Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a display unit to the main body of an indoor unit for monitoring the operating status of an air conditioner, indoor temperature, time remaining on a timer, etc.

Conventionally, means for attaching this type of display to the indoor unit body has been constructed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

That is, conventionally, mounting feet 3a and 3b are formed on the upper and lower edges of the display section 2, respectively, and the display section 2 is attached to the air conditioner main body 1 through the square hole section 7 of the electrical component box 6. After inserting the mounting feet 3a of the display section 2 and fixing the mounting feet 3b to the electrical component box 6 with the mounting screws 8, the front panel 5 is mounted to the indoor unit box 4 to complete the process.

In such a conventional display unit mounting structure, if the display unit 2 is not fixed in the predetermined position of the electrical component box 6 without any deviation, the dimensions of the front panel 5 may be changed when the front panel 5 is subsequently attached. Front panel 5 may be damaged due to slight variations or slight assembly errors.
The alignment between the window 10 formed in the window 10 and the display section 2 may not be performed accurately, and the gap 9 in the alignment section may vary, or the alignment may become impossible, resulting in something that cannot be assembled. It was expected.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to arrange the display part so that it aligns with the window of the front panel even if there is some variation in dimensions or some assembly error in the front panel when the front panel is assembled. It is an object of the present invention to provide a display mounting structure for an air conditioner that can be supported movably up and down and left and right within a small range.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the display mounting structure for an air conditioner according to the present invention will be further described with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the display mounting structure for an air conditioner according to the present invention. In FIG. 3 showing this embodiment, the reference numeral 12 indicates an electrical box of the indoor unit to which the display section 14 is attached, and a mounting foot 11a formed on the upper edge of the display section is inserted into the upper part of the electrical box 12. A cap 17 having a mounting hole 13a with an opening width A' is provided as a receiving portion.

On the other hand, a clamping part 13b is formed as another receiving part in the lower part of the electrical component box 12, and the clamping part 13b is provided with two claws 18 that project forward at an interval B' in the horizontal direction. . The tips of these claws 18 have protrusions raised on the inner side, that is, on the sides facing each other, and the front corners 19 of the protrusions are formed into tapered surfaces that are inclined inward. This 2
A guide pin 15 is provided in the center between the two claws 18 and extends forward from the electrical component box 12.

Incidentally, the mounting foot 11a provided on the upper edge of the display section 14 has an L-shape that extends backward and then stands upward, and its width dimension A is smaller than the opening width A' of the mounting hole 13a in the cap 17 mentioned above. has been done. Further, the other mounting foot 11b provided at the lower edge of the display section 14 is formed in a bucket shape with a flange section 20 extending downward from the rear surface of the display section as a back surface.
A hole 16 larger than the guide pin 15 is formed in the hole 0 . The width dimension B of the mounting foot 11b is smaller than the interval B' between the pawls 18 described above. That is, it is designed so that A<A' and B<B'.

As a result, the display section 14 has its upper edge mounting foot 11a inserted into the cap's mounting hole 13a, and its lower edge mounting foot 11b positioned so that the guide pin 15 of the clamping section 13b enters the hole 16. It is pushed between the claws 18, 18, and the side wall of the bucket-shaped mounting foot 11b is supported by the claws 18 with pressure. However, the display section 14 can move vertically and horizontally within the range in which the guide pin 15 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the hole 16 of the mounting leg 11b. As a result,
If a front panel with a window (not shown) is attached after the display unit 14 is attached, even if there is a slight dimensional error in the front panel or a slight error in the assembly of the front panel. Since the position of the display section 14 can be finely adjusted, the display section and the window of the front panel can be perfectly aligned.

For this reason, in the past, due to slight variations in dimensions, the window was made somewhat larger so that a slight gap was formed between the display section and the window on the front panel when they were aligned. Now, without creating such a gap, even if the display section and the window on the front panel are made to almost perfectly match the size, perfect alignment can be obtained, which improves assembly efficiency and improves the appearance. It is possible to obtain a consistent settlement for both.
