JPH0593527A - Device for disposal of condensate in air conditioner for local cooling - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To introduce, for an air conditioner for local cooling using a drain tank for condensate, a device for disposal of condensate which makes it possible to dispose of the condensate without suspending the operation. CONSTITUTION:A branch valve 3 for dividing a stream of condensate into two courses is installed in a drainpipe 116 so that, by dividing the condensate into two flow to two tanks 1, 2, while one of the tanks is detached, the condensate can be discharged from the drainpipe 116 to the other tank. This constitution makes it unnecessary to suspend the operation of the air conditioner for local cooling and enables effecting its continuous operation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a condensate treatment system for a local cooling machine used by a thermal worker.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a local cooler that can be easily installed has a wide range of uses, and it is required to improve convenience such as continuous operation for a longer time.

Conventionally, such a local air conditioner has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, the body 10 of the local air conditioner
1 is a condenser chamber 104 by partition plates 102 and 103.
And an evaporator chamber 105 and a tank chamber 106. The condenser chamber 104 includes a condenser 107, a compressor 108, vanes 109, and an electric motor 110,
The evaporator chamber 105 is provided with an evaporator 112, blades 113 for the evaporator, and a tray 114 for the condensed water at the lower end of the evaporator 112. The tray 114 communicates with the tank chamber 106. However, the drain pipe 116 that is electrically connected to the tank 115 is provided.

In the above structure, the air cooled by the evaporator 112 by operating the local air conditioner has the blades 113.
Cooled air was locally blown out through the condenser 112, and the condensed water generated when the air was cooled in the evaporator 112 was collected in the tray 114 and then drained to the tank 14 from the drain pipe 116.

[0005]

In such a conventional local air conditioner, when the tank 115 is filled with water, it is necessary to stop the operation once and then remove the tank 115 to discard the condensed water. Since the condensed water is discharged from the drain pipe 116 even while the 115 is removed, the local air conditioner and its surroundings are contaminated with the condensed water. Therefore, there is a problem that the time during which continuous operation is possible is limited because the water is drained after the operation is stopped once.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a local air conditioner which does not need to be stopped while the tank is removed.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention divides a main body into a condenser chamber, an evaporator chamber, and a tank chamber by a partition plate, and the evaporator chamber includes: A cooling vane and an evaporator are provided, and a condensate water receiving tray is provided at the lower end of the evaporator. The receiving tray has a drainage pipe communicating with the tank chamber and branching in two directions and conducting to two tanks. The drainage pipe is provided with a branch valve for branching the condensed water in two directions.

[0008]

According to the present invention, when one of the tanks is full, the present invention drains the condensed water to the other tank by switching the branch valve, and discards the condensed water of the tank which is full during that time. By repeating this operation, the local air conditioner can be continuously operated.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The same reference numerals as those used in the conventional example indicate the same items, and the description thereof will be omitted.

That is, in the tray 114, the tank chamber 1
A drainage pipe 116 that communicates with 06 and branches in two directions and that conducts to the two tanks 1 and 2 is provided.
6 is provided with a branch valve 3 that branches the condensed water in two directions. The branch valve 3 has a spherical ball valve 5 in which an L-shaped through hole 4 is provided, and a cock 7 connected to the ball valve 5 and led out from a three-way pipe 6 is provided to rotate the cock 7. As a result, the ball valve 5 rotates and the flow path of the through hole 4 is switched.

In the above structure, the condensed water collected in the tray 114 passes through the drain pipe 116 and is drained to the first tank 1 by the branch valve 3 first. When the tank 1 becomes full, the branch valve 3 is switched to drain the condensed water to the other tank 2, so the cock is rotated 180 ° and the condensed water in the tank 1 that has become full is discarded. .. By repeating this operation, while the local air conditioner removes either the tank 1 or 2, the condensed water is discharged from the drain pipe 116 to the other tank. It does not become dirty and can be operated continuously.

[0012]

As is apparent from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the main body is divided into the condenser chamber, the evaporator chamber and the tank chamber by the partition plate, and the evaporator chamber is formed in the main body. ,
A cooling vane and an evaporator are provided, and a condensate water receiving tray is provided at a lower end portion of the evaporator. The receiving tray communicates with a tank chamber, and the drainage is branched in two directions and conducts to two tanks. A pipe is provided, and the drain pipe has a branch valve for branching the condensed water in two directions. Therefore, there is no need to stop the operation even while the tank is removed. It is possible to provide an air conditioner.
