Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a drain water collecting device for an air conditioner, and its purpose is to collect drain water reliably using a simple method.

Conventionally, for drain water in an air conditioner, a drain receiving plate is installed at an angle below the evaporator 3, and when the lower edge of this drain receiving plate is bent upward, the central part of the lower edge becomes the lowest point. Drill a hole in the lowest part, weld a drain boss, connect the drain hose H to this drain boss B, and connect the drain tank T.
It is designed to store water.

Therefore, welding of the drain boss B requires a lot of effort and water leaks if the welding is not completed completely, and the method of providing the drain pan P on the drain receiving plate has the disadvantage of being expensive.

The present invention was devised in view of this, and will be described below based on examples.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the air conditioner, and inside this main body 1 there is provided a compressor 2 for compressing refrigerant gas, and an evaporator 3 installed above the compressor for heat exchange. When the air passing through is cooled, the humidity in the air condenses and falls as condensate.

For this purpose, a drain receiving plate 4 which also serves as an air shield plate is installed at an angle in the main body 1, particularly below the evaporator 3, to receive the drain, and the lower end of this drain receiving plate is made into a chevron shape, and its edges are It is bent upward to form a weir 4a, and a cut (or notch) 4b through which drain water passes is provided at the lowest part of this edge.

Then, a funnel-shaped drain boss 5 is fitted so as to cover the lower end of the drain receiving plate having the cut 4b, and the boss 5 and the drain receiving plate 4 are integrated with screws or the like, and the drain boss is attached as required. This is to connect the drain hose.

This funnel-shaped drain boss is molded from synthetic resin, etc.
Its size shall be determined so as to cover the lower end of the drain receiving plate and prevent drain water from overflowing.

However, according to the present invention, the lower edge of the drain receiving plate is bent to have a notch, and a funnel-shaped drain boss is simply fitted to the notched portion, so there is no need to install a drain pan, and there is a risk of water leakage. This has the advantage that drain water can be easily collected and drained reliably without any problems.
