Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] A partially thick-walled mounting base 2a is provided on the back surface of the intake panel 2 of the air conditioner, and welding ribs 2b are formed on the back surface of the mounting base 2a to open and close the intake panel 2. The welding rib 2b is inserted and fixed in the through hole 3c of the fixed plate 3b of the opening / closing mechanism 3. [Effect] The suction panel can be accurately and surely attached to the opening / closing mechanism, and the attachment strength is improved.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a component mounting structure for mounting an intake panel of an air conditioner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The front grill of the indoor unit of the air conditioner often has a corrugated cross-sectional shape provided with a suction bar. In addition, in recent years, in most cases, the front grill has a structure that can be opened and closed like a door in order to incorporate an air cleaning filter, and for this reason, an opening / closing mechanism is attached to the front grill.

However, as indoor units have been downsized, it has become difficult to secure a space for fixing the suction panel with screws, and it is necessary to fix the suction panel to the tip of the opening / closing mechanism by welding. became.

Hereinafter, an example of the above-described conventional component mounting structure for an air conditioner will be described with reference to the drawings. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional air conditioner, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a suction panel mounting portion of the air conditioner, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. In these drawings, 4 is a front grill, 5 is a suction panel, and 6 is an opening / closing mechanism. The suction panel 5 is attached to a fixed plate 8 pivotally supported on the tip of an arm 7 of the opening / closing mechanism 6. Reference numeral 5a is a welding rib provided on the suction panel 5 described above. After inserting the welding rib 5a 'shown by the phantom line into the through hole 8a of the fixing plate 8 of the opening / closing mechanism 6, heat is applied to the welding rib 5a' to shape it into a rivet shape to open and close the suction panel 5. It was fixed at 6.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described conventional component mounting structure, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fixing plate 8 of the opening / closing mechanism 6 is in contact with several apexes of the corrugated cross section of the suction panel 5, and the welding rib having a narrow width is used. Since the height is 5a, the height may not be the same and the fixing may be uncertain due to rattling. Further, the welding rib 5a needs to have a narrow width so that sink marks do not occur on the surface of the suction panel 5, and the strength may be insufficient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to more reliably realize the attachment of the suction panel.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the component mounting structure of the air conditioner of the present invention is provided with a partially thick-walled mounting base on the back surface of the suction panel, and a welding rib is formed on the back surface of the mounting base to form the suction panel. The welding rib is inserted into an opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes.

[0008]

[Action]

 By the above means, the component mounting structure of the air conditioner of the present invention has a structure in which a partially thick-walled mounting base is provided on the back surface of the suction panel, and a welding rib is formed on the back surface of the mounting base to open and close the suction panel. It can be securely and firmly attached to the fixing plate of.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a component mounting structure for an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an air conditioner according to the present invention. 2 is a sectional view of the suction panel mounting portion of the air conditioner, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. In these figures, 1 is a front grill of an air conditioner, and a suction panel 2 of the front grill 1 is attached to an air conditioner main body A via an opening / closing mechanism 3. The opening / closing mechanism 3 includes an arm 3a and a fixed plate 3b. The rear end of the arm 3a is pivotally supported by the air conditioner main body A, and the fixed plate 3b is pivotally supported by the tip of the arm 3a. A suction panel 2 is further attached to the fixed plate 3b. Reference numeral 2a is a mounting base formed by a partial thick molding method in the vertical direction on the rear surface side of the suction panel 2, and a welding rib 2b is provided on the rear surface of the mounting base 2a.

With the above configuration, the welding ribs (shown by phantom lines) 2b ′ of the suction panel 2 are inserted into the through holes 3c formed in the fixed plate 3b of the opening / closing mechanism 3 to mount the fixed plate 3b. The welding rib 2b 'is applied to the back surface of 2a and heated as shown by the solid line to shape it into a rivet shape and fix it.

Since the back surface of the mounting base 2a is one flat surface, it is easy to process, the accuracy is obtained, and the mounting is reliable. Furthermore, since the width of the welding rib 2b can be set arbitrarily, sufficient strength can be obtained.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above embodiment, the component mounting structure of the air conditioner of the present invention is configured by providing a partially thick-walled mounting base on the back surface of the intake panel and further providing a welding rib on the back surface of the mounting base. By doing so, it is possible to mount the parts with high accuracy and reliability, and to improve the mounting strength.
