Description

Drainage and support device of air conditioner

The present invention relates to an air conditioner drainage and support device configured to support an air conditioner that maximizes the discharge area of air by forming an air conditioner in a cylindrical shape and to receive and drain condensate generated from the heat exchanger.

In general, air conditioners are classified into various types according to their function or configuration of the unit. In the classification by function, the air conditioners can be classified into cooling only, cooling and dehumidification only, and cooling and heating. And an integrated air conditioner integrated with a heat dissipation function may be classified into an integrated air conditioner installed in a window and the like, and a separate air conditioner installed separately from a heat dissipation and compression device on an indoor side.

Conventional air conditioners, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the front panel 20 is coupled to the front center of the cabinet 10 having a rear side wall and both side walls, the lower end of the front panel 20 The control unit 30 is installed to control the air conditioner, and the suction and discharge ports 40 (at the lower and upper front of the cabinet 10 so that atmospheric air is sucked and discharged into the air conditioner) ( 50) are formed respectively.

In addition, the suction port 40 is provided with a suction grill 41 to support the filter member (not shown) while providing a beautiful appearance, and the discharge port 50 is supplied to the room through the discharge port 50. A plurality of wind direction up and down control plates 51 and wind direction left and right control plates 52 are arranged at regular intervals so as to control the direction of the cold wind.

As shown in FIG. 2, a heat exchanger 60 is installed in the cabinet 10 to exchange heat sucked from the suction port 40 to cool air, and a lower portion of the heat exchanger 60 is provided. The drainage member 70 is installed to drain the water generated by the temperature difference when the indoor air is converted into cold air, and the heat exchanger 60 sucks the heat-exchanged air and discharges it to the discharge port 50. The blowing fan 81 driven by the motor 80 is provided in the duct member 82 so as to make it work.

When the air conditioner configured as described above operates the control unit 30 to operate the air conditioner, the motor 80 is driven, and the blower fan 81 connected thereto is rotated and formed at the front lower end of the cabinet 10. The air exchanged in the heat exchanger 60 is sucked through the inlet 40 and discharged in the direction of the arrow of FIG. 2 through the upper outlet 50.

However, in the conventional air conditioner as described above, since the overall appearance of the cabinet 10 is rectangular, the left and right distribution angles of the air discharged through the discharge port 50 during installation of the air conditioner are small, so that the discharged air As it takes a long time to lower the temperature of the indoor air of the non-obvious portion, the operating time of the air conditioner increases, and thus the power consumption of the air conditioner increases.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to condensate water generated during heat exchange of the air in the air conditioner in a cylindrical shape so as to increase the discharge angle of the discharged air when the air conditioner is operating The present invention provides a drainage and support device for an air conditioner that simultaneously supports the entire heat exchanger and the cabinet while draining.

In order to achieve the above object, the air conditioner drainage and support apparatus according to the present invention is an air conditioner having a heat exchanger for heat-exchanging air introduced in a room, and receives and drains condensed water generated during heat exchange in the heat exchanger. And at the same time characterized in that the drain and support means for binding and supporting the heat exchanger.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the structure of this invention is described in detail, referring an accompanying drawing.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in the air conditioner according to the present invention is configured in a cylindrical shape, the discharge port 120 is formed in the upper portion of the cylindrical cabinet 110, the lower portion to suck the indoor air A plurality of suction ports 130 are formed, a heat exchanger 140 is erected inside the suction port 130, and the heat exchanger 140 sucks the heat-exchanged air and discharges the upper portion of the discharge port 120. Blowing means 150 is installed to discharge to the water, the lower portion of the heat exchanger 140 supports the heat exchanger 140 to drain the water generated by the temperature difference when the indoor air is converted to cold air And drainage and support means 160 for binding and supporting the heat exchanger 140 at the same time, and the air guided from the blower means 150 to the discharge port 120 above the blower means 150. No resistance There the duct member (180) for guiding such that the discharge is provided.

The blowing means 150 is a blower motor 151 driven by an applied power source, a propeller-type blower fan 152 rotated by the shaft 151a of the blower motor 151, and the cabinet 110 Supported horizontally to the support bracket 153 for supporting the blower motor 151, and is installed on the lower end of the support bracket 153 to accommodate the propeller blower fan 152 therein while the flow of air Consists of guiding air guide member (154).

The drainage and support means 160 is formed with a concave groove to form a concave groove so as to support the heat exchanger 140 at the lower end, the heat exchanger on both sides of the bottom surface of the drain 161 A fastening boss 162 is formed so that both side brackets 141 of the 140 are fastened through the fastening member 99, and a drain hole through which condensed water is drained at the center of the bottom surface of the drain 161. 163 is formed, and the bottom surface of the drain 161 is a gradient 164 to smoothly flow the water passing through the drain hole (163).

In addition, the drainage hose 163 is connected to the drain hose 170 so that the drained water to the outside.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

First, when the air conditioner is pressed by pressing the control unit (not shown) of the air conditioner, the blower motor 151 is driven, and the propeller type blower fan 152 that receives the driving force of the blower motor 151 rotates. The indoor air is sucked through the suction port 130 formed at the bottom of the cabinet 110, and the sucked air is heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger 140, and then passes through the air guide member 154 to allow the duct member ( It is discharged to the discharge port 120 via 180.

At this time, the condensate generated by the temperature difference of the air flows down from the heat exchanger 140 and flows along the slope of the bottom of the drain 161, and passes through the drain hole 163 and the drain hose 170 to the outside. Spills into.

As described above, according to the drainage and support apparatus of the air conditioner according to the present invention, the overall appearance of the air conditioner is formed in a cylindrical shape to support the air conditioner configured to have a large discharge area of the air, and to be generated in the heat exchanger. By providing drainage and support means for receiving and draining the condensate, the cooling efficiency of the room can be improved, the drainage of the condensate can be smooth, and at the same time, the heat exchanger can be firmly supported.
