Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The objective is to enhance the cooling and soundproofing effect of heat generated from the compressor of the air conditioner in which the refrigeration cycle is integrated in the frame. [Structure] A water receiving groove 5 is provided on the outer periphery of a compressor 2 which is one of refrigeration cycles, and drain water generated in an evaporator 4 is guided to the water receiving groove 5 so that the drain water accumulated in the water receiving groove 5 is used. The heat generated by the compressor 2 is cooled, and the water receiving groove 5 also serves as a wall for insulating the sound generated by the compressor 2.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention improves the cooling effect of a compressor used in a window air conditioner, a cool air dehumidifier, etc., in which a refrigeration cycle such as a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator is integrated.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In window air conditioners, cold air dehumidifiers, dehumidifiers, etc. that have a refrigeration cycle mechanism inside the frame, the exhaust heat of the condenser is released to the outside by the exhaust fan, but the heat emitted from the compressor is cooled only by natural heat dissipation. Is.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the temperature of the main body of the compressor gradually rises during use, heat is effectively dissipated to improve the air-cooling effect, and adiabatic felt is wrapped around it to shield the surroundings from heat and sound. Emits the driving noise as noise, and in the latter case, even if the ambient temperature decreases, the main body temperature rises further, and power consumption increases, which is uneconomical.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner having a refrigeration cycle including a compressor 2, a condenser 3, an evaporator 4 and the like in a frame 1 and a water receiving groove 5 on the outer periphery of the compressor 2. A drain pan 7 provided at the bottom of the condenser 3 is provided so that the water guiding groove 6 looks into the drain water guiding channel 6 for the drain water generated in the evaporator 4, and the water accumulated in the water receiving groove 5 overflows at a constant water level. This is a cooling structure for the compressor of the air conditioner, which is provided with a water channel 8 to the.

[0005]

[Action]

 When an air conditioner such as a window air conditioner is operated, the air passing through the evaporator 4 lowers the room temperature and liquefies (drains) water in the air, and the air passing through the guide water passage 6 is provided on the outer periphery of the compressor 2. It flows down to the water receiving groove 5, and when the water receiving groove 5 becomes full, it overflows and goes to the drain pan 7 under the condenser 3. The heat of the compressor 2 is constantly cooled by the drain water, and The water receiving groove 5 has a function of insulating sound emitted from the compressor 2.

The drain water accumulated in the drain pan 7 is discharged to the outside by a drain hose, or the drain water is sprayed onto the condenser 3 by a rotating plate or the like to be vaporized by the heat of the condenser 3.

[0007]

【Example】

 The configuration will be described below with reference to the drawings of an air conditioner for windows showing an embodiment. Reference numeral 1 is a frame of an air conditioner for windows, in which a compressor 2, a condenser 3, an evaporator 4 and the like are housed, and a compressor 2 is used as a refrigerant. The indoor air is cooled by the evaporator 4, and the humidity in the indoor air becomes dew drops (drain water), which flow down to below the evaporator 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a water receiving groove integrally formed in a donut shape by resin molding or the like so as to cover the outer periphery of the compressor 2, and 6 an induction water channel for guiding the drain water generated by the evaporator 4 downward. The guide water channel 6 guides the drain water to a proper place of the water receiving groove 5 and fills the water receiving groove 5 with the drain water. Reference numeral 8 is a water channel for guiding the drain water that has accumulated in the water receiving groove 5 and becomes full, and 7 is a drain pan for storing the drain water in the water channel 8. In the case of a window air conditioner, the drain water collected in the drain pan 7 is discharged to the outside with a hose, or the drain water is scraped off by a rotating plate and sprayed onto the condenser 3, so that the heat of the condenser 3 evaporates the drain water. Has been taken.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an exhaust fan provided so as to face the condenser 3, and the air sent by the exhaust fan 9 removes the heat of the condenser 3 and is then discharged to the outside of the room. On the other hand, although not shown, the evaporator 4 is also provided with a cool air fan so that the indoor air is cooled by the evaporator 4 and becomes cool air and is sent indoors.

When used as a dehumidifier, only one exhaust fan is provided, and the room air is first taken through the evaporator 4 to obtain humidity and drained to the water receiving groove 5 on the outer periphery of the compressor 2 provided below. The drain water which is guided and overflows the water receiving groove 5 is stored in a water tank and discarded. On the other hand, the room air that has passed through the evaporator 4 is cooled, then passes through the condenser 3 to remove the heat of the condenser 3 and is released into the room. The heat of the condenser 3 heats the cooling air, and It is slightly higher than the above, and a little warm air comes out.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention has the above-described structure and operation, and the heat generated from the compressor 2 is cooled by the drain water accumulated in the water receiving groove 5, so that the compressor 2 is always kept at a low temperature. The performance of the compressor 2 was fully exhibited and the power consumption did not increase.

Further, although the operation sound of the compressor 2 was anxious, since the sound is absorbed by the inner and outer walls of the water receiving groove 5 and the three-layer wall of water, a sufficient soundproof effect can be exerted. The operation sound of the air conditioner is quiet.
