Reference numeral 3 denotes an indoor-side intake port formed on the front surface of the main body 1 and 4 denotes an indoor-side exhaust port formed on the front side of the main body 1 on the indoor-side intake port 3 side, which is driven by an electric motor (not shown) to be an indoor-side exhaust port. 4 has a wind direction left / right change vane for changing the exhaust air from 4 to the left / right direction and a wind improvement down change vane (not shown) for manually changing the exhaust air from the indoor side exhaust port 4 to the up / down direction.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an outdoor air outlet formed above the rear part of the main body 1, and 6 denotes an outdoor air intake opening formed toward the rear surface of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a water tray which divides the inside of the main body 1 into upper and lower parts, and is placed and fixed on a partition plate 8 fixed in a state of standing from the bottom surface of the main body 1 and a pair of left and right columns not shown. The compressor 9 is housed and fixed in the lower rear space surrounded by the bottom surface, the water tray 7 and the partition plate 8, and the water receiver 10 is detachably housed in the lower front space.

11 is a cross-flow fan disposed above the water receiver 10, 12 is a first motor for rotating the cross-flow fan 11, and the cross-flow fan 11 and the first motor 12 constitute an indoor blower. The indoor side intake port 3 formed on the front surface of the main body 1 by the first fan casing (not shown).
An indoor side air duct (not shown) is formed from the inside to the indoor side exhaust port 4. Reference numeral 13 denotes a cooler which is an indoor heat exchanger, which is arranged on the front side of the main body 1 of the cross flow fan 11, and the air sucked from the indoor intake port 3 is cooled by the cooler 13, The air is exhausted from the indoor side exhaust port 4 through the air passage to cool the room.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a second fan casing which is placed and fixed on the water receiving tray 7 and is located substantially in the center of the main body 1, and which has an outdoor air blowing path (not shown) extending from the outdoor air intake port 6 to the outdoor air exhaust port 5. No)) is configured. Reference numeral 15 is a condenser that serves as an outdoor heat exchanger, 16 is a sirocco fan disposed in the second fan casing 14, and 17 is a second motor that drives the sirocco fan 16 to rotate. motor
17 constitutes an outdoor fan.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a rear cover for duct connection, which is fixed to the rear portion of the main body 1 by a screw so as to cover the outdoor intake port 6 and the outdoor exhaust port 5, and is located at a position corresponding to the outdoor exhaust port 5. The exhaust opening 19 is formed, and the intake opening 20 is formed at a position above the outdoor side intake port 6, that is, at a position adjacent to the exhaust opening 19, and the duct connection rear cover 18 is provided with: The intake / exhaust duct 21 is connected.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a window rear cover which is selectively attached to the exhaust duct rear cover 18 at the rear portion of the main body 1,
An intake opening 23 is formed on the rear surface of the main body 1 at a position corresponding to the outdoor intake opening 6, and an exhaust opening 24 communicating with the outdoor exhaust opening 5 and opening toward the rear surface of the main body 1 is formed. ing.

When the main body 1 is attached to the waist window, the duct connecting cover 18 is attached to the rear surface of the main body 1, and the intake / exhaust duct 21 is connected to the connection port of the panel A attached to the waist window.

When the operation switch of the main body is turned on, the compressor 9, the first motor 12 and the second motor 17 are driven, and the air sucked from the indoor side intake port 3 by the driving of the cross flow fan 11 is cooled by the cooler 13. The air is cooled by the air blower, and is exhausted from the indoor exhaust port 4 through the indoor air passage (not shown) to cool the indoor space. The cold air exhausted from the indoor-side exhaust port 4 is blown in a desired direction by the airflow direction left / right changing blades and the wind improving / downward changing blades (neither is shown). Also, sirocco fan 16
Is driven to cool the condenser 15 by the outside air sucked from the outdoor intake port 6 through the intake duct of the intake / exhaust duct 21 and the intake opening 20 of the rear cover 18 for connecting the duct, and from the outdoor exhaust port 5 Exhaust opening 19 of rear cover 18 for duct connection,
And, it is discharged to the outside through the exhaust duct of the intake / exhaust duct 21.

In this used state, the rear cover for connecting the duct
Since the intake opening 20 and the exhaust opening 19 of 18 are formed toward the upper rear part of the main body 1, as shown in FIG.
The reference numeral 21 extends toward the upper side of the main body 1 so that the main body 1 can be arranged close to the wall of the room, and the installation space can be reduced.

When the main body 1 is attached to the terrace window, the duct connecting rear cover 18 is removed, the window rear cover 22 is attached to the main body 1, and the main body 1 is fitted into the panel B attached to the terrace window.

In this state of use, since the intake opening 23 and the exhaust opening 24 of the window rear cover 22 attached to the main body 1 are directly installed on the panel B attached to the terrace window, they are installed in the window via the intake / exhaust duct. It is more stable than mounting and can be installed in a smaller installation space.

With this configuration, it is possible to selectively attach the rear cover 18 for connecting ducts or the window cover 22 that covers the outdoor intake port 6 and the outdoor exhaust port 5 of the main body 1 without changing the configuration of the main body 1. It can be installed according to the type, such as waist windows and terrace windows.

[0022]

According to the present invention, the main body has the same exhaust structure, and by replacing only the rear cover, the main body can be installed at a low cost according to the type of window such as waist windows and terrace windows.
