Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] The present invention provides a drain pan for an air conditioner that is excellent in productivity and enhances molding quality. [Structure] The drain pan main body 5 is composed of a drain water water receiving portion 6 which is an inner side surface, an outer peripheral edge portion 7 and an air layer 8 sandwiched therebetween, and a drain pipe 9 which is joined by integral molding.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a drain pan for an air conditioner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as this type of drain pan, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-175812.

Hereinafter, the drain pan of the conventional air conditioner will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In FIGS. 4 and 5, 1 is a synthetic resin drain pan main body, and 2 is a styrene foam heat insulating material. Reference numeral 3 denotes a drain pipe, and a gap portion in contact with the drain pipe 3 and the drain pan body 1 is sealed with an adhesive 4. A conventional drain pan for an air conditioner is formed by vacuum-molding the drain pan body 1 with synthetic resin to form a concave portion on the front surface and a styrene foam 2 as a heat insulating material on the rear surface thereof to form secondary foam. The drain pipe 3 was also inserted and integrally molded.

[0004]

[Issues to be solved by the device]

 As described above, the conventional drain pan of the air conditioner has a waste of molding die in a plurality of steps in its manufacturing. For example, when it goes around to the surface of the main body 1 to cause a poor appearance, or drain water leaks out through the styrene foam 2 that goes around, or the sealant of the adhesive 4 in the gap between the drain pan main body 1 and the drain pipe 3. Had to take a watertight test, and it took a long time to confirm quality defects and quality.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a drain pan for an air conditioner, which is easy to manufacture and has a quality problem, and a time loss is less likely to occur for quality confirmation.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a drain pan for an air conditioner of the present invention comprises a hollow molded drain pan body made of synthetic resin, an air layer in a hollow portion which serves as a heat insulating material for the drain pan body, and the drain pan body. It is composed of a drain pipe that is integrally molded by

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a drain pan for an air conditioner integrally formed by joining a drain pan body, an air layer serving as a heat insulating material, and a drain pipe only by hollow-molding a synthetic resin, so that the manufacturing is easy. Is. In addition, since air is used as the heat insulating material, appearance and quality defects due to the heat insulating material wrapping around the surface of the drain pan body do not occur, and it does not take a long time to confirm the quality.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The drain pan main body 5 of the present embodiment has a recessed portion having a slight inclination on the upper outer surface by hollow molding and has a drain water water receiving portion 6 and an outer peripheral edge portion 7. The side surface and the bottom surface of the outer peripheral edge portion 7 ( A hollow portion having air is formed by extending to the lower surface), and the hollow portion is formed into a shape in which an air layer 8 having a thickness of about 10 mm in which air convection due to heat does not easily occur is formed, and is insulated by static air. The drain pipe 9 is formed by joining the peripheral portion to the non-hollow integrated portion of the lower surface of the drain water receiving portion 6 and the outer surface of the outer peripheral portion 7 and connecting the drain pipe 9 to the outside.

In the above-described configuration, the drain pan is formed by integrally molding the drain pipe main body 5 having an air layer and the drain pipe 9 by hollow molding, thus eliminating waste of a plurality of molds and steps and finishing. The effect of improving quality such as appearance can be obtained.

[0010]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the drain pan is composed of the hollow-molded synthetic resin drain pan body and the drain vipe integrally formed by being joined to the drain pan body. This has a great effect on improving production efficiency, such as eliminating waste of molds and processes and improving molding quality.
