DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative panel for a wall of an indoor unit of an air conditioner installed behind the indoor unit in an air conditioner such as a separate room air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Separate room air conditioners are the most frequently used air conditioners in ordinary households, and usually include a wall-mounted indoor unit and an outdoor unit installed outdoors. The indoor unit is fixed to a wall near the ceiling of the room in consideration of cooling / heating efficiency, arrangement of furniture, and the like.

When replacing the air conditioner with a new air conditioner, a new indoor unit is often installed at the same place where the indoor unit was previously installed due to the air conditioning efficiency and various restrictions.

[0004]

However, since the latest wall-mounted indoor units are smaller than the old indoor units, a margin can be made on the wall by the size different from that of the removed old indoor units. This margin was shaded by the old indoor unit, so the color of the wall was different from that of the surrounding wall. Therefore, despite the installation of the new indoor unit, there was a problem that the aesthetic appearance of the room was significantly impaired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention addresses the above-described situation, and finds a decorative panel having a novel configuration to be attached to the rear of an indoor unit installation plate, so that a new indoor unit can be beautifully displayed without repainting the wall surface. The purpose is to improve the quality of the installation without impairing it.

[0006]

That is, a decorative panel for a wall of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention, which meets the above-mentioned object, comprises:
It is made of a thin plate having a horizontally-long rectangular elasticity formed larger than the wall-mounted indoor unit of the air conditioner, and is formed in a loose arc shape in which the center is slightly raised from one side edge to the other side edge, By being fastened to the wall behind the installation plate of the indoor unit together with the installation plate, the arc is extended and almost adheres to the wall surface.

[0007] In the decorative panel of the present invention,
It is also preferred that the circular arc of the thin plate has a substantially constant radius of curvature, and that the bulge at the center of the thin plate is 2 to 3% of the long side of the rectangular shape.

[0008]

The decorative panel of the present invention covers the traces of the removed old indoor unit, conceals the color difference of the wall surface, and mounts the new indoor unit in a state of improved quality without impairing the aesthetic appearance unlike the conventional one. It is possible.

If the decorative panel is in a flat state, both ends will rise and become unsightly when tightened together with the mounting plate. However, the decorative panel of the present invention has elasticity and a moderate arc. Because of this, it is possible to extend the arc and make the whole wall substantially adhere to the wall surface by the above-mentioned joint tightening, so that the indoor unit can be installed with a high degree of perfection.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a state where a wall decorative panel according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted together with an indoor unit and an installation plate.
2 is a plan view of the same, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state after the decorative panel is attached, and FIG. 4 is a front view of the decorative panel.

The decorative panel 1 of the above embodiment is formed of a horizontally long rectangular elastic metal or resin thin plate formed to be larger than the external shape of the wall-mounted indoor unit 2 to be installed together in a front view. The size of the decorative panel 1 is a size that can cover the trace of the removed old indoor unit. In this example, the long side is about 800 to 900 mm and the short side is about 400 to 500.
mm.

As shown in FIG. 2, the decorative panel 1 is formed in a loose arc shape in which a central portion 1c rises about 2 cm from one side edge 1a to the other side edge 1b. 1 to 3, behind the mounting plate 3 of the indoor unit 2, and as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the circular arc is elongated by jointly tightening with the like, so that the arc is almost completely adhered to the wall surface 4a without being lifted.

The radius of curvature of the decorative panel 1 is about 4
A range of 000 to 6000 mm is appropriate, in this example the radius of curvature is about 5000 mm. As shown in FIG. 4, the decorative panel 1 has a large number of through-holes 5 having the same shape and the same arrangement as the mounting plate 3.

Thus, the decorative panel 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention covers the trace of the old indoor unit removed as shown in FIG. 3, thereby hiding the color difference of the wall surface 4a, and keeping the new indoor unit 2 aesthetically pleasing. In addition, it is possible to mount the apparatus with improved quality.

If the decorative panel 1 is in a flat state, both ends will rise and become unsightly when the decorative panel 1 is closed together with the mounting plate 3 which is smaller than the panel 1. As shown in FIG. 3, this arc can be stretched by the above-mentioned joint and the whole can be brought into close contact with the entire wall surface 4a. High installation can be performed.

Note that the color of the surface of the decorative panel 1 is
Although it is difficult to completely match the color of “a”, the decorative panel 1 looks rather like a part of the indoor unit due to the difference in texture, even though there is some color difference, and there is no uncomfortable feeling.

As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, when the panel 1 has a substantially constant radius of curvature, the bulge of the center portion 1c of the decorative panel 1 may be two to two long sides of the rectangular panel. A size of 3% is appropriate.

[0019]

As described above, the decorative panel for a wall of an air conditioner indoor unit according to the present invention is formed of a horizontally long rectangular elastic thin plate formed to be larger than the indoor unit, and has one side edge. The center part is formed in a loose arc shape slightly raised toward the other side edge, and the arc is extended and almost adhered to the wall surface by fastening together with this installation plate to the wall behind the installation plate of the indoor unit By covering the trace of the removed old indoor unit, the color difference of the wall is hidden, and it is possible to mount a new indoor unit with improved quality without impairing the aesthetic appearance. Because it has elasticity and a moderate arc, it can be stretched by co-tightening with the installation plate to make the entire wall almost in close contact with the wall surface. In which a marked effect with occupy perform installation of high indoor unit.
