Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a handle device for an air filter that is attached to the indoor side of a window-mounted air conditioner.

Construction of Conventional Example and Its Problems In a conventional air conditioner, this type of air filter was constructed as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front grille provided with an indoor air outlet 2, an indoor air intake 3, and a power supply operating section 4, respectively. Reference numeral 5 denotes an air filter that slides in the horizontal direction across the air outlet 2 and the air inlet 3, and is fixed to the rear of the front grille 1 so as to be attachable and detachable from the side of the air outlet 2.
On the indoor air outlet 2 side of the vertically central portion of the front portion 6 of the front air filter 5,
A rib-shaped handle 7 is provided. 7a is a side surface of the handle 7 on the side of the air outlet 2, and 7b is a side surface of the handle 7 on the side of the suction port 3. Inside the air outlet 2,
A blowout grille 8 is provided to change the blowout direction in the horizontal and vertical directions.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
When facing the direction A and blowing out the cooled air through the indoor heat exchanger, the side surface 7 on the handle outlet side
There was a problem in that the cold air was blocked by the handle a, and the blown air was blocked, resulting in dew condensation on the handle suction side surface 7b and the front portion 6.
In particular, when operating in a high-humidity atmosphere, a large amount of dew condensation occurs, and treatment of the condensation water has been a very serious problem.

Purpose of the invention The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and aims to reduce dew condensation on the handle even in a high-humidity atmosphere and to facilitate dew condensation countermeasures.

Structure of the invention In order to achieve the object, the invention provides a hole or a notch in the handle of the air filter.

With this configuration, the area of the handle is reduced, the area of dew condensation is reduced, and the adhesion of condensed water is suppressed.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In the figure, 9 is an indoor air outlet, and 10
is the indoor intake port. Reference numeral 11 denotes an air filter, which slides horizontally across the indoor air outlet 9 and the indoor air inlet 10, is attached from the side of the air outlet 9, and is detachably attached to the rear of the front grille 12. .

13 is a front portion of the air filter 11. A cavity 14c is provided in the center of the vertically central portion of the front portion 13 on the side of the indoor air outlet 9.
A handle 14 is provided, which has a U-shape, is supported at two points on the front portion 13, and is integrally molded with the air filter 11 from synthetic resin or the like.

14a is the outlet side of the handle 14;
b is the suction port side. Inside the air outlet 9, there is an air outlet grill 1 for changing the air direction in the horizontal and vertical directions.
5 is provided.

In the above configuration, even if the outlet grille 15 is oriented in the B direction as shown in FIG. 4 and the cooled air is blown out through the indoor heat exchanger, the outlet side side surface 14a of the handle 14 remains U-shaped. Therefore, the area where the cold air is blocked is small, and the flow of the blown air is greatly reduced, and the effect of the reduction in the area of the side surface 14b on the side of the suction port due to the U-shaped handle 14,
Even when operating in a high-humidity atmosphere, the amount of condensed water condensing on the side surface 14b on the side of the handle inlet and the front portion 13 is reduced, and the treatment of condensed water can be made very easy and simple. Moreover, costs can be reduced at the same time.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the air filter handle device for an air conditioner according to the present invention has a handle having a hole or a notch connecting the suction side and the outlet side in the front part of the air filter on the outlet side. Even if the cooled air is blown out through the indoor heat exchanger, there is less area blocked by the cold air, which greatly reduces the amount of blown air and reduces the area on which condensed water adheres. Even when operating in a high-humidity atmosphere, the amount of condensed water that condenses on the front surface and handle of the air filter is reduced, making condensed water treatment very easy and simple, and reducing costs. It has advantages.
