Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cabinet structure for an air conditioner, and particularly to one suitable for a ceiling-suspended air conditioner installed on the ceiling.

Conventionally, as this type of air conditioner, one shown in FIG. 1 is known.

That is, four pillars b, C, d, and e are erected at the four corners of a board a that constitutes the lower panel of the main body, and furthermore, these pillars 1
)-e is bridged with horizontal frames f, g, h, and i to construct a reinforcing frame, and left and right side plates and outer plate j forming the top panel are attached to this reinforcing frame to form an outer shell. was.

As is well known, the interior of the main body includes a dew tray l on which a heat exchanger k is mounted, and a partition plate n on which a fan m is mounted.

Therefore, the support column 1)-e and the horizontal frame f-i are connected to the board a or the outer panel j.
As a result, they are heavy and their installation on the ceiling is limited due to the strength of the ceiling or the inside of the ceiling.

Therefore, the present invention aims to reduce the weight of the main body without sacrificing its strength, and at the same time, it is possible to cope with the deformation of the wind direction plate itself formed in the opening.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an air conditioner main body, which is suspended from a ceiling wall 3 by a hanging fitting 2.

4 is an L in which the dew receiving part 5 and the blower mounting part 6 are integrated.
It is a letter-shaped angle member.

7 and 8 are a heat exchanger and an air blower attached to the angle member 4.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a top panel attached to the angle member 4 via a mounting bracket 10, and includes left and right side plates 9a, which have left and right sides.
9b is formed integrally or separately.

Reference numeral 11 designates a lower panel that is similarly attached to the angle member 4 via a mounting bracket 12.

In other words, the vertical side of the angle member 4, that is, the blower mounting part 6, is located and fixed approximately in the center of both the upper and lower panels 9, 11, and in particular, the lower panel 11 is also fixed with the mounting bracket 12 at the front end of the mounting part 6. There is.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a blowout opening formed at the front between the upper panel 9 and the lower panel 11, and is provided with a discharge grill (not shown).

Reference numeral 14 is an inhalation opening also located at the rear.

15 is a stay, and the opening 13 for p-cutting is located in the center, and its upper and lower ends are connected to the upper panel 9 and the lower panel 1.
1 to prevent flattening and reinforce the front portions of the upper panel 9 and lower panel 11.

Reference numeral 16 designates a cutout in the stay 15 that is inclined such that a plurality of openings are directed upward, and a rotary shaft 18 of a wind direction plate 17 is rotatably engaged with this cutout 19 .

Note that both ends of the rotating shaft 18 are rotatably supported at the left and right side ends of the opening 13.

In this way, the frame of the main body 1 does not have angles disposed on the entire top panel and bottom panel as in the past, but simply has an approximately L-shaped angle member 4, a heavy air blower 8, and a heat exchanger. 7, the center part of the top panel 9 and bottom panel 11 are attached to the vertical piece of this angle member 4, and the bottom panel is attached to the front part of the horizontal piece of the angle member 4, so the number of angle parts is reduced and the overall weight is reduced. can be measured.

Since a stay 15 is present at the outlet or intake opening where there is no angle member 4, the reinforcement of the panels 9 and 11 is not impaired, and the stay 15 also prevents the wind direction plate 17 from deflecting. It is.

As is clear from the above description, the air conditioner of the present invention has an approximately L-shape, and has an angle member on one side of which a blower is attached and a heat exchanger on the other side. Attach the center portions of the top panel and the bottom panel, and further attach the bottom panel to the other side of the angle member, form an opening for blowing or suction between both panels and the left and right side panels, and form an opening approximately in the center of this opening. A stay having a plurality of notches is bridged approximately vertically between the upper panel and the lower panel, and a rotating shaft of a wind direction plate provided approximately horizontally in the opening is engaged with the notches. , since the frame is made up of only angle members shaped like an L-shape, it is lightweight, and since the angle members are roughly L-shaped, the approximate center of the upper and lower panels, which are easy to bend, is Since the opening is reinforced by the stay, it is possible to prevent flattening without the need for a separate reinforcement member.Furthermore, this stay has a notch that engages the rotating shaft of the wind direction plate, so that the wind direction plate is not close to the center of the grill. It does not bend and has great practical effects such as easy engagement between the rotating rod and the stay.
