Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a reinforcing structure for a grill of an air conditioner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 3, the air conditioner according to the conventional example has a detachable filter 4 provided on the front surface of a main body 1 to which a heat exchanger 2 and a fan 3 are attached, and the front surface thereof is covered with a grill 5. The upper end of the grill 5 is pivotally supported by the main body 1 so that it can be opened and closed. The upper part of the grill 5 has a plurality of suction holes. The lower end of the grill 5 is in contact with the upper edge of the outlet. The sealing material 9 also functions to prevent the outflow of the water, and both ends of the lower part are disengaged by pressing once and then locked by the main body 1 by the push-push latches that are locked by pressing next. However, the synthetic resin grille 5 that is light in weight and has a complicated shape has increased flexure as the size increases, and the lower end does not abut the upper edge of the blowout opening due to molding distortion and the like. There was a risk that the effect would be lost and condensation would form.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional example, and an object thereof is to provide a reinforcing structure for a grill that prevents deformation of the grill and prevents dew condensation.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, in an air conditioner in which the front of the main body is covered with an openable and closable grill, both lower ends of the grill are latched to the main body by latches, and the rear side of the grill between the latches is fixed. A reinforcing member is provided, and the reinforcing member has a V-shaped cross section, and the opening portion is brought into contact with the back surface of the grill, and a plurality of mounting portions are provided in the longitudinal direction. It consists of a vertical part that is integrally formed and extends upward, and a horizontal part that is connected to this and bent back, while a horizontal rib is provided on the back of the grille to insert the horizontal part. A through hole is formed along the inner wall of the grill to allow the vertical portion to move, which is connected to the through hole.The horizontal portion is inserted through the through hole from below, and then the vertical portion is positioned inside the slit. It is characterized by

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the reinforcing member is arranged between the latches, the flat surface of the lower part of the grill is maintained, and the lower end of the grill contacts the upper edge of the outlet.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of a grill reinforcing structure for an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the machine, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the main part provided on the back surface of the lower right part of the grill. First, in FIG. 1, a detachable filter 4 is provided on the front surface of a main body 1 to which a heat exchanger 2 and a fan 3 are attached, and the front surface is covered with a grill 5. The upper end of the grill 5 is pivotally supported by the main body 1 so as to be openable and closable, and a plurality of suction holes are formed in the upper part, and the lower end is brought into contact with the upper edge of the air outlet, and the abutting part is insulated and condensed. Sealing material 9 also functions to prevent the outflow of water, and both ends of the lower part are disengaged when pressed once, and are locked to the main body 1 by a push-push latch (not shown) that is locked when pressed next time. Inside the lower end, a reinforcing member 6, which is a feature of the present invention, is attached to a horizontal rib 8, and a sealing material 9 is provided between the reinforcing member 6 and the upper edge of the outlet. Referring to FIG. 2, the reinforcing member 6 is made of a metal material, has a V-shaped cross section, and has an opening abutting against the back surface of the grill 5 and a plurality of mounting portions 7 in the longitudinal direction. The part 7 comprises a vertical part 7a which is integrally formed with the reinforcing member 6 and extends upward, and a horizontal part 7b which is connected to the vertical part 7a and bent backward, while a horizontal rib 8 is provided on the rear surface of the grill 5. A through hole 8a through which the horizontal portion 7b is inserted and a slit 8b which is connected to the horizontal portion 7b and through which the vertical portion 7a can move are formed along the inner wall of the grill, and the horizontal portion of the attaching portion 7 is shown by a chain double-dashed line. After inserting the through hole 8a from below, the vertical portion 7a is positioned in the slit 8b. Since the dimensions of each part are properly selected, the open end of the V-shaped part presses the rear surface of the grill 5 so that the reinforcing member 6 does not move.

Accordingly, the V-shaped portion of the reinforcing member 6 resists the bending force in the horizontal plane due to the molding distortion of the grill 5 and the distortion due to aging, and the lower portion of the grill 5 is always flat. Keep it in contact with the upper edge of the outlet for the entire length to prevent dew condensation.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the present invention, since the space between the grill latches is reinforced by the reinforcing member to maintain the flat surface, the effect of preventing dew condensation can be obtained.
