Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly relates to an improvement in a drain processing structure.

Conventionally, in this type of air conditioner, a drain pan 6 has been installed in close contact with the heat exchanger 4, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

In this case, the installation of the air conditioner heat exchanger is
It was difficult to attach the drain cover 9 for preventing drain leakage from the piping 8 on the rear side of the heat exchanger 4 and the piping penetration gap to the drain pan 6 while looking directly at it. Another disadvantage is that the dust and dirt that accumulates in the drain pan during use of the air conditioner cannot be removed unless the heat exchanger is removed.

This invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. 1 is a floor-standing air conditioner body, with a suction grill 2 and an outlet louver 3 on the front.
It is composed of: A heat exchanger 4 is disposed vertically facing the rear side of the suction grill 2, and a blower 5 is disposed behind the heat exchanger.
Reference numeral 6 denotes a drain pan, which is disposed below the heat exchanger 4 to ensure a service gap 7.
8 is a refrigerant pipe installed to penetrate this drain pan 6, 9 is a cover provided at the part of the refrigerant pipe 8 that passes through the drain pan 6, 10 is a drain pipe, and 11 is a closing plate, which can be attached and detached from the front of the service gap 7. installed on.

As mentioned above, this idea consists of sequentially arranging the heat exchanger and the blower facing each other behind the suction grill.
In addition, the heat exchanger is set upright and a drain pan is placed below the heat exchanger, and since a gap is provided between the heat exchanger and the drain pan, there is no flow to the main body of the heat exchanger. The installation work can be done extremely easily and reliably.
It has great practical effects, such as making drain pan maintenance easier.
