Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly to an air conditioner in which an outside air inlet for cooling an outdoor heat exchanger is formed on at least the upper surface of the outer shell of the main body.

To explain a conventional air conditioner with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is an air conditioner main body consisting of an outer shell 2 and a bottom plate 3, and the front surface of the outer shell 2 has an inlet a and an outlet b. The inside of the main body 1 is divided into an indoor side A and an outdoor side B by a partition plate 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes an indoor heat exchanger disposed opposite the inlet a, and 6 an indoor fan casing disposed behind the indoor heat exchanger 5, which includes an air guide path from the inlet a to the outlet b. It consists of the partition plate 4, the indoor heat exchanger 5, and the upper surface plate 7 mounted on the upper surface of the indoor fan casing 6. Reference numeral 8 indicates an indoor fan disposed in the air guide path, 9 an outdoor heat exchanger disposed on the rear surface of the outdoor side B, and 10 an outdoor fan disposed opposite to the outdoor heat exchanger 9. , 11 is an outdoor fan casing disposed to surround the outdoor heat exchanger 9 and the outdoor fan 10, and a bell mouth portion 12 is formed on the plate surface thereof facing the outdoor fan 10. . Reference numeral 13 denotes a fan motor for driving the indoor fan 8 and outdoor fan 10, and is disposed in front of the bell mouth portion 12 in the space between the partition plate 4 and the outdoor fan casing 11. 14 is the same partition plate 4 and outdoor fan casing 1
A compressor 15 is located on one side of the space between the partition plate 4 and the outdoor fan casing 11, and is an outside air intake port formed on both left and right sides and the top surface of the outer body 2. be. Note that the top plate 7
Sealing materials 16 and 17, which overlap when the outer shell 2 is attached, are provided on opposing surfaces of the outer shell 2 and the outer shell 2, respectively, to prevent outside air from flowing into the indoor side A.

The operation will be explained in the above configuration. First, when the indoor fan 8 and the outdoor fan 10 are rotated by the fan motor 13, indoor air is sucked in from the suction port a on the indoor side A, passes through the indoor heat exchanger 5, becomes cold air, and is further transferred to the air guide path. It is discharged into the room from the air outlet b. In addition, on the outdoor side B, outside air is sucked in from the outside air intake port 15 and is blown to the outdoor side heat exchanger 9 through the bell mouth part 12.
The outdoor heat exchanger 9 is ventilated and cooled.

However, when rainwater enters the machine from the outside air intake port 15 formed on the top surface of the outer shell 2, a portion of this rainwater accumulates on the top plate 7, further enters the air guide path, and is discharged into the room along with cold air. was. Further, when the main body 1 is used for a long period of time, the top plate 7 becomes rusty, which is not very desirable.

In view of the above points, the present invention has an extremely simple structure that prevents rainwater that enters the cabin from the outside air inlet formed on the top surface of the outer shell from collecting on the top plate. As shown in Figure 4, the top plate 7
The sealing material 16 provided on the top plate 7 is formed of a waterproof material, and the rear end surface of the sealing material 16 is disposed on substantially the same plane as the rear end surface of the top plate 7, and the sealing material 16 is gradually lowered toward the rear end. The inclined surface 16a is formed as follows.

In the above configuration, when rainwater enters the inside of the machine from the outside air intake port 15 on the upper surface of the outer shell 2, a part of the rainwater falls on the sealing materials 16 and 17. It is guided to the outdoor side B along the line.

As described above, the present invention divides the main body consisting of an outer shell and a bottom plate into an indoor side and an outdoor side using a partition plate, and the indoor side is equipped with an indoor heat exchanger, an indoor fan casing, an indoor fan, etc. At the same time, the upper surfaces of these are covered with a top plate, and an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor fan, an outdoor fan casing, etc. are provided on the outdoor side, and a partition plate and an outdoor fan casing are provided on the outer body. An outside air inlet is formed in the space between the fan casing and the outdoor heat exchanger to ventilate and cool the outdoor heat exchanger by the outdoor fan, at least on the upper surface thereof, and on the opposing surfaces of the upper surface plate and the outer body. In this air conditioner, the sealing material that polymerizes when attached to the outer shell is provided, and the sealing material provided on the top plate is made of a waterproof material, and the rear end surface of the sealing material is made of a waterproof material. Since the sealing material is disposed on approximately the same plane as the upper surface of the outer shell and has an inclined surface that gradually becomes lower toward the rear end, the sealing material can prevent outside air from flowing into the interior of the room, and also protect the upper surface of the outer shell. Rainwater that enters the machine from the outside air intake can be prevented from accumulating on the top plate. Therefore, it is possible to prevent rainwater from being discharged into the room, which conventionally occurs, and furthermore to prevent the top plate from rusting. Furthermore, these devices can be implemented at low cost with extremely simple configurations as described above.
