Abstract

PURPOSE:To completely discharge out of the room drain water such as dew or the like generated from an evaporator when it overflows by forming a water receiving pan into a dual structure by setting the height of the inside water receiving pan lower than that of the outside water receiving pan. CONSTITUTION:A water receiving device 8 has a dual structure comprising an internal water receiving pan 14 made of a highly heat-insulating material and an external water receiving pan 13 covering the entire outside of the internal water receiving pan 13. Since the internal water receiving pan 14 is lower than the external water receiving pan 13, drain water such as dew which has overflowed therefrom flows through a clearance formed between the internal water receiving pan 14 and the external water receiving pan 13 and is discharged via a drain port 15.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a water receiving device for an air conditioner.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, the water receiving device of the indoor unit of this type of air conditioner has a single structure or a double structure with a material made of a highly insulating material. The heights of 140 and the outer water tray 130 were the same.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the configuration of the water receiving device of the air conditioner as described above, for example, when a large amount of drain water is generated on the indoor evaporator due to dew or freezing, when draining water, As shown by the arrow in Figure 4, there was a high possibility that the water would overflow from the water receiving device and drip into the room.

Furthermore, if the drain port of the water receiving device becomes clogged for some reason, the water will overflow from the receiving tray, so the capacity of the entire water receiving device must necessarily be increased.

This increases costs and makes it difficult to downsize the air conditioner body, and some improvement is required.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a water receiver in an air conditioner with a double structure, and the inner water receiver provided in the outer water receiver is connected to the outer water receiver. Lower the height than the saucer,
It has a step.

Effect: With this configuration, it is possible to prevent drainage water from overflowing and dripping into the room from the water tray.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a schematic configuration of a floor-standing air conditioner.

In the figure, a substrate 1, an air guider 2, an upper cross flow fan 3, a lower cross 70-7 and an 5 are formed,
Upper cross 70 - drive motor 4 for rotating the fan;
The drive motors 6 for rotating the lower cross-fan 70-fan are connected and fixed to the upper and lower cross-flow fans 3.5, respectively.

11 is a mounting plate to which the upper drive motor is fixed; 12 is a mounting plate to which the lower drive motor is fixed; a heat exchanger 7 and a water receiving device 8 are attached to the front surfaces of these plates.

FIG. 2 shows an indoor heat exchanger 7 of an air conditioner according to the present invention,
and a perspective view showing a water receiving device 8.

In the same figure, the water receiver 8 is composed of an inner water receiver 14 made of a highly insulating material and an outer water receiver 13 that covers the entire water receiver.
5 is attached.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the water receiving device 8 of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a water tray made of a highly insulating material on the inside, and 13 denotes a water tray shaped to cover the entire outside of the water tray 14. As shown in the figure, the height of the outer water tray 13 and the height of the inner water tray 14 are such that the inner water tray is lower as shown by A in the figure. Therefore, drain water such as dew that has reflowed from the inner water receiver 14 is transferred to the inner water receiver 14 and the outer water receiver 13 as shown by the arrow in FIG.
The water flows into the gap and is discharged via the drain port 15.

Therefore, even if drain water such as dew generated from the heat exchanger 7 overflows from the inner water receiver 14 for some reason, the height of the inner water receiver 14 is low, so that the outer water receiver can be used. At 1a, the receiver is discharged to the outside of the room. Furthermore, the inner water tray 14 can be made smaller.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention has a double structure for the water tray, and the height of the inner water tray provided in the outer water tray is lower than that of the outer water tray, thereby reducing evaporation. Even if drain water such as dew generated from the container overflows, it can be completely discharged outside. Furthermore, the inner water tray can be manufactured using a small amount of material, and the overall size of the water tray can be reduced.
