Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a drain pan mounting structure for an air conditioner.

In air conditioners equipped with conventional drain pans,
As shown in the vertical cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 and the side view of FIG. Since the refrigerant condenser 3 is disposed on the bottom plate 51 of the outdoor fan 4, it radiates heat by evaporating the air and condensed water sucked in by the outdoor blower 4, but this outdoor air generally contains floating dust. When passing through the condenser, this dust adheres to the surface of the fins of the condenser 3, and the unevaporated part of the condensed water splashed by the condenser treatment mechanism is washed away as it flows down, and finally reaches the drain pan 1.
If the air conditioner is used for many years, this accumulated dust will cause problems such as impairing the function of the condensed water treatment mechanism.

However, due to the structure described above, it is difficult for non-experts to remove the condensed water treatment mechanism and clean the drain pan.

The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and is an air conditioner equipped with an air conditioner drain pan that allows even non-experts to easily clean the drain pan, condensed water treatment mechanism, etc. A part of the bottom plate of the casing is configured to be removable, and a splash disk, a motor, and a drain pan are provided on this removable partial bottom plate.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing how to disassemble the drain pan of FIG. 3.

In the above figure, the same symbols as in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same members as in the same figure, and 1 is the casing of the air conditioner, 51a and 51b are partial bottom plates constituting the bottom plate of the air conditioner, and the drain pan 16 and The condensed water splashing mechanisms 11 and 12 are connected to the partial bottom plate 51.
The compressor 5 and the like are mounted on a partial bottom plate 51b, and the partial bottom plate 51b is welded to the casing 1, but the partial bottom plate 51a is removably fixed to the casing 1 by an outer set screw 52. has been done.

In such a structure, when it becomes necessary to clean the condensed water treatment mechanism and drain pan, or replace the components of the condensed water treatment mechanism, remove the setscrew 52 and the partial bottom plate will open as shown in Figure 4. 51a
Since both the condensed water treatment mechanism and the drain pan 16 can be removed, anyone can easily clean the drain pan 16 and the like.

Then, when cleaning is completed, set screw 5
2 fixes the partial bottom plate 51a in its original position.

In short, according to the present invention, in an air conditioner equipped with a drain pan, a part of the bottom plate of the casing of the air conditioner is configured to be removable, and a splash disk, a motor, and a drain pan are provided on the removable partial bottom plate. As a result, an air conditioner drain pan mounting structure that can be easily cleaned is obtained, so the present invention is extremely useful industrially.
