Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a type of air conditioner that does not require attaching or detaching the drain hose to drain the air conditioner's drain outdoors, and that allows the air conditioner to be moved indoors or outdoors through a window. Regarding drain drainage equipment.

Conventionally, when operating an air conditioner of a type in which the main body of the air conditioner can be moved indoors and outdoors, the window is opened and the back part of the main body of the air conditioner protrudes outside, and then the lower part of the main body of the air conditioner is opened. A drain hose was connected to a drain outlet provided in the air conditioner, and the drain from the air conditioner was drained outside through the drain hose. Further, when stopping the operation of the air conditioner of the above type, the drain hose connected to the drain outlet is removed, the air conditioner body is pulled into the room, and the window is closed.

Attaching and detaching such a drain hose is a troublesome and complicated task, and is especially dangerous when the air conditioner is installed at a high place. It has also become essential to store the drain hose when the air conditioner is not in operation.

The present invention was devised in view of the drawbacks of the conventional device as described above, and its purpose is to configure the drain passage to rotate in response to the air conditioner being moved in and out of the window. To provide a drain drainage device for an air conditioner which eliminates the complicated work of attaching and detaching a drain hose as in the past.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a drain drainage device 1 for an air conditioner embodying the present invention. Reference numeral 2 denotes a window frame on which an air conditioner 3 is installed, and a window 4 (see FIG. 2) is attached so as to be movable along the rails of this window frame 2. An outer frame 5 is attached to the indoor side of the window frame 2, and a support frame 6 is provided to protrude from the lower end of the outer frame 5 toward the interior of the room. A required number of rails 7 are provided on the support frame 6 facing the window, and the mounting base 9 is configured to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the window 4 via rollers 8 running on the rails 7.

The air conditioner 3 is installed on the mounting base 9 configured to be movable in this manner. A drain outlet 10 is provided at the bottom of the air conditioner 3.

A drain tray 12 is mounted on the support frame 6 so as to be rotatable about a pivot shaft 11, and a drain drainage passage 13 extending approximately radially from the pivot shaft 11 is provided in the drain tray 12. . Further, a curved guide groove 15 is formed in the drain tray wall 14 on the side of the pivot shaft 11 of the drain tray 12 (see also FIG. 3).

The actuating piece, for example, the actuating pin 16 that fits into the guide groove 15, is provided in the mounting base 8 or with a guide hole having the same shape as the guide groove described above, so that it fits into the guide groove 15 through this guide hole. It protrudes from the bottom of the air conditioner 3.

The drain tray 12 is configured such that the drain outlet 10 always faces the drain tray 12 within the range in which the drain tray 12 moves by sliding the guide groove through the actuating piece 16 that moves linearly. The guide groove 15 is also configured to correspond to the locus of movement. The drain tray 12 is configured to rotate 90 degrees.

The operation of the device of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration will be described below.

When operating the air conditioner 3, the window 4 is opened,
The rear part of the air conditioner 3 on the mounting base 9 is pushed out of the window. At this time, the pin 16 protruding from the bottom surface of the mounting base 9 also moves linearly toward the window 4. The guide groove 15 of the drain tray 12 is slid through the moving pin 16. To describe this in more detail, the pin 16 fitted in the guide groove 15
As the window 4 moves, the window 4 is pressed while pushing the inner periphery of the guide groove 15 from the fitting position A point with the guide groove 15.
This drain tray 1 moves linearly to the outside of the
2 rotates counterclockwise around the pivot shaft 11 and is rotated 90 degrees.

At this time, the position of the pin 16 will be moved to approximately the center position of the guide groove 15, point B. Therefore, in response to the movement of the air conditioner 3 toward the outdoors, the drain passage 13 is automatically moved from below the air conditioner 3 to outside the window.

After that, the air conditioner 3 is operated. Drain generated from the air conditioner 3 is drained from a drain outlet 10 through a drain tray 12 and a drain drain passage 13 to an outdoor drain receiver.

When the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the air conditioner 3 on the mounting base 9 is pulled into the room. At that time, the pin 16 protruding from the bottom of the mounting base 9
is also moved in a straight line towards the room.

The guide groove 15 of the drain tray 12 is slid through the moving pin 16.

To explain this in detail, the pin 16 that is fitted into the guide groove 15 pushes the outer periphery of the guide groove 15 from the approximately central point B to the position where the pin 16 moves linearly. while moving towards point A. Therefore, the drain tray 12 is moved by the pivot shaft 11, contrary to the above-mentioned movement of the air conditioner 3 toward the outside of the window.
, and the drain passage 13 is also rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The position of the pin 16 at this time will move to the original position A of the guide groove 15. Therefore, in response to the movement of the air conditioner 3 toward the room, the drain passage 13 is automatically moved from outside the window to below the air conditioner 3.

Then, window 4 is closed.

As described above, when the air conditioner 3 is operated, the window is opened, and as the air conditioner 3 moves toward the outside of the window, the drain passage 13 automatically closes the air conditioner 3.
An air conditioner in which the drain passage 13 is rotated from the lower side to the outside of the window, and the drain passage 13 is automatically moved from outside the window into the room as the air conditioner 3 moves toward the room after the air conditioner 3 stops operating. Since the drain hose can be rotated downwards, there is no need for the complicated work of attaching and detaching the drain hose as in the past. Therefore, it is possible to completely eliminate the danger of attaching and detaching the air conditioner, which occurs when the air conditioner is installed at a high place. Furthermore, there is no need to store the removed drain hose, and there is no risk of losing the drain hose.

Although the guide groove 15 of the drain tray 12 described above has an arc shape of approximately 180 degrees, the portion where the pin 16 actually operates is approximately half of this.
In addition, if the drain outlet of this air conditioner is located on the opposite side to the above embodiment, instead of rotating the drain tray 12 counterclockwise from the left side and moving it out of the window, conversely, move it clockwise from the right side. It is configured to rotate in the direction and move out of the window.

In this case, the guide groove on the opposite side to that used above will be used. Therefore, the guide groove of the above embodiment is configured to be compatible with both.
(The pivot shaft of the drain tray 12 in this case is not shown.) Also, in the above embodiment, the drain tray 12 is pivoted to the mounting frame 9 and the pin 16 is fixed to the bottom surface of the air conditioner 3. As explained, the drain tray is pivoted to the bottom of the air conditioner 3,
The pin 16 may be fixed to the mounting frame 9. In addition, a rack for the mounting frame 9 is provided, a gear to be engaged is fixed to the bottom of the air conditioner, and one or a number of gears fixed to the bottom of the air conditioner are attached to this gear. It is also possible to make a configuration in which the output gears are meshed with each other, and the output gear rotates a shaft rotatably provided on the bottom surface of the air conditioner, and the drain tray is fixed to this shaft. These are just examples, and in short:
The present invention is based on a mechanism that rotates the drain tray and the drain drainage passage extending from the drain tray between the bottom side of the air conditioner and the outside of the window in response to the movement of the air conditioner indoors and outdoors. The mounting frame is not limited to these, as it may be provided between the mounting frame and the mounting frame.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, there is no need for the complicated work of attaching and detaching the drain hose as in the conventional method.

The effect can eliminate the danger in case of high installation location.

This makes it unnecessary to store the drain hose and secure space for it, which is a highly practical effect.
