In the apparatus described above, the air in the room passes along the arrow 2 through the grill 4 on the front surface of the air conditioner, is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 5, and is returned to the room by the crossflow blower 6 from the discharge port 7.
The stabilizer 8 forms a discharge port 7 to stabilize the flow of discharge air, and also receives a drain water 9 to form a drain pan.
Combines 10 The drain water 9 received by the drain pan 10 is discharged to the outside.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the conventional air conditioner, as shown in FIG. 3, in the width 12 of the main body, the portion of the width 13 of the electric component is occupied by the electric component 11 inside the main body, so there is no air flow, So to speak, it is not used for the original purpose of air conditioning. That is, the widths of the heat exchanger, the cross-flow fan, and the discharge port are shorter than that of the main body by that amount. The present invention intends to effectively utilize the inside of the main body for the original purpose of air conditioning, widen the width of the above-mentioned various devices, and improve the air conditioning capacity of the air conditioner.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems, and a heat exchanger, a drain pan below the heat exchanger, a cross flow fan, and a stabilizer for the cross flow fan are provided inside an air conditioner body having a suction port and a discharge port. , And an air conditioner having electric components, the suction port is provided in the upper rear part of the air conditioner main body, the heat exchanger is provided facing the suction port, and a cross flow fan is provided on the downstream side thereof. The present invention relates to an air conditioner, wherein the electrical component is housed in a region formed by the stabilizer for a cross flow fan and the front panel of the air conditioner body.

[Action]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the width of the heat exchanger, the cross flow fan, and the discharge port for performing the original air conditioning is increased by housing the electrical components in the area surrounded by the front panel and the stabilizer. Because you can take
The air conditioning capacity can be improved.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention, showing a state in which the front portion of the indoor unit is removed. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the air conditioner. In the figure, 3a is a main body whose shape has been changed, 3x is a front panel of the main body, 4a is a grill whose position has been changed to the rear upper part of the main body, and 5a is heat exchange whose position has been changed to a position facing the grill. 10a is a drain pan newly installed below the heat exchanger according to the new position of the heat exchanger, 11a is an electrical component whose general shape and position are changed, 14 is a panel 3x and a stabilizer 8 on the front surface of the main body 3a. The formed storage area for the electrical component 11a, 15 is the rear side of the air conditioner, and 16 is the air flow inside the main body. Except for the above, the same parts as those of the prior art are represented and the description thereof will be omitted.

The apparatus of this embodiment moves the grill 4a and the heat exchanger 5a to the rear side of the main body 3a in order to effectively use the width inside the main body, and accordingly, the drain pan 10a is moved downward from the heat exchanger 5a. The electric equipment 11a is newly installed to accommodate the electrical component 11a as an electrical component storage area above the stabilizer 8 which is conventionally used as a drain pan, that is, a space formed by the stabilizer 8 and the front panel 3x. As a result, since the width of the heat exchanger, the cross flow fan, and the discharge port can be increased toward the space occupied by the conventional electrical equipment by the above change, the space occupied by the conventional electrical equipment can be increased. Can be effectively used for the original air conditioning. Further, since the position of the electric component is moved forward in the main body due to the above position change, the attachment / detachment work can be easily performed by removing the front panel 3x of the main body. The front panel 3x of the main body may be provided with a lid that can be opened and closed to perform the above work.

In this device, the air flow 2 enters from the frills 4a on the rear surface of the main body, flows along the arrow 16 via the heat exchanger 5a, and is discharged into the room by the cross flow fan 6 on the downstream side of the heat exchanger as in the conventional case. To be done. The drain water 9 dripping from the heat exchanger 5a is received by the newly installed drain pan 10a and is discharged to the outside.

Since the above-mentioned new position of the electric component has almost no influence on the air flow inside the main body, the air flow does not decrease and the noise does not increase due to the increase in resistance.

[Effect of device]

In the air conditioner of the present invention, the suction port is provided in the upper rear part of the air conditioner body, the heat exchanger is provided so as to face the suction port, the cross flow fan is provided on the downstream side thereof, and the stabilizer for the cross flow fan is provided. Since the electrical components are stored in the area formed by the front panel of the air conditioner body and the heat exchanger,
Since the width of the once-through blower and the discharge port can be increased, the air conditioning capacity can be improved.

In addition, since the electrical components are arranged on the front surface, the attachment / detachment work can be easily performed.
