Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a storage structure for an air filter of an air conditioner, and is aimed at making the storage device reliable and reducing the number of parts.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Reference numeral 1 is a window-mounted air conditioner; 4, a canopy 5, and a base 6. The internal configuration includes a compressor 15 and a condenser 12 attached to the base 6.
The casing 17 and bell mouth 18 of the outdoor fan are secured to the upper part, and the fan motor 19 is attached.
A casing 20 of an indoor fan is attached to the upper part of the casing 20, and a drain pan 21 is provided on both sides of the upper surface thereof. A cooler 9 is placed on the drain pan 21 and fixed with a canopy 5. 8 is an air filter for removing dust, which is connected to the above-mentioned suction grill 7.
The front portion 23 and the left and right side portions 24 are integrally molded to form a U-shape when installed.

The indoor air of the air conditioner configured in this way is supplied to the suction grill 7 and the dust removal air filter 8.
passes through the cooler 9, where heat is exchanged and the sirotskov fan 1
0, the air is blown out from the air outlet 11 into the room. In addition, air from the outside of the room is sucked in from the lower part of the rear surface of the cabinet 3, heat exchanged in the condenser 12, and then passed through the Sirotskov fan 13.
The air is blown out from the air outlet 14 to the outside.

Next, to explain the function of the air filter storage structure, to remove the dust removal air filter 8 for cleaning, first remove the suction grill 7 that is locked to the front panel 4, and then move the dust removal air filter 8 toward the front. Pull it out. When installing, the front side of the rail-shaped guide grooves 22 with a U-shaped cross section on both sides of the drain pan 21 expands into a fan shape, so insert the dust removal air filter 8 from both ends so that it is almost U-shaped. .

As mentioned above, this idea is based on the cabinet,
The front panel, canopy, and base form an outer shell, and the outer shell is divided vertically into indoor and outdoor sides, and a drain pan is provided below the heat exchanger. A rail-shaped guide groove with a generally U-shaped cross section is integrally formed so that the sections open fan-shaped inward and communicate in the depth direction, and this guide groove has a U-shaped front section and left and right side sections corresponding to the suction section. Since the dust removal filter of the shape of the shape is attached to the guide groove, it is not only easy and reliable to take the air filter 8 in and out, but also because it is integrally molded with the drain pan 21, the gap with the cooler can be kept constant and the operation can be stopped. In addition, the drain does not adhere to the filter and cause clogging, and there is no need for a separate filter guide part, making it easy to assemble and inexpensive, which has great practical effects.
