5 directly below the opening 2 of the front decorative grille 1 and the guide wall 3. By providing the opening 7, the condensed water generated below the outlet 8 is collected inside the air conditioner without dripping into the room. Furthermore, by using the electrical component storage box 4 as a collection route, it is advantageous in terms of space and cost. Moreover, it can sufficiently cope with future enlargement of the air outlet and expansion of airflow control.

Effects of the invention The present invention provides a guide wall extending from the front decorative grille opening to the electrical equipment storage box located below the air outlet of the air conditioner, thereby creating a wall between the air outlet and the front wall below the air outlet. The condensed water can be collected inside the room without dripping into the room.
