Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a drain discharge device for a window-mounted air conditioner, and allows the sliding door of the window to be opened and closed.

A window-mounted air conditioner is installed by opening a sliding window door halfway and installing it on the opened window frame via an installation frame or the like. At this time, it is well known that the sliding window door can be opened and closed by positioning the air conditioner main body and the installation frame further into the room than the sliding window door. However, in addition to air conditioning, an air conditioner also performs a dehumidifying function to remove moisture from the indoor air, so it is necessary to discharge the water outdoors as drain water, and generally the water is led outdoors from the back side of the machine using a drain hose. However, this drain hose gets in the way when opening and closing the sliding window door, so it is a hassle to remove the drain hose each time the sliding door is opened and closed.

This invention was devised in view of the drawbacks of the prior art, and allows the drain water guide section to move to the outdoor side of the sliding door following the sliding door of the window.An example of the invention will be described below. 1 is the air conditioner itself,
It has a drain outlet 2 on the bottom. Reference numeral 3 denotes an installation frame on which the main body 1 is mounted and fixed to one side of the window frame 4. The lower frame 5 of the installation frame has a notch 6 facing the drain outlet 2 on the upper surface 5a, and the outdoor side surface 5
b has a relatively horizontally elongated cutout opening 7.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a drain receiving portion, which has a hollow container shape and is fixed to the outdoor side wall surface 9 of the window frame 4 with screws 10 or the like. 1
Reference numeral 1 designates an L-shaped hollow arm, one end of which is pivotally supported by a connecting portion 12 provided on the upper part of the drain receiver main body 8 so as to be freely rotatable in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, an upwardly facing socket 13 facing the drain outlet 2 is opened at the other end. 14 is a drain hose, one end of which is connected to a drain hose connection port 15 provided at the lower part of the drain receiver main body 8.
The drain hose 14 is connected to the drain hose 14 and is extended to a suitable outdoor drainage site (not shown), and is fixed to the outdoor wall surface 9 with a saddle 16 or the like at a suitable position on the drain hose 14. Reference numeral 17 indicates a sliding door of a window frame, and reference numeral 18 indicates a connecting member that connects a metal fitting 19 provided on the sliding door 17 and a boss 20 provided near the socket 13 of the hollow arm 11. A coil spring 21 has one end fixed to the hollow arm 11 side and the other end fixed to the drain receiver main body 8 side.

Next, the state in which the hollow arm 11 moves following the sliding door 17 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 shows the air conditioner in its normal operating state, with the sliding door 17 being opened by approximately the width of the main body 1. At this time, the hollow arm 11 is held by the connecting member 18 so that the socket 13 exactly faces the drain outlet 2, and the drain discharged from the main body 1 enters the socket 13 from the drain outlet 2, and the hollow arm 11 is It passes through the arm 11 and enters the drain receiver main body 8, passes through the drain hose 14 from the drain hose connection port 15,
Water is directed to the right place.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the air conditioner is not used and the sliding door 17 is closed. At this time, the connecting part 12 is pushed by the connecting member 18 and the hollow arm 11 escapes from the sliding door 17. The socket 13 side is moved to the outdoor side of the sliding door 17 by rotationally moving around the pivot shaft.

When operating the air conditioner again, open the sliding door 17.
When opened, the connecting member 18 causes the socket 13 side of the hollow arm to follow the sliding door 17 and rotate in the opposite direction to the direction shown in FIG. 13 can be set exactly opposite the drain outlet 2, that is, in the state shown in FIG.

The spring 21 smoothes the rotational movement of the hollow arm 11. If the spring force is applied so that the socket 13 always faces the drain outlet 2, the connecting member 18 will be compressed when the sliding door 17 is closed. It is best to make it a rigid body, and also,
If the hollow arm is pushed by the edge of the sliding door 17, the connecting member 18 can be made unnecessary. Conversely, if the spring force is applied in the direction in which the socket 13 escapes from the sliding door 17, the connecting member will always receive tensile force, so it does not need to be a rigid body, for example, it can be made of string or chain. good.

In this way, with this invention, the drain outlet on the main unit and the drain hose that drains outdoors are guided outdoors via a hollow arm that can rotate freely following the opening and closing of the sliding door, so that the drain can be guided outdoors through the opening and closing of the sliding door. There is no need to touch the drain hose at all, and since the hollow arm is moved via the connecting member, the drain outlet and socket will not be misaligned and drain water will not spill. They can be placed very close to each other and face each other, and since the drain water is received within the lower frame of the installation frame, the drain water will not be blown away and spilled out of the socket even if a strong wind blows.
