Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner gantry, and more particularly to a structure of a gantry equipped with a drain pan that collects drain water generated in an air conditioner body.

  In an air conditioner equipped with a refrigeration cycle, when a cold refrigerant flows into the refrigerant pipe, dew is generated due to a temperature difference between the refrigerant and the outside air. The occurrence of dew causes mold, corrosion, and dripping. Therefore, in order to prevent such mold generation, corrosion and dew dripping, the generated dew can be collected without leaking outside the machine and guided to the drainage groove, and further, water wiping etc. A frame for an air conditioner provided with a drain pan that is easy to handle has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-117104 A

  The gantry proposed in Patent Document 1 has a structure that can collect all the dew in the air conditioner with one drain pan. However, as in Patent Document 1, there is no problem as long as all dew can be collected with one drain pan, but there is a restriction on the installation structure of the drain pan, and all dew cannot be collected with one drain pan. In some cases, dew remaining in the air conditioner may cause mold generation, corrosion, or dripping outside the machine. That is, there is a risk of dew collection and drainage problems.

  Moreover, in patent document 1, although it has a structure which can collect | recover all the dew in an air conditioner with one drain pan, it has the structure where the drain pan contact | connected the side plate (inner surface side) of the mount frame. . In this way, when the drain pan is in contact with the side plate of the gantry, the cold dew collected in the drain pan cools the side plate. When the side plate is cooled, dew is generated on the design surface of the surface of the side plate due to a temperature difference between the side plate and the outside air (around the side plate), and the dew grows, and there is a risk of dew dripping.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is a frame for an air conditioner that collects all the dew in the air conditioner main body and prevents the side plate surface from generating dew. The purpose is to provide.

  The frame of the air conditioner according to the present invention includes a casing on which an air conditioner main body is placed, a drain pan disposed in the casing at a distance from an inner wall of the casing, and an inner wall of the casing. And a drain guide that protrudes and covers an edge of the drain pan.

  According to the frame of the air conditioner according to the present invention, the drain pan disposed in the casing at a distance from the inner wall of the casing, the inner wall of the casing is provided so as to protrude inward, and an end portion of the drain pan is provided. And a drain guide covering the edge. Since the drain guide receives the dew of the portion that cannot be collected by the drain pan and guides it to the drain pan, all the dew can be discharged to the outside drain without leaking outside the machine. Further, since the drain pan is disposed with a space from the inner wall of the housing and is not in contact with the inner wall, even if cold dew is collected in the drain pan, the side plate of the housing is not cooled. For this reason, a state where dew is generated on the design surface of the side plate surface due to a temperature difference between the side plate and the outside air (around the side plate) as in the prior art can be avoided.
