BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning device used especially for cleaning the inside of an air conditioner installed on a wall or a pillar of a room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the inside of an air conditioner of this kind is cleaned by removing a front cover on which a filter can be inserted and removed. Since dirt from the inside deposits such as smoke traps that accumulate in a stuck state will drop and drip onto the floor where the air conditioner is installed, conventionally, the air conditioner is removed and internal cleaning is performed to remove the dirt. There is not. Therefore, in the past, the only way to remove the air conditioner was to ask a specialist to bring it back to the factory for cleaning, and not only would it cost money and days, but the air conditioner could not be used during that time. It was inconvenient for me. Further, since the CFCs are removed by removing the air conditioner, the CFCs need to be replenished, and in addition to the cleaning cost, the CFCs replenishment cost is incurred, which causes various inconveniences.

Incidentally, unless the interior of the air conditioner is regularly cleaned, the efficiency of the heat exchanging part is greatly hindered by the internal deposits such as the above-mentioned dust or the tar inside the cigarette, especially during cooling in the summer. As a result, not only the cooling effect is deteriorated but also the power consumption is increased. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly perform internal cleaning to remove internal deposits.

[0004]

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a cleaning device capable of cleaning the inside of an air conditioner without removing it from a wall or the like.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, the technical means taken by the present invention is to form an apparatus main body in the form of a box bag having at least the front surface made of a transparent material and having the rear surface opened. A fastening member is attached to a rear opening edge of the apparatus main body, a work window is provided on the front surface, and a filth discharge port is provided on the bottom surface to connect a filth discharge pipe.

[0006]

[Operation] Therefore, according to the above-mentioned technical means of the present invention, after removing the covers such as the front cover of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is covered with the main body of the device, and the rear opening of the air conditioner is fastened by the fastening member. Squeeze it down to stop the device body from the air conditioner, and place a hanging filth discharge pipe at the bottom filth discharge port outside the room or across a trash container such as a bucket. After that, a cleaning liquid is sprayed from the front work window to the inside of the air conditioner, and the cleaning water such as tap water is sprayed to wash off and remove the dust accumulated inside or the internal deposits such as cigarette tar. The washed-off deposit is discharged to the outside of the room or the waste container through the discharge pipe from the bottom surface waste discharge port together with the wash water.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An apparatus main body A is an air conditioner B in which at least a front surface 1 is made of a transparent material and a rear surface is opened by a flexible member such as vinyl chloride. And a rope formed by using an appropriate member which is formed into a box-like bag that can wrap around the rear surface of the air conditioner B and which is narrowed at the opening edge of the rear surface opening portion 2 and stopped behind the air conditioner B. The fastening member 3 is attached by winding it around the entire circumference. Then, the front surface 1 of the apparatus main body A
A work window 4 is provided at the bottom, and a filth discharge port 6 is provided at the bottom surface 5 to integrally connect a filth discharge pipe 7 having an appropriate length by welding or adhesion.

The work window 4 is used for spraying a cleaning liquid on the inside of the air conditioner B, or for spraying cleaning water such as tap water to flush the inside of the air conditioner B after the cleaning liquid is sprayed. The operator's hand is large enough to be opened in symmetrical positions on the front surface 1 of the apparatus main body A so that the worker can perform the above work by inserting both hands from the left and right respectively.

The waste discharge port 6 removes dust and internal deposits such as cigarette tar inside the air conditioner B, which has been washed away with a cleaning liquid, cleaning water, etc., together with the cleaning water, etc., through the waste discharge pipe 7 and in the bucket as shown. Such as waste container C
It is for discharging into the inside, and is opened in the central portion of the bottom surface 5 of the apparatus main body A which is bulged and slanted gradually from the periphery toward the central portion.

Next, an example of a method of cleaning the air conditioner B using the device of this embodiment configured as described above will be described. First, before the device body A is attached to the air conditioner B, the inside of the air conditioner B is exposed. Remove the covers such as the front cover as you do. After the covers have been removed, the device body A is covered from the rear surface opening 2 side so as to wrap around the front surface of the air conditioner B and its peripheral surface, and the rear surface opening portion 2 behind the air conditioner B is squeezed by the fastening member 3. The apparatus main body A is stopped on the air conditioner B, and a filth discharge pipe 7 of the hanging bottom filth discharge port 6 is piped over a filth container C such as a bucket (see FIG. 3). After that, a cleaning liquid (such as a liquid detergent for machine cleaning) is sprayed from the work window 4 on the front surface 1 into the air conditioner B, and after a certain time has elapsed after spraying the cleaning liquid, for example, after about 5 to 10 minutes have passed, a faucet of the water supply As shown in the drawing, the hose D led from the above is exposed to the inside of the apparatus main body A through the work window 4 and tap water (washing water) is directed toward the inside of the air conditioner B to collect dust or tar inside the cigarette. Rinse away internal deposits. The washed-out deposit is discharged to the waste container C from the waste discharge port 6 on the bottom surface 5 through the discharge pipe 7 together with tap water and the like.

As the above-mentioned work procedure, the apparatus main body A
The cleaning liquid may be sprayed inside the air conditioner B before the air conditioner B is covered therewith, and the apparatus main body A may be covered after the spraying work is completed.

[0012]

Since the cleaning device for a wall-mounted air conditioner of the present invention is constructed as described above, the covers such as the front cover of the air conditioner are removed to cover the air conditioner with the main body of the device and the rear opening of the air conditioner behind the air conditioner. Stop by the fastening member to stop the device body in the air conditioner, pipe the sewage discharge pipe of the hanging bottom sewage discharge port over the sewage container such as outdoors or in a bucket, and then spray the cleaning liquid from the front work window to the inside of the air conditioner, such as tap water. By sprinkling the cleaning water on the inside of the air conditioner, it is possible to wash away and remove the internal deposits such as dust or cigarette tar. It can be discharged to the outside or a waste container such as a bucket through the discharge pipe. Therefore, since it is possible to clean the inside of the air conditioner without removing it from the wall, etc., there is no replenishment cost of CFC gas in addition to the cleaning cost as in the past, and at the same time there is no waste of CFC gas, It can be used continuously after the inside has dried. Moreover, the cleaning can be easily and quickly performed by an amateur who does not have the technology, such as a home appliance maker or a user, without requesting a specialist.
