Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the air supply efficiency and cooling and heating capacity of an air conditioner during cooling and heating operations by laying out a discharge port of a decorative cover in the longitudinal direction of the decorative cover to a full capacity and arranging a cooled and heated air discharge port, an electric appliance housing unit and an air suction port in this order and in the direction of either right or left. CONSTITUTION:An air sucked up from an air suction port 8b of a decorative cover 8 is heat-exchanged when it passes through a vaporizer 4 and then the heat-exchanged air is pushed out from an indoor fan 6 and discharged from a cooled and heated air discharge port 8a passing through a passage of a casing 3. The cooled air and heated air discharge port 8a is formed in an aspect ratio of substantially 4:1 in the height direction of the decorative cover 8 to a full capacity, which makes it possible to feed cooled and heated air indoors repeatedly and thereby perform an efficient air conditioning operation. Furthermore, since an electric appliance housing box 9 is installed between the cooled and heated air discharge port 8a and the air suction port 8b, it is possible to prevent the generation of a short circuit that the once heated exchanged air from the cooled and heated air discharge port 8a is sucked up from the air suction port 8b.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a makeup cover for an air conditioner, which improves ventilation efficiency during air-conditioning operation.
Further, the present invention relates to a structure of a decorative cover which is suitable for preventing the reduction of the cooling and heating ability and for the serviceability of electric products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The conventional makeup cover structure for an indoor / outdoor integrated air conditioner generally has a structure in which an electric component storage section is arranged below a cold / warm air discharge port. Further, due to the above-mentioned circumstances, the cold / warm air discharge port has to be arranged at one of upper left corners close to the air suction port of the decorative cover. As a device related to this kind, for example, the utility model 5-1917 is used.
The gazette etc. are mentioned.

[0003]

The above-mentioned prior art does not take into consideration the efficiency of air blow during air-conditioning and heating, and the reduction in capacity due to the short circuit of cool and warm air discharged from the air discharge port. With the downsizing of products in recent years, it is also necessary to downsize the decorative cover of the indoor and outdoor integrated air conditioners. Especially, the distribution of the air discharge port, air intake port, and the storage space for electrical equipment is the cooling and heating capacity of the air conditioner. It is one of the factors that affect the performance, and there has been a limit to the improvement of cooling / heating performance in the conventional distribution and arrangement of the cover. or,
With the conventional structure that stores electrical items under the cool and warm air outlet,
The structure must not be suitable for the charging part of electrical equipment even if dew is attached to the cold air blowing part during cooling operation at high humidity, which makes the structure complicated and is a factor of high cost. , Was not the preferred structure.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned object is to arrange the discharge port of the makeup cover vertically in the vertical direction of the makeup cover so that the cool / warm air discharge port, the electrical component storage section, and the air suction port are either left or right in this order. It is achieved by arranging.

[0006]

[Function] During cooling / heating operation, cooling / warming air is thoroughly blown from the discharge port of the vertically long decorative cover to achieve efficient air conditioning. Furthermore, by arranging the air outlets on the makeup cover in the order of the cool / warm air outlets, the electrical product storage section, and the air suction port, the electrical product storage section is formed between the cool / warm air exhaust port and the suction port. It is possible to prevent a short circuit phenomenon in which the cold and warm air sent from the outlet is sucked in through the suction port. Also, in the case of cooling operation at high humidity, even if dew drops from the discharge port, electrical components are not exposed to dew, and the structure is simple and an extremely reliable air conditioner can be provided. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

On the base 1, the partition plate 2, the casing 3,
The evaporator 4 and the electrical equipment storage box 9 are mounted respectively, the drive motor 5 is fixed to the partition plate, and the drive shaft of the motor is connected to the indoor blower 6. Makeup cover 8
By fixing to the outer box 7, the air suction port 8b, the electrical equipment storage box 9, and the cold / warm air discharge port 8a are formed separately. In the above structure, the indoor blower rotated by the drive motor causes a flow of air, and the air sucked from the air suction port 8b of the decorative cover is heat-exchanged when passing through the evaporator 4, It is pushed out from the blower 6 and discharged from the cold / warm air discharge port 8a of the decorative cover through the passage of the casing. The cold / warm air discharge port of the makeup cover is formed to fill the height direction of the makeup cover with an aspect ratio of 4: 1, so that the cold / warm air can be sent out to the inside of the room to achieve extremely efficient air conditioning. It In addition, since the electrical component storage box 9 is disposed between the cool / warm air discharge port 8a and the air suction port 8b, a short-circuit that sucks air once heat-exchanged from the cool / warm air discharge port from the air suction port The circuit can be prevented. Furthermore, even if dew drops from the discharge port during cooling operation in high humidity, the air conditioner has a simple structure and high reliability without exposing the top surface of the electrical component storage section to dew. Can be

[0009]

According to the present invention, the cold / warm air discharge port of the decorative cover is formed to be full in the height direction and the aspect ratio is 4: 1. Can be supplied to the air conditioner and the efficiency of air blowing during the heating and cooling operation can be improved, and extremely high efficiency air conditioning can be achieved. In addition, in the makeup cover structure, by arranging the cooling / warming air discharge port, the electrical equipment storage part, and the air suction port in this order from the left or right, a short circuit can be prevented and the cooling / heating capacity can be maximized. It will be possible.
