Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an air filter device for an air conditioner.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of air conditioner filter has been shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

That is, both ends 40a of the lower surface of the air filter 40 are flush with the central portion (in a straight line), and the front grill 41 of the air conditioner is
The air filter's claw 43 is hooked and fixed to the hole provided in the center of the front grill, and the front grill is fixed.
Air filter by closing the front panel 44 fixed to 41
We are fixing 40.

However, with such a structure, the air filter 40 is
When the front panel 44 is disposed in the air conditioner and the front panel 44 is closed, both sides of the air filter 40 are pushed by guides disposed inside the front panel 44, and the lower end surface of the air filter 40 is pushed downward.

Further, due to the weight of the air filter 40, both end surfaces are deformed downward with the fixed portion in the center as a fulcrum.

As a result, when the front panel 44 is opened and the front panel 44 is closed again by cleaning the air filter or the like, the air filter 40 hits a convex rib provided on the back surface of the front panel, which causes an undesirable phenomenon that the front panel does not close. There were challenges.

In view of the above conventional problems, the present invention aims to improve the operability of an air conditioner.

MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is that the both ends of the lower surface of the air filter are inclined.

Action The action by this technical means is as follows.

That is, by making the both ends of the lower surface of the air filter slanted, even if both ends of the air filter are pushed downward by the guide ribs of the front panel and are lowered by its own weight, the convex ribs provided on the rear surface of the front panel are The front panel can be opened and closed smoothly without the end faces interfering, improving the operability of the air conditioner.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is an underframe, 2 is a front grille 3 is a front panel, and the main body is constructed by this. The upper end of the front panel 3 is pivotally supported by the front grill 2 so that the inside can be seen when the front panel 3 is rotatable and rotated in the forward direction. Reference numeral 4 denotes an air filter, which is attached and detached when the front panel is in a front open state. Reference numeral 3a denotes a convex rib provided on the back surface of the front panel 3, and 2a denotes a convex rib provided on the front grill 2, which are in a close positional relationship with each other when the front panel 3 is closed. Take preventive action. 4a, 4b are inclined sides formed from the center to both sides, 4c is a claw for fixing the air filter 4 to the front grill 2, and 2c is provided on the front grill 2 for fixing the claw 4c of the air filter. It is a hole.

In the above configuration, when the air filter 4 is housed in the front grill 2 and the claws 4c are fixed in the holes 2c and the front panel 3 is closed, both end portions of the lower surface of the air filter 4 are under their own weight and the back portion of the front panel. Even if it is pushed down by a guide (not shown) and deforms and goes down, there are inclined sides 4a and 4b of the air filter,
The front panel 3 can be opened and closed smoothly without interfering with the convex ribs 2a and 3b when opening and closing.

Effect of the Invention The present invention makes both ends of the lower surface of the air filter slanted so that when the air filter is stored in the main body of the air conditioner, the weight of the air filter and the ribs on the back surface of the front panel prevent The present invention has various effects such that the air conditioner can be prevented from being lowered and interfered with the convex ribs on the back surface of the front panel to make opening and closing difficult, and the operability of the air conditioner can be improved.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] 1. A front panel that can be opened and closed and dust in the air,
In an air conditioner equipped with an air filter for removing dust, etc., a convex rib is provided on the inside of the front panel so that cold air or warm air blown out from the air conditioner is not directly sucked into the air conditioner. Furthermore, a convex rib facing the convex rib provided inside the front panel is provided on a front grill that fixes the front panel and forms the front surface of the air conditioner, and an air filter is arranged above the convex rib. Set up
An air filter device for an air conditioner, wherein the lower surface of the air filter is an inclined side that is inclined upward from the center to both ends.
